    Seen Mario 3D and Smash Bros for Wii U in Tesco Clearwater last week, can't imagine them stocking such games without the console to boot, must pop over in the morning to check.

    My local Tesco only recently started stocking a handful of copies of Smash, 3D World and Mario Kart aswell. No sign of any consoles though.

    They're hiding them out the back! Look, I have never advocated murdering anyone or wearing their skin while dancing around a 75%-off Kindle but a man must have his WiiU....

    Has to be a new thing, I shop either there or Clarehall and when I'm on my own I like to wander around their gaming and electronics section, I've never seen Wii U stuff in either.

    Virtue's Last Reward is a very strange but very, very good game!
    Interesting mechanics and a puzzle/visual novel style game.

    Bit.Trip Saga is great too. A bunch of really good rhythm games.

    The trailer doesn't really help explain why these games are so good, so look up some reviews or gameplay videos. :)

    Cheers for the heads up but I'll be using it for myself and my three kids; missus does triathlons instead so no need there.

    I got one in Smyths in Bray, but it doesn't look like there was much stock nationwide for this. Doesn't look like I'll be using the pedometer either, myself and the wife already have a FitBit so there's no reason to carry another, bigger one around in my pocket!

    It is an excellent game, for anyone who likes Danganronpa it is right up there with being on of the best visual novels in recent times.

    Its based on the best pedometer of 2011. I bet Fitbit can't say that!

    I picked it up in physical form a couple of years ago, well worth picking up.

    I got one in Smyths.
    It is regularly priced low in France, Germany and Italy.
    I leftg my job in August, thinking I was going travelling, long story short, I didn't (go travelling), and I still help the person that took over.
    They monitor many prices in Europe, and as a result lots of other stuff comes in (They have their own software that they paid thousands for).

    The Wii U fit including pedometer etc, averages around €54, but should be easy enough to find (not all the time) around €20 - €25, if you are looking for it.
    There are some good price comparison sites in Europe.

    2DS is a bit pointless now though.
    Too many options out there, the 2DS simply isn't terribly comfortable tbh.
