    For me they wouldn't be able to deliver to my house, and then I'd have to drag my ass to one of the An Post centres to collect the 'failed delivery' within their hours, whereas I drive past a Parcel Motel on my way home.

    Oh yeah, never though of that. They just leave stuff in my back porch.

    But I'd get a packet of dark chocolate digestives and a tin of heinz beans out of the €2.52.

    Is that some sort of weird 'beans on toast' alternative? :pac:

    For €2.52 I'd have just got it delivered to my house. No wasting time collecting it from parcel motel, no worry over whether they will deliver to parcel motel and is be contributing to our tax haul :)

    Added benefit is I work all day monday to friday's, so I'd have to trek up to the postal depo on the weekend, PM has a box not too far from work, so I can collect it the morning it arrives there.

    Sounds like the Nintendo UK Store guys messed up royally with the new Zelda cover plates, and had the wrong product ID on each of them, so everybody got the wrong plates. Unless they ordered both of course.

    Part of me hopes this means the skull kid plates will become available again soon as I've still not gotten any at a decent price

    IGN have a fairly up to date list of their top 25 games which is a decent starting point for good games: http://uk.ign.com/articles/2013/09/10/the-top-25-nintendo-3ds-games

    Personally I'd recommend

    Mario 3D Land
    Fire Emblem Awakening
    Zelda (all 3 are good but OOT is my favourite)

    Would def take a look at the platformers. Last time I played Pokemon was on the game boy so might be worth a look.

    Must take a look into your list and see what I would like

    Personally I brought my 3DS For Bravely Default and the Zelda Series, but there is an amazing back catalog on the 3ds, and that before you even look at the regular DS catalog. 3DS wise, I think its anything Zelda, the Pokemon series, Fire Emblem. Have a look yourself though, there is a huge range of games, and there are some real hidden gems worth playing as well. I just got my copy of Okamiden, its in the to-do pile !

    Not a conversion of the Megadrive game either, I'd be looking to a conversion of the arcade game.

    Did you spend any money of shuffle? I've been tempted once or twice.

    Nope, I'd consider it a personal defeat to give money to any micro-transaction driven game. Of course I should really have considered it a personal defeat that I put 15 hours into it. Average play time was 8 minutes though which gives you an idea just how much it revolves around trying to get you to spend money.

    I'm playing away on Majora's Mask on my New 3DS and bugger me but its just brilliant.
    I am now further than I ever had gotten in the original and it's such a delight to play what feels to me like a brand new game.
