New Ninty Gets!

The US. Free from someone on a different forum, which was very nice, just had to pay the shipping.

Pac1Man

I'm growing fond of that polka dot spread I must say. Maybe it's the subconscious association with great Nintendo gets.

Thats how it starts :pac:
I'm actually annoyed though, cos this charger I bought from the rage that they assured me would work in a gameboy micro, shockingly doesn't fit the charger slot.

Yeah I have a similar issue, was told the ds lite one would work for the micro, but its unique. Got a usb one on the way at least.

Puzzle Bobble Galaxy!

Which reminds me, has any played Bubble Bobble Plus on Wii Ware, or is it atill available even to play via the Wii U ? As a coinop in many an arcade it sucked money straight from my pockets and I remember saving for ages to get it on tape for the Commodore 64.

CiDeRmAn

The charger is indeed particular to the micro.
Mine is an Australian charger for some reason, but works fine with an adapter.
A cracking little machine and an amazing crisp screen.
Oddly, its the faceplates that are hard to get, so if you come across a set or two buy em up!

cloud493

Aye, I'm lucky I just got a USB charger off eBay for less than 4 euro, but the rage ripped me off >.<

The faceplate on this one is a wee bit scratched, so a new one is next on the list.

How are you finding the Gamecube adapter? Might pick one up myself as there's no sign of the official one coming back into stock!

CiDeRmAn

I find it odd they don't patch Mario Kart 8 so it's compatible with that adapter.
Makes sense to me but there you go.
Maybe if they do a HD remaster of Mario Kart Double Dash in the future....

By the way, the dlc code is used in the eshop, not the games menu like is stated on the code leaflet.

I actually haven't tried it on the Wii-U yet as I don't have Smash Bros. I only really got it for future use tbh - in case Nintendo release some more games that support the GC controller or I find Smash Bros. at a cheaper price. Works fine on PC though! :pac:

I've an older version of their GC-PC adaptors, it only kinda worked, as it didn't recognise the input from the analogue triggers, only the click at the end.

Did they include drivers with this one? They might restore it to life for me!

No drivers included but it does mention there are some available if you want vibration support, it has a second USB cable for this also. Here's the back of the box:



I just plugged it straight in (using Win 8.1 64bit) and tested it on Giana Sisters in Steam.

Star Lord

Ah, sorry, just realized I had it the wrong way round, it recognised the analogue input, but not the 'click' at the end.

It was about time I added this to my 3DS library. Was gutted I missed it for a fiver :eek: in that Tesco sale madness last year and couldn't bring myself to pay full whack for it (even if it is my favourite console game of all time). Finally gave in bought it for €30 from CeX (next day delivery was a pleasant surprise!). Will pop it on the shelf for now as MH4U has my full attention. Happy out.

Got loads of gaming to get through before I even start these but ah well

Nice gets!

Lego Marvel is great, especially for multiplayer. Just remember, it's a pain in the arse to switch out from being the Hulk or Spiderman, because the button press you usually use to bring up the character select matrix is the same one to transform into Bruce Banner or Peter Parker. So let your kids / significant other / mates be Hulk and then laugh as you effortlessly switch from Dr. Doom to Johnny Storm.

Just had a horrible image flash into my mind as I typed Johnny Storm. Be glad you're not me...

Only noticed that afterwards, sorry for the neck exercises all....

Still though, I'm chuffed now. The eldest is just back from school and he's diving into Lego with gusto after playing the demo half to death.

Played a bit of Watchdogs last night and it's not that bad.

gubbie

I don't know which to put on first...



First ever amiibo though!

And I got Kirby 3ds for £15

edit: I think I need kirby plates...

CiDeRmAn

Kirby is simply fantastic
And the game is brilliant, you'll love it.
I picked it's soundtrack from Club Nintendo last year too!
