    Release date was just thrown out the window by Nintendo it seems, lots of places started selling it.

    To be fair, 2nd Jan was a pretty weird release date.

    I wonder how many sales of games and consoles were lost by not having a more logical pre Christmas launch date in the first place.
    I imagine a not insignificant percentage of sales tbh.
    A decent ad campaign and a keenly priced bundle with Captain Toad, a new IP no less, could have sold very well indeed, particularly to a younger crowd.
    Ah well.

    Is it any use? Good for an adult or is it just aimed at kids?

    I just picked up P.N03 for the Gamecube in CEX Santry.
    Pretty happy to come across it, it's not super expensive on Ebay, around €15, but I never see it in bricks and mortar shops and this one was only €6 as well.
    I never owned the first time around and it's part of the exclusive Capcom series of titles made for the GC, that was until they ported several of them to the PS2 and elsewhere, Resident Evil 4, Killer 7 and Viewtiful Joe being the others, while P.N.03 remained exclusive.

    I loved the rhythm action play of the game, Perry sure I still have it kicking around here somewhere.

    Love it! Is the charger different with the new 3ds? Looks like a stand. How much was it? How does it feel in your hands after a bit of gaming? Does it seem much faster?

    Went on a bit of a spree over the last couple of months. Should keep me going for a while. 3D World is just incredible. It kept me wide-eyed to the very end.

    Picked up Kirby's Epic Yarn in Argos this morning for 4.99.
    Popped into CEX on my way out of town and wasn't expecting much to be had as the last day when I was in they had a sparse selection of Nintendo stuff.
    I wasn't suoprised today either as they only had around 20 Wii games and 4 WiiU games and a few DS and a load of over-priced 3DS stuff - 48 euro for Smash Bros on 3DS!
    I did get something though, picked up Tales of Symphonia on Wii for a tenner.
    So all in all a good morning for Wii stuff with two games for under 15 euro.

    If you really like Nights I can recommend the Saturn original and the PS2 remake as well, I have the two and the PS2 one is amazing.

    Eh, I like it, but not enough to fork out for a saturn. I believe its been ported to PS3 now anyways.
