Hello Games, probably could learn a thing or two from Yacht Club Games, in terms of support and communication.

Wow, that looks great - I've never played a Paper Mario game before and I imagine the Wii game (Super Paper Mario?) probably has aged a good bit by now, so I'm definitely going to pick this new one up at some stage!

Super Paper Mario is more a platformer, I think Colour Splash is more RPG similar to Thousand Year Door on Gamecube (or that's the impression I get).

According to some folks over in the Nintendo bargain thread Super Paper Mario can be got for a fiver in Tesco (if you can find it).

FTFY

"I think Colour Splash is more RPG similar to Thousand Year Door on Gamecube".

That's an insult to TTYD.

Thanks

It's probably not happening. I could see more DLC for an NX version of MK8 perhaps. Wii U is dead, has been for a long, long time. Nintendo have proper screwed over Wii U owners. We haven't had an original Wii U Zelda, we've had to wait ages for BOTW because of NX. Remember Pikmin 4 and how it was supposedly nearly finished? Where's that? NX most likely now. Next to no games for the past year and they've been mostly poor. Paper Mario: Colour Splash is cutting corners by using the Sticker Star template despite the hatred and using Toads as nearly every NPC.

Hmm.

Even if it comes out on NX, i'll just get it then.

Can't wait for that. Wii U was a bit limited in terms of releases in the past while, but i still love the yoke.

I love it too. I think it has good ideas that I hope return for NX but better implemented. I like having a second screen, it should now be 720p(1080p on TV). It'll now be able to leave the room without having to worry about the signal cutting out. Battery life should be better, well maybe. Add analogue triggers please. Have a proper OS from day 1. Do ye remember what the Wii U's was like? It was awful. Nintendo really botched the Wii U in so many ways. They weren't ready, really expensive for what it delivered, passed on further expense to the customer like buying a hard drive and a decent battery for the gamepad. Drought after drought, third party support pretty much gone within a year. Missing franchises and cookie-cutter games.

Apparently Paper Mario CS is available to play right now through pre loading in the US. That's quite funny.

The staff from Rare, never moving past the idea that all good characterisation needs to consist of is a decent set of googly eyeballs, attached to pretty much anything.

Someone made mention of it...needs to be posted!

This day has been coming for quite some time now, PS4 has now overtaken the Wii U in lifetime sales. With this weeks Media create sales released today, it now stands at 3,267,243 PS4's versus 3,265,329 Wii U's. This weeks hardware sales:

Hardware Sales (followed by last week’s sales)

PlayStation 4 – 49,652 (96,433)
New 3DS LL – 15,491 (15,808)
2DS – 14,492 (18,754)
PlayStation Vita – 9,817 (12,931)
New 3DS – 3,379 (3,047)
Wii U – 2,731 (2,703)

Poor Xbox One in Japan.
The owners of that format over there must be hipster to the max!

Am I the only one surprised 2DS sales are so high?

Why are the 3DS, 3DS XL, 2DS, n3DS and n3DS XL being treated as individual hardware platforms? Surely the only people who give a damn about individual figures are the eBay gougers waiting for the optimal moment to unleash their overpriced hoard of boxed special edition Animal Crossing XLs?

I mean, I only see PS3, not PS3 Slim, new PS3 etc.
Sure, PS4 would still be on top but it would much better reflect the gulf between Ninty and the Vita.

Nobody ever does, but somehow it happens...
If it keeps happening we'll never get rid of him!

So, anyone know if the bricks and mortar shops here are getting in the rerelease of Pikmin 3 and Fast Neo Racing?
