With the selection of games released so far, those announced at E3 and some inevitable titles not yet mentioned (I'm thinking maybe F-Zero, Metroid) - the Wii-U will have easily been a worthwhile purchase. For everything else there's PC or PlayStation.

    Poor Xbox One :(

    This is very true. You don't buy a Nintendo console these days to play Black Ops, or FIFA, or the latest AAA games...you buy it because of what it has to offer that's offered nowhere else. As you rightly point out, for everything else, there's the other consoles/pc

    Zelda: ALBW has me utterly hooked on my 3DS XL. Picked up Kokuga too for €14.99, cheaper alternative to a 3DS LL I guess.

    I've not been this wedged in to the Nintendo fan camp for decades. Feels great. Just need a Wii U at some stage. :)

    Have to say a huge tanks to Sera for introducing me to this wonder!

    Is the right DVD cover pixelated over a character in the game?

    Wonder how a DVD game works

    Haha yeah! I think it might be the Gorilla in the video above to keep it a surprise for people?

    Or else its just a character made up of pixels, wouldn't surprise me in Japan!

    Doubt its anything to do with those other videos the Japanese are known to pixelate! ;)

    Its basically like a betting game, they show each horse at the start walking around with its number on screen.
    You just choose the horse you think that will win and watch the race.


    Its all pre-recorded.

    And I have none :(

    Congrats on the purchase though, hope you have lots of big robot stompy fun.
    Don't forget to eject though!
    Otherwise your save gets wiped.
    Also, it has a mod detection function, so the game will only work on an unmodified Xbox or one with a modchip that can be switched off.

    Nabbed this in Argos there. I already have it in the big box collectors edition, but that's still sealed (I don't collect sealed games normally but if it's lasted this long, & I can leave it sealed for €12, so be it! :o) so this can be my disc copy. I think I reserved the last Solatorobo in Dublin this morning, won't get to it until tomorrow though.

    There must be nothing hotter than watching your lady bringing her mechs into battle, operating that beast of a controller.

    Damn you Retr0!

    Steady on.
    Retr0 does not "own" Sera.
    She is therefore not his "lady".
    This is the 21st century for globs sake!

    If anything, Retr0 is Sera's lady, and fully owned as well, he has the dress to prove it.
    If someone would like to dig out the appropriate jpg please...
    I reckon he's happier that way....
    Sera being a benevolent tyrant... As opposed to Sauron...

    Wahtish! So very true, I'm sure he's happy for me to be the boss because I'm the most kawaii uguu :p

    I picked up a bubble bobble bootleg for €50 inc delivery, adapter the other week, I was a little disappointed with the surface rust on it, and it was only booting, game wouldn't start. After a good scrub with isopropanol and 5 new roms, 3 of which I used redux I now have a 100% working Bubble bobble again

    Aside from Robotron it's the one dedicated cab I'd love to own.
    Would it be criminal to turn my candy into such a thing?
    Might get more play then!

    I don't see this leaving the cabinet for a while, I love it, you could say I'm obsessed, a little out of practice though as I couldn't even get a million last night after 3 tries, it plays perfectly.
    Now to fix my Taito BB board, then that Tetris I picked up from Urban.

    A visit to Gamestop and Argos yielded these chaps. Looking forward to seeing what Lego City is like, I watched CGR Undertow's review and it seemed good. Kirby is great from what I remember.

    So, I too was driven to buy gaming goodness in Argos, for me it was Dragon Quest VI which will sit beside DQV and IX, also for the DS.
    I then picked up a nice new shiny copy of Inazuma 11, no chance I'll ever play it but it's a nice thing to have anyways, and a steal.

    Today's gets. Waveform's contribution is on the top right in the form of a gameboy game.

    Picked this all up for a surprisingly well haggled price from the rage.

    There was a new guy in there that really seemed to know his stuff. Didn't catch his name but a pleasure to talk to.

    You really should, it's a very good game. Finished it a week or so ago and am looking forward to jumping into the supposedly superior sequels.

    Are the Dragon Quest games any use?

    Yes they are. Dragon quest V is one of the finest RPGs ever and 4 and 6 are better than anything the final fantasy series has done. Dq9 is excellent as are the two joker games.

    Dragon Quest 8 is simply amazing, Journey of the Cursed King, a beautiful game to look at answer play. And on the PS2.
    Rogue Galaxy is from the same team but apparently not as good as the DQ titles it loves.

    Rogue Galaxy just gets very dull quickly and is full of padding. It feels like ni no Kuni except ni no Kuni is much worse in that regard.
