Good luck! Fingers crossed everything works out.
Nice, hope the whole moving/relocating deal goes smoothly!
So, AusGAF. A minor celebrity posts among you, for I am he who tipped the Shenmue 3 KS over the $2m mark:
Wow, you must really hate Tony Abbott. And love Jeb Bush.
Oh god, that needs to be a thread title.

so very minor
Now everyone remembers how dull Shenmue actually was.
Yooka Laylee's KS finishes in a few hours and they JUST hit 2 million.

Not every Kickstarter can shenmove as quickly as that one.

yes, to be perfectly honest, Shanemue, Yooka Laylee is far more my style of game than Shenmue so I backed that instead and upped my pledge tonight to get the soundtrack.

Jurassic World was surprisingly good.

America is OK but it's full of Bernbaums.

That's pretty awesome. The only jobs I ever get offered these days seem to be in places without any paved roads or Internet access, so Texas seems like a huge step up.
Also, Americans love Aussie accents, so you'll have that going for you.

Yes it was, and Yoshi was pushed back further than I'd have liked.

Yoshi is adorable and Super Mario Maker looks cool and Xenoblade could be neat but it was largely all release dates for stuff we've seen before. In terms of newly shown stuff really only the Mario and Luigi x Paper Mario game was interesting. Even as a big Animal Crossing fan I have no interest in the dedicated house design thing or Animal Crossing Party - Amiibo Edition.
Well, I guess ZeldaFour Three Swords: Crossdressing Edition could be neat, and Star Fox was fairly Star Fox looking.
Kinda telling that the most exciting thing Nintendo had this year was a 20 year old NES rom dump, and they didn't even save it for the main thing.
That's the US date. It's due out here in like a week.
Well, I guess Zelda

Yeah, gotta say the Nintendo thing didn't have has much 'boom' as the other shows. I was probably getting yoshi and Mario maker anyway. I guess Zelda is going straight to the NX.

lol wut. Why does the US have a different date to EU? I never understand that. Should be day and date these days.
Nintendo's conference was pretty dire. I mean I understand it to a certain degree, the Wii U is a dead platform. There's no point throwing heaps of money into development of games that could be used to sell your next console instead, one that has a chance to create a sustainable and healthy environment.
But there's so many things they could be doing appease their current audience that would require barely any resources (relatively speaking) and would make it less obvious they've given up on the platform. Their Virtual Console strategy is horrendous. They released one HD remaster to great success and then didn't bother doing any more even though it's an obvious way to plug holes in a line up. Why can't I buy GCN games yet and play them on the GamePad?
I wish it was possible to replace Iwata with someone who understood all this stuff, but still allowed Nintendo to keep it's development culture and make the same type of games. Because the fear is if you replace Iwata, you're more likely to get someone who won't just go down the mobile path like Nintendo are doing, but go down full force into F2P garbage. Imagine needing to wait 2 hours for that pokeball to finish capturing, but if you pay $5 it can happen immediately!

PC Gaming Press Conference starting in 10 or so.
Apparently 2 hours long?

Apparently emulation of Shenmue works just fine on PC. Just in case you were wondering.
I'm not expecting much from it but will watch. Of course, you can join IRC and join the small number of us watching it if you wanted to
I didn't really get mine on special, but I've still played a ton of good games on it so I can't complain about the thing. The presentation though, that I can complain about. I mean I get why they have so little to show but they've announced so much stuff earlier this year they could've held off on.

Yeah it's been a damn good Mario Kart machine, although I could have just used the Wii for that but it was making my eyes sore with how rough it looks on a big TV. MK8 is smooth and delicious as fuck on the eyes
Already in steam, Dunno where else to go!

Yeah man, I've got a DC with about a billion games (including Shenmue) that I've been looking to sell. I could chuck in an Xbox copy of Shenmue 2 for good measure!
I don't need them, but I've been itching to spruce up my DC collection. I'm too disorganised with mine

Me too! For that price, no complaints. If I'd paid full price for a Wii U I'd be pretty pissed. Bascially the console is done after 3 years. Yeesh.
I thought SM 3D World was a let down. It was good... but I wanted it to be fantastic. Meh.

MK Wii was a turd. It seemed totally half baked to me from day 1. MK8, though, continues to provide me with many hours of enjoyment.
Highly personal reasons for me. My four year old son is hooked on it, I reckon we've played nearly 100 hours. The way the co op works is just perfect for letting a kid play along when they want, and just bubble and follow along when they want, and use the touch screen to help daddy get past a part. He's gone from not really knowing how to play, to being able to finish a few of the first levels on his own. The co-op implementation shits all over the 2D Mario's, and I really can't think of a similar game that has such a good co op.
3D Mario is probably my favourite "series" of all time, but I've never bothered to 100% one. We're really close with this one, just a few more worlds to do with all the characters, and of course Champions Road. I don't know if we'll ever actually beat it, but it's been one hell of a ride.
So my reasons aren't entirely objective, but fuck objective. Game is awesome.

Congrats! Its a bit of a backwards state, but its pretty cool. Which city?
I find the kickstarter for shenmue 3 a bit ridiculous. There should have been enough hype for that game over the past 10 years to get actual funding and backing from a major studio. Meh, not like I'll play it anyway.

That sounds amazing! In your position I'd no doubt feel the same.

I don't know anything about the Nintendo conference and I am glad that this gif exists.
I hate MK Wii but I've never been able to nail down why. Something about the way it looks and feels is just awful. Also I've always had this suspicion that 12-player was a late addition because it doesn't seem like the item table adjustments weren't thought out well at all.

Yeah spot on. I really dislike playing MKWii, feels like shit and looks like shit.
I also hate NSMB1, NSMBU feels much more 'fair' and balanced for some reason to me.
Sounds like Knack and my son! We've up in 100 hours easily and keep restarting the game before we get to the end because he likes the first few levels the most lol
It's a bit complex due to SEGA owning the IP and it requiring a HUGEEEE budget. It's really hard to judge how well it will do so the Kickstarter is similar to the Iga thing but more complex due to involving paying SEGA a bunch of money for use of the IP.
No shit, this looks fucking amazing: Transformers Devastation
