Oh that makes sense since I had a wireless controller with the console so I must have bought the bundle. That VIP card was a fucking waste, carried it in my wallet for like 3 years :/

I dunno, I quite enjoy playing SMB, even started playing it again recently after succumbing and purchasing a pad for the first time ever for my PC. It is the best platforming game I have played since SMW.
I find it hard to get excited over a game like NSMB. I played the first one and while it was enjoyable enough, it just didn't offer up enough actual new content, plus Mario himself felt strangely odd and sluggish for some reason.
Am I allowed to hold that opinion Vince? Wouldn't want to step on your Nintendo fan boy toes.
You're allowed not to like the games. But the argument that there has been a glut of identical 2D Mario games in the past 6 years holds no water.
It actually did come in handy. As a thanks for buying it, Microsoft gave you free access to this.

Not sure how you got that assumption out of me taking the piss out of the new games ridiculous coin mode(s).

So the plan was to grab Mario from the Heidelberg JB after my appointment tomorrow, but apparently they don't have it because they're closing down in a week or so. Ball sacks.
So instead I'm heading into the city.

Anyone know of good deals for Borderlands 2 (PC) around the place?
I need it in my veins.

Green Man Gaming has it cheap and there's a discount voucher floating around.
4-pack on Steam is likely your best bet.
Oh wait, they bumped up the price. (for australians.)
Yeah I was totally thinking it.
I will put it this way, I have no interest in playing it.
Oh yeah it'll be fun for sure, it just won't be anything new at all.
Look at this level; looks like a fan game.

I saw that, but thought there might be something better going around!
I was hoping they'd have a $34 deal like other new release PC games have been.
To offer something to this thread: I recommend everyone hit up Driver San Francisco. It's ridiculously fun, and seriously overlooked.

Who cares! Everyone cool will be playing the amazing looking Rayman anyway. Keep Ubisofy onside Ninty, their WiiU stuff looks really promising.
Also yes San Fran was the best arcade racer this generation. Insane amounts of fun. Was a dollar yesterday on Uplay.

Does anyone know if the Wii U screen controller will have a long charging cable?
Battery life has killed my interest in both handhelds and the Wii U so far :/
edit:
and rayman seems more about chaotic multiplayer (and awesome style) than skillful platforming to me anyway. Much like LBP the controls become less important.
also hello ausgaf

Wii U GamePad is recharged by Micro USB I'm pretty sure.

Of the two, 3D Land is the fresher, more interesting take on the series.

Yup. Fuck activation.
wah wah wah, street breaks.
Its not this generation. MS threatened to bring down a massive pile of shit on any stores that street broke shit like halo 2 back in the day.

More fun than a ferret down your trousers?
In the case of dark souls, its probably not that different assuming you suck at the game.

Also, Dark Souls is awesome. Have you played it before Choc?

There was a TV ad that went along with it, a whole series of them.
They used to come on when I was watching Amazing.

Truly? I thought rodents and scrotums were only used in torture, Lebowski style.

Stupid computer. Picked up a 360 pad and it kept crashing games, randomly becoming unresponsive. Turns out he 360 driver installation somehow dug up otherwise uinstalled MotionJoy drivers, trying to hybridise the two.

Less then $400 and I'll consider it. Though only if there are glowing reviews.
I feel your pain. Mines in transit. I hate waiting.
3d land is great. Actually I'm selling my copy if your interested.
If his what is interested?

You'd expect that during that time, the Ferret struggled for an hour of two until it exhausted itself completely, fell asleep for a couple of hours and then restarted the attack on the scrotum with renewed vigor when it realised exactly where it was.
So, a Red 3DSXL is mine tomorrow, doing a trade deal with NSMB2 to get it. Works out at a decent price in any case.
Worth it for a decent form factor and at least ambassador status carries over.
I think Ive learnt a valuable lesson for future nintendo handhelds, but at the same time I hope they have too. In any case, I got to play Ocarina of Time and complete it so thats a good thing.
I'm thinking $500 is my limit, assuming it has a pack in game and wiimote/nunchuk included in the box. Since the Dreamcast launch I've gone and spent woeful amounts of money on hardware launches; its not something I'm proud of.
That said, this is my only console for the coming generation, so I may as well jump in headfirst, regardless of the sandbars lurking beneath the waves. I think I'm going to apply the following general purchase policy however (assuming the games are good and appealing to me):
* New Nintendo IP games buy day 1
* Third party ports at Zavvi prices
* New third party IP/exclusives based on GAF impressions, good and bad
* Third party niche games from Treasure/Platinum/Grasshopper etc on Day Fucking One
(Incidentally, Batman Arkham City on Wii U has all the content on the disc, no DLC codes. So I might grab that one cheap and second hand seeing as the local distributor/PR people are rude. Or import from Zavvi).
Really, I will be happy to see what else from the likes of the Mario Galaxy/Skyward Sword teams comes out. They were the three best games this gen for me, so much to do and see and so many new ideas in them it was like being spoilt over and over and over again.

I'd say by definition, the winner is the one who lets them out first and keeps their scrotum intact.

After 5 hours, the critter's prob settled down and nesting in the groin area
Congrats on the kid vks

Every Nintendo console launch since 2006 has had launch day bonus games bundled in by retailers. 3DS had stuff like Ghost Recon or Rabbids, 3DSXL has NSMB2 and MK7 and others. Wii had Super Monkey Ball and/or Red Steel bundled, plus lots of other bundles when big name games came out and the console was still $399. DSLite had bundles with Nintendogs/Brain Training too.
I'm expecting whatever the price of the system, it will be common to see it come with a free game. I wouldn't be surprised to see Wii U RRP for say $450, and a free copy of ZombiU or Rayman from places like Target and JB. If Nintendo Land is a pack in game, that will be a pretty impressive deal.
