it's pretty damn good if you're into that sorta thing
It's decent. Like apparently a lot of others in this thread I played it with a group who likes Horror games / choose your own adventure-style games. It's like watching a B-tier horror movie that you can influence.

Let's hope for cyber Monday Amazon deal like last year then. 30% can still happen!No NX until March 2017 is fine but no NX at E3 kills any software announcements and the ability to apply 30% off E3 promo.
Now we'll have to settle for potential 20% off one offs.
I still have my BestBuy order for 45 bucks, so I'm definitely keeping that one.
Same here. I may try to exchange it for the NX version after if I end up getting that. But right now, I think the NX is a pass for me. I'm going to wait a few years and get it when there's a bunch of games I want, or Wonderful 102.
I don't really care about graphical improvements or fancy shiny new tech. I do care about my money though. So I'm keeping my cheaper Wii U order.
I probably won't get NX right away anyway. I still haven't moved on to PS4/XBO since there aren't enough games I'm particularly interested in yet.

me too. my order of inferior versions lives on (Zelda and Persona 5)

It renders the Wii U utterly useless to me, so I'll be getting rid of this thing as soon as possible and just go for the NX version.
I'm keeping the Wii U order for now, but I couldn't really tell you why. Assuming they launch at the same time, I'll 100% be getting the NX version.

There's always the possibility of a 30% off promo around Christmas.

@the guys disscusses what plat to get the next Zelda on, take this with a grain of salt.
The Gamecube version of Twilight Princess is in way more demand by collectors. Its around $55-$60 while the wii version is $10~

There's so many sweet xbo&ps4 games coming this year not even thinking about anything else. Past year Ratchet, ROTR, Grav rush, sunset O, KI, Puyo puyo Tetris, Forzas and Ori have been so much fun. Amazing gen so far, exclusives have been great.
Small deal: get 1 free movie for signing up and completing your profile with the Atom app for iOS and Android.
Major catch is it doesn't work for Cineplex. I'm not sure about other chains, but I was only able to get tickets from Landmark Cinemas.

I also looked up getting tickets for Civil War, and the app offered me a dollar off my ticket too.
Not sure if that's also a one-time thing. Pretty neat in any case.

This will be my second consecutive year of not pre-ordering anything. Honestly, I don't know if I would have pre-ordered NX games anyway because I just don't have enough faith in Nintendo anymore to risk being an early adopter again.

You don't risk much considering most Nintendo first party remain full price their full life period (Mario 64 DS, please...)

The Wii version got a Nintendo Selects re-release.
Fun fact: since our dollar is low it's now $24.99 instead of $19.99.

'tis true. And baseball team, it seems.
It was nervewracking at the end of the season, as I worried the Leafs wouldn't finish last and would screw things up as per usual. But they did 'well' and will hopefully get the lottery pick.
If not, I'll be pissed.
But I've had other, more important/awful things to deal with that I've been trying to cope with.
The closest Landmark is 30 minutes from me, but this is awfully tempting.
Thanks for the heads up. Looks like I'm seeing Captain America on Friday rather than Tuesday.

Nintendo is obviously delaying the NX to give our loonie more time to catch up to the USD... Yes... That has to be it...
Goddamn, you got Civil War tickets to show up? I couldn't get it to show up on the ticket selection screen for the free ticket offer.
Games and their prices not being "formally" announced has not stopped Best Buy and the like from listing them before. I would argue Zelda NX is more formal than plenty of other games, it actually has a release date (month), and was posted by the official Nintendo of America twitter.
Yep. I'm in BC, ordering tickets from the New West theatre if that matters.

Yeah
Either they didn't offer it up for me yesterday, or I scrolled right past it. I ended up getting a ticket to Keanu for tomorrow.
HMMMMMMM.
But for real, I actually like my local Landmark Cinema. It's a little nicer than the Cineplex nearby, and while it does get crowded, it's a pretty big building that it accommodates a ton of people.

I prefer Cineplex, but Landmark is good. They took over the old AMC/Empire in Whitby.
I'm tempted to drive there just for the free movie.

Good point.
I mentioned the Atom thing about a week back, it's a really cool app. I'm liking the discount on ticket prices, it isn't as massive a price hike between them and Cineplex now, which is nice since I live around the corner from a massive Landmark cinema.
Civil War IMAX for $16.50 is better than $17.25!

I've had the app for more than two weeks now, but have only browsed it.
Deal's not bad at all. It's close enough to me to go to. lol
Zroid makes a point about gas though. If you're 30 minutes away from it, I don't know.
It's not the game prices I'm worried about, but the price of the system I'm committing to buy if I pre-order. I already got fooled into buying a Wii U only to have it go on sale for $100 less within a year with better bundled games (and nothing much worth playing that first year due to delays anyway). Then to have it basically be ditched at last E3 before ever hitting its stride and more game delays makes me worry the same thing will happen with the NX. I'm not sure it's worth immediately jumping on board to pay hundreds of dollars for the next potential failure.
