I love platform games and Yoshi's Wooly World is right up my street. I'm looking forward to getting mine this Thursday. 

Lucky!

 

We have to wait until October in NA. So, this will tide me over.....

I got the screw drivers from Amazon which are in the link below. Supposedly they are meant to be specific screw drivers to open up Nintendo consoles. I tried using them to open up the back of my New Nintendo 3DS XL so I could swap out the memory card for a big one but they don't seem to work.

I didn't want to force them in case I damaged the screws or the 3DS XL itself. Anyone know if they are actually the right screw drivers and which one of them is appropriate or point me to one on Amazon's UK site that is. So far I've not been able to setup or use my new console as I've not been able to replace the memory card.

There's your problem. You need a #0 cross-head (aka Phillips) and the kit you bought contains a #00 Phillips. Just go to your local hardware store, or even dollar store.

Amazon.fr still has version available

Not worth a retail release? Why not?

 

It's will be available in eshop I am sure but it's also getting disc release. 

 

Why wasn't NSLU worth a retail release?

 

Here we have a NEW GAME (Starring Toad!) which has a chance to be very charming, and challenging, and be different then your normal plat-former yet people don't want it to be a retail release.

 

I'm sure the argument will be, it should be DLC for SM3DW or that it's just rehashed assests and it doesn't warrant a full title since the concept came from SM3DW.

 

Enjoy your yearly AssCreed and CODs.

 

Additionally, we do not even know the full retail price of this yet. Place holders are generic at 59.99 on Amazon, DKCTF was 49.99. Either way, I think it's worth it.

 

Also to note: 

 

The assets (trailer, screenshots) are all in 1080, which Nintendo only does when the game is rendering in 1080

 

PS+ is $10 cheaper and gives you free games that you usually can't get for less than $10 in a GameStop bargain bin.

 

You don't get free games, you pay £39.99 a year to download certain games to play for the duration of your subscription, you are essentially renting these games. I'm not knocking the service, I just find it baffling that people defend Sony's PS+ subscription while slating Microsoft's Xbox Live subscription.

Microsoft did mess up with the reveal and then the E3 conference, Don Mattrick and Adam #dealwithit Orth's attitude to gamer backlash was incredible and while I never had any issues with any of Microsoft's policies, I can understand why many people did. Mattrick saying "People can play their 360's" when asked about people who do not game online or do not have access to the Internet showed an individual who was out of touch with over 35million+ 360 users who didn't have Xbox Live membership at the time.

 

That said Microsoft deserve some credit for changing their stance, some say it was due to consumer back lash and poor preorder sales, but whatever it was, Microsoft altered all of their policies bar the Kinect 2.0 being mandatory which I do not agree with much in the same way I don't agree with the Wii U gamepad being a mandatory accessory.

 

As for Microsoft's communication being mixed up? I disagree entirely, they've always said that the Xbox One is an entertainment box, not a console. It's a media box that plays games. You'd have to be as thick as two short planks not to understand this as Microsoft have beaten the horse to death over this issue in recent months.

 

People worry about the Kinect camera, yet these people share their information with corporations when they sign up for loyalty cards, when they post their personal details on websites like Facebook and Twitter. People blame Microsoft for the NSA and GCHQ using their device as a monitoring tool, yet it's entirely possible that this is done without Microsoft's knowledge or consent. After all the US Government under George Dubya spied on British citizens without consent of the British Government, so who is to say the NSA isn't monitoring you irrespective of you having a Kinect? You can't be that naive surely?

 

Also you don't need to use the Kinect, you can unplug it and use the controller to navigate through the Xbox One's interface.

 

Where I do understand gamers anger with the Xbox One is over the resolutions and graphics. Microsoft should have ensured that their console could match Sony's PS4 in terms of resolution because you can tell the difference between 720p and 1080p, that's not to say that games at 720p won't look great, Bayonetta 2 is a shining example of this, but the Xbox One has been touted like the PS4 as a titan of a device, yet the Xbox One cannot muster 1080p in most games and the PS4 at times is having problems obtaining 60fps, yet nothing is said about that.

 

The Xbox One was designed based on the activities of 360 users, Microsoft's data collection apparently showed that 360 users spent more times doing non-gaming activities i.e. listening to music, chatting to friends, watching movies, so that's where they got the idea for this all-in-one Xbox One, a nice idea in theory, but the execution hasn't been brilliant, but I do commend Microsoft for being ambitious enough to change what was arguably a winning formula with the 360 in the eyes of many gamers.

. But my main problem is Gold Live, its just a money grabber. Atleast with the one they made it sharable, but yeh.

 

Do you have a problem with PS+?

Remember when the Wii Wheel was a good idea and everyone used it?

 

Yeah, me neither. 

 

You'd be surprised at how many actually do use it... just like many use wii mote pointer controls in COD games... more than you think.

my wife came back from shopping today with a late xmas prezzie and guess what it was lol yep knack,i have played up to chapter 3 and im LOVING it so far,its fun and addictive,it should of gotten a much higher score than the 4s and 5s it received,i didnt think it was going to be my cup of tea but i found myself not wanting to turn it off lol it does have simple mechanics but its quite a hard game...

 

if anyone is thinking of trying it then do so,its fun and worth a 7/8 out of 10 imo

I agree with you. A 7 in some areas, a 5 in others, and a 10 in a few. This is a solid 7 game. 

 

I wish they had more time for optimization, and I hope they get to make a sequel with some creative freedom. Outside of a few collision detection issues (some weird stuff and some gameplay oriented things that disrupted flow), it was a great concept. 

 

Personally, I would like to see them abandon the idea of this being a gateway for non-gamers, and focus on just the pure mechanics. I think this split-focus added to a majority of the games' problems.

up to chapter 5 now and still enjoying it

Tbh, he is just saying the truth. And I agree with him.

50 inch to 65 the new set dwarfs the old 1.

I don't see what the big deal is. I love it. Doing a second playthrough already. I rarely get framerate drops.

we were never entitled to an ambassador program with the 3DS. People have turned into such spoiled brats

All the hate the 2DS is getting is so perfectly ignorant.

You don't have to buy one. It's another option, not an upgrade.

While people are laughing about how silly the 2DS looks, Nintendo will be laughing all the way to the bank.

I dont get the hate....unless everyone complaining about is are butthurt 6 year olds 

 

Its marketed at a demographic that likes anything shiny

 

Its bulky and flat so that when they throw it or drop it or flail around with it in their hands its not gonna snap in half...

 

Plus bonus points for not causing seizures to the targeted age group

 

Its a genius idea for what it is
