    10-4. I'm putting NFS: MWU to rest four days early. I only have some minor collection-type things to do now anyway. I'm hoping to get better at S&P2 than I am at Panzer Dragoon II Zwei, and Silent Scope 2. ?18 well spent.
    Kept you waiting, huh?

      For example even with a 32GB model you still need an external HDD for the eShop version of Lego as its something like 25GB in size and the you get less than that on the 32GB model anyway.
      32GB is nowhere near enough if you plan on getting into the forthcoming VC. I've got a Panasonic Class 10 32GB SHDC for Wii mode, and my Buffalo DriveStation HD 2TB HDD hooked up for everything else. I'm keeping the internal 32GB for updates and apps only, Netflix and LOVEFiLM etc.

        2TB just for the WiiU ... Probably a little overkill I would have thought unless you are planning to buy everything from the eShop ...

        Yeah I agree though internal really is only useful for apps, and maybe a couple of the smaller eShop titles. Otherwise external HDD all the way. 500GB should be easily enough though.

          HMM had them on shelf for ?249.99 yesterday in my local.

            Looking forward to tomorrow, a new Sly game but also Lego City hits PAL shores! My first WiiU game since the launch line up and my last for pretty much a solid month as there isn't much out after it of worth.

              I had the 2TB left over from my Sony clearance. It seemed foolish not to use that over buying a new smaller-capacity unit. Seeing as no shops actually seem to stock Wii U software, it may be perfect for the job of D/Ling every game I'm ever likely to buy.

                Aliens: Colonial Marines for Wii U canceled

                Gearbox's critically-panned Aliens: Colonial Marines will no longer see release on Wii U. A port for Nintendo's HD console was originally supposed to release in March, but Sega has finally confirmed that it is no longer happening

                A sad day.

                  Not really surprised.

                    Given Sega supposedly plans Aliens to be a key partbof their franchise strategy they really need to sit down and carefully plan their next step.... oh, and make Virtua Fighter 6 already, lazy bums

                      Probably GOOD news to be fair. From what i've played, it's obviously quite a poor game. Wii U isnt missing this.

                      On a brighter note, it's really nice to see sales picking up. It was always going to happen, and still isnt nearly enough to be shouting about, but still, it's nice.

                        A while back this was the game that was going to get me to buy a wiiu.

                        The game is tarnished now though so it seems right to cancel the Wiiu version.

                          My brother managed to picked up a Wii U Premium last week from HMV for ?199.

                          Being enjoying what I played so far, picked up Nano Assault Neo which is a solid little shooter

                          Also been playing, Tank! Tank! Tank! which is a solid arcade shooter and ZombiU which is a zombie game that I don't hate, has the right amount of tension.

                          Nintendo Land is a bit of a mixed bag, average at best. Metroid & Zelda games are by far the best.

                            I'm playing Walking Dead Survival Instinct and enjoying more than Colonial Marines... that's how much the WiiU has been spared
