    Exactly what I imagined sadly.

      Several Wii channels shutting down shortly, nothing major but shows how quick to migrate they're willing to be

        Surprised they kept Everybody Votes going for as long as they did, to be honest. Ah well, as long as they don't shut the shop before I get round to buying La Mulana, they can get rid of whatever they like.

          Game & Wario scored a 31/40 [8/8/7/8] in Famitsu. Sounds more like Nintendo Land than a traditional WarioWare game. Given that there's not a lot of other things coming out to Wii U in the immediate future I'll pick this up if it makes it to PAL land. Really like the Japanese box art, hopefully a PAL release will bring that along with it...

                      I'm not surprised either. Nintendo have an artist's approach when it comes to deciding whether something is ready.

                      Have you even unpacked and played your Wii U yet?

                        Earthbound might very well be the first digital buy I make on my WiiU. If Nintendo deliver titles at E3 like the 3DS is getting we're gonna see another Ninty Xmas sales turnaround

                          Haha yeah, well, I returned the ?280 Black/32GB/Deluxe/Whatever one I ordered when Wind Waker HD was announced as I finally decided I'd rather have the more basic White one for interior design reasons. Also Amazon slashed the price on the Wii U about a week after I bought that so I finally picked up a White one at the weekend for ?189.99 and picked up Nintendo Land for ?18 after a tip off that my local CEX had been offering more for Wii Us than they were selling for online at launch and since they don't sell consoles with bundled games they had a pile of sealed Nintendo Lands in the back.

                          Loving it so far, I still haven't unsealed New Super Mario Bros. U, as I said before, I don't have that burning desire to play it considering I only 100% completed the Wii one last year BUT Nintendo Land is magnitudes better than I expected. I'm almost addicted to the re-imagined NES titles (Balloon Fight, Donkey Kong...) great how they even have that prickly 8-Bit learning curve haven't really ventured too far into it but the Octopus Dance game seems to be the only miss. I'm also getting really into Punch Out!! on the VC I'd always avoided it as I'm not a big sports/boxing fan but it's excellent, really challenging and strategic, maybe even one of my top 5 NES/Famicom titles. I like that the lack of stuff to play is actually making me perceiver with games, it's my first launch (well near enough?) console so with Wii and X360 I was always being really schizophrenic, bouncing around over 5 or 6 years of releases but now I'm just trying to limit myself to Wii U unless something truly amazing is out on 3DS or 360.

                          Just waiting to pick up Kirby Adventure, it's supposed to be out today isn't it? Anyone know what time the store updates?
