Thanks

Anyway, I picked up that Kung Fu Rabbits as it was on offer. Nice little platformer. My little boy loves it but I keep getting, "Dad, this level is really hard... Can you do it for me?" Cue 15 minutes of me getting ever more exasperated as I try and get through it.

I was wondering how others did it. I have no practical way of making it work.

Zelda WW £45 no chance should be £30 max but think I will be waiting a long time before it hits that price

It's under £40 if you look around already:

Excellent. Thanks.

I have a stand. I just can't stand it on anything.

Do you have a dining table?

[Not Thread Owner]

Yes. I'm not putting that in the lounge though.

Mario 3D World...

So transparent pipes is 3D Worlds' "thing".

Cloning yourself. Some sort of cannon hat. ?-block hat is back. Goomba's ice skate. Green stars.

It looks VERY nice, but still not the Mario 64-line of gaming I was hoping for

Nov 29th.

Wii Party U...

Put gamepad on the floor, and use Wii remote to scoop water out and pour it into the TV. Um.

Wii Party U on Oct 25th. With Wii remote and stand for gamepad.

Donkey Kong 2014. Apologies for delays... sigh.

Mario & Sonic at Sochi... pretty sure he just said online modes?!

[MaffewE]

i'd probably buy a wii u just to be able to play wii games on the pad. Alas, this doesn't appear to really be the case.

I'm not too bummed about DK being delayed as Mario looked so fucking awesome.

Does look VERY nice, yes. Saw the new trailer, and it looks like a melding of Super Mario 3D Land and the Galaxies. Or Super Mario 3D Land with some Galaxy goodness, if you prefer. As such, I'm very much looking forward to it. For the first time in a long while, I'm happy to be a Wii U owner.

Oh my, Mario looks brilliant!

Bit of a bummer it's out on PS4 day.

[DC Lemon]

Mario on the same day as PS4. This is not good. How is Christmas Day supposed to compete with that? Something has to give.

I'm going to queue up at midnight at Game and pick up a copy of Mario instead of a PS4

[Epcotman]

At least you'll be playing in 60fps! I forgot about the Direct. Anything else good shown?

All that stuff I just posted about.

[DarhkFox]

Mario looks pretty decent although nothing too amazing.

What is kinda good is that some stages look simular to the Mario 64 bowser stages which i loved to bits.

[tommygun]

Mario looks like it has a NSMB style map that shows miniature levels instead of dots.

[Professor Puzzles]

Ooh, I spotted a trundling tanks level a-la Super Mario Bros 3 in that video.

Can you deny all knowledge of the PS4 at the till?

All knowledge of what?

[rgraves]

That new Mario looks awesome. Was it ever in any doubt though? Have they ever produced a duff 3D Mario?

Perfect, this means I will actually have a game I want to play on the day my PS4 arrives.
