Three games at E3 that have more of a history than you think:

There's definitely World of Tanks DNA in there as well. You know, because of the tanks.

Question: Why the fuck is Wind Waker so expensive? I'm compiling a list of games I want to get when I pick up a Wii. So far I have:

• Metroid Prime
• Mario Power Tennis
• Mario Kart: Double Dash
• The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker
• Super Mario Galaxy
• Super Mario Galaxy 2
• Mario Kart Wii
• Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Apparently I'll need a Gamecube memory card as well? I was thinking of picking up a Wavebird but I think I'd rather have a wired controller which vibrates. Any advice?

 

[Lee]

You will need a GCN memory card for GCN games.

In Game you can get an unofficial wirless controller that vibrates. I just use it plugged in.

I'll post my GCN collection on here if you want.

 

[Uncle Sam]

May as well just go for one of them fine lookin' black ones then. Shame you can't get transparent ones like they did for the N64. Cheers.

 

[Lee]

Also I'll post my Wii collection.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Sounds good. I don't want to go too overboard. How much I buy depends on how much money I spend in Amsterdam.

You got Twilight Princess for the Gamecube? I genuinely forgot that version even existed until just now. XIII and Viewtiful Joe are the ones which jump out at me most, though I suspect they might be something approaching collector's items these days.

That's quite the collection. You also reminded me of this:

Both XIII and Viewtiful Joe are common and cheap, CEX is your friend.

No I don't have the GC version, I did have but it was stolen.

I forgot I had left out on the list Mario Baseball.

 

[Lee]

I think you'd like Bit.Trip though you can get if for 3DS as well, very cheap.

 

[Lee]

I've never played a Castlevania game.

 

[Spunky]

I've never played a Castlevania game.

 

[Lee]

Well I have Kid Dracula.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Lee! If you haven't bought Mario Tennis Open already, allow me to stay your hand. Or unstay your hand, I suppose. £15 for it and a Mario 3DS stand on Gamestop.co.uk:

[Lee]

I've already got it however I've been trying to find that stand for a while.

 

[Ming]

Although I wanted one when I was younger, I too have never played a Castlevania game.

There's going to be a Tekken Tag Tournament 2? I still have the first for PS2, it's my favourite Tekken game.

 

[Stormtrooper]

Yes there is, and it'll be awesome. Why, you ask? Well Snoop Dogg is in the game as an NPC (he did a song/video and has a stage based on him and his likeness).

Snoop Dogg in a fighting game? Automatically awesome right there.

 

[Spunky]

Guys, I implore you to look up Tokyo Jungle.

You will not believe your eyes.

 

[Lee]

Oooh looks good Spunky.



In other news Mutant Mudds hits 3DS in Europe on Thursday. Oh yeah!

So a document was recently released (and unverified) regarding the next generation of the Xbox. It reports still such as a $299 price point, a Kinect 2.0 that supports up to four players, and most surprising (for my two cents) glasses that provide you an augmented reality HUD system.

I'm not sure if I'd be down for wearing the glasses while playing, but the concept seems really cool to me.

 

[Lee]

So Mario Galaxy, good game eh?

 

[Uncle Sam]

I think my Wii is broken, or at least it has a serious aversion to not breaking after having Smash Bros. played on it for more than ten minutes. How am I meant to unlock characters like this? FUCKING COMPUTER EXCHANGE!
