Wait... Lego City REQUIRES an external hard drive, even if you've got the 32GB WiiU? How big is the download?

Wait... Wat?

*reads PR*

Welp, I'm buying retail then.

 

[javac]

"Might?"

The game doesn't even look that good

 

[evilromero]

Downloading:
Lego City Undercover (reviews pushed me over the fence)
Chasing Aurora demo
Harmonyknights demo

Last I heard the reviews were pretty lukewarm. Did that change?

 

[Like the hat?]

Lego city
NFS
Luigis mansion
$150

Screw you, march. Thank goodness for my tax refund.

 

[Skiesofwonder]

Last I heard the reviews were pretty lukewarm. Did that change?

ONM: 9.2
Eurogamer: 9
Game Informer: 8.5
CVG: 8.2
Game Reactor: 8
IGN: 8
NintendoLife: 8
Metro: 7
Edge: 5

Outside of Edge, pretty solid reviews.

Aside from the Edge review, they have been in the 7-9 range.

Not my fault you have bad taste and/or are a grafix whore.

 

[EvilMario]

I didn't know LEGO City was launching at $49.99. All the sooner it'll reach the $20 bargain bin I guess.

A shame NFS:MW, LEGO City and Monster Hunter all have to launch at the same time, after a three month game drought. If spaced apart over the last few weeks, it would have been much more likely I would have thought about picking each up. Now all money must be devoted to my multiple copies of MonHan.

[evilromero]

Pretty much. I'm confused why so many people are buying NFS and Lego City at full price. Give it four full weeks and I can almost guarantee they'll be discounted on Amazon.

 

[EvilMario]

huh?

Like most LEGO titles, I don't expect its value to hold up very well after its release. By the holiday season, it'll be dirt cheap and we'll probably see some decent prices well before that too.

Even though Nintendo is the publisher?

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Does Lego City have a demo?

 

[Worthintendo]

I may be interested in Rayman Legends, if its $20 I'll bite, if not pass for me.

So Mega Man 3 and Harmoknight Demo until Monster Hunter next week anyway

 

[evilromero]

Even though Nintendo is the publisher?

Star Fox 64 3D is $19 fulfilled by Amazon. Paper Mario $32. And those are not just published by Nintendo but developed by them. Only their most popular games sustain price. Most of the games discount rapidly.

For me, it's because I want the eshop versions, so I might as well just buy them now.

Well we'll see.

 

[evilromero]

What do you have to lose by waiting a few weeks? Certainly not your time and money.

Oh I agree completely and only DAYONEBITCHES!!!! games that I am beyond excited for. I am curious about LCU and would like to try it at some point but am nowhere near keen enough to pay full retail price at launch!

2 Demos for Europe... Not bad, but it's a lame week compared to US.

 

[woo and indeed hoo]

That's just another reason to wait for me :P.

 

[woo and indeed hoo]

That's just another reason to wait for me .

Are they up yet do you know? I just tried a few minutes ago but my 3DS wouldn't connect.

EDIT: Well that went well! :x

Apologies for the double penetration.

RE-EDIT: Well it seems, according to the internet, so it must be right, that the emote I've been using for yonks to suggest annoyance i.e. :x is actually for 'Sealed lips or wearing braces'.

Joy. This day just gets better >:\ .

 

[zigg]

That's just another reason to wait for me .

I posted the wrong image originally. Oopsie.

 

[-GJ-]

Any news about HarmoKnight in Europe? I checked my pressemail and I didn't receive anything about it from Nintendo. Wikipedia also only shows 'March' as a releasedate.

 

[woo and indeed hoo]

Well a Lego figurine for early adopters is nice for those that care but not enough to inspire me to an early purchase.

 

[frankie_baby]

downloading the chasing aurora demo now

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Well it launches in NA on March 28th. There's only two Thursdays left in March, so there's not much room for variation. Though we did get Crashmo (well, Fallblox) a week earlier than NA.

 

[Glass Rebel]

I find it hard to believe that there are no VC games ready to be released on 3DS. I mean, come on.

Let's see how terrible Nintendo: Powerful Shippuden is.

 

[GulAtiCa]

You mean 26? Even then, that's by a 3rd party.

Anyways, when it comes to Lego City, I want to play it now, not wait a month

 

[serplux]

So...is there any reason why Square Enix/Activision don't release retail games on the eShop? (In America, I know SE has a few releases over in Japan).

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Wait... Lego City REQUIRES an external hard drive, even if you've got the 32GB WiiU? How big is the download?

Part of that 32 is taken up by other stuff. Someone said the download is 22GB.

Next week Target is having a B2G1 free on all video games.

Thanks.

Are you somehow involved in the production of Chasing Aurora?

Even if I had a Target nearby (they're rolling out this year in Canada), I doubt the Canadian shop would have the sale. :/

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Man, Europe gets fucked over again. This week's eShop lineup is pitiful. The first two and a half months of this year has been a total waste on 3DS.

okay all the games I most wanted are on eShop *tears* so happy

 

[SturokBGD]

Well, yeah, but I have over 22GB available. I guess the system needs to allocate space for both the download and the install or something like that, like the PS3 does. Not like that voodoo magic on the 360.

 

[Glass Rebel]

As expected, Powerful Shippuden is ass. The underlying mechanics are pretty solid but it's basically a single-screen single-plane beat'em up.

Just give me a new River City Ransom.

 

[zroid]

HarmoKnight demo still not up. Did Nintendo hire Grace Chen while I wasn't looking?

Well whenever it shows up, I'm gonna make a demo thread.


EDIT: okay, it's up. 459 blocks.

Any word on Star Wars Pinball?

 

[frankie_baby]

Any word on Star Wars Pinball?

i'd assume they want to give a bit of a window for the existing tables to sell before star wars overshadows them

 

[PhantomR]

okay all the games I most wanted are on eShop *tears* so happy

EXACTLY. Very pleased to see that as well.
