Why does Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess special edition cost 80 euro?  Isn't it just the game with the Midna riding Wolf-Link amiibo?  Am I missing something?

The Special Edition comes with the soundtrack as well.

In North America the soundtrack is a preorder bonus.

SUPER MARIO MAKER LEVELS:

  • SMB Mix-Up! (1AB2-0000-0047-5A7D)
  • Storm the Castle (77BD-0000-00E0-A9C0)

Thank you.  That's still a bit pricey even though that amiibo is rather handsome.  It's still just a plastic toy though and I will never listen to a soundtrack CD so that's no use for me either.  I'll wait to see if they announce a solus version for something like 40-50 euro.

Wow, so NLife is saying XCX is 300 hours long for everything and 120 hours of that is the main story.

I can't, I'm done with this stupid arms race to make the longest game ever. I'll pass for now.

Amazon seems to be selling the Amiibo edition of Splatoon for the normal price (40 euro).  I was briefly tempted.

The standard version is dirt cheap here.  I've seen it go for €34 without any discounts.

There's no way in hell the main storyline of Xenoblade 2 is 120 hours. This is like all the 25 hour adventure games back in the day claiming to be 60 hours long.

I'd say the story in XC was over 80 hours easily, so why would 120 hours be such a stretch?  Anyhow, story progression is gated behind specific requirements this time, so they can stretch it as far as they want just by messing with a few sliders.  I have high hopes for this, but I'm not liking a lot of what I've heard so far.

I have also stopped pre-ordering games, as I find I can just as well call around on release and pick up the game €10 cheaper than what the outlets who do take pre-orders charge, but man, I just saw that anyone who pre-ordered before the end of September would be given the chance to upgrade to a limited edition.  Sad  I'd have liked to have gotten the LE myself...

People at Gaf that played it said that the main story is a bit shorter that XC, but when you take the sidequest into account it is bigger than the original.

I beat Xenoblade in around 80 hours, and I did a lot of side stuff. Felt like I HAD to do side stuff though, just to be at a decent level to be able to finish the game.

Why is it Black? Your racism is showing, just like your Destiny expansion review.

The figure comes from a NintendoLife video feature, it's not Monolithsoft saying it.

If you completed XB Wii in 80 hrs you missed out on a ton of sidequests. Like... 30 hrs worth. Or more.

So I did this really cool looking level in BLOPS 2 with a flooded level following Michael Rooker. Graphics were great, atmosphere top notch.

But there was literally no gameplay. It felt like Dead Space Extraction minus the shooting. Like a tech demo. Why? COD keeps making these bone headed decisions to make the games a linear cinematic experience at the cost of genuinely good gameplay.

Black Friday is when stores expect to get a lot of customers preparing for Christmas and other holidays that their profits are in the black meaning that they are making tons of money.

If they are expected to lose money they would be in the red.

Thinking about it shouldn't Black Tuesday the day the Great Depression started be called Red Tuesday?

I'm not even sure if you're being serious or not.

SUPER MARIO MAKER LEVELS:

  • SMB Mix-Up! (1AB2-0000-0047-5A7D)

Of course I'm being serious, Vader's an out and out racist. LOL

P.S Wasn't being serious. Nyaa

I feel this sword could be bigger.
