E Shop and Downloadables Discussion

They said that the Wii Sports Club games will be released when they are ready, so the bundle I'm hoping will materialise could be a way away yet. My game-dry November will prevent me picking them up but I will be glad to have a free day with the pair come December.

So, Toki Tori 1 this week is arriving for less than £2.
But, that's not all - buy buying it you also get 20% off the genius but criminally ignored sequel - Toki Tori 2+ (that's Toki Tori 2 with the new DLC included) - one of the cleverest games on Wii U.

Is that a limited time offer? If so I'll look at my funds, cry and dream of playing the Toki instead.

Toki Tori 2+ is no great shakes, in my opinion. It is very pretty but its lack of direction has proved frustrating.

Agreeing with that. I ended up using a guide a lot quicker than I should have had to, and having seen a decent amount of the game I don't think it would have been that rewarding or worth the effort without it. Two Tribes still haven't sent me a Steam key either.

This week

Wii U Virtual Console

Mega Man X2 £5.49

Children of Light demo. Looks a little bit gorgeous. I'm getting a Trine 2-but-better vibe from this one...

That battle system is similar to the one in Grandia 2.

I'll give EDGE a shot at that price, and I'm looking forward to that Lego Marvel demo too - I used to think the Lego games were sub-standard, but Lego City Undercover was absolutely ace and has given me a renewed hope for the series.

I urge people to give that Lost World demo a shot as well. Interesting game that, even a month on, I don't really know how I feel about it.

I should go for the demo., seeing as it was at one stage looking like the Galaxy 3 that SM3DW wasn't. Only problem: I haven't turned on my Wii U in ages, and I'm not sure whether I can be bothered!

Maybe over the weekend, having finished my writing. We'll see.

Have you not got Lego Marvel yet?  

We got it Friday at retail.

I'll be up for EDGE too. Got to get those Nintendo Points cards in!

What is this EDGE you speak of? Is it meant to be any good?

Bit pretentious, 3/10.

It's an isometric puzzle platformer where you control a cube. You have to roll the cube to the exit, collecting things along the way. It looks retro and, well, here's a video of someone playing it (the playing only kicks in at about 1:45): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCr0LrH2G20

Yes, looks a bit too old-school for me. But as you say, it's cheap...

Holy f***ing crap, is this a Mysterious Cities of Gold game? Like, the 80s cartoon Mysterious Cities of Gold?

*looks up*

Holy f***ing crap.

*looks up more*

Ah, I see they're crapping on the original by making a rehash of the cartoon. The new theme song remix is horrible. If you're not old enough to know what I'm on about, this is possibly the best intro to anything ever. So this is just a license then. Oh.

Nah....best intro has to go to G-Force and the battle of the planets.

I've spent a wee bit of time with EDGE, the latest game in the Two Tribes 'Classics' series. I'm impressed. It's quite difficult, and the controls aren't as precise with the Wii U's analog stick as it would be with, say, the N64's, but for a budget download I don't hesitate to recommend it to everybody.

Does it have any leaderboards ?

From a quick butchers at the main menu and the options, it doesn't appear to.

Didn't think it would. I'll probably still get it soon though....cheap enough eh.
