Yeah I really like the look of it

Well you would.

Yeah the game means well and is a really cool mix of documentary and game, but in the second half of the game it just breaks. Massive shame.

Yeah, I watched a playthrough of Never Alone, and the folk playing through it had the same issues as mentioned by Andy and Mas. A shame, considering the game is gorgeous and they're really faithful to Inuit culture throughout.

I never said there was any issues, I enjoyed it.

The basic puzzle platformerness is decent for a while but quickly becomes buggy/enfuriatingly shit.

you did though.

Anyhow there are lots of other great looking e shop games coming soon, the big one for me being Affordable space adventures on 9th April.

Here's the rest of the list: http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2015/03/nintendo_announces_fresh_release_details_on_a_host_of_exciting_eshop_games

I was quoting Andy.

I put my thoughts then wrote Andy wasn't etc .

I though it was pretty clear.

But yeah some good stuff coming.

Ahh sorry about that it just wasn't that clear to me, some form of quote marks or even the forum quote box would have helped.

That looks so pretty. For some reason I thought it was a wolf.

Okami - Okami - Okami....

I sorta wanna get Never Alone, because of its educational backstory - almost investing in the people involved. But it's either going to be sad (which I'm guessing) or I'll get pissed off at the slight borkedness (which every review and comment apart from Mas' seems to suggest is an issue). Ah fuck it, I'll get it when it comes out, and regret it afterwards. I'm not going to be able to play it until 2016 anyway. (in fact, 2017 if Zelda comes out).

I just I liked the game, and what it wants to try and do. It's nothing special in terms of a puzzle platformer it's just passable in that respect.

I'm still not sure what issue it has though as I never had any whilst playing it.

In the playthrough I watched, the second half of the game had a lot of finicky and broken platforming.

Really all seemed fine to me.

Shantae and the Pirate's Curse £11.99, Might be worth a go now at this price

Zero Mission! Stu and I had a Twitter discussion about this a few weeks ago: the only Metroid I've never played. On this like Mario on cake.

I might have to recommend the original Mighty Switch Force! to anyone who's not played it at that price (not so much the sequel). And Pirate's Curse is worth about that, too.

Super excited for Zero Mission as well since the original game is the only Metroid I have yet to beat & this is best way to experience that.

EDIT: The Fall also looks pretty interesting.

Zero Mission is a lot of fun! The original Metroid has aged pretty badly, so it's well worth going for Zero Mission instead.

It will definitely get me to turn on my wii U again as it's been left untouched since MH4U came out.

WARNING: This reply contains a joke so poor it may cause a black hole to spontaneously appear in your heart. You have been warned.

Yeah, I've not seriously played on my Wii U for a while, either. Zero's mission: Zero Mission!

That's a so bad it's good joke though.

Thanks!

This Week

Mario Party 10 £34.99
Mario vs. Donkey Kon: Tipping Stars £17.99 (Both Versions)
Castlevania Aria of Sorrow £6.29

Hyper Light Drifter delayed until 2016. Shame - I'm really looking forward to this one.

That's a very smart move to be honest, I'd probably be really annoyed if I was an original backer though and that price point is a little surprising.

Can only agree with Jas: I'd rather get the right game than a broken version which may or may not be patched a few months down the line. Besides, we've all got backlogs to contend with and best.

I've been backing a few things and that is one of the issues that the game might get delayed or might not even come out.

But only thing is I backed Edge of Eternity for instance £15 if it goes up to £20 when it comes out but I still get for the money I paid.
