It's called New Super Luigi U.

But it should've been called Super Luigi Bros. U (is what jimi_dini is saying)!

Nintendo is way too focused on calling everything "new". Like with the New 3DS.

In the shop:
Customer: "Will this game work on my Nintendo?"
Sales person: "What type of Nintendo console do you have?"
Customer: "A red one."
Sales person: "Ok, but is it a New 3DS, because you need a New 3DS for this game."
Customer: "Well, I bought it 2 months ago, so it's fairly new."

But Mario isn't in it so it can't be called Bros. Nintendo even specifically crossed out that word on the box art to drive that point home.

Have it your way then: "Super Luigi U"

The New still is pointless.

 

[Beyonce Beytwice]

By that logic, so is the U (since there has never been a Super Luigi game before so it doesn't need a suffix to distinguish it from its predecessors).

The U is there so that people know it only works on Wii U. That's pretty essential.

Wouldn't make sense considering the names of the heroes are Mario Mario and Luigi Mario ("Mario" bros) and there's only one of them in New Super Luigi U. The New in the title makes sense, since it was originally a DLC for New Super Mario Bros U then released as also a standalone title.

Honestly, this is a bit of a pointless discussion. It was just an honest mistake by jimi_dini that started it.

Having said that: we've already had the thing with them being "Bros." Read the last few posts above. That was already cleared out by Beyonce Beytwice.

But your logic is still off, man. The game "New Super Mario Bros. U" should've never been called "New" either. "Super Mario Bros. U" would've been perfectly ok. It's Super Mario Bros. and it plays on Wii U. Even Mario Bros. U would've been sufficient. They are not Super, because Super originally meant they could be played on the Super NES.

It's not because that game's title is wrong that the Luigi game should just follow suit.

There is no point in calling those games (or consoles like the New 3DS for that matter) "New". It does nothing but confuse customers.

Lots of UK deals ship to mainland EU and come later in the year and also in spring BOMBA prices will come to stock that did not sale this fall.

Got a 25% off code for GMG. Anyone recommend anything?

 

[JonCha]

Held off on all the other bundles waiting for a great Xbox One bundle that included MCC, hoping a decent one pops up next week!

I've got a £20 off voucher for Amazon so I'm wondering if £329 for the console and MCC is the best it's going to get before release.

 

[toythatkills]

It's a bit of a weird time to want to buy a DSi, surely?

Exactly.
Plus, no one's stopping anyone from outside the UK from posting deals in here. I've posted deals that were Sweden-exclusive (I mean.. come on!) repeatedly and have never gotten a single critical remark from anyone in the thread. So if the thread is UK-centric it's only because the most active participants are UK-based. Thus, ExoSoul's passive aggressiveness seems wholly uncalled for.

 

[foobarry81]

Even this isn't the case, I think. I mean, Keyser Soze (thread creator and overlord) is not even UK based.

And use KORT554 on zavvi.nl to get it down to just €69,11.

Not really. I just bought a backup DSi XL a month or so ago.

Anyone got a Zavvi coupon laying around? I might pick something up there if I can get 5%-10% off.

Edit. Found one myself. 10CCZ for 10% off if someone is interested.

One Piece Unlimited World Red (Wii U) is £25.06 at Amazon UK.

Rare under-£30 price for the Wii U version. It's "temporarily out of stock" though, but you could give it a try if you want the game.

Not many retailers carry it anymore, so this could be a case where it either gets a reprint in the coming weeks/months, or goes OOP alltogether.

Amazon just cancelled my order.

 

[foobarry81]

Amazon just cancelled my order.

Sorry to hear that.

But that's what I had already feared: that these are people's last chances to get the game if they want it.

Don't see it getting cheaper in the future, unless some stock leftovers are found somewhere. Or in case of a reprint of course, but at this point that doesn't seem all that likely.

 

[Zatoth]

I'll have an eye on it. Could also grab it for the PS3.

The PS3 (and the 3DS version) are probably easier to get a hold off for a fairly cheap price. It's just the Wii U version that I think is going to more of an issue from now on.

PS3 version for £19.95 at TGC for example.

Thought so. I'd prefer the Wii U version. But I am in no hurry to get the game and the price at Amazon was nice. So I tried my luck.

It's at 30€ on Amazon fr, official discount by Amazon, so about the same price.
No idea if it's in english/5 languages as most games are in Europe though.

I have a sneaking suspicion that it will be in French.

My UK copy has English text only on the back of the box. And inside there is a manual/instructions leaflet with instructions in English, Dutch, Swedish and Finnish.

Wii U version seems to be multilingual. Can't say for sure about the PS3 version.

In case you own a Wii U UK copy and it's English only, then I guess there are 2 versions in Europe. One UK only and the other one is multilingual PEGI.

EDIT: The Australian PS3 version is definitely multilingual
http://www.gamefaqs.com/ps3/771435-one-piece-unlimited-world-red/images/box-426844
And the PS3 Limited Edition has PEGI, USK + Australian age classification stickers on it. Which means there is at least one multilingual version for all those countries.

Weird. So you own the PS3 one? Or the Wii U? Could you check what the game does in case you change the language to for example French? And does the disc have a USK sticker on it? That normally hints that it's a multilingual version. The manual may be country specific of course.

Yes, the cover may be different as well. That's also the case for Nintendo games. Still the disc is the same.

i bought the LE DAY 1 for 100€ and was so proud... now they even cant get rid of it and sell it for such a shitty price

Wii U.

There is an USK logo on the sticker on the disc.

Not sure about languages, because there is a Japanese language track. I'll check tomorrow night. On the back of the box there is a "Audio" indication with ONLY the Japanese flag, btw, so I don't know if there is another language track on there even.

Edit: oh wait. Down below on the back of the box there is another indication.
- Software and electronic manual: EN, DE, FR, ES, IT
- Quick guide: EN, NL, SV, FI

So probably multilanguage on disc, but localised to some regions for the cover art and the quick guide (= the instructions leaflet I talked about before).

The game has Japanese audio only. But multilingual subtitles.
And the USK logo proves that it's a multilingual disc. I guess they did the same for PS3. Sony for example releases country-specific versions, so that people won't import games (the actual disc only has for example French + English audio or German + English audio on it, UK is English audio only). Most other companies don't do that crap.

Tales Of Graces f (PS3, also by Namco) has multilingual subtitles as well, even the UK release. Still English audio only everywhere.

I don't have any pics of it, but bought it for £20 a monthish ago for the figure alone. It's worth that price alone, very detailed and all the knives+swords that raiden has in the game come with it and can be placed on his feet+hands etc. Only complaint is the paint was kinda faded straight out of the box - not as good as the stock pics.

Thanks for The Last of Us deal! 2-4 weeks despatch though

Completely forgot when Bayo2 was out (thought it was this Friday, not last), couldn't pay for my order with Amazon (have to by tomorrow but bank holiday here so no bank open before 10AM tomorrow and they want payment by 4AM). Got onto their chat service and asked if they could cancel the automatic cancellation and the guy told me he'd get me back the initial price (£32 for the Bayo2+1 edition) if I asked. Good old Amazon.

Lords Of The Fallen is £34.95 at thegamecollection.net, PS4 and X1.
I'm waiting on some reviews to see if it's worth that or not.

Amazon.fr has it for 49,99 (10 cheaper than .de), and co.uk £39,99 which is exactly the same after conversion.
