Will be here tomorrow for me. Cannot wait to check it out, and I know I have a game I can just keep going back and going back to.

me too.. although I have to pick mine up at Bestbuy (had $20 in rewards to use).  Will most likely be getting Wind Waker as my free game, I never got to play it .. only other option for me was Pikmin 3 since I have all the others.

Yeah if I was smart I would have used my BestBuy Reward points too. I have $35. Oh well have them until August, so will figure out another use for them.

 

And I am going with Pikmin 3 I believe. Either that or NSMB since I do not own it anymore. But I think it will be Pikmin 3. People rave about what a good game it is.

Good idea, if you need to borrow nsmb just let me know..I don't think I beat it yet but I'm sure I won't be revisiting it anytime soon

Got my copy in the post this morning. Wow is all I can say. This is the best game Nintendo have pushed out since the 64. It's one of those games I'm not going to be able to put down for a while.

I grabbed a copy of Sonic (I already own the other better games in the list). The code was delivered instantly.

Just curious, are there any updates for the game? I want to know if when I get home from work I should set it all up and let my WiiU grab any updates or patches it may need to play the game, as it is terribly slow in doing so. Just want to make sure I am all ready to go for when I finally check it out later on at night.

TIA,

DL

Just checked out the upload feature real quick. Damn this game is awesome.

 

Online is terribly spotty all around though. Club Nintendo was down for me as well. Trying to play a MP match has been not very easy, was only able to get one full match in and had an connection error before it ended. 3 other times was a spectator and had a connection error. I imagine things will settle down after the initial launch rush. But SP is classic MK with gorgeous visuals. Not much else to say really.

I was able to pick it up for $58 AUD. In a rare example of customer service, the guy in the ent. dept. told me about a friends and fam benefit which offered another 10% off. Total price 52.10. When you consider you get the code to grab another game that is 26.50 for 2 Ninty first party titles. A price so rare I am still waiting for someone to shake me awake.

    • Firefox 152.0.2 is out with fixes for performance, translation, and cloud storage services

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Firefox 152.0.2 is out with fixes for performance, translation, and cloud storage services by Taras Buria A new bug-fixing update is now rolling out to Firefox users in the Release Channel. Less than a week ago, Mozilla fixed crashes on Intel Raptor Lake processors with version 152.0.1. Now, Mozilla has prepared yet another set of fixes that address problems with localization, playback issues of certain MP4 files, and performance issues on website that perform various encryption operations at once. Here is the full changelog: Firefox 152.0.2 is now available for download from Mozilla's FTP. Existing installations will get the update over the next several hours. The latest version will also be available soon on the official website, the Microsoft Store, and Neowin's Software page. You can find Firefox 152.0.2 release notes in the official documentation. In case you missed it, Mozilla released Firefox 152 earlier this month. The latest feature update brought reworked settings with a more streamlined user interface, JPEG XL support, new features for Private mode, a new way to mute a tab (just type "mute" in the address bar), and many more. You can find the complete changelog here. In other Firefox news, Mozilla recently published its roadmap, where the company detailed the upcoming Nova redesign and other features it plans to implement. Mozilla wants to make the new user interface easier to navigate and more modern, with a heavy focus on its privacy tools, such as its built-in VPN. If you are curious, you can already enable the new UI as described here.

    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By Malisk · Posted

      I wonder how many are laid off for cost savings, and this being blamed on AI to make it sound less scary and bad, for a more positive "modern, with the times" spin for investors? Because Oracle is down 14% the past year. We're looking at a company struggling here. If AI would actually be working out so well for them that they can do massive layoffs, surely this would've been reflected the past year in their stock value?
