I think it was Target, not sure if it's still going on. Walmart had a pricing error with a ton of Wii U games marked to $10 recently but that was corrected.

Spin the Bottle: Bumpie's Party looks like it will be a supremely fun drinking game. I'll have to pick it up later this month when it's Mario Kart DUI night.

The comments section is amazing. People saying, "drunken party games to not need a console". How dare people think of games that cannot be argued as art!

However, thankfully I'm no longer a pubescent teenager, so will be taking no part in this.

Definitely. This game + a little bit of booze will be an excellent party game. This is a good alternative to Nintendoland because my friends have found that playing the Ghost Game drunk is really hard :(.

The Ghost Game drunk is much better because the hunters have a really big advantage when they've got four people playing all of whom are sober enough to properly strategies and not wander off alone. Add alcohol into the equation and the ghost has a chance of winning more than 10% of the time.

Platinum is teasing some sort of surprise announcement for the end of the upcoming W101 Direct... surely it's gotta be an eShop demo, right?

Not necessarily, no. Some devs/publishers are too cheap to shell out for an OFLC rating, which means the games aren't released in AU/NZ alongside the EU release like they usually are. This sort of thing usually only happens with shovelware but it's not uncommon.

The easiest way around this is to set up a second NNID profile with the UK or an EU country as the country of origin, which you can then use to buy things from the European eShop - not only do they have a larger catalogue, but their prices are better, too.

It's probably wishful thinking, but having Bayonetta 1 included with W101 would make sense to build hype for Bayonetta 2 for Nintendo-only gamers, and I never picked up a copy of Bayonetta so I'd be all over that.

It'd also bump the classification of Wonderful 101 which would be detrimental to selling that game.

If it was just WonderRed, it would be a boring and dull announcement. Putting the whole crew in as one, would really cement how you need them all, and it would look cool visually.

I gotta admit, I'm wondering if Viewtiful Joe is lurking somewhere in W101. It's probably not likely due to Capcom, but you can always hope.

BAEST MODE!!!
I bit the bullet today and got a U off of SA Mart. I'm out of town for a few days, so I won't have time to fix the TV I use for gaming by the time I get back, and may not have time for a few days after. Is there any downside to just using the Gamepad for awhile? I'm only going to be playing Mario.

I think there are a bunch of people who can create trailing images. I know some who could do this as if they were just going out for a stroll.
It looks a bit worse than on the TV, but otherwise not really, depends on the game. Mario U loses nothing by just playing on the pad.

Wow, that's creepy I was thinking the same thing but more along the lines of a 15-20 buck or so eshop entry to prep for it coming out. I'd snatch that up in a heartbeat.

But there were three VJ games. Granted the third was a gimmicky DS game but it was still a third game.

I miss VJ, the first game was really fun and while I own VJ2 I've not had the chance to play it yet. I really should but I need to get my Wii U set up to play GC games first. :(

Pretty sure it's international, theres a lot in this game that harkens back to their old titles. I wouldn't be suprised if the main 101s were all based off Viewtiful joe, devil may cry, bayonetta and metal gear solid rising characters.

Wonder Pink's got Bayonetta's hair and Matilda's spiked whip from Anarchy Reigns, so it's pretty likely there'll be a few more.

The PS3 version was pretty bad compared to the 360 version, what with the framerate issues and all. If they did do a Wii U port, hopefully it won't be as bad as the PS3 version.
