Portable gaming is more of a thing over there. Plus, PSPs are easy to hack to run emulators and pirated copies of PSP games.

What's weird about it..? That it still sells a reasonable amount due to the piracy thing or that it increased by a whopping 120 units?

It might because the PSP is discontinued so people are buying the system up before all the new units are gone from stores.

I think mostly that it went up almost as many units as the XBOX 360 sold.

Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight and barbecue your own drumsticks!

That Smash character reveal trailer was just basically a laundry list of every character I wanted to be in the next Smash, barring Shulk.

And hey, I noticed they picked the male Avatar who looks remarkably like Shulk!

Maybe they'll listen to all the complaints about the Star Fox clones and give us a new Star Fox character.

So I had the weirdest thing happen. I loaned a friend of mine my WiiU, and the fan stopped working proper. I unplug everything, bring it back home and hook it up, it's running fine. No shut offs after fifteen minutes, nothing bad at all.

I'm approaching 100 hours, and I'm at like... 99.7%. :negative:

Though to be fair, a lot of that time was just my wife and I driving around, smashing things, jumping in bouncy house, and posting goofy pictures to miiverse. I think there's only 1 mission left with 2 things to unlock in it. And it has been a lot of fun.

My GF wanted to go see the Lego Movie solely because she thought Undercover was pretty funny from what she could hear in the other room.

I could swear when I was checking Walmart for those clearance stand chargers people kept mentioning (which I didn't find it the 3 that I checked) that I saw the Wii U pro controller for $29.99 there. Along with some knockoff one for the same price, which surely doesn't have the eternal battery that the official one has!

(Also the only Kmart near me didn't have them when when I called 2-3 weeks ago... argh, drat you cheap pro controllers.. I want you).

Yup, it's the original game running on a Nintendo-made emulator that should be as close to 100% accurate and speed as possible.

Sometimes they're altered, mostly to remove flashing seizure lights but Super Metroid should be exactly the same.

This is the only place I've seen this flyer, and Best Buy's website has a different set of deals for this week's flyer. Is this next week's flyer or last week's?

Most likely, since that was the clearance price for them that K Mart had.

Walmart always has random unannounced sales on poo poo, sometimes on a store-by-store basis. I went on a wild goose chase last year because a friend told me Dualshock3s were on sale for $36.xx "at Walmart," and after going to the nearest 2 or 3 Walmarts and seeing them at full price, called him and said "WHICH WALMART?!" Oh, the one two towns over...

Also, that stand charger (for the Gamepad, yes?) is really cheap even at full price. I paid $6 at Gamestop; it's even less a penny less on Amazon.

Just a head's up to anyone buying from store.nintendo.com. I've been having the most nightmarish transaction with them trying to buy 2 Wiimotes. It's 2.5 weeks after I placed the order (for the white ones because they have been in stock) and they "shipped" 12 hours ago with an invalid tracking number. I've been in contact with them for over a week, and no one has been able to give me a reason why they wouldn't ship. I got a whole week of "It's in picking status. I don't know why it hasn't shipped, we have them in stock."

Then last Wednesday they said they'd open a ticket to get to the bottom of it and call me back. Still haven't heard anything. So basically IF this tracking number is correct, I'm looking at, best case scenario, getting them 3 weeks later despite them telling me the whole time that they were in stock and I should have expected them at my door in 5-7 days maximum.

While customer service was incredibly nice, they have been completely clueless and ineffective for the past 2.5 weeks.

Does this mean it took 45 hours to 100% the game? For how much everyone talks about how it has this unbelievable insane amount of content that will keep you busy forever.... that seems really short. I was expecting at least 65+ hours from how much people hyped it up.

I swear someone said 2-3 weeks ago you could find it on clearance at Walmart for something like $3.65 or so. I didn't go out of my way to find it, just stopped at ones I was passing by and I never saw it. :(
