Supposed to come yesterday, but came today - anyone else get the same? You usually get it at least 2 or 3 days early with subs anyway.
But that's all by the by.

Anywho:
Curiously little "omg!11wtf!1"-age on the DS, and they haven't even mentioned the thumb-strap, still talking about Mario and Metroid with the stylus.

Ah well - they're only critisism of both games was with the controls I suppose when someone takes another look in the DS box they might stumble across the solution.

Goldeneye gets what we all knew it would - 66%
Echoes gets 94% (Prime got 97% if you're interested)
Minish Cap - 91%
Wario Ware titly thinger 92% (yey)
Mario Tennis - 91%

Them's the good ones.

Nintendo religious Christmas p!ss-take thingy.
Shigsy's letter to Santa, which is quite hilarious.

Oh, and another DVD. Which was nice.
NGC TV indeedy. Although, annoyingly, most of the Echoes footage is too dark to see properly - I hope it isn't so bad in the actual game.

They didn't say it wasn't as excellent though did they. 97% was for a totally original gaming experience and 94% is for a game that isn't new but does what it does very well.

+ Unbelievably good level design.
+ Atmospheric game world.

- Takes a little while to get going.
- Some unimaginitive objectives.

What were their reasons for Echoes not being as excellant (although still very good) as the first Prime?

Got it also today.

Top stuff this time, which is an improvement on the dire efforts from the past few months. Although, to be fair, they haven't had much to work with recently.

The last DVD case I got had a massice chuck snapped out the bottom of it. Ah well.

And the gits have changed the subsciption gift from a controller to ... a bag. Nice. Way to save money on Christmas-present subs.
