Most of those reported Euro league salaries are after taxes though, whereas US league figures are before taxes. So it's not a direct comparison.

I've been meaning to post a general gameplay guide for Captain Toad's final post-game level: Mummy Me Maze Forever. But yeah.

I'd say stick with it. But yeah, the game has some really bad habits that bring it down. It was charming enough to pull me in every time though. YMMV.

The dreaded internal Gamestop memo strikes again. Rumored Wave 3 release dates:

Bowser - Feb 6; Sheik, Shulk, Toon Link, Ike, King Dedede - Feb 13, Mega Man and Sonic - Feb 20.

My Shulk pre-order says Feb 1 but that could very well be a placeholder date. I do not look forward to going to a Gamestop on Feb 13 just to make sure I get Shulk.

And if it means more Steam games for Linux it'll likely also mean more Steam games for Mac, so I'm definitely onboard as well.

Ditto.

Nintendo gave you an SD card so you don't have to put a screwdriver (#0, remember!) through your system the moment you open it up for the first time.

I had the exact same reaction as James Jones when they Fire Emblem trailer started. I literally jumped off my seat and started dancing only for my jubilation to be muted when the 3DS screen popped up.

Personally this kind of makes me worried about FE x SMT. I know it has been awhile since Awakening but the turn around just feels a little fast which makes me wonder if when the Atlas Merger happened the game fell through and they just used what was developed for that game to make this one.

If the game sticks to its summer date in Japan, it will come 3 years after the release of Awakening. Not bad if the game borrows slightly from Awakening, plus it will probably have over a year's worth of development with the new 3DS hardware.

I like how Toronto just made Giovinco the highest paid player in the league and there's still the very real possibility of a work stoppage.

Now is a good time to also point out that if you've been hoarding Wii and DS codes, not every game will get you points. Check the list first

https://club.nintendo.com/eligible-products.do

EDIT: Also, remember that certain 3rd party eShop releases also get you points. The LEGO Movie game for example is only $20 right now but will net you a full 50 coins.

I have no faith in NOA offering anything good for the end of Club Nintendo. Which is fitting in a way. I mean, Super Metroid and Super Punch Out are the Wii versions, so you still have to pay the $1.50 on the eShop to upgrade them to the Wii U version.

Gold Nunchucks for all?

After I finish registering all the games I was saving up for the next Club Nintendo year I should have just enough for a gold Nunchuck.


PS: Super Mario Galaxy 2 will give you 20 coins if for some reason you're in dire need of coins.

The 3DS constantly reminds you to keep the system plugged in when it's updating. Good luck doing a system transfer with just one AC adapter.

Tom Brady has played in more Post Season games than 21 FRANCHISES.  That's a little wrong and shows you that you don't have a competitive organization.  If you want to Win in the NFL there is only a handful of teams that can get you there is what that says.  Which is not good for the game.

The only thing it shows is that there are less than 32 decent quarterbacks in the league right now.

MLS is lucky general interest in the league is so low otherwise the rigging of the process so that L.A.SeattleToronto get the big name free agents would have been met with more scrutiny than it is.

And by more scrutiny I mean more than zero.

I'm glad Captain Toad is doing so well. Also Tropical Freeze at 440k, Hyrule Warriors at 370k and Bayonetta at 135k. Sonic somehow convinced 68k people to buy it.
