    Simpler times, before the 'net' took over and people actually went and just bought an item without watching sites for months waiting for 'sub £10 and ill bite' items.

    It's a great game, I hope you enjoy it! I had to stop playing it because I didn't want it to end, now all the DLC has been released I'm going to go back to it. Gotta defeat Ganon at some point I guess..

    I forgot entirely that I'd lent my friend my copy of Buck Bumble as a kid until I was over at his house and saw he had it too. It was only then that he elected to remind me that it was actually my copy I'd lent him some time ago..

As my ever-growing pile of games will attest, it's much easier to buy games than it is to play them..

Maybe I've picked up a faulty one? But I'm not risking a replacement I'm getting a refund. It's a shame to be honest the controller looks and feels pretty decent.



    With the cable attached to dock?

    I have zelda one and it was fine just worked I didn’t have to fiddle...

    the 8bitdo ones I have found fiddly when I haven’t used for a while.

    The Zelda and Mario ones are works of art. My only wish is that the Zelda one had the pattern all over it without the picture of link, like with the Mario one..

    Thrice with the racing game.

    PS - I wish it was a sequel to all stars with all the Sega characters and not a sonic only one!

    All Stars is amazing, one of my favourite Wii U games. Reminded me of Diddy Kong Racing which I really wish they'd bring back. Hopefully the new Sonic racing game is just as good
