What the hell happened to the days when everyone could just get together for some fun local multiplayer at someone's house?

Sometimes friends live too far away.

Sometimes friends move.

Sometimes you meet someone on the internet.

And sometimes you just don't have friends and have to play with randoms.(Pretty much my case) sad.png

We turned 16 and asking your friends if they wanna come over and play videogames isn't what anyone wants to do anymore.

Even the one night you play with your room mates at your uni flat... whilst it's fun theres always an uneasy feeling of 'we could be out getting drunk and having a good time and maybe copping off with some bird down at the newland club... instead we're indoors playing on the Wii."

I don't know about anyone else, but the time you're at work and someone says 'hey guys! Anyone wanna come over and play games with me!?' is the time you call the cops.

Agreed with Hogfather. You would LOSE friends these days by asking them to come round to your place and play video games. Ask them if they fancy a game of something online later and they're all "Yeah, sure."

From personal experience, I'd say that hugely depends on who your friends are.

That said, online is undoubtedly the more popular option these days that's far more likely to cause a problem if it's missing.

Me and my friends too enjoy playing games more offline then online.

It's so much more satisfying to smack someone over the head when they beat you. biggrin.png

So... "We changed the dollar sign of the price to a Euro sign"-event confirmed? tongue.png

Pretty much, yep :P More or less confirms that the news in the broadcast (which just has to be the release date and price, surely?) will apply to Europe as well as America, at least.

They'll have stores decide on price again. Though it'll be just that.

Yeah, I hate how these events never confirm a UK price and Nintendo say they're leaving it up to retailers. At least Amazon and GAME/Gamestation usually jump out with prices pretty quickly after the event, so we get an idea of what kind of price we're looking at. Supermarkets will probably undercut around launch time again.

Anyway, I'm glad I have Thursday off work biggrin.png

HEY GUYS! WE ADDED A SCREEN TO YOUR CONTROLLER.

Huh... Kidding, but it goes both ways.

But yeah, I doubt anyone who wasn't a gamer knew this event was coming anyway, and doubt they cared much anyway.

That was the rumor for a long time, pretty lame as hell that it proved to be true. I guess that means I have to get a 32 GB SDHC card and an external Hard Drive at some point.
