  @orangpelupa Go to search. Filter Nintendo 3DS Card and Music, then the game will be the first one to appear. Tap the game and then the demo is to the left of the 'more details' option. Reply +1

  No Rhythm Thief for me. Went to HMV to collect my pre-order, but they haven't received stock from the supplier. No other stores are selling it either. Gutted because it's my day off today :(
  
  It seems to be worse than what happened with Okamiden. HMV stocked a couple of copies of Okamiden in store, while no retailers seem to be stocking Rhythm Thief in store at all apart from Grainger Games ...if you live near their stores. My nearest Grainger Games is about 58 miles away >_< After HMV, I tried Currys, Argos, ASDA and Toys R Us, but no luck. Only other place I could have tried in my shopping centre was Sainsbury's, but I doubt they're stocking it if those other stores aren't. GAME and Gamestation obviously aren't stocking it, because they won't have new game stock for another week or 2 anyway.
  
  Online it's a lot worse than Okamiden's launch. Most retailers stocked Okamiden, while not many are stocking Rhythm Thief.

• Treyarch bringing COD to a "new console"

• Shadzter 04/10/2011

  It can't be Vita, as they already announced months back at Sony's first Vita conference in Japan that they have a Call of Duty game in the works for it. Reply +8

• Shadzter 06/09/2011

  @Collymilad: I don't know about the others, but Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing was £14.99 and is still £14.99. I guess it may just be a US price drop. Reply 0

• Halo: CE Anniversary to cost £34.99

• Shadzter 15/06/2011

  Many people here are misunderstanding. It means £34.99 RRP, like how brand new games are released at £49.99 RRP, but sell for £39.99 or less. Basically, this game's RRP is £34.99, but will likely sell for £24.99 or less. Reply +1

• Iwata outlines Wii U online direction

• Shadzter 15/06/2011

  "Nintendo told Eurogamer at E3 that Wii U will offer a significantly improved online experience to that of its predecessor.
  
  "The friend code system has also been refined. It still exists but in the same way that you'd need to pair up with friends on PSN or Xbox live. Now it's much closer to that kind of online gaming experience than what it was before," marketing manager Rob Lowe outlined."
  
  They were referring to the friend code system of the 3DS in that other article, not the Wii U. The way you've included it at the end of this article will make people think the Wii U is confirmed to have a friend code system. Nothing's been announced about that yet. Reply +8

  I'll have to make sure I'm signed in before 4:30pm then.

  End of May was just a rough date Sony said they were aiming for, not a promised set date. Reply +2

• PSN "fully restored" by end of week

• Shadzter 31/05/2011

  Glad to hear! It'll be great to have things back to normal.
  
  @Those complaining about the May thing.
  Sony never promised they'd get the store up by the end of May. All they said was that they were aiming to have it up by the end of May. Reply 0

  No news on Okamiden and Ghost Trick sales? I don't expect either to have sold that well, but I'd have still liked to see some sales numbers. Reply +4

• EA announces Need for Speed: The Run

• Shadzter 29/04/2011

  I think you've made a mistake in the article, Tom. You've put November 17th as the European release date, while the trailer says November 18th. Anyway, game sounds very interesting. I'll be keeping my eye on this. Reply 0

• Where has 3DS stock this weekend?

  They're offering £65 for a DS Lite, £80 for a DSi and £110 for a DSi XL. Reply 0

• Shadzter 21/03/2011

  @shrinkwrapped: Online price. I've pre-ordered instore and I'm sure it's still £219.99 with a bonus £20 HMV voucher. There are 2 bundles. One gets you one of a few select third party games for £229.99 and the other gets you one of the 3 first party offerings (including Street Fighter IV, since Nintendo's publishing it in Europe) for £239.99.

  Come on, Eurogamer, this is just getting silly now. It's like how the NGP articles say "Sony NGP is due to released Winter 2011 on PSP2." Reply 0

  Congrats to PEGI for sticking to their guns. The protestors took this way out of hand and don't even know how the ratings system works. Reply 0

• We Dare will not launch in the UK

  Looks like I've avoided this UK cancellation.
