Geez, really y'all?

Moisture condenses on the outside of a cold glass and can then drip down to produce a water ring on the table. A coaster acts as a buffer to prevent damage to wood or other surfaces that could be damaged by such water. The More You Know♒★


Can we get back on topic now? :v:

You don't need a coaster if you just throw your bottle of Dew into a pile of dirty clothes when you're not drinking from it.

That is not the purpose of a coaster. I can't believe I'm explaining- wait, yes, I totally can believe this. Please just Google "condensation" you heathen.

Why? Was a single game split for NA, or did they wait until AW2 was developed to bother releasing them in Japan?

The latter. They also didn't release Days of Ruin in Japan until it was offered as a downloadable DSi Club Nintendo reward, despite there being Japanese language data in the international DS releases.

It was going to be released in Japan on October 12th 2001, compared to the US release on September 10th, but the events of September 11th caused Nintendo to cancel the Japanese release. In 2004 they got the compilation.

I am happy for both releases. Advance Wars 2 was a really amazing game. And I really liked Genghis Khan 2 back on the SNES, as it was a surprising deep strategy game. Which it very obvious Crusader King II took elements from it.

I have all 4 Advance Wars games, with 1 being my least favourite and I can't pick between 2 and Days of Ruin/Dark Conflict as the best, and I am really chuffed to see it finally come to the VC. AW games really lend themselves well to the Wii U Gamepad.

There is a blatant AW rip off on Steam now, called "Front Wars", that I am tempted to plump for just to see how it measures up.

Capcom is also doing a sale in NA from the 24th to the 31st but NOA didn't list the prices or the games (aside from MH4).

I've read the Splatoon Testfire demo is different to the last one but I don't know how or if it's even true. Whatever, just buy the drat game.

Advance Wars is cool, Ghengis Khan is a Koei game, Wario is anti-fun. 3D Gunstar is gonna melt your eyeballs.

If you already own Woah Dave on 3DS you can redeem it for Wii U, if you really want to.

First one is grimdark zelda and pretty good.

Second one threw out everything good about the first to make it a bad hack & slash that drags on forever.

Darksiders is weird because it cribs elements from a lot of really good games but doesn't do any of them as well.

I got to the part in the first one where you literally get the gun from loving Portal and then just gave up because the whole experience is honestly pretty lame.

So, NOA accidentally made Freedom Planet available on the eShop for a little while and a few people managed to buy it. Oops.

Also, Nintendo is running another "Nindies" event at PAX Prime and it sounds like a few games will be announced - a new Mighty game from WayForward (possibly a dating sim), a port of Pix the Cat, etc.

Supposedly Adventure Mode is broken and will freeze the console on the version that was put up. So if you grabbed it before it went down, don't play that mode
