NEW NoE Site is up!

[Link83]

See here!:-
http://www.nintendo-europe.com/
Think it looks quite good so far, much better than the old site...

[Phube]

Stars to points.... PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Shino]

Haha gotta love them, ofcourse I still don't get to choose, but either way, France, Netherlands who cares its all Belgium.

[ShadowV7]

Stars to points.... PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quite correct sir. I'm expecting some games to go up to the catalogue aswell actually...

[Owen]

So will it be back fully tomorrow? Looks really cool and modern so far!

[Tellyn]

I hope there's some good gifts in the style of the Japanese catalogue (i.e. Exclaimation Warriors, Game and Watch Collection, Tingle's Balloon Fight and SNES controller) because I'd definitely buy them over Wii Points. If they only put Wii Points up, I'm waiting it out because there'll probably be some awesome stuff up over the coming weeks.

[Serebii]

Ah yeah, thats a good point. I was going toblow all 18,000 of my stars on Wii Points, but you bring up a good point...

[Tellyn]

Indeed. I just hope they really have been working on those Japanese gifts.

[Owen]

Mario Soundtrack PLEASE!

I'll be very surprised and dissapointed if NOE didn't listen to the thousands of complaints over the past 5 odd years since this stars catalogue was created.

It's crying out for some cool, niche Japanese Club Nintendo gifts!

I have 10,000 stars!

[Tellyn]

Yeah, Nintendo-Europe was one of the worst websites in creation. The Stars Shatalogue was the worst customer rewards service ever too.

[Dyson]

Better than nothing though.

[ShadowV7]

To be honest I would of preferred nothing since I wouldn't be hopefull about the catalogue being updated. Might get my VIP codes soon incase I need to frantically enter them for cool stuff.

[Serebii]

Stuff like the NES/SNES classic controllers...geek stuff..thats what I'd get personally :p

[Tellyn]

Stuff like the NES/SNES classic controllers...geek stuff..thats what I'd get personally :p

Of course! :D

[ShadowV7]

And faster shipping so it doesn't take up to 4 weeks :heh:

[Serebii]

And more than 1000 ones across all of europe so that you dont have to order the second that its put up to get it.

Like have it up for say 2 weeks and then they get as many as that made or something like that. That way there'd be an excuse for 4-24 weeks delivery :p

[Ike]

Give Tingle's Balloon fight!!!

Might start register stars now, hm...

Or maybe not since the product registration is all weird.

[Serebii]

Yeah. One thingas for sure, I have like 17,000 stars to spend before June :/

[ShadowV7]

Wonder if it'll launch at midnight or sometime in the morning like 8/9/

Midnight would be much better, if there is new stuff, less people wil be up :heh:

[Slaggis]

Where does it say it will be fully back tomorrow? It just says "will be back soon" or am I missing something?

[ShadowV7]

I think there was a message on the site saying it would launch on the 26th of November.

[Tellyn]

I'm pretty sure it's not tomorrow...

[Ike]

Just dug up 2, 000 points, but it doesn't let you register them properly yet, you have to wait until the site goes back up.

[ShadowV7]

Yea I read it wrong. Though it said it was gonna close down on the 26th for the final changes. Ah well.

[flameboy]

To be honest I would of preferred nothing since I wouldn't be hopefull about the catalogue being updated. Might get my VIP codes soon incase I need to frantically enter them for cool stuff.

thats how I feel now..

[canand]

I hope it comes on soon.

[Owen]

I hope it comes on soon.

I'm expecting it back in a few weeks. If not, Jan 2008.

I have no-idea how long it takes to re-design a website etc...

[canand]

I have no-idea how long it takes to re-design a website etc...

Would Emasher know?

[flameboy]

well to be honest, it depends how long they have been working on it whilst the other site is still up and running. Also how many people are working on it full time.I mean it could take a few weeks doing it alone if you had work etc...but a full team, could do it no trouble.

OK thanks mate I hope they finish it today or tommorrow night.

[Ike]

The new site should already been finished. Mostly likely they are currently uploading the new site and testing it. Due to the size of the site, and the new features, this could possibly take a while.

[Serebii]

I'm expecting it back in a few weeks. If not, Jan 2008.

I have no-idea how long it takes to re-design a website etc...
One of the first rules of web design...minimise any possible downtime

If you are overhaulling a site, try and do a floating overhaul...have it running while doing it. If not then take it off for the time it takes to implement

The fact is, they didnt start redesigning like yesterday...they probably have been doing it for months and now they have the implementation

It shall be down for no more than a week at most

[Tellyn]

I reckon it'll be back Sunday night/next Monday.

[ShadowV7]

I think it'll be Monday it get's relaunched. Might take a week or so to integrate/upload.

[canand]

I think it'll be Monday it get's relaunched. Might take a week or so to integrate/upload.

I hope it wont be a week or so.

[sim1987]

Has anybody noticed the site has become messed up now?

[Serebii]

Has anybody noticed the site has become messed up now?
That'd be due to them implementing their new system. Probably they changed the database structure and all that, thats why they had to take it offline

[canand]

Has anybody noticed the site has become messed up now?

What doy you mean its messed up? its not messed up.

[sim1987]

I mean the stuff that's supposed to be under wii is under ds as well as the ds stuff

[canand]

I mean the stuff that's supposed to be under wii is under ds as well as the ds stuff

Oh Yeah I get you know and has anybodey bookmark the page?

[Serebii]

Weird, Nintendo.co.uk and Nintendo-europe.com havent been working for me all day. Curious

[Ike]

It works for me as well.

[Nintenchris]

Well it was working for me but now its just dead...

[flameboy]

yeah not working for me now.

[Tellyn]

Yeah it's down, doubt it's going up tonight.

[sim1987]

Oh well I guess registering Super Mario Galaxy will have to wait.

[ShadowV7]

Still working for me :heh:

Don't think it'll be up just yet though. Sunday/Monday is likely.

[Din]

The site is down for me also.

I'm really hoping for something to spend my stars on when it relaunches... not holding my breath though.

[Tellyn]

I just hope to god I'm on when the Stars Catalogue is updated.

Thought: do you think we'll get points for our VC purchases?

[ShadowV7]

Doubt it, we use our points to stars to get VC games. So I it would be a bit of a refund which would be awfully generous of them :heh:

Catalogue is what i'm going straight too when the sites up.

[Tellyn]

Doubt it, we use our points to stars to get VC games. So I it would be a bit of a refund which would be awfully generous of them :heh:

Catalogue is what i'm going straight too when the sites up.

When you link your Stars Catalogue to your Wii Shop Channel you can see your purchases on the site. If you click on one of the games you've bought, it says you'll be able to claim your star points soon.

[ShadowV7]

Really? I never noticed that before. I'm sure I linked my account up but I better check. Would be really good if you do get the points though.

[canand]

Really? I never noticed that before. I'm sure I linked my account up but I better check. Would be really good if you do get the points though.

I seen it before and I wonderd when we can get stars from them.

[Jhaqen]

I asked about the points conversion a week or two ago and got this response:

"Dear Customer, thank you for your email.

I’m afraid, I cannot confirm an exact date for this process, but do keep an eye on the website in the next few weeks."

[ShadowV7]

Ohh interesting. I shall be keeping my eye on it in the next few weeks.

[canand]

Ohh interesting. I shall be keeping my eye on it in the next few weeks.

How can we keep a eye on it if its geting updated?

[Tellyn]

How can we keep a eye on it if its geting updated?

We're to wait until it gets put back up.

[canand]

We're to wait until it gets put back up.

I say it be here tomorrow or next week.

[Luke]

My Wii has started flashing, could be something, but the site is still down. Can't attend to the Wii until the morning probably though, so I won't know what it is. Probably just Mii Contest Channel alerts.

[Owen]

New Contest i think....

[Tellyn]

New Contest i think....

Yeah it is.

[ShadowV7]

Wonder how many more "My Wii is flashing..." we're gonna get before we actually get the channel.

Bet's anyone? I'll say 5 :heh:

[Charlie]

IT'S UP AND LOOKS AMAZING!


lolololol

[ShadowV7]

IT'S UP AND LOOKS AMAZING!




Stars -> Points Confirmed. Just got 3000 points for 6000 stars, pretty good for me. Also snagged a Mario Galaxy hat and OST, there's another 250 odd left.

[Cookyman]

Where is it - says be back soon on mine!!!

[ShadowV7]

So far it's just the catalogue that's up, there's a link down at the bottom of the page under the Wii section...

[triforcemario]

Read Moria's post a little more carefully...


¬¬

[triforce_keeper]

Where is it - says be back soon on mine!!!

So gullible :heh:

[ShadowV7]

Read Moria's post a little more carefully...


¬¬

So gullible :heh:

You guys just couldn't keep it going? Was seriously hoping to get a few good people here...

[triforce_keeper]

You guys just couldn't keep it going? Was seriously hoping to get a few good people here...

Suppose canand's reaction would have been pretty funny...

Sorry! :(

[Cookyman]

BASTARDO'S!!!!

Had me going there you swines!

:(

[ShadowV7]

Suppose canand's reaction would have been pretty funny...

Sorry! :(

That's who I was waiting for :heh:
Wanted to see his reaction and a bunch of people getting distressed they couldn't see the new site. Could of been good.

[Ike]

NoA's (http://www.nintendo.com/) website has been updated, is this what ours will look like?

[ShadowV7]

Well to be honest from the Wii, DS section of the Europe one, I was thinking that was what the layout/style would be sort of like, which is sort of what the NoA one was like. So it wouldn't surprise me too much.

But question, NoA site started updating after us yet it's up sooner. What's with that :heh:

Because they are...



BASTARDO'S!!!!

[Luke]

Nintendo Europe Email Newsletter claims they are in their final stages.

[Bluejay]

Thats not very nice.

The end.

[Owen]

Right i'm in a bad mood anyway, so let me off if you disagree. :D

Also do not read this if you never see any wrong in NOE


I'm seriously getting pissed off with NOE. NOA website overhaul started about two days ago and now it's fully complete...we're still waiting! I thought it was a special thing just for Europe because we're always put till last, but oh no.

The Stars/Points are obviously not going to happen this year, they even stated:

'*Purchasing of Wii Points in the Stars Catalogue will be available at a later date.'

Whats so bloody hard about doing this? Seriously! It just makes me wonder how many people are actually at the NOE offices, my guess is like 2.

It's like they're taking the piss out of us.

(I had to delete a HUGE paragraph of Anti NOE...it wasn't pleasent reading) for a Nintendo fan.

[Charlie]

One good thing I've noticed from the splash page is that they're using PHP.... They weren't using that before, were they?

[theguyfromspark]

Hmm I thought they were. Could be wrong though.

[Ike]

One good thing I've noticed from the splash page is that they're using PHP.... They weren't using that before, were they?

Nope, they were using ASP before.

[Nintenchris]

www.nintendo.com

I bet we get the same site as the Americans have just got.... but we should get a stars catalogue thing... which they still dont have.

[Din]

But question, NoA site started updating after us yet it's up sooner. What's with that :heh:
NoE have always been f'n useless...

They're probably going to wait until our current stars (like all the ones collected from the GameCube era) expire. Now if they do that it will be a big kick in the nuts to all the loyal fans who stuck by them when they weren't doing so well.

[canand]

IT'S UP AND LOOKS AMAZING!


lolololol

It is not up and running?

[triforce_keeper]

It is not up and running?

It is mate.



I have bought 3000 Wii Points already..

[ShadowV7]

It is mate.



I have bought 3000 Wii Points already..

Yep, I thought it was a good conversion rate to be honest though. Was expecting about 10 stars per Wii poinrt. Did you get anything else?

What browser you using canand? IE, firefox?

[Tellyn]

Did anyone else get that awesome limited edition Zelda Wii? Sold out in 5 minutes. I'm proud of my catch. :D

[triforce_keeper]

[Ash]

[Ash]

[EchoDesiato]

Dude, have you deleted your cookies? The new site is awesome, it's even better with the Wii browser, it has tons of cool minigames!

[Gio001]

Did anyone else get that awesome limited edition Zelda Wii? Sold out in 5 minutes. I'm proud of my catch. :D

I got the red Mario Galaxy Wii, i also got the gold plated DS and diamond encrusted Wii-motes. Missed out on the Gold plated screensavers though, they went really fast

[ShadowV7]

http://www.nintendo.co.uk/home.php?lang=en_gb, its not up

Some browsers are having trouble loading the site since it's done via PHP now. Your really missing out on some good stuff here. Though naturally the best stuff is now gone.

Can't wait to have my SNES Control and Mario OST here soon. Doesn't take 4 weeks like normal :yay:

[Tellyn]

Tingle's Balloon Fight just got added!!!

[ShadowV7]

Tingle's Balloon Fight just got added!!!

Tingles Balloon Fight = Bought, with stars :awesome:
I'm hoping for a section of the catalogue to update so you can get your Miis picture on the back of your battery cover, that would be amazing.

[triforcemario]

Holy shit! You can now buy the rights to the Mario series for 3000 star points!

[Meta_Omega]

Did anybody of you manage to get one of those NES-styled cases for Wii? That looked awesome, though they were sold out before I had the chance to get it. What I got though was the 50 cm statue of Link. So awesome.

[darksnowman]

I ain't seeing whatever all you chaps are seeing. :cry:

[Luke]

What a wind up! :heh:

It's not even up their obviously lying!

[ShadowV7]

[Luke]

Grrrr, I'm pissed off!

[Luke]

You got burned. I just got a Shigeru Miyamoto and Eiji Aomuna for only 1000 points per man.

Not bad, this new stars catalogue.

[Eddage]

Nintendo have issued a statement on the new Stars Catalogue. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0)

Let me guess, Rick Roll? It is linking to Youtube after all!

[triforcemario]

I just bought Nintendo for 4000 Star Points.

Now, back to making that hard-core RPG for the Wii...

[Indigo]

I got through!

They were out of the Zelda posters, but I managed to snag one of Yamauchi's old love hotels for 2000 stars.

[Owen]

I just purchased NOE with 10,000 stars!

Now lets see if i can do a better job of running it!

[ShadowV7]

I just purchased NOE with 10,000 stars!

I think even Sony can do a better job running it...

[Dyson]

I just bought the world for 1000 stars!

And still had enough for 2000 Wii Points left over :D

[Cube]

Sweet Jesus! I bought God for 789 Stars!

[darksnowman]

I bought God for 789 Stars!

Whoa, I bet you didn't.

I would be spending my stars, but well, theres nothing to spend em on. Oops.

[ShadowV7]

I bought hell for 1500 stars, so when I die, i'm sorted.

[PyroFlare]

Looks like Nintendo of America's new design... www.nintendo.com

[EchoDesiato]

Woo! I just bought a night with Scarlet Johansson in one of Nintendo's love hotels for 20000 stars!

[Jimbob]

They've got some nice things in the catalogue, i've just bought the Wii production factories and The Legend of Zelda franchise for 2,500 points. Now i can decide when Wii's become available in Europe.

OMG, Koji Kondo has just become available on the site for 3,000 points.

[Tellyn]

I bought Miyamoto's brain for 3000 points. Lol at whoever bought Miyamoto. :D

[Serebii]

The joke got old like yesterday guys :p

[Tellyn]

Awesome, Serebii's account is now up for 500 points!

[Fierce_LiNk]

I just bought Ex-Gamespot employee Jeff Gerstmann for 8,800 stars. :)


Why he was on the NoE site, I do not know. Megaton!

[EchoDesiato]

8,800 stars. :)


You, sir, have just won the thread. Bravo.

[Gio001]

Woo! I just bought a night with Scarlet Johansson in one of Nintendo's love hotels for 20000 stars!

You have to save her from Bowser first though.

[Cube]

You have to save her from Bowser first though.

The main problem will be that she'll always be in another hotel.

[canand]

Right if there are mods here please get rid of this thread.

[Fierce_LiNk]

Lighten up and join in the fun, pencil neck.

Good effort, we'll give you that one. :)

[triforce_keeper]

[darksnowman]

I got the Dark Tower for nineteen stars, so ha.

[canand]

I got Nintendo Wii 2 for 99,900 stars

[Tellyn]

Satan's up, 666 stars.

[Luke]

I got the Dark Tower for nineteen stars, so ha.

I bought Matt Bellamy.

[darksnowman]

Satan's up, 666 stars.

Festive seeing as Satan is an anagram of Santa. By him at get your photo taken sitting on his knee.

[Owen]

Lighten up and join in the fun, pencil neck.

Pencil neck! :laughing:

[Meta_Omega]

You have to save her from Bowser first though.

Actually, no, because I bought Bowser for 3000 points. Don't ask me.

[EchoDesiato]

Actually, no, because I bought Bowser for 3000 points. Don't ask me.

Wait, this is getting complicated. Who gets to make sweet love to Ms Johannson now?

[James]

I bought Matt Bellamy.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooo give him back you fiend.

[Sméagol]

Oh wow, I'm a bit late to the party.. It seems they already ran out of "bad jokes" for 5 starpoints a piece :indeed: .

[EchoDesiato]

Oh wow, I'm a bit late to the party.. It seems they already ran out of "bad jokes" for 5 starpoints a piece :indeed: .

It seems you got the last one.

[Indigo]

The joke got old like yesterday guys :p
Agreed.

Most of you guys just got no wit. And stars can't buy that.

[Dyson]

I just bought Christmas for 3500 stars. I can't wait until it arrives! What's the delivery like on these items?

24 days would be perfect.

[Sméagol]

It seems you got the last one.
It's why I almost refrained from posting (as I should have), but I simply couldn't resist ;). Anyway, maybe people can get back on-topic.

[Tellyn]

Agreed.

Most of you guys just got no wit. And stars can't buy that.

They can now, 1337 stars. ;)

[ShadowV7]

They can now, 1337 stars. ;)

Hahah,smooth Mr Tellyn.

But the site should really be up soon now though :heh:

[Rowan]

I really don't hope that the more that we anticipate about the new site, the more disappointed we will be when it is fully relaunched. But alas, disappointment is only 10 stars on the catalogue.

[Coolness Bears]

I don't mind about stars as i give all mine to Bluejay. :heh:

[Owen]

What makes me laugh is people come in here and act as though we should all be serious about NOE, there one big joke anyway.

Whats there too talk about? The site when under construction over a week ago, America got there new site in two days and we're still waiting...nothing new i say.

The site will be up god knows, nothing new will be in the stars catalogue and the stars/points conversion will happen next year.

I so want to eat humble pie, but this is NOE we're talking about.

It's just because I bought NOE's common sense and working ability for 500 stars.

[Owen]

It's just because I bought NOE's common sense and working ability for 500 stars.

Whats with the two zero's on the end? :laughing:

[Phube]

Why do Austrailia get their site up first!!??? :(

[Tellyn]

Well there's the time zone difference, it's evening in Australia now, or early morning, which is about the time the site shut for us. Expect it later today I say.

[ShadowV7]

Well there's the time zone difference, it's evening in Australia now, or early morning, which is about the time the site shut for us. Expect it later today I say.

Yea same here. Anyone remember what time it originally shut down at? 5,6?

[Owen]

Australia getting it before us is fine, they often treated like Europe. So, good for them, hows the Aussie site looking?

When did it come on?

[sim1987]

This is getting a bit tedious now, I waited all week thinking "ok up on Sunday" got to today and it is now 21:30 and it still isn't up and running, it best be up tomorrow.

[ShadowV7]

I was expecting to up in the evening at about 6/7 but apparently not. Was expecting to get launched today since Australlias did.

I would say tomorrow is the latest but I just thought it would be up today. There's still time :heh:

What know they be in bed know.

[Blue_Ninja0]

We still don't know jack shit about Stars to Wii points conversion, do we?

[ShadowV7]

Yea we pretty much know nothing. Only thing we have seen of it was when they accidently put it up on the catalogue for a weird number :heh:

If they got the right amount of stars then they could of started the conversion months ago.

[Din]

Still no site up then...

[ShadowV7]

Nope which is really pathetic. Over a week now,other sites have been done in a shorter time than this site.

Star Catalogue better compensate for this.

[canand]

it might be this Friday becuse sent me a e-mail last Friday saying Our preparations for a complete website relaunch are in their final stages. We thank you for your patience, and hope to welcome you soon to our new online home!

I would guess that the only reason why it takes longer logically is that they have to get translators to ask them to translate the site into several languages.

[Charlie]

I don't see why there's any downtime at all. They should have had the new site fully complete before they took the other one down and then simply replaced the files.

[James]

That would imply NoE have common sense.

[canand]

Anyway it does not matter if we wait or not becuse we got N-Europe and ONM.

All we actually care about is the stars-wii points conversion dude...

Yeah you got to wait it well come on soon.

[seamus_aran]

God, when is this site going to go live.

I just found a pile of codes that I wish to enter...

Cleaning your room at 5am because you can't sleep. Its what all the cool kids do, right?

Wrong address sadly, so didn't bother clicking the link....;)

Oh it was a joke! It would have worked if you put the correct address in, i then would have been fooled!

:D

[ReZourceman]

(They could of changed the address) *Innocent emoticon*

Im so fecking bored its not even funny now. Someone entertain me.

[Owen]

They could have changed the address, your right. :smile:

I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for a brand new stars catalogue packed full of cool items!

[Luke]

Not like they'd do it secretly though..

[Cube]

Why do Austrailia get their site up first!!??? :(

Because they have different people working on it?

NoAu's site is a bit broken...they haven't centred it properly.

[Tellyn]

It's actually now up, just checking the Stars Catalogue to see if there's any new stuff. :D

[ShadowV7]

Least they have a site to be centered. I'm begining to not care about the site anymore, that hope of having Star -> Wii Points is fading.

But it's not like i'm gonna download a VC game soon anyway.

Are you still trying to Rick Roll people Tellyn :heh: I must have that URL memorised now. I didn't click on it just so you know, I could tell...

Damn it! :heh: You're like Dyson, except he has ALL the rickrolling URLs memorised. I'm wondering if we'll get the site at all this week though.

[Owen]

I clicked it! He fooled me!

I just want my stars converted to points, thats all. It's wishful thinking about getting a cool Stars Catalogue, that will never happen....

Theres not too much i want on the VC at the mo, but there will be next year!

[ShadowV7]

And how about some freaking 3rd party N64 games!? Rate this is going Chickenzilla will have taken of the world before we have 3 of them.

[Tellyn]

Sin and Punishment is the only one so far is it not? ShadowMan was also semi-confirmed by its creator.

[ShadowV7]

Ah yea forgot about that :heh:

I just want Mystical Ninja Goeman already,aswell as more than 1 N64 game a month :(

[Serebii]

Technically aint Sin & Punishment 2nd party?

[Tellyn]

Treasure doesn't belong to Nintendo.

[Owen]

Ah yea forgot about that :heh:

I just want Mystical Ninja Goeman already,aswell as more than 1 N64 game a month :(

Yeah and that game with the animals including a sheep is it? Whats it called....

Also i'll buy Majora's Mask for like the fifth time and won't understand the time aspect of it again! I want to complete that!

[Tellyn]

I'm with you Owen, I'm determined to find the first dungeon this time. :D I might rebuy Ocarina next year too.

[Serebii]

Silicon Valley? I want that game

[darksnowman]

I never had Silicon Valley on N64 and Majora's Mask is a game I want to re-own on the VC, I wish they would release it already. A great game and one I want to replay... except on the N64 cart there are only two files available and I've never wanted to delete either. :hmm:

No word on this new site and stars to Wii points? Its getting boring waiting.

[Owen]

Silicon Valley? I want that game

That's it! Never had it and it looks interesting!

[Cube]

That's it! Never had it and it looks interesting!

Yea. It looked awesome.

God bless Rockstar when they used to make great games.

[Tellyn]

Yea. It looked awesome.

God bless Rockstar when they used to make great games.

Indeed. I don't get why they feel compelled to include extreme violence, sex, drugs etc. in most of if not all their games.

[Din]

Silicon Valley? I want that game
:bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: SpaceStation Silicon Valley is truely awesome! I've still got it on the N64 but I would still download it.

I have no faith in NoE putting up a stars catalogue. Let's face it, even if they do get one up it will just be full of shit. Prove me wrong NoE, prove me wrong!

[Serebii]

Indeed. I don't get why they feel compelled to include extreme violence, sex, drugs etc. in most of if not all their games.
Cant beat the Sex, Drugs & Violence of Rockstar Presents Table Tennis. It kicks ass

[Dyson]

Damn it! :heh: You're like Dyson, except he has ALL the rickrolling URLs memorised. I'm wondering if we'll get the site at all this week though.

Nothing gets through my Rickrolling sensors :heh:

[James McGeachie]

Indeed. I don't get why they feel compelled to include extreme violence, sex, drugs etc. in most of if not all their games.

Well for GTA all that's really there for is to portray a realistic representation of what gang life is like. If you take out any of those 3 elements you're kidding yourself about taking the theme seriously really.

[Luke]

Strange how it's been almost ready for like 5 days.

[James]

Strange how it's been almost ready for like 5 days.

Its been longer than 5 days.

[david.dakota]

Since it's Wii's first (European) birthday later this week, i'd imagine the relaunch will take place then..?

[casper_uk]

It's getting silly now i mean just how long does a multi billion dollar company need to set up a website? lol

[ShadowV7]

If they're relaunching on the Wiis birthday then it'll be Friday since then it would of been 52 weeks.

But still, pretty lawl worthy it's taking so long.

[Luke]

Its been longer than 5 days.

5 days since they email they sent to people saying they're 'almost ready'.

[Owen]

It's getting silly now i mean just how long does a multi billion dollar company need to set up a website? lol

My thoughts exactly and we still don't know if it's all brand new or there just going to re-use all the crap from the last website.

Will anything really change other then the layout? I hope so...

[flameboy]

What a joke that a market leader has had its site down for this long so close to xmas.

[Luke]

Looks like it's going to be Saturday then..

[ShadowV7]

It's less likely that it'll be updated on a weekend. It should be tomorrow since that's the Wiis first actual year being 52 weeks to the day. But then again NoAus got updated on a Sunday...

[Gio001]

Noe staff working weekends !!!???

[ShadowV7]

Noe staff working weekends !!!???

NoE staff working on weekdays!?

[EchoDesiato]

NoE staff working?

NoE staff?

NoE?

[casper_uk]

I think your right, they have it on hold till the one year anniversary, but still it's really bad planning/marketing especially with it getting close to xmas! They should of built the new site offline and only took the old one down today/yesterday to publish the new one ready for tomorrow...

But then again this is NoE we are talking about lol

[triforce_keeper]

I so bummed that they haven't done the christmas calender game thing this year, I loved the adventures of snow-boy or whatever it was.

Good times =D

[canand]

It well be tomorrow becuse we got that e-mail from them saying they're 'almost ready and thats a Friday so it be tomorrow becuse of the Nintendo Wii birthday.

[ShadowV7]

It well be tomorrow becuse we got that e-mail from them saying

[canand]

[canand]

What did the e-mail say? It was nearly done upgrading it?

It said Our new website is nearly here... Our preparations for a complete website relaunch are in their final stages. We thank you for your patience, and hope to welcome you soon to our new online home! and its got a image of a Club Nintendo hat in it and the image of the teaser site.

[Serebii]

How do you know it meant tomorrow

[Tellyn]

He's guessing.

[canand]

How do you know it meant tomorrow

It might be it might not.

[Gentleben]

It was called "Snowdrift Land" I've still got a folder with all the downloadable files you earned for completing each Level, and the Bonus folder for collecting all the snowflakes. :)

[Jimbob]

[darksnowman]

Wooo =]

I had to format my harddrive shortly after that so i lost them all =[


That really did get me in the christmas mood and all the little retro jingles...

Damn I want to play it =[

[Owen]

Still not up people! I give up to be honest...:indeed:

[ShadowV7]

Times I tink it might go up are 9,12,5. But those are guesstimates. After today if it doesn't get updated, then i'm giving up. Taking far too long and I can't be bothered waiting.

[flameboy]

www.nintendo.co.uk, check it out, stars to wii points isnt on though, its there but link doesnt work, there are some pretty cool other things to buy!

I've emailed them to ask why it isnt working.
