July's Must Buy's, July's releases what you buying ot not

Sorry it’s a bit early, but going too busy at work and girlfriend is down for a week etc.

A small, but surprisingly good month especially for Nintendo systems, there's even a Wii game. 

July 5th
Dark Xbox 360, PC                     
Project X Zone 3DS       

July 12th
Dynasty Warriors 8  Xbox 360, PS3   
Mario and Luigi Dream Team Bros 3DS       
The Serious Sam Collection Xbox 360

July 19th
The Smurfs 2 Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, DS, Wii U      

July 26th
New Super Luigi U Wii U £24.39
Pikmin 3 Wii U £27.99

Myself, I'm going for this lot

July 5th
Project X Zone 3DS, Demo was so-so but is cheap so taking the punt       

July 12th
Mario and Luigi Dream Team Bros 3DS, never played any of the others in the series but looks good       

July 26th
New Super Luigi U Wii U, this is a maybe as I'm not a big 2D mario fan but does look good and if i can find for £25ish i'll get it
Pikmin 3, Yay finally

I'm downloading NSLU tomorrow. £18 is a nice price.

I'm getting Mario & Luigi for £25 from Tesco Direct - that's a most puntable price, if I say so myself.

I'm expecting nothing less than Pikmin 3 to be the best game on Wii U so far. That's getting bought, no question about it.

I didn't realise Mario and Luigi were out so soon. I'll probably pick that, Pikmin 3 and NSLU up one day, however I'm moving early July so the chance of any games is very slim. Birthday in August though!

Treesmurf'll be happy, at least.

Now, I really should try the PXZ demo.  Anyone know if it's still up?  M&L:DT is a definite, but I'll be waiting for reports on NSLU before I download it.  P3... ehhhhhh.  The time limit puts me off.

It's only a time limit, not a day limit. Think Chibi-Robo, not the original Pikmin. Besides: it's a strategy game. Not buying Pikmin 3 because of in-game time limits would be like me not buying Super Mario World because of in-game time limits. Or not buying New Super Luigi U because I don't like the colour green. Or not buying The Legend of Zelda because I don't like the letter Z. Or...

Ah yes, I forgot the other reason I wasn't buying it.

And I thought I'd read somewhere that there would be a day limit?

Kind of curious about Dark, since I've only seen it advertised on the back of GamesTM. I want to know what sort of game that happens to.

I'm unsure about Project X Zone, I liked the demo and its OTT absurdity although I'm wondering if that novelty is going to stick, and I have very little attachment to most of not all of the characters. Also, I've not got Fire Emblem yet.

Pikmin is in danger of being bought, though.

Another month of nothing for me, which suits me just fine as I have plenty of games from previous years on the ps3, 3ds and psp to catch up on.  And then a Vita for Persona 4, whenever I get around to that.  

I will pick up Pikmin 3 at some point I will say, just not now.  I don't have a Wii U yet.

Pik.

Min.

Thr.

Ee.

This will be going straight in the disc slot. Looks like the games backlog will be, er... loggier.

Definitely want Mario and Luigi, Pikmin and NSLU, too many games to play, I'll of course buy the Smurfs on every available console too.

There don't seem very many releases, do there? The summer drought in action! Anyway, my picks are Mario & Luigi and New Super Luigi U. Hopefully I'll have done away with some of my backlog before they hit...

Masofdas may have just put up key releases again?

Anyhow, Mario & luigi:DT, pikmin 3 & super luigi U for me.

Ooh, I'll definitely get in on that. £22.50 for moi.


And Pikmin 3, natch. Already downloaded Luigi.

I never just put key releases, always the complete month.

Updated to match new setup, only did the 26th as the rest are out. That's the best prices I can find but what I've heard WOWHD are a slow posting out but so cheap for pikmin 3 (I've got mine preordered in indy store for £34.99 as i had some OG Xbox games to trade in).
