For Shovelry!
on February 23, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
My favorite use of amiibo yet, with the added bonus of being extremely easy to obtain!
I actually already had the game on PC but picked up a Wii U copy just for the amiibo features due to how great they are.
And the figure itself is pretty nice too.

Dumb but fun, great lenticular!
on October 20, 2015
Posted by: Neph
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you're looking for a robust plot with well written deep characters, this ain't the movie you want to pick up.
If you're looking for a bombastic disaster movie that has a surprising amount of likability despite covering no new ground story wise, on the other hand...
You can find better reviews of the movie elsewhere but I was surprised at how much I liked this film. It has a certain amount of honesty about what it is that makes it much more likable than something hugely cynical like Jurassic World. At least San Andreas tries to sneak in a little character development amongst it's grudge against San Francisco, too.
As for the BB exclusive, this is a fantastic lenticular with a handful of extra bonus features on the disc. The lenti is a 4 stage transitional effect showing a scene from the opening of the movie. It's much better than the ho-hum steelbook available elsewhere and a huge improvement over the poorly done lenticular on the 3D edition.

Great lenticular for a solid Diamond edition!
on October 20, 2015

Verified Purchase:Yes
Aladdin is up there as one of my favorite Disney films, so I was extremely excited for it's arrival on bluray.
The lenticular is a really well done flip flop between Aladdin inspecting the lamp and the Genie appearing. It's very clear (unlike many blurry ones you see all the time) and is also bright and colorful. I definitely prefer this to the exclusive another retailer had.

Adorable amiibo, solid game
on October 10, 2015
Posted by: Neph
Verified Purchase:Yes
Let's be honest, a lot of people are buying this bundle solely to get their hands on the amiibo. I can't even blame them, he's adorable and has become a favorite.
The game itself is more divisive. Chibi Robo fans have been asking/begging for a sequel to the incredibly quirky and fun original game and to blunt: this ain't it. This is a handheld platformer that has very little in common with the fan favorite Gamecube game.
That doesn't necessarily mean this game is terrible. Through and through it's a solid platformer with an incredibly adorable main character. The issue is that this isn't what fans wanted (and as we all know, fans tend to be very, very loud) and that there are some truly questionable design decisions in this game.
For example: the level select is a baffling mini game where you practically play roulette to decide what level you go to next, including being forced to repeat levels you already played, until you finish the final stage and everything unlocks. You can tip the odds in your favor by using in game currency to purchase tiles for the level you want but...WHY? Who decided this was a good idea?!
Here's some more: new concepts are introduced in a tutorial-like fashion and then only used once. The in-game currency system is very slim and feels underdeveloped. There's an absolutely awful submarine vehicle level that I never, ever want to even see videos of ever again.
Unless you really, really want that amiibo I'd suggest waiting for a price drop on this one.

Steelbook review only
on October 3, 2015
Posted by: Neph
Verified Purchase:Yes
By this point most people have already formed an opinion on Age of Ultron, so I'll leave that for other reviews.
As a steelbook, this is so close to greatness but hampered by some disappointing quality control. It's a smooth matte black with some really well done spot gloss on both the logo and back artwork. The problem is that literally every copy I have seen of both this (and the Vision edition) have misaligned debossing on the front cover.
Debossing on a steelbook means that certain areas of the steel are recessed in order to give the image depth. In this case, the front A has recessed areas that, unfortunately, don't actually follow the image properly.
While not end of the world, especially considering how well done the rest of the steelbook is, it's disappointing that this wasn't corrected at the factory.

Happy to finally pick up Zeb. He was originally exclusive to another store that, in my experience, barely stocked him!

What else can be said? For those that don't want to put their CC details into Nintendo's creaky digital store, these are a nice alternative.
