You may remember that we ran a series of videos over E3 where the GamesRadar UK team sat around a table and discussed the biggest news events of the previous day. The format was simple - five topics, with one minute each to discuss them. It had a bell and everything. Well, by popular demand, these videos (and the bell) are returning every Monday to get you up to speed for the week! So, to kick us off, today's topics are:

  • CliffyB says everyone will buy a Wii U
  • Sega to release limited edition %26pound;154.99 Metal Sonic statues in UK
  • Sony has a surprise coming this Friday
  • Marvel vs Capcom 3 has a potential announcement at ComicCon
  • Iwata wants more adult-oriented Wii U games.

Ready... go!


Incidentally, the Metal Sonic statue is actually made of resin, not metal after all. Wishful thinking on Justin's part, sadly. Must've heard the word 'metal' one too many times in his long-haired life...
