I loved SM3, and Murasame Castle was a good addition IMO, though I see some hated it. I'm a sucker for finding hidden items in stages. I went to WIkipedia and looked up Masamune Date, I loved that when I was reading it, I actually knew who they were, and what war they fought in.

I'm trying to decide between purchasing Boom Blox or Mercury Meltdown: Revolution. Can you guys help me decide which one to buy, or is there a better retail puzzler title available for Wii?

Other than the dark color palette, is there anymore reason to purchase Boom Blox over it's sequel Bash Party @vonseux? I've done some research and Bash Party receives higher ratings everywhere I look. (<:

This sounds like the second BOOM BLOX game, Bash Party, is probably the better one. More game modes and advanced tech. It might just have a darker tone / different setting for some people. I think I should be getting both (because at least they each have tons of different stages) if I can get them for cheap. The game was an idea by Steven Spielberg, wasn't it?

Mercury Meltdown was a soulless depressing experience, at least it was for me based on the 2 hours I played of it.
I'd avoid at all costs unless you want to catch a Wii STD. lol

Anyways, the original Boom Blox has been added to my list of games to get hehe.
Yet I can't seem to gather up the muster fuster to try out Cursed Mountain, OR De Blob especially.

Yes @SKTTR, it is a Steven Spielberg production. I geuss I'll be purchasing both as well, but I'm going to snatch up a copy of Bash Party first. Thanks for the warning @WaveBoy, I think I'll pass on Mercury Meltdown. The screenshots did look a trifle blah. (<:

@WaveBoy, did you know you Bash Party can download some of the puzzles from the original Boom Blox through the EA servers?

Ive made some comments of how i like the original much better, I reccomend only the first one.
Mercury Meltdown is not that bad, but anything over $10 is too much
Have you think about Kororimpa?

I'm eventually going to pick up Boom Blox as well @vonseux, but copies of Bash Party are disappearing quickly at Amazon. And you really can't find a new copy for less than $30 w/shipping, or can you? Boom Blox is still in stock from a few different sellers and the price won't increase that much in the future. (<:

Why only recommend the original @vonseux? Even nintendolife has stated that Bash Party is the better version.

It's bigger, but has no charm

Kind of like Mega Man 10 when compared to the the charm infested MM9.

@vonseux I've changed my mind and pre-ordered a copy of Fishing Resort instead. I'll save myself $10 this way and I'm fairly sure I'll enjoy it more than Bash Party. I've been playing Muramasa and Elebits so much, I probably wouldn't have enough time for Boom Blox anyways. (<:

For anyone who requires many hours of use from their WiiMotes, I would definitely recommend purchasing some Sanyo eneloop AA rechargeable batteries. They hold a charge for over 3 years and can be recharged up to 1500X. A much better alternative compared to anything else currently available on the market and 4 AA batteries w/charger only set me back $19.10¢
The rechargeable battery pack I'm currently using only has 500 mAh and the Sanyo's I'll be recieving are 2000 mAh. (<:

@WiiAboutU: Dude go back CLICK ON THE EDIT BUTTON of your last post rather than do 20 posts in a row.

Tasuki, no need to shout or exaggerate.

@WiiAboutU Please use the Edit button in future instead of double or triple posting. Cheers.

Sorry didnt mean it as shouting there.

Sorry, I cleaned it up a bit. )<:
But does anyone know if 2000 mAh rechargeable batteries last longer between recharges than 500 mAh?

Yeah, they last much longer.
I bought a rechargable battery pack when the Wii came out in 2006. 4 rechargable 2700 batteries included. They still work. I bought 6 more, because I have 4 Wiimotes now, and always need to have 2 extra to recharge, while the other 8 are in use for the 4 Wiimotes.

So 10 batteries, 8 are in the Wiimotes, 2 are in the recharger. As soon as one Wiimote is empty, I exchange the batteries.
It's the best solution imo, much greener than wasting thousands normal batteries or those unofficial "Wii charge stands" that easily break and are of no use other than using it for Wiimotes.

Thanks @SKTTR, that's great news to hear. I really need to buy some more WiiMotes. I wish I could find some with the built in Motion Plus, for a lower price than I've seen. I had a blue one, but GameStop has it now. Yeah, I purchased an Energizer induction charger w/2 rechargeable battery packs and one pack lost it's juice in less than 3 months. I could kick myself for spending 30+ dollars on it, what a waste of money for such a small amount of convenience. I'm glad I smartened up and purchased those Sanyo eneloops this time around. (<:
