Just done some testing. It takes either 2 blades, 2 mines, 3 chainballs, 4 rockets, a ton of fire/cannonballs to kill someone. And all of them take different damage. Mines take the equivilent of 3 rockets for example.
This was with the big ships (Most energy). So maybe 1 of everything is enough to take down a small ship (Least energy), but all it means is, choose the big ships.
Some weapons are faster than others, some reflect/bounce off walls, mines are obvious, flame is more defensive than offensive as anyone wanting to cannon you gets burnt etc...
Bit dissapointed, thought it'd get a 7. It's a fun game with a brilliant local MP. Sure some things are a bit basic, but look at PoP. It's really basic. And since launch I've yet to go back to LW, which has to be the most boring game available to Wii owners.
And personally I'm very glad that they didn't sacrifice (SP) stuff to add crappy WI-FI.
Also, I thought that $2 charge was to restore health?
You love twisting my words, don't you? I used you as an example, that's all. I know you're not the only one.
@ Mr. Cheeze.
I meant Europeans, not me. I never whinge about the releases anymore (Since most of the games I complained about I now own and love).
And as for storage, what Mike just said.
SD = more games. Sure it's a pain, but I don't care.
@ Andrew.
On the forums I am, mainly because I've been told that I'm a damn good Mod. And mainly because people are more tollerent of each others opinions there.
Hell, I pretty much have the rep of being a hardass (Because I'm strict )whose never happy with the releases (Early VCR posts will confirm that I was too a whinger. I just learned some things along the way). And as I hate SM 64, people joke that I have no taste in games.
But while all this goes on, I still get a lot of respect from people as I'm always trying to help, and because of all the work I put into advertising this place.
And I do all of that because I love coming here and because it really helped me with VC purchases. In the same way that I now try to help people with my Youtube vids (Over 260 games reviewed. All 180-ish VC & WW plus others and almost all advertising the VCR, VCF and WWW).
Search for DEIVION212 if you're interested in seeing them (Somebody already had DEMON212 ). They're not perfect, but I've been told by about 700 people that they really help
That's what's so annoying IMO, we never even got SMRPG, so if anyone has the right to whinge about it, it's us, and I commend you for not coming on to do a weekly whinge
Because it's so easy for NA to get it on e-Bay, and before anyone says "it's too exspensive", seeing as SMRPG seems to be about the only game you want on your Wii, a SNES and SMRPG is cheaper than a Wii.
So why buy a Wii in the first place?
@ Rapadash.
Mate, no-matter what there'll be complaints. Because IMO we needed more Beat 'Em Ups because of how many times I've beaten the ones we already had. I don't care about RPG's because FFIII killed my love of the genre. But we do need more.
IMO we need some proper sports games too. We have Blades Of Steel, but where's the other brill Hockey games? Where's Super Soccer and Super Tennis. The VC is crying for a Footie game. Where's Sensie Soccer Euro Champs?
But the fact of the matter is, they can't sort it out all in one go. If they release 50 titles in NA, if so much as one of them is a Ninty game, the other 49 will be overlooked.
Stupid Wii Browser. Anyone got the contact number for Ninty?
Sick of that thing wiping my text. Forgotten what I wanted to post now as well.
Anyway, whinging SM, is basically complaining. But it's ultra complaining that serves no purpose and benefits no one at all. You are complaining to a site that has no conection to Nintendo at all. Therefore every word you type is utterly pointless, as it's not serving a purpose, nor is it ever going to get you what you want.
And can somebody PLEASE! Give me my Mod powers back, because that's twice now that Uncle Smuck has posting things that need either editing or tagging.
@ Rexy.
Exactamundo my fair lady.
It's so irritating to see so many people whinging about no NEO-GEO games, and now they're whinging because that's making up a large portion of what we're getting. I swear down if NA does this with SMRPG I'll scream.
And that's what I used to do myself. I was waiting for ZAMN for so long, that while I was loving the weeks we had, I was still disappointed at no ZAMN. So do you know what I did? Bought a SNES with ZAMN.
And on a final note, I love how quickly people find an excuse to whinge. Last week SM was annoyed that they got a 2 star game, this week he's building himself up to self destruction with anger over a 3 and a 4.
It really is showing that all he wants are Ninty's AAA titles. Because any other AAA title must be like an F- for him.
SM, firstly, less of the Son, as I'm not yours and I'm not the one whinging like a child. Granted Sons don't have to be children, but it's usually used by the elderly talking to young people, but that's a whole different topic.
Secondly, Beat 'Em Ups are considered by most totally different to Fighting games. And while to me I call them all Beat 'Em Ups, Side Scrolling BEU's like SOR are TOTALLY different from BEU's like SFII.
What does the VC class all these as? Because as the VC is the VC, and the VCR is not the VC, what the VC classes them as, are IMO what they are.
Although sometimes it's flawed, as for a long time, Sonic 2 was a puzzler.
@ Virus.
Where was this attitude last week?
That's the type of post I can respect & appreciate
It's still whining, and whining that could've been kept in the NA release post.
Please name these 35 fighters. As Adamant has a U.S Wii and only named 10.
VCR thinks all NG games suck from the scores they've been giving. I can't wait to play these so called truly spectacular games as while Stars 2 is great, I wouldn't say it's leaps and bounds better than most of these so called 2 Star games. And Shodown, the other 5, stinks when compared to Fatal or Art.
Rexy never said it was a bad week, he said it was disappointing. If you expect and hope that a game gets a 10/10 but it only gets a 9.9, it's not a bad score, but you'd most likely be disappointed.
I'm disappointed that Harrier, IK+ and Chase H.Q didn't come out, but IMO it's still a good week. And as I mentioned before, a lot of the whinging isn't coming from us.
But what if you're either a large fan of the genre or the series? Should they maybe only release 1 RPG, 1 FPS, 1 Beat 'Em Up etc... And just say "FPS fans get this 1 game, RPG fans etc..."?
Oh, and BTW that RPG wouldn't be SMRPG, Chrono or Earthbound.
Objection, the thing I noticed straight away wasn't the frame rate, it was that the wheels don't spin. IMO it's pretty crap to be driving a tyre that doesn't spin.

Re: Top 20 WiiWare Games in America (23rd July)
@ Dazza.
Konami SNES ERA they were amazing. Now, they're still my faves devs, but I'm noticing a lot of poor quality crap coming from them.
However CAPCOM always try there best, so MM9 should rock.
Re: Review: Pirates - The Key of Dreams (WiiWare)
So I assume GR gave Dr. M a 1? Because in comparison, Dr. M makes this play better than OOT.
One of the 3 games I'd ever give a 10 and IMO the greastest game ever to exist. All hail OOT!
Re: Animales de la Muerte - More Information
Game gore has yet to make me feel even the slightest bit queesy, and it's never made me do anything negative at all. Usually I just think "cool".
Re: Animales de la Muerte - More Information
@ Corbie 1.
Yeah, but I'm so glad they did.
IMO it looks like that atrocious Monster Madness, so I hope it's better. But the Zombies look like they're straight from Conker's BFD.

I believe that Shipwreckers is Overboard with a different name, right? If so, we've been saying that since the first screenshot appeared.

Finally, some Americans happy with the releases
W00T!
@ Roboto.
It's not a demo, it's a prequel.
Re: Review: Pirates: The Key of Dreams
Yeah, that's what I thought.
But yeah, I'm all for Pirates 2 on WW with a few more multi player options like teams, new weapons, more ships etc...
I'd want that more than what we have but online.
Re: EU WiiWare Update: Pirates and SPOGS Racing
I haven't a clue how to buy AU points, so I just done the smart thing, bought the Axelay cart, lol.
Re: Datel Release Retro Controllers for Virtual Console
Looks really uncomfortable.
Re: Review: Pirates: The Key of Dreams
I think it's a prequel. I'd hope so, because I'm not keen on paying £7 on a demo and then another £18 for a lil bit more of it.
Re: Review: Pirates: The Key of Dreams
Totally with Panda.
Almost ever WW is overpriced by tons, but I wouldn't say that this is one of them.
I've had tons more fun with this than LW, T.V, Dr. M, SSR & PoP. All of which should be 500 points.
Re: Review: Pirates: The Key of Dreams
Don't you mean you can have a frame by frame game etc...?
I'm glad that no one's added online. NWFC sucks. It's laggier than XBL by far, and XBL is baaaaad.
All added it does is takes room away from other stuff. P:TKOD + Online = 5 missions and 3 variations for 4 MP Maps. Instead of 10, 5 & 7.

But I take it then that that will be your last reply in this post?

I said "he". I said "he" to Rexy whom happens to be a "she". That's why she mentioned it, to inform myself whom called her "he".
So to Rexy, I apologise, didn't know, won't happen again
Now, back to Mike. Rexy wasn't whinging! You were, she wasn't. Super Mario is, I was not. Get it?
And I'll go one better, I won't tell you lot to shut your yaps whinging in your posts, if YOU DON'T COME INTO OURS TO WHINGE!
@ Tony, MM has 7 levels, so you'd get 3 and some sound.

Re: EU VC Releases - 11th July - Neo Geo Duo
Mario, KOTM isn't a Fighter. Also, I take it you've played it to know that it sucks?
And you've completely misread my above post.
I wasn't saying on a weekly basis get 1, I was saying maybe if we had 1 period.
No SMRPG just BOF II. No Art 2, just SFII. No PPL just Puyo Puyo II. 1 game per genre, period.
@ Adamant. I've been told there's also close to 100 SHMUPS, lol.
@ Objection. What's wrong with TG? Oh, that's right, it's no Ninty.
Any chance you guys can leave the whinging in your own threads? (It seems that the majority of people complaining at this release are in NA)
Re: EU VC Releases - 11th July - Neo Geo Duo
I'll give you Tekken advance and 5, but the others don't come close to SFII. Hell those 2 don't come close to SFII, but they are at least playable.

Re: EU VC Releases - 11th July - Neo Geo Duo
I don't think we've ever had a routine, people just call similar weeks routine.
We're still getting VC>WW>VC etc... though, so I suppose that's routine. It'll take more than 5 weeks though to convince me that it is.
And as you've so rightly said, NC isn't a Fighter, so 1 Fighter and what W/E it is (Action?), is still variety.
