Darn you Americans, spelling all of your words differently! (just so you know, the American English is derived from British English, not the other way around.) On a less nerdy note, I'd love to get this game, but there are just so many other amazing Wii games I need to get first. SMG2, NSMBWii, Smash Bros Brawl, MKWii, Metroid Other M, Goldeneye, etc.
Looks completely awesome! I'm not a big fan of insanely hard games, but this just sounds too good to miss! By the way, is the WiiWare version exactly the same as the XBLA version, online leaderboards and all?
Nice. I might think about getting this. Good review, Corbs (I swear every game you review gets a 9 or 10!). One question though: Is the Main Game the only mode or are there any other extras? (I know about collecting feathers and beating times.)
"It's a much darker episode in our hero's life, and is full of depressing themes, dreary hidden messages, sad music, and an overall gloomy theme. YOU'LL LOVE IT!"
Awesome.
Anyway, I can't wait to get this when I get a Wii, and I'm glad it's only 800 points.
"God I hope Conduit 2 turns out good... So that peripherals like this are more commonplace. Wii so badly needs it's own Halo/Killzone to give its hardcore image a push. So far we've had games that prove the concepts work, but not many that actually have depth and ambition. C2 looks to be such a game, with everything I've heard they are really pushing this one."
I agree. However C2 turns out though, I don't think it's going to get enough recognition to change many people's image of the Wii.
When the 3DS has been out for a few months, that's the time to start doing surveys. There's not much point asking people for their opinions on a machine that they haven't even held in their hands yet, IMO. And trust me, as soon as they do, they'll take back what they said about the price.
This is great and all, but I'm very annoyed with the devs for not giving the Wii version online play. I'd still buy the game without online, but what possible motive is there to stop the Wii version having online? Why are people determined to make the Wii look worse than other consoles?
@Chicken Brutus I hope you are well-paid to do this job, because it's gotta be hard putting up with this junk. Plus, your reviews are the best, they always make me LOL!
Wii Party isn't the sort of thing I'd like. I can imagine playing it once and then leaving it to collect dust (I'd never be able to get my family to play it).

Re: Review: TrackMania (Wii)
Not really my kind of racing game. Might get it one day when the price is low, but I doubt it.

Re: Review: Kirby's Epic Yarn (Wii)
KIRBY'S A GUY??? O_O
@GamesX99 Of course it got a 10, it was reviewed by Corbie (a great review nonetheless).
Re: Review: G.G Series: Super Hero Ogre (DSiWare)
Re: GoldenEye Storyline Trailer Takes Us Behind the Scenes
I never played the original Goldeneye (wasn't alive then) but I'd love to try this. I'd also love to see the videos.
Re: Time to Nurture a Few Animal Resort Game Details
This actually looks alright!
Re: Wii Remote Plus Launching in Europe Before Japan
@ninjaboy1212 They already did that. Or were you making some kind of joke that I didn't get?
Re: First Impressions: Super Meat Boy
Looks completely awesome! I'm not a big fan of insanely hard games, but this just sounds too good to miss! By the way, is the WiiWare version exactly the same as the XBLA version, online leaderboards and all?
Re: Gamers Can Now Pre-Order the Limited Edition Red DSi XL
This is a little off-topic, but has anyone else noticed that you hardly ever use the Mega Mushroom in NSMB?
Re: FlingSmash with Wii Remote Plus Bounding to Europe
@NL On the Nintendo site it says the Wiimote Plus will come to Europe in early November in four colours, Black, White, Blue and Pink.
Re: Nintendo Download: 15th October (Europe)
Other than Sonic (and maybe QuickPick), another crap week. Count yourself lucky, Americans! At least your DSiWare doesn't suck.
Re: Brush Up on Your Super Mario Bros. Glitches, Tips and Tricks
Well if I had been able to watch the video I am sure it would have been good.
Re: New Conduit 2 Trailer Suitably Full of Bombs, Bullets and Bombast
@JimLad Cool glitch.
@Doubters Please review the game AFTER it has come out (not talking to those of you who are judging the trailer).
I don't care if this is slightly generic as long as it's fun, but I am hoping it won't be too similar to XBOX shooters.
Re: New Donkey Kong Country Returns Screenshots Beat their Chests
Great. The next few months look awesome for the Wii!
Re: Conduit 2 Ready for Action in February 2011
@pixelman Did you just say you thought Goldeneye's graphics looked better? Are you joking?
Anyway, this looks awesome. Halo on Wii, people!
Re: Details of Doctor Who Titles Emerge from the TARDIS
@Raylax Yeah, you pretty much summed up what I was thinking. BTW, love the Sensei avatar!
Re: Fans to Have Direct Input in Mega Man Legends 3 Project
Sensei (pictured) and Komaki have been the most popular choices, and they were the two I liked. If I had to choose I'd probably go for Komaki.
Re: Stand Back, This chick chick BOOM Video is About to Go Off
Awesome! @James Your articles are always hilarious. First sentence made me LOL.
Re: Review: Ivy the Kiwi? Mini (DSiWare)
Nice. I might think about getting this. Good review, Corbs (I swear every game you review gets a 9 or 10!). One question though: Is the Main Game the only mode or are there any other extras? (I know about collecting feathers and beating times.)
Re: Fans to Have Direct Input in Mega Man Legends 3 Project
I wonder who I should choose...
This is cool of Capcom to let us decide.
Re: Unconventional Camera Work will Capture the Action in Last Story
Whatever this thing is, I like it!
Re: BIT.TRIP FATE Coming October 25th
"It's a much darker episode in our hero's life, and is full of depressing themes, dreary hidden messages, sad music, and an overall gloomy theme. YOU'LL LOVE IT!"
Awesome.
Anyway, I can't wait to get this when I get a Wii, and I'm glad it's only 800 points.
Re: Black Ops Wii Headset Beats Game to Retail Shelves
"God I hope Conduit 2 turns out good...
So that peripherals like this are more commonplace.
Wii so badly needs it's own Halo/Killzone to give its hardcore image a push.

I agree. However C2 turns out though, I don't think it's going to get enough recognition to change many people's image of the Wii.
Re: Japanese 3DS Surveys Reveal Awareness Low, Price Too High
When the 3DS has been out for a few months, that's the time to start doing surveys. There's not much point asking people for their opinions on a machine that they haven't even held in their hands yet, IMO. And trust me, as soon as they do, they'll take back what they said about the price.
Re: Review: Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light (DS)
I won't be buying this, but it still looks awesome. Good review BTW.
Re: You Can Play the Tron Wii Game with this Tron Wii Controller
Yes please. I wish it came with built-in MotionPlus, but oh well.
Re: This Lego Wii Remote Won't Brick Your Wii
No thanks, but this is cool.
Re: Review: NBA Jam (Wii)
This is great and all, but I'm very annoyed with the devs for not giving the Wii version online play. I'd still buy the game without online, but what possible motive is there to stop the Wii version having online? Why are people determined to make the Wii look worse than other consoles?
Re: Super Scribblenauts' UK Marketing Scheme Involves Eggs
So...many...egg puns.........<collapses>
Re: Piracy Not to Blame for Poor Software Sales, Says Iwata
@uel Wrong! I have NSMB and MK. But you still win my respect cos you're the only one who tried.
Re: New Sonic Colours Wii Trailer Shows Off Multiplayer Action
Cool, I like the art style.
Re: Review: Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 (WiiWare)
Great review, still think it was a completely stupid idea to release it in episodes though.
Re: Rumour: Cell Chip Could Power Wii Successor
Will there even be a "Wii 2" or will Nintendo go down a different route (holograms, headsets, mind control)?
Re: Sonic Colours DS Includes Leaderboards and Online Multiplayer
Good to hear.
Re: Super Scribblenauts' UK Marketing Scheme Involves Eggs
"Intelligent Eating Eggs with Super Scribblenauts branding will allow us to reach new audiences and broaden the market for the game."
Good thinking. Everybody loves eggs!
Re: n-Space CEO Describes the Games Industry as a Mess
Just spotted a mistake. You said Goldeneye is for the DS but it's actually for the Wii (I think).
@Egg miester I totally agree with you.
Re: Review: Triple Jumping Sports (WiiWare)
@Chicken Brutus I hope you are well-paid to do this job, because it's gotta be hard putting up with this junk. Plus, your reviews are the best, they always make me LOL!
Re: Review: Datamine (DSiWare)
Nah. Next DSiWare I'm buying will be Shantae, Zenonia, Thorium Wars, Aura-Aura Climber, Cave Story and KuBos.
Re: Target Toss Pro: Lawn Darts T-Shirt Competition Winners
Cool, some proper users won this time. Congrats, people.
Re: Nintendo Download: 11th October 2010 (North America)
Good week for NA, but not much that I would download.
Re: Wii Party Enters UK Charts at Number Ten
Wii Party isn't the sort of thing I'd like. I can imagine playing it once and then leaving it to collect dust (I'd never be able to get my family to play it).
Re: NBA Jam Man Disappointed by Gamers' Negative Attitudes
I hate fanboys who call people noobs and are cocky.

Re: Confirmed: Red Wii and DSi XL Consoles Reach Europe This Month
Hooray! I am buying this ASAP. Finally, I'm gonna have a Wii.
Re: Piracy Not to Blame for Poor Software Sales, Says Iwata
I have two of the games pictured. If guess which ones and get it right, you win my respect! (Hint: It's obvious)
Re: Shantae Soundtrack Doing Great, Thanks to You
Hey, Wayforward! Here's a good way to make more money: BRING SHANTAE TO EUROPE.
I am dying to play this, what's the hold up?
Re: Redbox Rental Kiosks to Begin Distributing Wii Games
This is a great idea, vending machines that let you rent games! Hope something like this becomes available in Europe, it could catch on.
Re: North America Cools Down with Club Nintendo Folding Fans
Who buys this stuff?
Re: This Christmas is Critical for Wii, Admits Iwata
The Wii will probably do much better in the US than in Europe, but I think I'll buy a Wii for Christmas this year (the red SMB one).
Re: Don't Expect Any 3DS Titles From Epic Games Anytime Soon
@BrainBoxLtd Nice comment. I'm against any developer that emphasises graphics over gameplay. That's why they're games, not movies.
Re: A Duo of Doctor Who Titles Regenerate in November
No thanks. These aren't the kind of Who games I'd like. I expect the Wii version will be high on cutscenes and low on content.
