"hypnotic routine" mmmm

Great review James, thanks! Not long now... D:

Who'd a thunk a time would come when news of Nintendo pwning the charts would seem boring.

Awesome!

Spotted the black WSR bundle in HMV today, for a cool £135. Nice!

Wii Fight!

120 squid?! Bargain!

Can't frakking wait! I LOVE floaty 3D shooters! ^.

This is definitely on my 'to-buy' list. But first, it's on my 'to-win' list.

I really like the visuals and theme, I do love me some sci-fi goodness. Bit worried about the pacing though, looked a little slow.

I knew nothing about this game, but now I'm quite intrigued.

Interesting read, thanks. I'd love to work in an office like that!

I'm half tempted, but again... London?

I'll just have to see how much swag I can bag at this MHTri event on Saturday. Wooooh!

I waited ages for iPlayer's 'Hands-on' feature... it never came.

@Token Girl: We'll have to rely on Corbie's impressions I guess. Oh my god he picked the right year to go. Wow!

It's gonna be great, even once we've heard everything there is to know, we still won't fully understand until we've shoved our nose into the thing. I can already see small crowds gathering around demo units in gameshops. The word will spread, and Nintendo will pwn, again.

Best caption ever!

I had a thought though... is it gonna be possible to show off the 3D effect at E3? Obviously it'll be fine for those on the showfloor, but what about the rest of us. 0.o

Huh? Yeah, the ph scale, I got that, but what has that got to do with the word 'basic'?
Oh nevermind. o.0

_{edit: and what has any of this got to do with MHTri D: I wish I'd never said the bloody word now, ha!}

@Swiket: Don't know what phat means huh. Oh well.

This is gonna be so PHAT!!!!

_{I hope I like Monster Hunter, cos I've totally hyped myself up now. ;D}

Thank you Yanagi! I feel better now.

I need to get this, should keep me out of trouble for a while.

One thing though... no romance?

MH3, S&P2 & NMH2 all within a month.

Spring has just been cancelled.

Great news.

Wii is for kids!! Don't forget it! K?

Downloading now. Looks even better than normal. Thanks!

In previous NL Twitter comps I said similar Alex. "Twitter, ew!" I signed up once I realised it could be used as a feed customized entirely to you, saves quite a bit of surfing let me tell you. That's as far as I'm going though, Facebook can f...

I hope you win ltg.

_{don't tell anyone I said that, K!}

@ltg: Copy and paste the entire bolded message up top, then replace XYZ with your Wii#, and let it fly. Tweet tweet! _{oh god that was bad}

@WolfRamHeart: Just sign up with Twitter, and send a tweet. Just give it a go you'll figure it out, it's pretty self explanatory once you're in there.

Good luck to all! _grrr

I used VCR and WWW for some time, it was the only place on the web that had reliable and well written reviews on each. The same can still be said for Nintendo Life, but now it's even better. You guys rock!

Ah ffs! I copied and pasted the message into a tweet, inserted my Wii#, then read the rest of the article. Damn!

Sweet! VC on DSi. YES!

Now that was a statement I enjoyed reading. Go HVS! Make us proud!

@Kirk: You misunderstand me, but I'm used to that.

I iz ready!

I'm fed up of hearing workers complain (be it BA, Nintendo, whoever), there is an easy solution... the door.

Saw an ad for this during Champions League half time. That's more like it!

Dude, they were making games for 10 years prior to The Conduit.

I know some liked the recharge business, but for me it detracts from the fps experience. The 'circle-strafe' dies, and is replaced with the 'shoot, hide, shoot, hide'. Why do you think Halo attracted so many new fans... because it was easier!!!

Each to their own I guess, but...

It was the wrong music. 0.o

Downloading now, thanks!

@mnementh: There's compression, then there's this.

Gorgeous screens! I can see at least three different environments, with at least three different modes of transport. Water, texture and lighting effects, with no fog and a nice draw distance.

You wait ages for a bus, then two come along.

Great news!!!!! Thanks HVS!

Very impressive!

_{edit: I recommend watching it on the metroid site, that youtube vid doesn't do it justice}

Suda + Nintendo = Win to the power of pwn!

I only received the obligatory promotional email from Nintendo this morning, usually they send them out in advance of release. I wonder if they didn't bother and are now reacting to apparent bad sales? Or did they just forget? Hmmm.

Well if he's pwning high scores it means he's off the tranquilizers, which makes me happy. One of my favourite dudes on the planet, he just don't give a ****, and he makes me laugh too.

A sequel that needs to deliver on what the original promised.

Good news I guess, but to me at least, they have a lot to prove. The single player became soulless later on thanks to regenerative health (please HVS, go for health packs or half-life style recharge stations this time, NOT crappy Halo regeneration which removes a large amount of challenge) and uninspired level design (you can't just add more enemies and be done with it). The multiplayer should have been awesome and was, for a week, but then the wall spawn and haxor's took over, ruining the whole thing.

I'm not b1tching, I'm trying to be constructive, I really hope this game delivers the fps I was hoping the first would be.

Oh, and get rid of that dumb conspiracy story, so yawnsome, so very yawnsome.

Picture no funny!

Anyway, this news sucks for the Aussies, but the thing that really p's me off... Americans get everything cheaper than anyone else, yet they whinge more! Grrrr!

@diego_pmc: True with PS360, but as we are told so often, the Wii demographic is completely different. If you want to reach them, a prime-time TV advert would have increased interest in this greatly.

edit: And I mean a proper advert, not Ant & Dec stroking each other whilst waggling a mote.

I daren't play this. I'll have a flashback.

So if I don't buy a game within the first week of it's release, I'm somehow letting the developer down? o.0

I bought Red Steel on day 1 for full price (and got burned). I'm going to buy the sequel, but with a short single player mode and no multiplayer, I'm waiting till it goes down in price. Reading this, I'm guessing that's gonna be sooner than I thought.

@Sean: Considering it has next to no link to the original, a new IP might have been a better idea.

I haz a sad.

Good luck to all the entrants though, that's one sweet prize!

Sounds really good!

I downloaded the PC version, having read this, I might finally install it.

Funny pic Varoennauraa. Says it all!
