I don't really understand what that means. It's pointless having HD anway unless the devlopers actually spend the time to make the games look good in the first place. A couple of developers (including Factor 5) have said that the Wii is capable of so much more.
Yeah same here. Both bowling and baseball are very simple games in real life so don't need a massive in depth game. I probably just annoyed fans of both sports but I don't see much about them. We really need Pro Evolution and a Rugby (Union) game on the Wii then the sports would be complete.
Nice article. I haven't got any games for the VC yet and probably would have skimmed over the likes of R-Type. Donkey Kong will still be my first purchase though, I don't remember it being shallow but quite hard and fast paced, but maybe that is because of nostalgia.
There will be some around that won't have to be imported soon so I would wait for them. MadCatz or some wellknown brand will no doubt be finishing one now.
I would bid a real amount, unfortunately that amount would be around the £60 mark. Those people who ruined are total losers. Ebay does need to find a way to limit this.
A gimmick, definetaly not. I went to play on my my xbox today after a while of not playing and it seemed foreign to me to use a d-pad and buttons etc. The wii has really changed my way of thinking when it comes to console gaming, and that quickly. A gimmick could not do that.
When I'm hooked back up the internet (with my Wii) I'm definetaly getting this. I've never played it but loved the SNES and GC versions. I still say bring back the original Mario Kart. And £8 is a huge amount!
The Wii game's cover art is the best of all consoles I think. It might be the smooth white cases which makes them look simple and clean. I only wish the green right-angled triangle was't there.
It needs a massive Mario face on them. If I going to go out and buy Nintendo! trainers I would only go the whole way and be proud in my geekware. So half-arsed clothing for me.
A pretty strange control scheme. I thought the wiimote would control most of the turning, you know with it being identical almost to an actual snowboard. Who knows, I guess it works best they way.
When I saw the link earlier I though it was real and did ponder whether I would buy it. The strap on part may be far fetched but a Leisure Suit game could work I guess, although it may test the boundaries of virtual sex and see some warped kids in the future.
Heh an expensive fad. Things like yo-yos and fingerboards are fads, people don't mind spending a couple of quid and then everyone gets one. The Wii is more like a gaming console, oh wait; it is!
I don't have much experience of sites being broken. The occasional one where they see Opera and reject you but thats not the browsers fault. Its always the web designers fault
Today I was bored so I actually tried throwing my remote with the strap on at a cushion. I didn't throw it very hard but it was still an actual throw and it didn't break. How do people break it I still don't understand.
The battery life would worry me if I actually wanted one, 48hr battery life using "extended" batteries. I know in a few days I have played over 48hrs already meaning a battery change. And the stated battery life is never as long as they say; 48hrs would probably it being on but not used. Can't someone just make a cable extension?
Cool. Have do the A/B buttons work I couldn't quite make it out. Hopefully a new Knockout game will come out that works with two gloves Oh yeah he sucks at Shooting Range.
Every game on multiplayer is great. It is most game played atm. Boxing is great with mates, Tennis is cool but I haven't worked out all the aiming just yet, Baseball is good but quite limited, Bowling is good again but it is just bowling (I'm not a massive fan), Golf is really nice, fun to get better at. Overall, awesome.
I like the idea of the wiimote as a snowboard. You can time those jumps perfectly by jolting the mote up. Hopefully the game will bring something new to the genre other than the control scheme.
Wow that does sound exactly like the wii. I thought they would have at least changed it in some way. I can't believe the blatant copying but it does show what they think of the Wii and motion sensing is the future so its good to move forward with all consoles.
I have read so many interpretations of Red Steel it definately is getting confusing. I am still going to get it but am really aprehensive. Hopefully in a few months my Japanese will be up to scratch to read the magazine that everyone goes on about.
It could be a faulty strap which hopefully won't occur often. Lets just remember to hold on and dry our hands often. I am still going to wary of letting my non-gamer noob friends touch my peripherals
For it to snap he must have thrown the wiimote quite hard, and yeah if you are using it like that hold on to it! Like one comment on that site says: do tennis rachets come with straps? no.

Re: New Super Paper Mario Wii Details
"Princess Peach has been kidnapped!" - I didn't see that happening
Re: Fight Night Could Be Coming To Wii...
Brilliant!
Wii Boxing is probably my favourite of the five, so much more could be done with a proper boxing game.

Re: Mario Party 8 Details
All pretty standard really. Not much new information that isn't out already. Although it is nice to see the box art. I can't wait.
Re: The First Wii-Chargeable Wiimote Battery

Re: Alternate Marios
That one there aNt is very nice. I'm going to get a print of that to hang on my wall definitely
Re: Dj Wiij
Looks like it works well, but I don't know anything about DJing so it could just be an awkward gimmick.
Re: Super Paper Mario, Wii, April
A must buy, every since I saw a movie of it aages ago, and that was on the GC. Can't wait to see it wii-fied.
Re: Wii Prototypes
I think the star pad would be more damaging than the wiimote now. It's a freaking frisbee, I would actually want to throw it into my tv.
Re: Huge NES Auction Spoilt
I would bid a real amount, unfortunately that amount would be around the £60 mark. Those people who ruined are total losers. Ebay does need to find a way to limit this.

Re: You Say Elebits, I Say Eledees
aha L.E.D.'s I didn't notice that at all. I still can't see why they changed it but it is a good choice of a new name.
Re: Wii Sales Continue To Surge Into The New Year
Heh an expensive fad. Things like yo-yos and fingerboards are fads, people don't mind spending a couple of quid and then everyone gets one. The Wii is more like a gaming console, oh wait; it is!
Re: Japan Virtual Console Gets Mario Kart 64
I can't wait. I'm still suprised there hasn't been a Wii Mario Kart announced. It is still nice to hear some new Wii news early this year.
Re: Wii Schedule 2007
Quite a few there I'm interested in. And Blazing Angels is among the top even though it doesn't get much press.
Re: Wii Wish You A Rabbid Christmas
lol great movie. the whole advertisement campaign is making tne game at the top of my list
Re: Free Opera Browser From Friday 22nd December
I don't have much experience of sites being broken. The occasional one where they see Opera and reject you but thats not the browsers fault. Its always the web designers fault
Re: Free Opera Browser From Friday 22nd December
Opera is the best browser imo. It's the best choice for Wii especially if it keeps mouse/remote movements.
Re: Nintendo NOT Recalling Wrist Straps
Today I was bored so I actually tried throwing my remote with the strap on at a cushion. I didn't throw it very hard but it was still an actual throw and it didn't break. How do people break it I still don't understand.
Re: Record Breaker!
LOL on the pic aNt.
Sony's comment is a really bitchy, but they have a reason to, they are worried about the Wii vs their system.
Re: Sega Announces Alien Syndrome
Good to see some RPG's for the Wii
Re: UK Wii Sells 50,000 In 12 Hours
That girl is fit. Nintendo could sell even more if she was on the box
Re: Wireless Sensor Bar For Wii

Re: Wii Has The Power...
Cool. Have do the A/B buttons work I couldn't quite make it out. Hopefully a new Knockout game will come out that works with two gloves
Oh yeah he sucks at Shooting Range.

Re: Wii Go Online Second Quarter Of 2007
SECOND quarter? oh come on!
Re: Reggie Talks Mii And MMORPG
I can picture playing World of Warcraft (Wii) now; my cute Mii running around with a huge axe haha
Re: Reggie Acts Cool Again
I wonder what Reggie thinks of having such a large fanbase, largely male...
Re: HMV Chosen As Partner For Wii Launch
Damn it. I wish I was at home I would definetely go. If only just to me Wrighty. He's my hero hehe.
Re: Can You Handle The Wii Pain?
I'm looking forward to getting some exercise while I play my games. I find this hilarious!
Re: Red Steel 2 Rumoured
I haven't even played the first one yet!
I hope it is more centred on swords as thats the part that got me interested in the game.
Re: Elebits Will Take Advantage Of Connect24
Awesome!
Online multiplayer with user created levels that are also playable online. Brilliant. I look forward to playing you lot at "my house" haha
Re: Famitsu Wii Scores
I have read so many interpretations of Red Steel it definately is getting confusing. I am still going to get it but am really aprehensive.
Hopefully in a few months my Japanese will be up to scratch to read the magazine that everyone goes on about.
Re: Virtual Console To Get Game Updates?
I really hope this does come true. Online emulated games are already possible so it shouldn't be too hard for the giant developer to do the same.
Re: Use Your DS For Midi?
pretty neat. And its free!
Homebrew software is brilliant. It's great people take the time to do these things.

Re: Nintendo Originally Planned $100 Wii
I don't think the Wii would have been taken seriously if it was $100 or £70. I'm glad they made a better machine even though its more expensive.
Re: Wii Demand Grows
I like most people am praying that I get mine. I must not oversleep!
Re: Two New Zelda Trailers
Does anyone look at these graphics and complain? It looks beautiful!
Re: Street Figther Returns To The Big Screen
Chung Li is hot!. She is the best character for the protaganist. I hope they cast someone who does her justice, oh and can kick 100 times a second.
