I may be wierd, but I happen to LIKE the classic controller, and I'd rather chose it to play games, such as Mario Kart Wii when I'm feeling competitive, and Brawl as my reg controller. I also am using those Nyko recharge packs, but I don't like them because of the grips, and the fact you have to put the Wiimotes in the charger JUST RIGHT to get them to charge.
And 30 minutes playing time is WAAAAAAAAAAY too short!
No Demon212, we made that there English language more better now, ya hear? And we're a lot better with autistic people than other countries; we baste with light gravy, and serve on a bed of lettuce with a bottle of Rolling Rock.
I had no problems with last weeks release. Both games were decent shooters for the Genesis. They didn't release anything that people have wanted for months though. And before that, with the release of Donkey Kong 3, we all wanted something different. And it has been that way all summer long. We want something, and Nintendo releases something else that's decent, but not what we wanted. I have a reason to gripe, Chase H.Q is short and frusterating, Art of Fighting 2 will kill you then rape you (I haven't played Chase H.Q, I have played all of the Art of Fighting series). At least I'm not whiny enough to make comments like "oh that is it blah blah blah, I'm gona sell my Wii THIS time bcuz Nintendo didn't let us download that one game blah blah blah".
Oh, and if you complain that games are relased too long over there in Britain, why don't you just move to America? We speaka your language AND we get games released faster than you. Our games also run at 60hz!
All I'm saying is that this week's games are terrible, just like the last couple weeks of games, and if you want me to stop complaining, just ask.
Now not to sound rude, but I've gotta leave now, I need to get ready for my dentist appointment, which is at ten. Pearly whites yay!
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!! Now that that's out of my system, I can go ahead to tell you that THIS WEEK IS BORING!! Where's my SMRPG? My Earthbound? My SMK? Where's ANY of the Pilotwings series? How bout some nice imports like Mario's Super Picross? Art of Fighting is okay, but why do these companies give us trash when we fork over our hard earned money? I'm also pretty sure we're gonna see a boatload of crap the next week too.
I'm just really irritated at NOA. I know they can't release blockbusters every week, but when was the last time they released something TRULY noteworthy?
The N64 version of the game was panned for it's poor graphics, lack of unlockables and lack of variouis modes to play on (you got single race, race throught all the tracks Exotica mode and multiplayer). While I can deal with the graphics, and I liked some of the zany cars they cut out, and having played the game, it is way too easy, mainly because in Exotica mode, you have unlimited continues, whereas at the arcade where I can play an actual Cruis'n Exotica arcade machine, the service guys have the difficulty cranked up there, and am limited by the amount of quarters I have, and the common sense to ask myself if I really want to put another quarter in just to get 3rd on the next track. In summary: Cruis'n Exotica is faithful to the arcade game, too faithful, and for it, it wacks off some things that made the game good.
Bass is right. The list is surprisingly free of Stunt Race FX, you could go ahead and replace F1-ROC (Exhaust Heat) with it. Excitebike 64 is really fun, I'll get it when it comes out. Super Mario Kart, best racing game of all time would be another name for it. All-in-all, great list! Racing games are my favorite, and SMK is probably in my top 5 list. @ Mr. Cheez: Crus'n Exotica for the N64 was teribble! Why do you want it? The arcade version is waaaaaaaaay better.
Super Fantasy Zone and Glay Lancer are pretty good games, but I just suck at shooter games, so I'll wait until next week to see what VC gaming goodness is coming out.
EDIT: @Firebrand- I will buy Wii Music for the sole fact that it has F-Zero music.
160 Bucks?!? HOLYCRAPTHATSREALLYEXPENSIVE!!! I mean jeez! I could get a good three Wii Games or 15,000 Wii points and a couple energy shots for that much!!
Oh well. It's happened before that Nintendo has registered games on the ESRB before then ripped them off the list, or still haven't released registered games. Not too much of a loss

Re: USA WiiWare Update: Pong Toss

Re: Mario's Super Picross
I'd love for this to come to Northa America, It looks like a real addictive puzzler.
By the way, how do you pronounce "Picross"? Is it PIE-cross or PIH-cross?
Re: Cybernator
I dunno why, but the music in the video made me feel uncomfortable... Game looks great though! i'll buy this one sooner or later.
