Love the first game, can't stand part 2! I think it's simply the format. I find the connected world in Toki Tori 2 to be extremely frustrating to navigate whereas the original with more bite sized puzzles was way more enjoyable.
I like to set my own achievements or goals not ones the developer has given me. I actually turn off the achievement notifications because I feel they can really take you out of the experience for example if you are really immersed in a survival horror game like Deadspace.. that pop up cant totally kill the atmosphere or mood at a particular moment.
It makes completely no sense to me why this game is single player when there are clearly 4 main characters that they have shown. It makes me quite a bit worried about the Wii U's online capabilities. You and 3 of your friends clearing levels simultaneously online would be great fun. A big missed opportunity.
Why no mention of cross game chat? It looks like the skype type calling is outside of game... being able to voice chat with a group of friends while playing an online multiplayer game is a key feature and if this is not included it will set the Wii U behind the competition. Did you see a plug-in for a headset on the controllers?
Lets hope this rumor is true, I recently just picked up a 3DS and it is funny how I remember every dialog line from Star Fox 64, that game had a big influence on me growing up...
I never saw this coming.. but I just rented this game and for an on rails shooter wow its BAD!
I feel sorry for the people that have bought it. This game consists of way too many bad rail cinematics where you can't even shoot and you can't skip. On multiple occasions the rail movement will stop and there is no way to progress further so you have to restart the level. You will also see NPCs, enemies, objects and parts of the level load out of thin air. These gliches show me that there is a lack of polish to the game.
Like High Voltage Software with The Conduit, this developer tries too hard to make a "hardcore" game. They end up creating an outdated, none enjoyable experience, which ultimately shows that they fail to understand the Nintendo Wii and fail to take advantage of it's capabilities.
Not enough action, not enough polish, not scary, and overall not an enjoyable experience.
Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles > The House of the Dead: Overkill > Dead Space: Extraction
If you haven't spent any money on this interactive bad movie, don't, save it for RE: The Darkside Chronicles.
Yes I would agree with Metroid Prime Online Multiplayer for the next Nintendo console, it would be amazing ...like I said before I really enjoy playing Prime 2's multiplayer with 4 people.
Wow from that video the graphics, sound, and animations look better! ...but I buy VC games mainly for nostalgic reasons, and seeing how I never played this version I'll stick with the genesis version.
Ok quick question: Is there a better way to jump further? I loose a crazy amount of lives on the boat level trying to jump the last gap even using the jumping ninjutsu and double jumping...
**Update** So I traded in my old Prime games and bought the Trilogy, and yes it has the multiplayer from Prime 2. Still weird that on the box it says number of players "1"...
This game has a lot of potential, I'm still on the fence (ever so slightly). I'll read some reviews before purchasing. Short game length is my biggest worry.
@cr00mz Bomberman Blast was 8 players as well, that was a blast at parties. Just have your friends bring their controllers. A simple game like Driift looks like it would be great at parties for both the casual and veteran gamers.

Can we please get a full comparison between the PC version of La-Mulana and the WiiWare version?
Re: Wii U Memory Can be Easily Expanded With USB Hard Drives

Re: Excitebike: World Rally Coming To WiiWare
If the online runs smoothly (I am still doubtful of Wii's online capabilities) I'll likely pick it up.
Re: A Boy and His Blob
Its a pretty good game so far.. something nice to play at a slow pace; play a few levels at a time.. the difficulty is starting to pick up!!
I got a Blob ball when I picked it up at EB games.

Re: Tekkaman Blade Joins Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom
I don't know any of these Tatsunoko characters but they look bad ass.
Re: Muramasa: The Demon Blade
I am 2 hours into the game, really enjoying it... it definitely has an Okami feel.
It is really cool to see the effects of all the different swords.
Re: The Revenge of Shinobi
Ok quick question: Is there a better way to jump further? I loose a crazy amount of lives on the boat level trying to jump the last gap even using the jumping ninjutsu and double jumping...
Re: New Play Control! Pikmin
Just picked this up, I'm having fun trying to beat it in the fewest days as possible...
Re: Driift Mania
**crosses fingers** US release today?
Re: Toki Tori
Wow the final world is kicking my ass, extremly difficult... first game in a long time I've had this much trouble beating... it hurts my BRAIN!
Re: The Revenge of Shinobi
Holy sh*t I can't beat Godzilla! ...well I never made it past the first boss when I was a kid so this is a step in the right direction...
Re: Metroid Prime Trilogy
**Update** So I traded in my old Prime games and bought the Trilogy, and yes it has the multiplayer from Prime 2. Still weird that on the box it says number of players "1"...
Re: Nintendo Download: Jedis, Drills and Bubbles (US)

My Wii disk drive stops working periodically ...but I come back in 20 minutes and it decides to work agian.
Re: Nintendo Download: Ninjas, Picture Books, Slot Cars, Sudoku and Guitars (US)
Revenge of Shinobi OH YES! (...still waiting for Driift)
Re: Corruption Saves Incompatible with Metroid Trilogy
It still says on Nintendo.com that the amount of players are "yet to be determined" shouldn't we know for sure by now...
Re: Corruption Saves Incompatible with Metroid Trilogy
Any word on the multiplayer component? I am apparently one of the rare people that really enjoyed Prime 2 multiplayer...
Re: Nintendo Download: Bonsai Barber, The Revenge of Shinobi and City Transport Maps (EU)
Now we just need Revenge of Shinobi and Driift Mania to come to NA...
Re: Nintendo Download: Mechas, Sexy Poker, Football and Art (US)

Re: Interviews: Max & the Magic Marker - Press Play
This game has a lot of potential, I'm still on the fence (ever so slightly). I'll read some reviews before purchasing. Short game length is my biggest worry.
Re: Interviews: Driift Mania - Konami
NA release better be on Monday...
Re: Max & the Magic Marker Trailer and Screenshots
I see, Max got a face lift and is using hair gel now.
Re: Incoming Trailer and Screenshots
Sure this isn't a flash game?
Re: Review: Deadly Creatures (Wii)
I had a really bad experience with this game, I encountered a lot of bugs a.k.a. gliches.
Re: Review: Geometry Wars Galaxies (Wii)
Definitely included in my Top 10 Wii games.
Re: Metroid Prime Trilogy
Still says amount of players "yet to be determined" on Nintendo.com... could either mean no multiplayer, or online multiplayer? (I can dream).
Re: The Revenge of Shinobi
When is US going to get this epic game?
Re: DRiiFT MANIA
Yea also a remake of Super Off Road, I can't wait.
Re: Konami Announces WiiWare Plans for Europe
@cr00mz
Bomberman Blast was 8 players as well, that was a blast at parties. Just have your friends bring their controllers. A simple game like Driift looks like it would be great at parties for both the casual and veteran gamers.
Re: Preorder The Conduit at Play.com and get a freebie
This game is a joke, I would only recommend renting it (if at all). I am still hopeful that Red Steel 2 will be a good shooter for the Wii.
