Harsh review! I've played the Japanese version to death. Its awesome! Time flies when playing this game. 30 minutes feels like 5. The biggest problem with it though, it the time limit for each puzzle get too short at the end of the game. Neverless, still a 9/10 from me..
Woah, went out and bought this after this review, but cant agree! The interface is very clunky, to solve the simplist puzzle is more difficult that it needs to be because of the annoying controls. The only good things are the inclusion of colour picross puzzles, which is a first for games I believe, and the huge amount of puzzles. Shame it doesn't use the picross DS control scheme!
Wii Fit will beat this record and everything else - It's what people bought the Wii for their parents for! That's if Nintendo can put enough on shelves of course..
I wonder where the games will be stored? The DS doesn't have support for a memory card or anything! Will the games need to be started from the Wii each time, or perhaps it will require a special GBA or DS cart to save the games... Time will tell!
It's only a plastic shell - I think $20 is about right for a tiny target shooting game. I hear it doesn't feel good to use too. I'll find out when mine arrives anyway.
I'd be shocked if that happened Sammy. The PS3 is a weaker console than the xbox 360, which has a larger community already. That said, there aren't many exclusives on the xbox, other than Halo and Gears of War..
Either way, I'll have all 3 so don't mind in the slightest
Just found out that some USB keyboards are now supported for messaging. I don't have one lying around to test this though, anyone else got this working after the update?
How can the BBFC say that as an adult, I'm still not mature enough to play a game or watch a film. How did they manage to play it themselves without going insane or starting a brutal serial killing rampage? Stop this madness, censoring for children is important, no argument, but adults, no way!
I think Wii play is good fun! The one player game will only last about 20 minutes. However, with 2 players, it becomes incredibly competitive! It successfully teaches beginners about the new method of control possible. That said, Wii Play is really short, I'd be a little more generous at 7/10.

@UltimateOtaku91 👋
I'm still alive and kicking! Still a huge Nintendo fan.
Congrats Ant and the team for surviving and thriving for 20 years! Here's to another 20 🍻
Re: E3 2010: Nintendo 3DS
Worth it for the 3D camera alone!

Re: Review: Rittai Picross (DS)
Great stuff, but why not a 10/10?

Re: Picross Hits the Third Dimension
Ooo! Can't wait to try it!
Re: Man Destroys TV With Wii Remote, Cries For Mama
Ouch! and just one ball before getting a perfect game!
Re: SEGA To Publish The Conduit?
Awesome!!
From the videos i've seen of it, The Conduit looks like it's a Metroid Prime and Medal of Honour beater in terms of Wii controls.
Re: Disaster: Day of Crisis IS ALIVE!
Why didn't they show it at E3?
I can't wait - a new game!!
Re: Rumour: New Wii SKU? Hard Drive Perhaps?
It's probably something minor, like a disc case for Wii Sports. Adding Wii remote jackets and changing the wrist strap changed the SKU in the past.

Re: Finally – You Can Now Play Imports On Your Wii
This would be amazing if it installed as a channel like an 'import disc channel' Disc swapping annoys me!
Re: Mr. Brown Partial To A Wii Bit Of Tennis
Strange - I read that as saying "People need to be aware that games are not just for kids" and make him right.
Re: Review: 42 All-Time Classics
Great game - especially multiplayer!
Re: Wiimote Used For VR Research
WOW
Re: Wii Fit Gets Its Own Wii Mat
It's probably more to protect your knees and feet if you have a wooden floor.
Re: First Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Details
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=RkBiYpD3SDc
I think it looks very promising!
Re: Wii Chess Anyone?
Nothing wrong with chess at all. Especially not for the older Wii owners out there.
Shame the graphics look so primitive!
I would have liked a '42 all-time classics' style game on the Wii - more likely for everyone to find something they like.
Re: Virtual Console Coming To The DS?

Looks like a big fat lie
Re: Zack & Wiki Sinks Without Trace At Retail
Brilliant game, you are both mad

Time will tell!
Re: Review: Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles
Nice review. I thought it deserved an 8 too - it's a difficult game, bosses are especially hard!
Re: Wii're Zapping With Link's Crossbow Training
It's only a plastic shell - I think $20 is about right for a tiny target shooting game. I hear it doesn't feel good to use too. I'll find out when mine arrives anyway.
Re: The Year of Wii
I'd be shocked if that happened Sammy. The PS3 is a weaker console than the xbox 360, which has a larger community already. That said, there aren't many exclusives on the xbox, other than Halo and Gears of War..
Either way, I'll have all 3 so don't mind in the slightest
Re: Review: Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition
I thought the controls were bad! Doing simple things like turning while shooting are very difficult to accomplish. I'd only give it 8/10
Re: LEGO Batman
I'm looking forward to Lego Indiana Jones more
Re: Review: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
Spot on review. Quite possibly the best reason to own a Gamecube.
Re: Review: Picross DS
Yes, if you don't like picross puzzles then this game is not for you
You can try them out on sites like wiipicross to see if it's up your street.
Re: Samba Wii Amigo
The first one was great at parties. Now without wires. Ace!
Re: Famitsu Gives Super Mario Galaxy 38/40
For sure, but will it better Mario 64?
I think it'll be the best Mario game ever personally.
Re: Okami Wii-Bound
Wait for it. there's plenty of other games out now or soon, and less in spring!
Re: Plunge Into The Endless Ocean
Yeah looks great, but when will they announce the US release date?
Re: Samba De Amigo Coming To Virtual Console
Thats gotta be WiiWare - it would need to use the motion sensing duties of the Wii Remote
Re: Wii Menu Updated
Just found out that some USB keyboards are now supported for messaging. I don't have one lying around to test this though, anyone else got this working after the update?
Re: Project C.A.N.C.E.L.L.E.D.
Maybe in a while they will move resources back onto it.. can only hope!
Re: Wii Could Outsell PS2
Back in stock just in time for the inevitable christmas rush, where they'll all sell out again.
Software releases are always slow in summer, especially for a new console. I don't think that's anything to worry about just yet.
Re: E3 2007: Wii Zapper
Strange trigger position.. shouldn't it be on the back handle?
Re: Mazza Kart Wii This Year
Mario Kart by a million miles!
Re: Manhunt 2 Rejected By BBFC
How can the BBFC say that as an adult, I'm still not mature enough to play a game or watch a film.
How did they manage to play it themselves without going insane or starting a brutal serial killing rampage?
Stop this madness, censoring for children is important, no argument, but adults, no way!
Re: Wii Hard Drive Rumour
Wow, can't wait to get one of those awesome levitating hard drives
Re: Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition Receives Top Scores
Ordered and impatiently waiting for it
Re: Prime 3 To Launch In August
Woah, thought it would be later. Awesome!
Re: Interesting Wii Music And Wii Health Rumours
I hope Wii Music will also include the drumming demo that was shown at E3 last year, that looked decent!
Re: Opera Browser New Feature Details
It has been improved a lot. Certainly much faster now! [using it to type this :]
Re: SSX Blur Cover Art
I'm expecting BIG things from EA in this game! Can't wait for it
Not so sure about including skiing though! Skiers suck!
Re: Review of Trauma Center: Second Opinion
Nice review!
I totally agree. If you liked the DS original you are sure to like this. There's even a new episode (set of levels) for the Wii
Re: You Say Elebits, I Say Eledees
You could have a point there dannybuoy.. maybe it's more a french or italian thing than english though...
Re: Wario Ware Debut Set For January
Wario is going to be great!
200 microgames!!
Re: Importing Wii Guide
It has a different plug on it chuddy
Re: Review of Wii Play
I think Wii play is good fun! The one player game will only last about 20 minutes. However, with 2 players, it becomes incredibly competitive! It successfully teaches beginners about the new method of control possible. That said, Wii Play is really short, I'd be a little more generous at 7/10.
