Very good, always up for a rail shooter. :]

I wasn't too into this one, still a really good game but the level design was pretty bad imo. However, the way Mario controlled (including the FLUDD) is better in this game than in Galaxy. It feels quicker and more responsive.

Cool article, I've never heard of any of these games before but we definitely need more shmups. D:

I was going to post saying how funny that interview was, but that has been completely overshadowed by what is probably THE CUTEST VIDEO OF ALL TIME

KABOOM

Here's my dunk face D:

This looks so good! I want it now.

@Kristof: Yeah, the CTF mode really got my attention. I take it there's a two player mode? How about online multiplayer? I'm guessing no for the latter, but it's been years since I had a good game of online CTF :[ MW2 didn't really do it for me.

I thought I loved Eminem before, but now... He's pretty much the most awesome person who has ever lived.

I hope this doesn't make it to Europe, I like having an excuse to buy an extra game. If I didn't have leftover points I could only justify buying games that I really wanted. :[

@20: I'm not going to like the gameplay regardless so I didn't comment on that. It looked exactly the same as The Conduit (or any Wii FPS) to me - clumsy and irritating. This game definitely has a visual style more suited to the Wii than The Conduit did though.

Those graphics actually look pretty nice to me.

Haha good image caption.

I love the Donkey Kong scene, it's so dramatic. It's like The Hills with geeks.

Anything that could possibly save your life, no matter how improbably, surely cannot be awarded 1/10. Excellent review.

Great to see another SHMUP coming to Europe. I've no idea what Ironclad is like but I'll definitely get it at some point.

@14: And yet, as far as I'm concerned, the N64, GameCube and Wii have all been the best consoles of their generations. What does that tell you about the importance of advanced technology?

Anyway, I also agree with The Fox. There's no way that, over three years from the release of the Wii, Nintendo aren't thinking seriously about their next console.

I never played this game on 64 (my parents bought me DK64 instead), but I tried playing it on the DS a while ago and I thought the controls were awful. I played it for about twenty minutes and never touched it again.

looks like the sauce man ain't so hot! BURN

lol @ pixelman's question

Good read! Nice guy.

I'm not usually into JRPGs at all but I'll definitely think about getting this, it looks amazing.

Congratulations :]

@8: Agreed.

I really like the concept of an ET-designed robot exploring the universe to gather information. Very cool.

Sooooooo goooooooooood

@Roo: Haha, I thought the same thing.

This looks absolutely AMAZING. Cheers for the preview Sean, I can't wait for this. Just need to beat the other three games now :]

How do you feel when you see gorillas at the zoo?

That looks absolutely amazing.

Why are Other M and SMG2 scheduled for next year in the west but TBA in Japan?!

@i8cookie: It looks good in motion, just check YouTube

This looks awesome

Should be awesome, I used to love Frogger. I hope the movement is still grid-based

Sounds pretty good to me

Do retailers frequently refuse to stock games on this basis?

@Adam: That's the main problem I have with JRPGs, they're too often the millionth installment in a series that I've never played. I know it hardly makes the game unplayable but it puts me off, especially since such games are so story-based

Sean, is Ju-On being released for the PAL region? Do you know if it has co-op gameplay?

Awesome news, we need an RPG

@Damo: Sadly I have to agree... This is the one genre that the Wii can't really do. It's a shame as the remote is easily the best controller for FPS, but the lightweight online functions (Friend Codes and lack of voice support for instance) can't compete with Xbox Live and PSN.

i think there's always been that small amount of lag with anything using the wiimote, just moving the cursor around the console menu it's clearly not as quick as using a mouse.

the music in this game is awesome, especially the "in town" track

this looks like fun, and the fact that the gameplay is simple and it contains monkeys means that i could probably get my gf playing it, which pretty much makes it a guaranteed purchase for me
