Wii games you have played, with a small review if you like

Iam said:
Wait til you get the Katas... :)

My housemate (a sad, sad FPS nut who's skills far, far transcend mine) says:

"Once you get used to the controls on Red Steel, and start using the long combos and focus... it's fantastic. There's nothing wrong with the control system at all."

He's getting kinda scary good at it.

I've done 3% :D

yeah, I have just got to the bit where I can focus shoot people. course I then haven't played it for about a month so have forgotten how to do it all.
 
I find it interesting that ppl are enjoying the VC - the most common complaint i hear about it is that we get the old PAL versions - ie slower running than the american/japanese versions along with those ugly borders.

Tbh i put up with that 10 years ago but I wont anymore.

lol no, I love Nintendo, its just a shame they treat europeans with contempt!!

Id be more than prepared to buy VC games if we got the proper versions - as it stands, if I fancy some retro goodness ill just have to go down the illegal, emulated route.

yeah, but there's something about downloading it straight to your console. I saw "golden axe" and almost bought it but then I remembered that I've got it on a PS2 retro compilation that my mate bought me for my bday and I have never opened.

was still tempted tho. it's so cool.

I absolutely agree, which is why i WANT to give my Nintendo my money and download games for the VC. But no way am I putting up with the half-assed ports we originally got 10 or so years ago, theres no excuse these days :(

That's just fucking crap. I didn't tolerate that shit in the SNES days (had a US machine like all my mates). Nintendo really love fucking Europe over.:rolleyes:
 
Some of them are improved. Super Mario Bros plays at the right speed, although there are slight borders. No way of knowing before you buy though :(

It'd cool if there was a site or page somewhere that detailed this...
 
£180 for a Wii, Controller and "Wii Sports" £30 or something for an extra controller and "Wii Play"
 
Cripes. It's still a bit of a lottery at the moment. Best thing to do is to call round some stores in your area and see when they're getting stock in. Like Brixton Woolworths this morning, apparently.
 
Gamecube games work pretty seamlessly. I bought a gamecube controller, memory card and metroid prime 2. Love it :cool:

Just trying to find resident evil for the gamecube at the mo.

About 60% through red steel. I plan on buying zelda once I've finished that.

do you mean just buy gamecube games? like from a normal shop? and they play on the wii? :cool:
 
I've been playing Warioware tonight.

:eek: What the fuck is that all about then!! :eek:

Great fun though - can't wait to take on some (pref. drunk or even better stoned) mates on multiplayer though!

As a result of which, I've rediscovered Mario Sunshine. :cool:

Mario Sunshine is ace.

Super Paper Mario is out soon, which looks well good. You get to play inside the original Super Mario Brothers game and run about in the 2D levels, it looks really good.

Mario Galaxy doesn't look like it's out for ages though, which is a bit of a downer.

Yeah. Check the flaps down the side of your wii. Ful of gamecube controller and memory card sockets :)

I haven't seen one available for sale yet.

The best thing to do is what Crispy said, basically hunt one down or wait for a couple of months and there should stock on the shelves.

Been playing Sunshine some more on my GC. Some of those end bits of the later levels are spectacularly hard.
