RedShell

Starting this Friday: 15/08/08 - 25/08/08. I really liked the last ring competition, so looking forward to this one. Along with the time trials and flawless online multiplayer, competitions are doing a really great job at extending the re-play value of this game!

Funny how people seem more interested in this game all of a sudden. They should totally stick this stuff on the cover.

Well done man! Hang on... this means I'll be facing a world champion racer on Thursday! Can't wait. :awesome:

Wow, that's actually loads faster than my Time Trial record for that track! Best I've managed on this comp is like 2:50 or so. Loving it though, it's really funny. The noise DK makes when he hits you is so ridiculous it cracks me up every time I hear it.

A new competition is now available, it appears to be a bike only race on D.K's Jungle Parkway, with nothing but bananas for weapons! : 01/08/08 - 10/08/08. Not tried it yet, will give it a go later on, before tonight's online session.

To me it seems more like IGN has once again failed to "get it" as far as the motives behind a control scheme are concerned: Yeah, this is a horror game IGN. Not a racing game, not a beat-'em-up game, not a platformer, but a horror game. It appears painfully obvious that the controls have been made intentionally less accurate/responsive in order to increase tension during game play. I could be wrong of course, but that's what makes more sense when you look at the kind of game this is. Anyway, I just hope it gets a PAL release, and soon.

I've not played that much of any Jet Set Radio game, so I'd be happy to see a version arrive on Wii. I'd be much happier with a Wii version of Space Channel 5 though.

Cheers everyone! : peace:

Cool, so DS connectivity is confirmed then. Sounds a lot more in-depth than what I was expecting too, never thought you'd be able to import stuff from Wild World! Oh yeah, good point Owen. I forgot I imported Wild World there for a while. Hopefully it'll work ok with the PAL version of City Folk.

Great vid here showcasing the drums: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/36804.html Awesome! :awesome:

I reckon people should reserve judgement on this one until we see a bit more of it, I just get the feeling there's going to be more to it than what was shown during the conference. I don't believe that they'd have put so many different instruments in to this and then not give you the ability to play your own stuff, doesn't make sense. Then there's the making / sharing videos thing, totally lends itself to that idea too. But even if that's not the case and it really is so basic I think I'd still enjoy it, the drum kit in particular has me sold, seems such a great laugh and the Balance Board pedals thing is rad.

Airplane! Airplane! Airplane! Seriously Nintendo, please put that airplane game form E3'06 in this title. It's already got the same island and everything. Despite the glitchyness of the press conference showing I think this looks pretty sweet, it's just a shame we won't see it until next year. Would've been a great game for Christmas.

I think this is looking very good, ok so it appears to be essentially the same game as the N64/GCN & DS versions in both content and visuals, but I think that the new features (especially Wii Speak) will really increase the enjoyability and longevity (if that's even possible!) of this title. It's like how the first AC game was just crying out for online play, (remember the memory card swapping thing to visit other towns? ) which of course Nintendo then fixed with Wild World. And Wild World was just crying out for voice chat, (the speech bubble thing was really limiting) and now we'll be getting it for City Folk, so with every new version of the game Nintendo have always addressed the biggest issues of the previous one, whilst still maintaining the feel of the franchise. I must admit though, I would have preferred more than 4 players in a town (especially as we got 12 player online with Mario Kart Wii, a much more intensive game) but at least you can have every one inside the buildings now it seems, unlike on the DS game. Would be cool if this utilizes the Wii-DS connectivity too (like the GCN-GBA link up) for making patterns, town tunes, writing letters etc... on the go. Wasn't there talk of a writeable DS or GBA cart coming out? It'd be perfect for that, or I suppose you could just sleep mode your DS until you upload stuff. Anyway, will be looking forward to more info on this game, most importantly that of release dates. I'm going to be insanely optimistic here and say that I think it will see an almost simultaneous worldwide release. Crazy I know, but I think the fact that Wild World sold so well here in Europe, (outselling the US version) coupled with the current state of our holiday line-up make it a possibility. Let's hope so at least.

Nope, all of the outside parts are blocked off. It's basically going around in a huge circle, you can actually hold a powerslide for the whole race as long as you don't get hit by an item.

A new competition is now available, it's a VS race around the DS Twilight House Battle Stage: 15/07/08 - 25/07/08, Wii Wheel only. Had a few goes on it this morning, my best time is 0:49.686.

Indeed, always nice when that happens. Anyway, this looks like a right winner. Can't wait!

Damn right amigo! : peace: Will most definitely be keeping an eye on this game.

Yeah that option would be good, there's clearly a lot of stuff that should be added to this. Could end up being great though. Yup. What the hell was that, it felt like I was being brain washed! By the way my user name on this thing is CaparazonRojo (RedShell in Spanish), I'll be damned if I'm gonna be RedShell2950400

This is pretty cool, (although it's a bit slow ) I've added to the room:

I managed to hit 37 seconds on the comp this morning, don't think I'll be able to beat that. Shame not so many people seem to be participating in the competitions now, my friends list has always had enough entry's for a top 10 before, only got a top 2 for this one though. I suppose most people are too addicted to Brawl at the moment.

Looks fantastic! Intro is online now too: Love it!

I discovered this vid earlier on: Made it myself afterwards and it works great, I got a huge number of stickers / CD's today from it.

Around 39 seconds for me. :awesome:

Wow this game is so awesome, can't believe that amount of stuff that's in it. I almost don't know what mode to play when I power the thing up, sooo much to choose from! I'm still trying to get to grips with all the characters, think Pikachu is my favourite at the moment, although I don't really like his final smash. The cut scenes in The Subspace Emissary are just mind blowing! This really has been very much worth the wait.
