Mario Vengeance: Charged Cry or Far Strikers: Vengeance Football and yes, I actually own farcry (never played it though ) close 2nd Super GT Galaxy Pro (Gamecube: Universal Emblem: Theme Parks of Radiance)

I thought my wii crashed once, the screen went black all of a sudden. It was my brother trying to synchronise his remote with the on/off button...:P

I'm starting to get worried...what are the odds of it not being released in Europe at all? How well did PoR do here?

I'm trying to get those purple comets to show up, but aside from the one at the gate, they won't show up. Do i have to go to bowser first? I wanted to get all the stars before killing him =(

The toad brigade is my favourite. I love the red leader Toad taking credit for about half the stars you get IIIIIIII'm the best!

Ah damnit, I usually get it from my local Intertoys which usually gets it early, but they didn't have it yet =( If they don't have it tomorrow, I'm going to the Mediamarkt.

I wanted to play Paper Mario the other day, found the box and...it was empty!!! I know it's somewhere in the house, but i have no clue where. :(

It'd better be the real Mario and not just some hulp-sinterklaas!

Nope, though some games could still be fun (like brain quiz, since you'll have the time to explain the mini's), but stuff like speed sorting would end up as speed guessing instead :p

Yea i agree. If i had just seen the review, i would've guessed they gave it a 6 at best.

rayman is fun, easy to understand and translated to dutch, it might be fun for the 6-year old. Wii sports would work fine as well. Warioware might be too complicated for kids. Most games don't have alot of voice acting anyway, so it doesn't really matter if it's in dutch or not, since they probably can't read yet :p Aren't there some disney games on wii?

IGN gave it a 8.0 The review is horrible though. He speaks of a lack of mii integration, HA! Apparently it's nothing more than a gamecube sequel with no improvements, works for me! : peace:

Hmm,I downloaded it from the first link and i can't get the video to line up with the sound =( Does anyone know how to fix this?

Just got this game today. Even though i was only able to play with 2 players (not a single wiimote was on sale in my hometown) it was a blast. It still looks like a GC-game, but compared to MP4-6 there's a definite upgrade. So far, I haven't come across a single game where the control scheme felt awkward, the steering games sometimes had the wrong description (tilt vs wheel simulation), but aside from that it felt fine & responsive. The real improvement is in the game boards though. The DK-one is a classic mario party board, but others like the koopa hotel one really makes the board game more than a smoking break inbetween mini-games. The randomness doesn't bother me either, it's alot like poker: When you suck at it, you can still win. When you're good at it you can still lose, though you DO increase your chance at winning. I'd recommend this game to anyone who ever enjoyed a mario party!

I remember trying to name 3, but couldn't pick just 3...let's try again! Errrr...uhmmm...let's start with a top 3 RPGs Tales of Symphonia Paper Mario Fire Emblem Mario games! Mario tennis Mario sunshine Mario kart/party456/melee I might be cheating a bit. Edit: Oh yea, adventure games! Beyond Good & Evil Eternal Darkness Wind Waker

All titles mentioned are great titles. Choose Skies of Arcadia if you want a traditional epic turn-based RPG. The adventure is extremely long, the random battles can get a bit annoying though. Baten Kaitos shines through the outrageous fantasy setting and story. The voice acting is horrible though,I advise you turn it off immediately =) To me, Fire Emblem and Paper Mario are the best of the 4. Fire Emblem is more a strategy game, but it has plenty of story (if you don't mind reading...alot) and it's easy to get attached to your characters. This might be my most replayed game ever =) Paper Mario is the slickest of RPGs. It's a bit more linear, though that also means you don't need to do ANY real grinding. There's plenty of fights, but it's all in perfect doses. The battle system doesn't seem too complex, but it's very rewarding. Edit: Gameplay-wise (and graphically), it really is NOTHING like mario sunshine.

There's a working link now, though it's kind of slow. I can't even get past the previouslies

Seems so, I have the same problems. I got it yesterday whenever i wanted to start a ranked match. Logging in was no problem, though.

Gotta say Metroid Prime as well... also, Phantasy Star Online, i hoped the offline multiplayer would still be ok, I was wrong.

I guess you haven't played warioware then either. There's a microgame that has you drop the remote :p

It's not too late yet! That map is hard for the first few turns, but it's still very doable. I suggest you dump Ilyana, and take newly joined units instead. Mordecai & Lethe are both very useful in this chapter. Nephenee, Brom and Kieran are good characters to start to raise (unless you want gatrie, then skip Brom) and since they only joined a chapter ago, you'll get a new shot at getting good stats. I'd send Ike, Kieran and Boyd down to take care of the 3 spearmen & the knight. Nephenee can go to the closest house, accompanied by Kieran to soak up the damage. If you want to keep the vigilantes east alive, mordecai would be best east, talking to zihark (use smite to give zihark room to talk to you). Send Lethe with another speedy character up north to take care of the knights there and visit the house. I used marcia there, which works great if you make sure you kill the bow knight with lethe first. Make sure you're out of the black knight's range around turn 5/6. For the centre part with the most monsters, put Titania there on turn one with either a steel axe or hand-axe. She won't steal too much exp, since she can't kill the generals. Oscar could come in and help finish them off on turn two, the 2 of them forming a nice wall for your ranged attackers (if you have any). Once you're ready to move to the boss, just do the same as in turn 1: let Titania soak up the damage to kill them off with whoever's there. If you give Titania the steel/iron axe, she'll do good damage on the normal knights and the boss will use his bow, leaving him open to melee attacks (boss exp for your weakest characters! yay!) If you're not sure you'll make it in time, send Oscar ahead together with Lethe. Anyone can clear this map, keep that in mind. That sounds like a nice tactic, I'll give it a shot ^^ I must admit I gave Ilyana a seraph robe, so she can take quite a bit of damage. She's probably a bit RNG-blessed though, since she does double alot of enemies for me, and then there's the lovely crit of elthunder. On the map where you fight Shinon I left her and Nephenee to fight all the reinforcements by themselves. Only Nephenee needed to be healed once =)

I'm at that chapter right now, and it's really hard to not kill any birds before you reach naesala. Does he talk to Janaff by himself if you put the hawk in range or do you really need to talk to him yourself (putting him between 2 ballistae & a bunch of wyvern...in bird form!) My current team: Ike Oscar - Since i didn't level boyd at all, these two were the first to reach lvl 20, oscar is my most powerful unit by far even though i don't use him in every chapter! Titania - Doing alright, I mostly use her to weaken enemies so they can be killed off by someone else. Mist - Took her a while to get good, but now that she's promoted she's become the perfect frontline healer. Lethe - Pinch hitter, I use her every other chapter. She still doesn't get great exp, so i use her as a second titania. Ilyana - Choosing Ilyana makes the first few chapters so much easier, since there's no need to force feed Soren exp. She's a bit weaker in offense, but her strength is great, so she'll be able to use the heavy tomes (+ early use of the ranged lightning spell = great!) Nephenee - WOW! Can't believe I've never used her before. She has great offense, AMAZING speed and with a knight's ward, can easily take on 5 enemies at once and then wrath kicks in..... Gatrie - I had to give him some resistance and movement, but now he's a great unit. I just hope he'll stay that way, I had to get rid of Gatrie on my last playthrough cause he kept dying =( Shinon - Just got him back, I decided to give him a shot with some bonus exp and he's great, mostly cause he's my first bow user so i had a bunch of great bows waiting for him. Great growths too. Reyson - I'll use him this time, though I'll have to give him some bonus exp soon. He's so weak! Marcia - She was a great unit on my last playthrough. I usually send her ahead: she dodges most melees, has the full guard item for the archers and great resistance against the magic users. Tanith - Going to go for the pegasus triangle. Maybe I should wait a bit before actually using her, though. Coming in at level 10, she's like a midgame titania. Zihark - He just changed to swordmaster. He seems to be a bit more durable than Mia, though he really doesn't dodge much at all and 2 resistance at lvl 20?! Tormod - Celerity works great for him to keep up with the frontliners and finish off monsters. It took some effort to get him at a decent level, but now at lvl 19 he's doing good damage. I really recommend him if you need a 2nd stave user sage, next to Soren/Ilyana. Kieran - Alright unit. At least don't have to worry about him stealing exp from others, since he still has plenty to gain himself. Tormod is my only non-promoted unit at the moment, all others are 1-10 at the naesala chapter.

Hmm, well I used Kieran a bit on my last playthrough, but he was a bit too weak for my liking. I actually only had Boyd with an axe as his main weapon . Calill I did use last time, she's alright, especcially since she has the high weapon levels, however, i feel Tormod's celerity is really worth giving him a shot. I'll train Ilyana in lightning and wind magic and Tormod in Fire. Is that item that gives you knight-movement equipable or usable? I could give Reyson the full guard if it's usable, which should keep him safe (maybe drop Marcia for Nephenee/Tanith then). Thanks for the help, especcially the support suggestions. I never plan those ahead and usually only end up with oscar/Ike as the only useful support. In the final battle, i even had Ike dodge half the time against the boss, cause i had both Soren & Oscar near him.

I haven't used a halbenier at all in any of my playthroughs. What is their exact use? Should i compare them more to warriors or swordmasters? I'll try the Mist thing as well on my next playthrough. I'll probably have to drop Rolf then though, since there won't be enough bonus exp. I killed Naesala with the triangle attack though, so i hope i can find a way to do it differently. I don't know about Reyson either. I used him on my first playthrough, but he's really so weak. Does he get better defense in the later levels (or dodging capability)? Next playthrough list: Ike Oscar Titania (won't start lvling her till after chapter 10 or so) Ilyana Mia Marcia Mist Lethe Jill Largo Tormod Shinon Gatrie Astrid Does that sound like a feasible team? Who could i drop for Nephenee?
