Isn't that how everyone knows them?

Couldn't have put it better myself. I personally, really don't like the direction the Xbox and PS3 are taking with online gaming. It's always been a solitary experience for me, similar to reading. I also find multiplayer is so much more of a blast when everyone's in the same room. Can't believe you missed out on de Blob and NMH though, Tapedeck! Those games are classics! You can get them for about £8 if you look in the right places. But yeah the line up looks awesome for the end of the Year / 2010 and that video doesn't even include Pikmin 3 or the new Zelda. Plus Genki Rockets are amazing!

Shamelessly stolen but in the same vain as Letty's... 2 black guys go to a bar, walk up to the bartender, pay their tab and could not have been more curtious.

That video made me so happy to just own a Wii and ALL of them are exclusives

Happy Birthday you lovable critter.

That's what the Emulators do for you, so you don't have to change it yourself everytime. Picture looks fine to me.

Your mum. ; )

Yesterday was a good day. First time ever, amazing night out in Manchester. Pulled a fat bird. Win. Today was better. I came online to find out that Blender was FINALLY in another castle!!! :yay::yay::yay: What surprises will tomorrow bring?

CeX usually will fix Wiis for a fee as do many other indy retailers. Plus, a 2nd hand one is only about £100 now so it's not THAT pricey to replace it. I know I shouldn't discuss the legality of emulation, so I won't. But seriously a few, simple options built into the emulaters DRASTICALLY improves the quality, especially on an HDTV. Why the hell can't Nintendo sort this out. Do they think casuals would be so confused by a 'bi-lateral filtering' option that it would cause them to explode? It's so bloody simple to implement and makes games like Donkey Kong Counrty (which let's face it, look like ass on an HDTV) look amazing! It's made me realise just how little intention of delivery a high quality service Nintendo have with their idiotic release patterns and even crazier pricing structure for what is, essentially, a below quality ROM file. I'm so angry that I've spent over £100 on the VC now. Really pissed off... Edit: EVEN SCALING THE BLOODY GAME TO FIT A 16:9 DISPLAY, SO I DON'T HAVE TO CHANGE THE SCREEN RATIO EVERY. SINGLE. TIME! Arrrrrggghhh /internets fan boy mode. But anyway, yeah, Homebrew good, Nintendo bad :P I've been bombing through Little King's Story, my UK copy! What a game (Stop reading, start buying). Downloaded a neat little tool that does your weight and centre of gravity using the balance board, take that Wii Fit. I'm so amazed with the quality of the stuff on here, I never knew there was such a thriving scene. I think the lesson Nintendo should take from the Homebrew scene is that complacency breed contempt, and it will continue to until they sort themselves out.

Been messing around with it last night and I've got my head around everything now. This. Is. Awesome. I can play all my region free games and I've (legally) downloaded all the roms of games I own for the SNES and Mega Drive and there's loads of options to run them in 480p with filtering so they don't look blocky and awful on a HDTV. I'd recommend this to everyone, there's so much more stuff you can do with your Wii and it's a big middle finger to Nintendo and all the idiotic things they're not doing or ignoring with the Wii, and it's 100% legal!! No warrenty? No reason not to.

I noticed that, what a fail. I am sad enough to have seen all 26 episodes and I think he's excellent though. There was one about nintendo and why it's so great (episode 6 or 7) that was 10 minutes of some of the best stuff I've ever seen online. Well worth checking out.

I need some help... I am rubbish with technology. I've just downloaded the HBC and something called Bootmii, which I don't understand... First of all, can I still load my Wii Shop downloaded games from the SD card? I have them on my PC at the moment and I don't know where to put them when I reload them on to it, or how I should arrange all the files. Is there an app that allows you to boot any region games and DOESN'T change the system menu region? I don't understand all this Jargon and stuff

I'll definitely be picking it up next month when I go to New York. I've been after this since it's release looks mucho fun.
-
I thought it was merely laying dorment, but then, alas, I accidently listened to 'Galaxy FM.'
-
No analogue triggers = MAJOR FAIL. How the hell is the Wii ever going to attract decent, serious racing games...??
-
Hakkinen never properly retired, he took a 'sabatical' which he never returned from.... A rematch between him and Schumi IN THE SAME TEAM would contain so much win and awesome that the world would self destruct and no-one would see it.

A true legend of the sport and a gentleman as someone has already said. R.I.P. Sir Bobby.

Shamelessly stolen from James Allen I can't wait to see him back in F1 and I really hope he manages to pick up a victory at Monza it would be unbeliveable!
-
That is INSANE! Respect brotha'... oh and Plok is made purely of awesome and win.

Thanks Scampro -
HOLY F*** I just came a little.

Does anyone else think this generation is poor?
Nicktendo replied to Caris's topic in Other Consoles
I think this sums up the entire threads and the sentiments of the OP, myself and Sheikah. None of us are denying that there have been some great games this gen, but nothing has really wowed us. Nothing has had that groundbreaking feeling to it and that's perhaps why were becoming a little tired of gaming in this generation. With developer constantly focusing on features that the vast majority simply don't care about or heck, even can't afford to enjoy they've created a glass ceiling in the industry and many people, particulalry kids can't get the full enoyment out of a game. For example... Can't afford a HDTV, Can't afford a 5.1 sound system, Can't afford the crazy amount of peripherals this generation has produced, Don't have a broadband internet connection, or have limited access to DLC, Xbox 360 has a yearly/monthly online subscription charge. That's a hell of a lot of extras needed to enjoy something like Halo 3 or Burnout Paradise to it's fullest potential. Why would anyone who has no access to online even consider buying Call of Duty? This generation (strictly PS3 and Xbox here...) has been to focused on the middle class gamers who have all the money, spending power and fancy kit. The Wii is guilty of the peripheral arms race too and the gamers don't seem focused on giving us the best possible gaming experience. It's all about entertainment and apparently to be entertained people need to have all the above boxes ticked. -
It's definately worth it in my opinion, helped me lose over 3 stone and I've never been to a gym in my life, all it costs is the equivilent of 2 months membership which is awesome. Wii Fit plus probably won't be out until around xmas so I'd pick it up while you can it's a cracking device, just don't expect much 'game.' It's more of an elaborate fitness calender/planner but still worth the cash if you use if properly.

Just to be clear my 'THANKS' was for the final statement, not the first one. And it was done ironically... purely for the unbelievable amount of lols it provided.

Not surprised to be honest, they've been awful this season and since they took over Sauber they had '3 years to win the championship.' I just hope that it doesn't mean Renualt and Toyota follows suit. I think the real questions now are, who will replace them and where will Heidfeld and Kubica go, because they're both excellent F1 drivers and they definately deserve a drive next year. I hope Prodrive are brought in as a replacement as Dave Richards is something of a legend.
