  1. Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Spoilers Topic)

    Wasn't Toad Peach's protective character or something? And he definately ran around in the background in the adventure mode on the 1st level.
  2. OOT or MM?

    MM got my vote. Just for the grand and alive feel the world had, (even though it was smaller than OOT). I remember a few tings in OOT and the amazing juxtaposition of 7yrs. But MM had real emotion, developed cut scenes and hard as nails dungeons. Some of the music is still my favourite and far excels OOT. the Astral Observatory is phonomenal. And the oath to order and the wierd red giants were so.... beautiful . Oh and the field at the end with the tree....That was the greatest thing ever. EVER! Such escapism and suprise. Man I love MM. But without OOT it wouldn't. Even. Exist.... oooo.
  3. Top 10 Worst Mario Games.

    SMB2 has always been the black sheep of the family. I adore it though...for its differences. The music is unforgettable too. And four different playable characters...And subcon. Brill!
  4. Samba De Amigo

    Even a port with waggle would do me. (The first time I've ever said that!)
  5. Mario Party 8

    Pointing all the time nacks my wrist. (And in Wii games)! I'm suprised Mario Party hasn't been released on the VC yet. OH!... It's because Nintendo probably know that Mario Party 1 and 2 have yet to be bettered!
  6. Burnout on Wii??

    The cutscene was in 3. I loved that. Takedown was an amazing addition to the franchise. You could see the damage you had done instead of imagining it as you blasted past them having shoved them into a lamp post. Genius. (An option to remove would have been good though). Burnout 3 had WAAAAAY too man tracks and this seemed to take away the purity of the series. I adored burnout 2 for the GC and will probably pick it up again one day. It was renderware at it's best and the controls were 100% made for the GC. I remember Criterion actually admitting the GC version was their favourite in an issue of NGC. I'm sure we all felt the pain when 3 never made it onto the GC (thanks EA!). Now EA love the GC and the DS has had a (horrific) version (best ignored), I'm sure it will come. Infact, I pray it will.
  7. Super Metroid!

    I agree with mcj Metroid. For all I loved prime...Super Metroid is STILL my favourite. I've said it before and I'll say it again: It's like Ridley Scott's Alien movies. it has a perfectly crafted fear factor, sense of aloneness and immunity and sense of scale. Genius.
  8. New Wii Wrist Straps

    Damn! Where did (cubed3?) get the strappy clippy ones come from?
  9. Name That Game

    close enough. FIFA 06, GBA
  10. Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games

    Considering Nintendo AND Sega are working on this I have utter faith in their entire existance that they will nail this game. I have no doubt the balance of all characters and events will be polished to the n'th degree. Should be brilliant. Don't doubt with comparisons of Sonic in 1993 and Mario pre 3D. Just trust Nintendo and Sega. This could be Sonic's best game since the Megadrive days. With Miyamoto involved with Sega we should all be hyped for what should be a monumental gaming moment.
  11. Tomb Raider Anniversary

    Fair shout Razzi. Legend was fantastic and Anniversary just grabbed that template and applied it to the (best) original Tomb raider format. I'm really excited for this version as it seems that a HUGE IP is being improved on the Wii. Nevermind the 360 version. Would you prefer improved graphics or a more involved, innovative game? The ideas in this preview video maybe seemed a little gimmicky (almost Wario Ware), but in the context of Tomb Raider they actually fit. I'm hoping these new additions are as good as they can be and they aren't just a brief (minigame) add on.
  12. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

    Nintendo should release a short playable demo on this new channel (sooner the better). Just a short teaser showing the quality of the title would entice gamers into buying the full game. It 'should' be downloaded straight from the inbox (if plausible). This would target ALL online Wii owners. I'm actually suprised Nintendo haven't done this kind of advertising (straight to Wii) yet. I was thinking this was like free advertising to MILLIONS of Wii owners. I'm sure the Metroid preview channel is only the start of things to come. Maybe in the future we will see short demos becoming available. (Or included with game disks as a bonus channel). Afterall, a video can only convey so much.
  13. Wii nearly UK's best seller

    I've been having loads of wii partys recently and everyone that attends them go away wanting a wii. These are people aged from 10-40. The power of the Wii is amazing. It's like something out of a sci-fi film to non-gamers. True virtual reality. And when they hear the price (and wii sports is included) they are sold. Good on Nintendo.
  14. Name That Game

    The correct answers were BOOGIE, HITMAN 2 and Beyond Good and Evil (Well done everyone!) The footy game is quite new.
  15. Name That Game

    Damn, pipped AGAIN.. I'll add some to increase the competition Have fun
  16. Wii Release List

    millions do... If only for the plastic wheel!!
  17. Miyamoto Tries To Bridge The Gap Between Gamers.

    You could say that fun is only enjoyable in short bursts. (At least that's what my missus tells me!)
  18. Football Season 2007/2008

    It's not really a shock considering Spurs looked poor at the Sunderland game at the weekend. (I was there) Sunderland were just a hard-working side and made spurs look like they had ran out of ideas before the half time whistle. Jol needs to sort the team out. I'm sure the've never really replaced Carrick and when King is injured they look poor during he transition from midfield to defense. Teams quicker on the counter will really hammer Spurs if they don't get their act together. Defensively they have been poor, poor.
  19. Convenience and multiple usage of any item is becoming the future and businesses are already pushing mobiles that can do EVERYTHING EVAR!! and M$ and Sony have both constantly been pushing their consoles as entertainment devices. Surely the "more" a console can do then the more value it has in our home entertainment setup. The wii can view your pics, check the news/weather and Nintendo have pushed on this hard, promoting multi use of the Wii console (a far cry from their old stance of a game platform only). Therefore I was shocked the DVD playback was skipped. Yet the Wii was a big risk. Price point was important to Nintendo during development. That's not relevant anymore: Now how about if the coloured Wii consoles all included DVD playback in the future? More bang for your buck. And a price drop isn't needed neither. Nintendo are clever businessmen. Only time will tell with the Wii. It would (ideally) be better with a channel update though. Yet the recent comment seems to dispel that becoming a plausible reality. 2 Questions: 1) Can a channel update as drastic as to 'alter' the disk drive be done? 2) What disks does the Wii actually use? (Are they just specially encrypted DVD's?) But personally, I would welcome the change: Just for ease of use. It's just not worth shelling out for all over again.
  20. FIFA 2008

    ...Until a later date. This should be good as I will be able to play against my folks due to the family mode. Plus, Sunderland will maybe have a good team lol.
  21. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

    Apparently the NEW vids have gone live over the pond...Just how long will we have to wait....Look out for youtube links in the morning
  22. Freshly-Picked Tingle’s Rosy Rupeeland

    Homoeroticism at its best. (Not that I'd know)
  23. Scarface Wii

    I own both and The Godfather is the better game in regards to controls and missions. Scarface doesn't control as well yet the locales are better, the music is better and the graphics are 'prettier'. Saying that, Godfather controls so well you find yourself ignoring all of its shortcomings. (Pasted story elements and repetitive texture/building sets)
  24. Name That Game

    No 2 is spy vs spy for sure. Is number 3 a james pond game? Possibly on the master system/gamegear.
  25. Tapedecks game music

    I just use my keyboard. Yamaha PSR9000. I record one and thenplay it over the top. Some of them are played back and I play the guitar on top. I'll post one of them at a later date. it would be cool to hear some of your stuff Metroid.
