..this looks like it could be shaping up pretty well.. but then I do like my Donkey Kong Gonna have to get my bongo's out for a wee game of Jungle Beat soon.. but yeh, I hope this is good

..I thought it said earlier in the thread somewhere that the game would include a Classic Control option aswell.. or I read it somewhere else definitely. But maybe I got it wrong

It does look pretty decent.. I own 4 and one thing I really hate about is that far too much of it is based on luck rather than skill! Very annoying.. especially the Happening Star bollocks.. This could definitely be good with Wii controls though! As for the name Mario Party 8.. I think Super Mario Party would definitely be a much better name. Heck, even Ma-Wii-o Party would be better

The GC version was rated 15 (as was the PS2 game, I would guess) so why would 18+ be on this box? The box previously posted also displays an age rating of 15.. I do very much like the box though

..Final Fight is only a 1 Player game.. Having said that, I have no idea how good the game is. I have only played Final Fight One on the GBA (which I have) and it was OK. It was no Streets of Rage in my opinion though. SOR2 beats all

I'm looking Streets of Rage 2 (unlikely), Kid Chameleon (unlikely) and, get this, Yoshi's Story (no chance..) or Mario Party 1 (am I kidding?)

..well.. my mum used to watch Home & Away on ITV before Neighbours every day.. and when it moved to five, it wasn't watched again. This was probably partly due to the fact that we couldn't pick up channel 5 at the time, but I wouldn't like to see Neighbours go the same way. If it happened, I could imagine losing track of it somehow.. (I don't have five up in my room for a start )

..a tenner seems a little low considering how good the game is! I had considered selling mine in order to get the Wii version (as it supports classic control anyway, if I felt like going back to the original control set up!) I just couldn't let go of it though, I'm gonna keep it and hope that the Wii Edition does come out at £20 or less.

Yeh.. on the control side of things, I feel if we were getting Pro Evo with a normal controller, we'd know what we're getting and sure, that would be cool. But with the Wii, there are many types of games where we just don't know what developers are gonna do with the controls. In my opinion, this could make Pro for the Wii even more exciting as, to be honest, I wasn't entirely sure how a serious football game would work. The more thought I put into it, the more I can see the experience of really cool new controls maybe even enhancing the game. Football games (in particular) have become totally predictable- shoulder button to run, A to pass, B to shoot etc in practical every single version (whether it be FIFA or Winning Eleven, ISS..) At least the Wii has got us thinking (well.. me anyway) about new ways to play. Bring on new controls I say : peace:

I kinda enjoyed the one on the PS1 where you played as Edward Carnby. It's good to see games such as this being made for the Wii. In all honesty, I feel if Nintendo had made a console with similar power to PS3 & XBox and hadn;t taken a new direction with the controls, we would not be seeing this, or Manhunt 2.. and there certainly wouldn't be a Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition as, well, there'd be no new controls to incorporate so what would be the point ..and Nintendo probably wouldn't be succeeding- we'd likely have another GC on our hands. With each new game being announced, my feeling grows stronger that Nintendo has definitely taken the right direction with the Wii and I hope that it will succeed as more and more games are announced. Sorry I have gone off topic, but when I think of all the games that are still yet to be announced for Wii (F-Zero, Starfox, 1080, Wave Race.. and other new games) it's great and I can't wait to see how controls are implemented for each genre. But anyway, good to see another game announcement for the Wii!

Sorry if this has been posted but I haven;t really been following this thread A few short Videos

..generally the bowl.. but sometimes you just can't beat the satisfaction of the splash of the water when you have been dying to go.. ..sometimes the direction can take you by surprise though requiring a very quick readjustment.. you girls have got it easy

..in reference to both mcj metroid and gekko: A few years ago I got Ikaruga in GAME (the only copy of it I have ever seen!) for £9.99 I also got Pikmin 2 for £9.47 (I think) because I took the Pikmin 1 box up to the till, which was that price, and they accidentally put Pikmin 2 into the case (which was priced at £32.97 preowned!) ..In other news, one time I bought Medal of Honor: Frontline (Not a great game by any means) and the dude behind the til managed to lift 2 copies and slide them into the case.. oh the luck I've had

Just bought this RGB scart cable for my Wii off ebay for £7.49.. fingers crossed that it does the job! ..can't be any worse than the composite connection though, can't make out much of the small writing in Tiger Woods

I'm actually not surprised. It should cost less.. but I reckon if it costs $30 in the US, or whatever it is, it'll be £30 over here. Which is just unfair, but likely to be the case I feel. £34.99 definitely would not shock me

..aye.. I noticed the price (but not the boxart) a few nights ago. I was hoping I was just imagining it, but for a price of £34.99 I just couldn't justify buying another copy over my GC version. I'd get it at £20, but no more. I guess I will just have to wait until it is cut in price somewhere. I very much like the box though, looks really cool

I really like it.. hope it is the real one!

My brother got Tiger Woods for Wii the other day and I have to say, on my TV, some of the writing is actualyl unreadable (most notably the EA Trax information that comes up at the bottom of the screen). I remember having the same problem with Need for Speed Carbon when I had it briefly. I am using the connection which came with my Wii and was thinking of upgrading to an RGB cable. Would this solve my problem? Also, would it be matter if I got an official Nintendo RGB cable or would a third party cable suffice? If third party, anyone able to recommend a good lead for a reasonable price? (Preferably below £10) (My TV is not an HDTV. It is a normal 32" Philips TV) EDIT: ..ok.. I just bought one from ebay for £7.49 (an unknown make....) but hopefully it will do the job. I would love a clearer, crisper picture.. and Readable Text when its so tiny!

I have had some monumental games of Pro Evolution Soccer with friends in the past.. I just love how each match is different and you can stamp your own play style on the game (I have a slow, patient passing game for instance) and every match you play is totally different from the last. Pro Evo 7 on the Wii with an online league/cup against friends would be immense, especially if the controls rock. Just imagine a league with about 10 people (all having to play each other twice) and then having a cup competition besides with a random draw and everything. I'm crying out for something like this, it would be brilliant!

..I thought it was fake when I first saw about it.. and I stand by that.. I have also just read (from what SHOULD be a reliable source (but can you ever really tell?)): You may have seen news about Excite Truck 2 on the internet today We have spoken to Nintendo this afternoon and they confirmed that the press release and screenshots that were released today are not from them and are completely fake. Nintendo have not announced any sequel in the Excite Truck series. (Tom@ONM)

..if you can find one in CeX, they're £18! (box and everything!)

yeh.. I was thinking exactly the same thing. I wonder how skill moves could work. They aren't something I have every really used in Pro Evo in the past, but I'm sure they would be put into the game in some from..hmm..

..thank you.. I just thought of it ..I think the gestures could work well for the through-balls aswell.. I'm thinking about it, and I'm moving my hands around and I think it would feel good : peace: ..and let me know what you think about this.. you know for corners kicks, some players raise an arm or both arms to let the other players know how it is going to be delivered? Perhaps you could raise either the remote, the nunchuk or both in order to make you players change their positions in the box before you cross it in.. I just love all the possibilites the Remote/ Nunchuks offers. If it is traditional controls, you basically know what you're gonna get. But with the Wii controls, there are many different possibilites and you just don;t know what it is gonna be like. It's exciting

..please please please please please! I would love Pro Evo 7 on the Wii with online mode and different control methods (either Classic or Remote + Nunchuk) I kinda like the idea with the throw-ins but I would be very interested to see how the rest of the game would work with those controls. I want I want I want EDIT: I don't really like the idea of using the D-Pad for lobbing and through balls.. I don;t think it would be the easiest thing to pull off in the heat of play. My idea would be to gesture with the Remote- like swing right in a 'telling your forward to make a run' sort of way and pressing A. To chip keeper you could gesture in an upward motion as you press B to shoot..?

..actually paying would have went down even better There was no need to offer at all though, really All the best, Fierce!
