Come on West Ham!!! Hope they stick it out now!

Tears welled up in my eyes (I'm not ashamed to admit it!) just as it was coming to a close... The most beautilfully told and most compelling Zelda in the series, a masterfully crafted piece of artwork, absolutely sublime in every way! My NEW favourite game of all time... The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess

Yep, midnight launch confirmed... I'll be there from about 10ish (mate works in barracuda so I'm gonna be heading up to there to meet him, from there we're going to GS... I'm taking my DS of course too!

Gamestation - Altrincham

07/12/06 06:30hrs - Wake up 09:00hrs - Start work 17:30hrs - Finish work 19:00hrs - Meet friend at Barracuda Altrincham (his workplace) 22:00hrs - Walk to Altrincham Gamestation (play Metroid/Mario Kart on DS's) 23:00hrs - Gamestation opens and invites customers in for gaming sessions 08/12/06 00:00hrs - Wii goes on sale, pick up my pre-ordered Wii & Zelda 00:20hrs - Set up my Wii and don't go to sleep for the next few days! That's what I'm hoping for!

I don't watch much TV but I've seen the different Zelda adverts about 5 times and the Wiisports advert once... all in one day, during the breaks of the movies Breakdown (was on Sky One) and Commando (Sky Two)! That's decent enough I'd say!

Well I hadn't a clue what the difference was, I'm not what you'd call technically savvy! I don't have a clue what cables do what for the picture quality and I am HUGELY grateful for the comparison! Thanks Kaxxx!

Ken it is for me! As people have already said, when someone jumps - hit 'em with the shoryuken. The hurricane kick, I find, can be a useful technique when combined with jumping. (I'm sure you all know this but...) If you jump and unleash a hurricane kick you'll travel horizontally across the top of the screen... can be useful for putting/closing distance between the opponent and yourself and also for avoiding landing on slow fireballs! Chun Li's spinning bird kick can be used from a wall jump and she'll travel across the screen from the top, diagonally, down to the bottom... it's a great move for people who haven't seen it before (yes, there still are some!) but watch out for the shoryukens... they'll take her out of course!

Ya know, I entered the wrong Zelda thread just then and almost started reading though the posts until I noticed I was in the spoilers thread! Thank god for this thread eh?! Ha ha!

I'm not sure whether I'd buy any FPS's on the Wii at the mo, of course I will be able to give an answer once I've played them but I can certainly say I don't think I'll be getting any at launch! I had hoped that these control issues would've been sorted out by now! Roll on Metroid eh?!

I've never done one before... but my local Gamestation (Altrincham, Machester) hinted that they might be doing a midnight launch... yet to be confirmed I believe! Sure hope they do!!!

So true, so so true!

Man this game has just entered the top 5 of my most anticipated! It looks AMAZING! I don't mean the graphics (although they do also), but this gameplay is right up my street!

Metroid Prime - everything about it, an awe inspiring game, the only game in my eyes that stands shoulder to shoulder with Ocarina of Time! Eternal Darkness - the way the story was told was unbelievable, this game truly is a work of art! Wind Waker - beauty, i've never seen such fantastic animation, one of the most beautiful games ever! Smash Bros - having never played it on the N64, this game blew me away! One of the only multiplayer games to touch Perfect Dark (N64) in it's playability and fun! Viewtiful Joe - this game really showed that you don't need hyper-realistic visuals or a gripping story to be absolutely amazing, re-invented my love for hardcore 2D scrollers! Resident Evil 4 - the game is brilliant, everything about it is awesome!

It's good to see a well thought of and constructed piece of writing in regards to the Wii's graphical power. Having just come off the gamespot boards it is always nice to read the posts of people that aren't idiots! (a sly dig at them I know!) I love your post Zechs and must say that I certainly do agree to the extent that I would love to see these beloved games in even greater detail. Although I wouldn't say that I'm not hyped as much for this console... the Wii is the console that has had me more hyped than any other! The Virtual Console alone does this for me! Having read the most recent impressions of games like Zelda and Mario and Metroid I'm super hyped for this machine! ...also, Outlaw Star is great! Just finished watching the series on youtube, it's great!

I've always had Nokia phones, although now I've got the Sony Ericsson W810i and tell you the truth I won't be getting a new phone once my contract is up as it's easily good enough and as user friendly as the Nokia's. The K800i, I imagine, is a brilliant phone. As long as it's got 512MB memory minimum I'd say get that!

I'd love Bleach to come out over here! I'd also love that Zangetsu!!!!

Personally I don't see it either!

Man I can't wait for this game, with expert controls it looks great!

Man this game is a must-have! It keeps looking better and better!

I'm hoping for a midnight launch near me too, there would be a few mates with me if there is, great as you've said for mario kart and metroid battles before you get the console!

Eternal Darkness Legacy of Kain: Defiance MGS (goes without saying)
