I really liked Prime 2, it gets a bit of a battering at times, but I loved the whole Dark/Light Aether mechanic - even if it did seem a little over used at times.... i may just root out Prime and Prime 2 now....

OK, so its generic, but the more the merrier.

it seems to be back up with no changes.

i thought i'd done everything in MKDD! how do you unlock them?

Seen this on youtube, and noticed that a Boo is playable in DD. Surely not..?

1080 is sure to happen, right? C'mon NST! I'm also thinking Pilot Wings.

We definately need some new videos.

What are the controls for Barrel Blast?

I'm SO looking forward to Mario Galaxy. I've had high hopes since day one, but Bee Mario has sold me - I mean who wouldnt want to dress as a bee.

Don't think it'll raise the difficulty too much - unless they drop the whole coins adding life thing.

Did Reggie say 'watch this space' for number of players..?

Nintendo need to concetrate on some new blue ocean titles. Animal Crossing Wii, Wii Health (or my prefered title, Wii Keep Fit), a new Brain Training for Wii, perhaps Nintendogs (Wii Love Pets, maybe?!) and get these out before Christmas worldwide. Metroid and Mario are more than enough to keep the hardcore crowd happy over the festive period. So, in my opinion its new titles ahoy for 3 hours time. Blue ocean on the way.

MK's biggest problem is longevity. Its far too easy to see everything the game has to offer in a few days, if not hours... so more tracks and cups are a necessity. 6 cups, four tracks each.... and I can't see why MK can't do an 'excite' and require a little more than placing in the top 3 or 4 to progress. I think you could easily pop a story in the game - or at least explain why the racers are racing. Motivation, perhaps one character has to rank above a rival - Mario MUST beat Bowser, etc. Each character could then have a cinematic ending, providing a reason to continue to play. Controls... lets do something radical. Steering with the nunchuk control stick, while flicking the wiimote will fire off your weapons. A is hop, powerslide by tilting the wiimote and nunchuk. B perhaps a taunt and item stop. I'd also like to see less cheaty weapons. Why not have 3 coloured blocks... a selection of 4 weapons per colour Red are POWERFUL but heavy items (and slow you down greatly), Yellow are medium in both weight and power, and slow you down only a little. Greens have no effect on your speed but are less powerful. This would help stop gamers, holding back on tripple red shells from 8th place.

I don't know why, but i'd actually have prefered an RE4 style game.

The art style will go in favour of No More Heroes. Since its comic anime style, the BBFC don't consider it to have the impact of the more realistic looking game

This Friday sees Royal Mail staff strike over the end of the world or the recruitment of Al Queda for Christmas jobs, which will see many gamers waiting a whole extra day to receive their Copy of Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition. Has anyone had the chance to check with their online retailer to see when they're sending out re4?

arent play.com a UK company?

and from where do the BBFC recommend i purchase Manhunt 2 from?

Right. I'm 28 and (hopefully) anb to distinguish between right and wrong. According to the European Distributors, its wrong for me to import games. So, i'll import Manhunt 2 anyhoo. Any ideas where i can get an English PAL version?

having spoken to tiscali, we should be getting 2M service

Any suggestions on a new ISP?

We've been having a great deal of problems with our Tiscali Broadband speed. Downloads have suddenly started to take 3 or 4 times the usual length of time, and online gaming - Nintendo DS - throws us out as soon as we connect and register opponents. I've managed to find an online speed check which states our download speed is 232 k/ps and upload is 183 k/ps. This is from a 2M broadband service (apparently). I'm nt too fluent in comparing Meg with k/ps... are we receiving an extremely slow service judging by these figures?

Where's Osama bin Laden when you actually need him! The world vs Osama - a legendary battle for BWii!

Would this actually be possible? We're talking about two Wii's relaying an awful lot of data to eachother (if each player has control of 10 uints, you're looking at 40 NPC data being relayed for a 2x2 game, and with 4v4, you're looking at 80... thats a heck of alot...

There would be nothing to stop Rockstar from using the Xbox engines to port GTA4 over to Wii. I think Manhunt could prove a testing ground for Rockstar, so if you want GTA on Wii, buy Manhunt.
