S.C.G

Ok so I was gonna get some Wii points with my stars and have found out that they have a limit of how many "virtual" Wii points that they can sell? quite literally pointless... What I want to know though is, I currently have 5400 points registered, I can use those up right now nps. BUT! I also have loads of VIP pin codes I got with games but haven't registered yet, ones from GC, Wii, DS games and hardware. What I want to know is, if I don't register those now, are they safe? i.e after the January date can I register them? seeing as I haven't registered them yet they should be unaffected by the expiration if I'm correct. If someone could tell me whether the situation is otherwise or not that would be awesome. *edit* spent 5000 of my registered stars on a DS value pack which has a ltd edition stylus and cases or sth, stupid address entry form they have on the site though only lets you enter 10 chars for address line 1? and apparently according to Nintendo every house has a number. ... I just put 00 and then the rest of my address and hope it gets here, still what a stupid entry form, didn't have this problem when they send my my remote jackets (which are pretty useless) meh w/e *rant over*

Bought it yesterday before work, High Point - setting up the zapper last night it looks and feels quite nice despite some reviews citing poor build quality, it's fine. Played it today, started shooting things, it feels somehow more accurate with the zapper even if it does slightly slow down how fast you can move the reticule across the screen than if you used the Wii-mote alone I think thats a good think because depending on how you control it usually without any peripherals it can be all over the place which means that extra half second to readjust your aim. Having said that I haven't tried it without the Zapper shell yet but I may do at some point. Low Point - I've played it for an hour and 7 mins (according to the Wii) and I've completed it, the funs pretty much over aside from going back to beat those high scores and get all the gold medals. Overall - It's a decent showcase for the Zapper in order to show people what it's intended for, the Zelda locations and everything are well put together and the title doesn't tarnish the franchise's image in the slightest, just think of it as a collection of Zelda mini gmaes featuring a weapon that they wanted to include but didn't, lets face it the shooting mini games in Zelda were always the best anyway. :wink: IMO So yeah, it's good, with or without the shell I guess but the shell certainly adds something to it rather than detracting from it. I will be interested to see how this peripheral is utilised in the future but for now it's well worth picking up for the game alone with is quite simply a fast and fun collection of Zelda mini-games on a disc. Decent stuff and well worth a quick blast inbetween other games.

Agreed, I would love to see a new 2D home console Sonic game, with the graphics of Sonic Rush, but slightly more polished, a variation of Sonic 2's special stage and appropriately alliterated Zone names again. That would be awesome. ^^

All I'm interested in is... Xbox 360 Resident Evil 5 Burnout Paradise Too Human Devil May Cry 4 Soul Calibu IV Ninja Gaiden 2 Grand Theft Auto IV Wii Super Smash Bros Brawl Wii Fit Mario Kart Wii PS3 Final Fantasy XIII Metal Gear Solid 4 The rest I can quite hapilly take or leave, and as for the PS3 games, I'd be happier to wait if they are planning on porting those two titles as I know many people will say that they are games to own a PS3 for but atm I am happy with my Wii / Xbox 360 and need more than just those two games to sway me toward buying one.

lol... that Media Sharing thing with the Xbox 360 from WMP, I used to use that but since I got an Elite it would never work even though I could see it in the list. I since downloaded TVersity though and would recommend it to anyone wanting to share media files with there 360, a lot easier than with WMP and more reliable IMO.

I've had this since yesterday, didn't play it yesterday though, played SMG and Mario & Sonic instead, started it today, first impressions are good and it's a game I'll probably play on and off inbetween other releases.

The control schemes for some of the events work better than others, the ones that don't are frustrating, the ones that work are fun though.

Played it for just under an hour today, my views on it atm? both fun and frustrating.

I wanted to transfer a few photos from my Motorola Razr V3 (old model) phone and I updated the software that came with it, but basically it's rubbish and refuses to work properly and is a bit hit and miss. Does anyone know of any Free software that will enable me to transfer my pics from phone to PC via USB cable? I've had a look and can't find anything thats compatible and free, any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Well I reached my target of 60 Stars today, I could complete the game right now but heh I'm not going to. Besides I still have a whole area to go, so I will at least mess around in there before going to the final part of the game. I see no point in rushing through it really, you can if you want but it's more a game where you just simply "play" and the beauty of it is, everyone will play it in a slightly different way. Either way it's easily one of the best games I have played in years, they should scrap the warnings before you boot up the game regarding safety (make them optional) and replace them with a warning regarding just simply how damn fun this game is. Awe inspiring.

I got it on Wednesday, so you must loathe me. Anyways, this game truly is the defining game for the Wii, I've enjoyed every moment of this game thus far, got 37 stars, day off today so I'm gonna try and get to 60 stars at least.

He means the new idiot guide you get when you boot up Super Mario Galaxy, before the title screen it tells you to put on the wrist strap, hold the Wii remote tightly and don't let go and now it also tells you to use the Wii remote jacket. Firmware update which allows you to turn off such warnings would be nice to say the least.

This game just keeps getting better and better ^^ each new Area, Galaxy, Planet, Boss Battle... it's all brilliant. It really does feel like the true sequel to Super Mario 64. Gonna go play it for a bit more now.

I'm not going, I'll be sitting at home playing the game as I got it yesterday, btw it's awesome ^^' I hope any of you who haven't got it get your copies soon. : peace:

I've played it for around 5 hours now and have 15 stars, lol who said this game could be easily completed first time in 6 hours? I don't think so, not even if you rush, theres just so much to see and do. Gonna leave it at that for today and get some sleep but will play it some more tomorrow, but for now I'm just happy because... [Charles Martinet Voice] Hehe! I Got it! [/Charles Martinet Voice] Lol sorry I couldn't resist ^^' I really do hope that it comes soon for anyone who hasn't got it yet though. : peace:

So far I have 11 Stars and I'm enjoying it even more I think many reviews stated that the bosses were easy and well, they kind of are but they are on the same level of difficulty as Super Mario 64's bosses really. Anyway I'm off to play it for 15 mins more before I have to go to work. T.T I'll no doubt play it more later though but so far it's really good. ^^'

Well I left for an hour and a half, to play Super Mario Galaxy gonna take a lunch break now but my first impressions? It's amazing and really fun! I hope it comes soon for you all as it really is a fantastic game. Well worth the wait. Okies I'll go away again now... >>

Hell Yes! my faith in Play.com has been restored... Super Mario Galaxy has arrived for me literally just moments ago! I opened the package, saw the boxart and just said "OMG! Super mario Galaxy!" which I continued to repeat several times on my way to my Wii which is now switched on and ready to play it. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to play what is quite possbily destined to be the Wii's best game!

Woot! Play.com have literally just posted my copy of Super Mario Galaxy which I preordered months ago, which means I should get it on Thursday or maybe tomorrow if I'm really lucky. Either way, best piece of news I've had all day.

Hmm interesting, I would download Ninja Gaiden Black if they put it up there for download, other than that, not much else, hopefully they will have achievements too, otherwise the service will have limited appeal.

I have no respect for people who thoughtlessly take stuff that isn't theirs with no thought towards what the belongings might mean to the people who own them, it's disgraceful and there is no excuse for it. I'm sorry to hear that this has happened Cube, I hope they catch whoever did this and make them compensate both you and your housemates.

Got 4 or 5 hours sleep so far... gonna go and get 3 hours more.

I've just finished this truly exceptional game, though I'm both happy and sad as it's the end to the Metroid Prime trilogy which I have played since it started. Of course getting 100% items and scans in the previous two I had to do it again on the third instalment, so I did. The 100% ending is good, I won't spoil it but it's just a fitting end to the trilogy I guess. Final boss, which I also won't spoil is both decent and enjoyable, kind of easy to guess the final boss early on in the game but actually seeing, playing and then defeating is a satisfying experience. Overall Metroid Prime 3 : Corruption betters it's predecessors in many ways thanks mostly to it's intuitive but solid method of control. Though as standalone entities I think I still prefer the original Metroid Prime, as a trilogy though, all three games will always occupy a special place in my heart along with the immortal Super Metroid. Where will the series go from here? who knows, but if the next Metroid game turns out to be even as half as good as the combined Metroid Prime trilogy then that will be an achievement in it's own right, a Metroid game that surpasses them however would truly be something to behold. Either way I'm sure that Samus Aran will return so until that time... See you next mission!

The friend vouchers, nice feature but Retro could have easily just allowed you to unlock the extras via the main game that a linked to the friend vouchers, I mean it's using Wii connect 24 fair enough but it also means that a lot of people might never see the extras due to not bothering with the friend vouchers. The actual game itself is amazing though, sure it's the same concept but if it isn't broke, don't break it! the controls work just as they should and the ways that the controls are incorporated into the main gameplay are well thought out, absolutely loving it atm.

"wer'e playin Nintendo ohoh oh ohoh" lol nice find Caris.
