Your right, there's a secret message in there somewhere!
What is he holding? Also, what the heck is that thing next to the couch!
Hmm might be just me but it kind of looks like a rip-off of the FLUDD from Super Mario Sunshine? Or maybe thats just crazy talk, idk...
I need sleep lol night all 
Also can't wait for the next Banjo Kazooie game, I reckon we may have it, this time next year at the earlest, the latest? Last year of the Xbox 360 being in production.

Im assuming they will be safe, they had better be as I have a drawer full of them!
lol I'm in the same situation thats why I am hoping they are too and thus I'm gonna save registering them until after the expiration period for registered points.
The way i see it as, they aren't registered yet so they should be safe I'm hoping.
And yes Shadow GBA games did have VIP codes too.
-
I 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.

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.

It looks like this "Racketboy" needs to learn that Sonic 2 IS in HD. His "question" should be "If Sonic the Hedgehog 2's Graphics Were Completely Remade".
I'd rather have the original version tan completely redesigned graphics...some games suit new graphics but Sonic 2 doesn't need them. Fancy graphics in a new 2D Sonic XBLA/WiiWare game would be fantastic, though.
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. ^^

No loading screens for both versions.
If thats true then thats even better
the loading screens in Burnout Revenge were borderline for Xbox 360, they werent the longest ever but they were long enough to be noticably annoying.In fact the only positive of loading screens is they give you a chance to change the in game music or get something to eat or drink without having to pause the game mid-race which can alter the flow of things, like say if you were trying for a platinum on a particular race, your halfway there, all pumped up, then you pause it and come back to it you end up approching the game differently IMO.
Hmm maybe thats just me, but anyways no loading screens is a plus.
-
No loading screens on PS3 version? hmm not bad but as long as the loading times on the 360 version are short Idm and aside from the aftertouch "feature" which is I presume something to do with using the sixaxis controller instead of moving the stick alone, what else does the PS3 version have over the 360 version?
I only ask this because it seems that in many cases for multiplatform games such as this there really doesn't seem to be many worthwhile reasons in favor of the PS3 iteration.
I'd rather have achievements tbh but if you don't like those then fair enough I guess the PS3 version sounds more viable then, but I'm still looking for reasons to get one in the future but there doesn't seem to be enough for me to buy one atm.
Anyways 360 version for me, I really enjoyed the Revenge and hopefully this will be even better. ^^

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.
-
Why fustrating?
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.

Meh I phoned them up to cancel the sub, as it doesn't seem worth it anymore, they have put the sub on hold though but have already sent out the game, so all I have to do is send back the game using the included returns label and then they can cancel the direct debit and I won't get billed.
If the game arrives unsealed I may erm "test it" before it goes back though >> if it is sealed though I probably won't bother. Anyways seeing as the game got mixed reviews I'm now not too bothered about it either way.
-
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.

To those who got this yesterday I hate you all!
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.
-
What are you talking about?
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:
-
Thanks for your impressions, i want more! Spoiler free of course!
Enjoy! Pleased it's worth (the hell of) the wait!
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. ^^'
-
Leave here, leave and never come back...
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!

Hmm aside from the black play and charge kit which isn't too bad, the rest of the main games on there have been cheaper on Play.com, sure Orange Box for 360 for £30 is good, even the standard RRP was fine but Play recently had it for £24.99.
Still at least with those sale prices it puts the price of those games down to what their RRP should be. So it's not all bad.
