Helmsly

InvaderElmo already posted this in the Crash on Wii thread, but they talk about a couple of other Wii related things at IGN: http://wii.ign.com/articles/720/720002p1.html - There will be new Wii games shown at the Leipzig Games Convention - 20-30 Virtual Console games for system launch - Excite Truck should be a launch title The 30 games availible at launch seems pretty good to me I just hope Nintendo release games at a regular pace.

In a game where you use a gun (like red steel) the sound of the gun when you fire would come from the speaker but whatever it hits makes a noise on your TV. Also noises like when you reload or if shells drop out the gun (say if your using a Revolver) should come from the speaker too.

Your thinking about the coco pop straw things (Not sure what their like). The Neste straws are made of plastic.

We brought some a couple of months ago, I'm only starting to see the adverts for them now. Not very good to be honest. Mainly because the chocolate doesn’t have enough time to dissolve properly when you suck through the straw normally. Only works if you are drinking warm milk or drink very very slowly otherwise it tastes like milk with about 2 granules of Nestle in it.

I hope we won't have to use Friends code with every game. If a game like Phantasy Star Universe came out on the Wii, Friends codes would ruin it.

Does anybody know ifl the online mode will be on sperate servers to the Americans and Japanese? Or can everyone play reguardless of where they live?

Check this video out, its pretty cool (like a little story made using SSBM)

I got Donkey Konga 2 with Bongo's last year. They should have a shop on the UK site, and you could use the points to get discounts on games.

PSO-World have this down as the minimum specs needed for PSU: Operating System: Win 2k/Win XP Processor: 1.6 GHz Pentium 4 RAM: 256 MB Video Card: 3D card with 64 MB of VRAM Direct X 9.0c Hard Drive Space: 8.0 GB Network Connection: Broadband DVD-ROM only

Yeah sadly there's only wallpapers and ringtones. Every so often (like twice a year) they suddenly add a a few gamecube and GBA games and everyone buys them within about an hour and thats that for about another 6 months. Meanwhile in Japan they get stuff like this: And even an exclusive DS game:

Couple of scans from the new Famitsu (thanks to Neo2046 from GAF)

7 months after the Americans got this game and they havnt added anything to it. My copy of Snake eater was damaged so I was going to wait and get Subsistence instead of another copy of snake eater but I'm not waiting until October for this.

Yeah having to change to wind all the time when sailing was something I didn’t like too. The main thing I hated though was collecting all the

One thing that’s a major difference between the two versions (well for me it was), and that being NES games. Every so often another villager would give you a present of a NES, which with a fully playable game on it. Some of the games in Animal crossing included, Zelda, Super Mario bros 1, Punch out! and exciterbike. For some of those games you could hook up your Gameboy advance with the GBA connecter and download the game so you could play NES games on the move. I can't believe they removed that. I got my copy of Animal crossing off ebay and the memory card that came with the game had a village where the guy had hacked most the NES games into his house. I kept the file and just moved into the village and that guys house is sort of an open arcade now.

Zangief's turn:

Gill the end boss from Street fighter 3 third strike. He is ridiculously hard and incredibly cheap to fight. And as if just wearing down his energy bar down to nothing wasn’t hard enough…his special is called Resurrection and he gains a full life bar from it! Still…because of this it all adds to a great end game boss. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I think also not making a full proper pokemon game for the cube was just plain crazy. There really was no good reason not to have a full 3D pokemon rpg and the GBA connect thing would of been perfect for it. But no...better to release a mario party game every year isnt it?

I was reading a post at gamefaqs where someone in the UK said he went to his local HMV in Manchester and they where handing out leaflets advertising the Wii. I haven’t seen any myself recently but then I haven’t been to HMV for about a month now. The guy posted a couple of pictures of them: If Nintendo are already stepping up their advertising in the UK then I’m very impressed. It shows Nintendo are perhaps going to try a little harder in promoting their new console here which is only a good thing. Have any of you seen anything like this yet?

The jumping sections in the first Turok Dinosuar hunter game makes me want to punch and kick people.

I got a Freeloader for Animal crossing aswell but I also brought a game called Ultimate Muscle: Legends vs. New Generation. Its a wrestling game based on the cartoon but its made by AKI who made the excellent WWF No mercy for the N64. It plays like a very fast verson of that game only with a story mode (complete with full voice over cast) secret characters and a gallaery mode. Best of all is the multiplayer though. (you can see some screenshots and videos at gamespot: http://uk.gamespot.com/gamecube/sports/ultimatemusclelegendsvng/screenindex.html)

I think this is brilliant.

You don’t think that in all the countless interviews with Reggie, Perrin Kaplan, Miyamoto and Iwata over the past month or so and all the hands on previews and questions from all the worlds gaming press across the 3 days at E3 earlier last month , that not one person asked what was under the flap? The question came up quite a few times and whoever was being asked was always deliberately coy about it. Like its already been said, most people knew it was just going to be the SD memory cards but the speculation started when it was hinted that there could be more then just memory card slots under it. It’s the fact Nintendo felt the need to be so secretive about something so trivial.

Quoted for truth as they say. I mean really…SD memory cards? This could have been revealed at E3. I know Nintendo just hold back things knowing the internet will be rife with speculation and although I suppose that’s good for gaining interest on the Wii , when whatever it is finally revealed its such a let down and a bit anti climatic. The console will be out in less then 6 months and so will the PS3 so its very unlikely at this stage anything can or will be copied. Just spill yer guts Nintendo.

I hope rather then just having Snake in different colours when more then one person picks him they have different outfits from past Metal gears. Like his sneaking suit from Metal gear solid 1 and the Tuxedo. Also I wonder if they will bring back the trophies this time or have a whole new type of collectable (I can’t think anything better then trophies though)
