While it's nice to see, it's not unexpected. Unity did support Wii after all...

So it seems that we'll be seeing NintendoTVii in the UK/EU after all! (http://www.n-europe.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1490519&postcount=3512) Bring it on!!!

Bummer. Oh well, still looks fun anyhow (and that Keyboard alone looks to be worth the price of entry!)

Pretty much. It started out ugly and went downhill from there. Shame really cause the Vita is a really nice looking machine (as was the PS2 Slim and the PSone)

Wii U is turning out to be quite the indie haven! A good few must haves already for me! (especially Toki Tori 2 - can't wait for that game )

Yeah, one at a time. It's a pain to buy multiple songs at once when you're paying exact amounts (but if you've got funds lying around in your eshop account, then it's not that bad - downloads are nice and fast) It's for high score and nothing else. Personally, I play with all equipment off for Challenge mode and with my stuff on in the Chaos Shrine.

Online play?! Well that guarantees its western release then Amazing how the attitude in this thread has completely changed now! The new weapons look completely awesome BTW! Hmm, I thought that they were gonna get rid of the segmented areas though? Also, why does this look worse than MH3U from a graphical perspective? (It's still segmented and doesn't seem to be doing that much more from an AI/physics perspective, so what gives?) Either way, I'm sure it'll look much better on the 3DS screen itself

Hey, probably getting this soon; Just a quick Q. Do you get funny sentences and stupid stuff to type like in Typing of the Dead, or is it just Pokemon names and nothing else?

So wait until the games you want actually come out for it! Edit: Oh wait, hang on I forgot about the (probable) incoming shortages. In that case... time to broaden your horizons and give NSMBU, NintendoLand, Zombi U, Sonic & All Stars Racing, Scribblenauts Unlimited and Rayman Legends a chance! (Plus Fifa Wii U might turn out to be good, as well as Batman Arkham City AE and - as a real longshot! - Ninja Gaiden 3 RE...)

It's more expensive than the current 160GB model, so it'll be at least £189.99 (probably £199.99) You can forget any idea of brilliant competition at that price (oh and apparently it STILL doesn't come with a HDMI cable ) Edit: Maybe not... Sony does what Nintendoes (as usual!) it seems... I bet retailers will still go with at least £189.99-£199.99 though...

I wish my US 60GB model didn't die, I miss it so much

Only a 25% size reduction? Not impressed. It's also ugly as shit (now it looks even more like a grill! ) And has that price actually gone UP!? Even the wonkily sized 12GB flash model is more expensive than the cheapest PS3 today! (and that can't be costing them nearly as much as the HDD model!) WTF is Sony doing!? Why aren't they lowering the price and doing a Vita bundle to take on the Wii U and boost Vita sales!?

You can add funds from within the game itself (you can also pay exact amounts, just like in the eShop - it's the same interface for the most part) You could always use YouTube for song previews, but for my own recommendations I'd pick any of the battle music from FF3 and FF4, Matoya's Cave, Cosmo Canyon, Ride On, FF9 Battle Theme, FF9 Battle Theme 2 (warning, hard!) or Force Your Way (warning!!! Hardest song in the game by far. May cause irrepressible tears, unceasing cursing and permanant psychological damage from the sheer difficulty!) Give them a listen (they're all fun to play, though some are pretty easy)

Most just require the Wiimote on its side I believe. Out of the ones we know about, only Metroid Blast and Zelda Battle Quest require the Nunchuck (they also happen to require Motionplus BTW!)

It's not randomly playing notes when it changes. What's happening is that the note charts switch from the melody to the harmony and backing tracks during certain songs (The tunes in the Chaos Shrine however are somewhat randomised, using modified forms of pre-set note chart portions). You're right about a lot of the songs not having any sense of rhythm though - especially FF12's music. I'd have to agree that you get more out of this game if you're a fan of the series (and that FF4's Boss Battle theme is the best in the series! - It's also one of the most fun songs to play BTW! Well worth the purchase! ) I kinda like the fact that not all of the music in the game is exactly rhythm focused though. It's nice to play to some of the more sedate and ambient music as well from time to time, even if it isnt necessarily a good fit for rhythm gameplay (Rabanastre fits this description nicely!)

Creepy... Serebii's game number list looks eerily similar to mine! (except I only have around 8 360 games and about 15 odd 3DS games, not counting downloads - that's not exact BTW, I'm not at home right now to count) I missed out completely on non Nintendo consoles (aside from Dreamcast and a mate's Mega Drive) until around 2006 when I started picking up PS1 (mostly via the PS3's PS1 classics service) and PS2 games. Virtual Console has been fantastic for me! So many classics that I never got the chance to buy before, with some so rare/expensive that I could never justify buying the physical version (hi Castlevania Rondo of Blood and Magical Drop 3!)

Here's a few I'd suggest... Best Graphics (2D) Best Graphics (3D) Best use of the Wii Remote (non-motionplus) Best use of the Wii Remote (with motionplus) Best online multiplayer game Best local multiplayer game Best port/remake Best story Funniest game Biggest surprise within a game Best new character born on Wii Best Boss Fight Best Music OST Best Mini/Microgame Best game that didn't sell well Best game that didn't get released in Europe Your favourite moment/event of the generation Which animal was best represented on Wii!

With footage of Twelve Tales Conker 64 now out in the wild, it's obvious that Dinosaur Planet 64 got a lot further than that game! (it also looks a lot more fun than sober Conker!) Could this be an early Beta in that case? (rather than an Alpha) It certainly looks mostly feature complete!

http://rareminion.com/twelvetales.html Interestingly, not much of it ended up being reused in Conker's BFD! There's a few bits (like the signpost, the dancing flower textures, text boxes, one piece of music and the boulder rolling) which were reused as is and a few bits that were modified (barrel rolling and conker shooting), but the grand majority of it really was completely scrapped! I always had the impression that they re-used a lot more than they actually did It's not really hard to see why it was scrapped. It doesn't look any fun at all and also feels like a series of test environments loaded with a bunch of disparate mechanics, while lacking any sort of vision, goal or focus (which ties nicely into a comment that a former Rare employee made recently, who claimed that it was "not a good game") http://www.notenoughshaders.com/2012/08/21/donnchadh-murphy-chats-about-rare/ Also Conker is an annoying little shit in this game. Thank God they shoved a pint down his gullet!

Pretty cool idea. I can think of quite a few games that I would vote for in specific categories that I would definitely not put up as my overall favourite games...

Disregard... seems that someone said something they shouldn't have...

Disregard... seems that someone said something they shouldn't have...

Is to be expected. It's only based on games from Nintendo EAD or R&D1/SPD - so the likes of Pokemon and Kirby wouldn't be considered. Almost right, but not quite. [nerdmode]Metroid, G&W, DK and Balloon Fight were developed by Nintendo R&D1 (now known as Nintendo SPD1), not EAD [/nerdmode]

Yeah me too. I'm really itching for a new 4 player local multi game that isn't a sidescroller and this looks perfect!

That's an excellent list of titles there KK! Definitely one of my favourite lists so far
