Ahhhh, WarioWare GC. The days of taking my copy round my mates' house to play Paper Plane Race all night, the days of getting sweaty palms on the final floor (Wario), and trying nearly 30 times to do the boss-which is now amazingly easy.

 

Can't wait for Smooth Moves-Proof that you don't need good graphics to have pant-pissingly good fun!

I'de go for Excite Truck, if it wasn't simply because it looked awesome on the GameSport launch video. It looked like a great deal of fun. I'm waiting for Mario Galaxy or Metroid Prime 3.

I want Trauma Centre but so far there's no date for it.

There's to many Wii games I want at the moment that's out in the future so the closest ones i'm getting is Wario Ware and Dragon Ball Z.

 

Both look like fun to play,especially DBZ with the remote,looks fantastic.

Hmmm, whats out again at the mo? I guess if I was gonna get anything else it'd be Monkey Ball... I think though due to probably not even having barely enough time to get through and thoroughly enjoy what I have at the minutes gonna hamper my need for it though. Ive read negative things about the mini-games so thats really put me off cos the Wii has been superb so far with Wii Sports, Wii Play and the Rabbids all delivering super 2player action.

 

Can anyone sway my opinion on Monkey Ball? :hmm:

 

In reality, my next buy will probably be Excite Truck. :hehe:

I bought CoD3 a couple of days ago, and it's not too shabby. Not too shabby at all. It definitely plays a lot better than Red Steel, which doesn't play too bad to begin with.

 

There are a few issues, though. It clearly is a port from the PS2-version, and not a very well optimized port, that is. The Wii isn't the powerhouse Xbox360 is, but Wii can definitaly do better. At times it is gobsmaking, at other times just plain ugly and buggy (the pop-up in the tank-level is outrageous). Sometimes, the framerate-drops make the controls go haywire, and it's not the CPU that can't keep up, but just bad optimizing. It's a shame, because you can smell the potential, and it's a shame the bugs spoil what could have been an exellent port. There are also a couple of other issues, like the inability to skip cutscenes (FMV from the Xbox360-version, mind. Why they didn't choose to go for real-time scenes is beyond me. Sure, there wouldn't have been so much detail, but the very first cutscene is real-time, and it suits it well.). The result: every time you load your game, you have to watch the introductionary cutscene. :hmm: Oh, and no online play.

 

Still, it boasts the best FPS-controls to date. I hear a lot of people complaining that the gestures don't work well (strugling man-to-man, placing explosives, etc.) but I have no problems at all.

 

I played CoD2 to death, and I must admit that that is the better game, design-wise.

 

And for the gameplay, well, it's Call of Duty. That's either a good thing or a bad thing. When in doubt, rent.

I'll defend CoD 3 - it's aesome on the way, but only if you don't care about the graphics compared to the 360; I don't care and I actually prefer it to the 360 version - thanks to?........ The controller, seriously it makes it so much fun to play with (after an admittedly steep learning curve) but I love it.

 

As for me Excte truck and Wario Ware definitely. I really want Pangya and Trauma but Pangya has no release date and I've seen a June release for Trauma :o HURRY UP DATEL!!!!

When's Battalion Wars II out? I never played the GC one (could never find it!) and I hear it was excellent...

 

Oh, and Fire Emblem. I love those games to pieces (although the GC one could have been a tadge deeper on the RPG side of it). Now. Want.

 

Wario Ware's on order (£32.99 from Gameplay). I'll also get Trauma Centre, Excite Truck and Elebits.

bwii is not perfect from what i have heard problematique

 

Where have you heard this from?

 

So far, from what I know, this game is really not all that far along at all.

 

However, online play has been mentioned. I'm looking forward to it.

No, a place called http://www.gameplay.co.uk. You might have heard of it. Many have.

 

Lets hope it stays at that date.

 

Wont be. Elite Beat Agents went from 22nd December to February a week or 2 before release, and Elebits went from 29th December to a similar time.

 

I'm still thinking about Excite Truck, although I am wondering if I'm buying Wii games just to see how the controller works in a game of that style.

where did that date idea come from? thin air?

 

Man do you really need to add the thin air comment? I mean you wouldnt talk to someone like that in real life. Unless your tone was one of joviality then I apologise.
