I think he meant he would like to see the OoT remake with traditional controls intact, not the whole of Nintendo's next system.

 

Yes, exactly, I meant keep the game as it was, just with better framerate, resolution etc, although come to think of it, I'd enjoy the addition of camera control with a C-stick.

Wii Channel is now Free:

 

Nintendo has made its Wii Internet Channel free to all. Here's the full release, but it says it all in the title really:

 

 

By connecting Wii to the internet, you are opening your living room up to a world of possibilities! The Wii-specialised web browser enables people to connect wirelessly to the internet to surf the internet, do their internet shopping and even watch online catch-up TV services via their console.

 

The fast-booting internet browser will create a new relationship between the family, the TV, and the internet. This Channel uses the full internet browser from Opera Software, which also supports Adobe Flash.

 

Surfing the web with the Wii Remote is simple for the whole family. It lets you zoom in on areas of interest with ease and browse your favourite websites at leisure.

 

The Wii Internet Channel previously required 500 Wii Points. For those Wii owners who have already spent 500 Wii Points on the Wii Internet Channel, Nintendo will be offering a NES title from Virtual Console worth 500 Wii Points and will be launched in late October.

 

Further details on how to get the channel will be announced on the Wii Message Board and on the Nintendo website.

Is if worth using the wii internet channel compared to what the ps3 and pc offer? PC I would personally say no but ps3?

Definitely better than the PS3. It may lack more advanced features but it has an easier to use interface, and the Wii Remote is more similar to a mouse than the PS3's dual analogue sticks.

 

Boom Blox Bash Party arrived today from Zavvi (took bloody long enough). I'm going to take it for a spin in a minute. :)

^ Boom Blox Bash Party is great. Does sort of feel more like an add-on rather than a standalone game but there's plenty more content in there to enjoy if you enjoyed the first game. The online component is better as well, with there being some really interesting levels up for download/play online. So yeh, good buy there :D

I agree, the main bulk of the game is basically an expansion, but the online sharing features are brilliant. I spent a while streaming and playing levels online - despite a bit of lag, it's otherwise seamless! I've found a few decent levels too, including a retro ? block recreation.

I have turned on my wii for the first time in about 9 months today. Found i have 1100 wii points to spend on something. I was thinking maybe Super Metroid. Other suggestions maybe? please? Thanks :D

 

I'm trying to remember if Sin & Punishment is 1200 or less... But you can never go far wrong with Super Metroid :)

Bomberman Blast sucks. There, I said it. While it may have online play, compared to Bomberman '94 it's not great.

 

*braces himself for chaos*

 

It's late, but two VC games I would suggest would be Sim City (SNES) and Golden Axe (Megadrive). Two games that I loved as a kid, and they're my only two purchases so far on the Wii. I need more points. But, they're good games. Worth trying at some point in your lifetime, although they are criminally outdated now.
