Zelda IS a very good game and the one I played the most. It does take a while to get going and is very large.

The controller is a strength and giant weakness. For novel games it works very well, for other things its just fiddly and bloody annoying. Case in point: Splinter Cell. To use that game with the wiimote and nunchuk takes some serious dedication. I sincerely believe a keyboard is the most superior interface device currently in existance, pads be damned.

The online appears to be wank, as I can't get anyone apart from Romanista registered, although that could be ALL YOUR FAULTS.

I also love the fact it'll take the original GC pads for GC games, and it's the only console "this gen" to have 100% always working backwards compatability. Even down to the peripherals.

It's a stupid system for sure, and I gave up adding people ages ago because very few reciprocated and I was left with loads of greyed-out names in my address book, which I then had to remove. I'll add you later on if you've got me on your list.

No More Heroes was pretty much the only thing I was looking at on the Wii. What is the combat system like? I have read a couple of reviews that say it is a bit sluggish to respond. But I know the Wii can do better than that. Trauma Centre is very sharp with it's response.

Malc: Oh yeah and Mario Kart looks great. But I always felt the randomness of it was lost if you couldn't punch the person you were playing with on the arm for getting a lightning bolt four corners from the finish.

Metroid 3

Ive recently just finished no more heroes, which was quite good, I quite liked the graphical style despite its roughness and theres some great characters and daftness about it and a knowing sense of it being a videogame brings most of the games humour. Downside is that it is awfully repetitive, basic minigames or more fighting to earn money to pay for entry for your next boss which starts out with more fighting goons until you get to the boss character. The combat is pretty basic aswell and theres not much difficulty except for the bosses but the games a reasonable 10 hours long and it wasnt so much of a chore to stop playing and the game does try to mix things up a bit in the second half.

Its definetly worth a rental and although I have a fair bit negativity towards the game I still came away liking it a quite alot.

Prime 3, mate. As excellent a game as it is, it must never be spoken of as being actually Metroidian, and certainly should never be confused with Metroid 3.

you have to do one of one or two hand movements with both remote and nunchuk which is fine if there both moving the same direction but if ones going right and the other up then often I fail to do the move although this could be my cackhandedness.

Except for the gameboy player.

Anyone want a gameboy player (With optional attached gamecube)

I'm now quite tempted to connect my master system to my 32" LCD tv in the lounge, as previously the gf would have moaned at the 'clutter'. Hooray for freedom!

It'd be interesting to see how good it looked on a big screen, especially if you've got a Scart lead for it. In front of my TV unit I've got an Amiga and CDI on the floor - must get round to trying those out on it at some point. Although I don't think I've found a CDI game worth playing so far.

Im sure everyones nintendo stars expire today.

I've been playing Super Metroid on the VC for the first time recently and can really appreciate just how much work went in to making it "Metroidy".

Im sure everyones nintendo stars expire today.

My Wii has been sitting there fore a while, not really doing much as well.

I think I just need to get more games - I tend to get tired of one, then get really into another for a week, then tire of that one. If I have enough games, I'm constantly playing, if I only have three or four, I go in fits and starts.

So, who wants to sell me some unused Wii games?

Im sure everyones nintendo stars expire today.

No stars for WiiPoints readily available? - fuck off
