Back on topic, I picked up Madden 07. I kind of like the controls after you get used to them.

noticed that also. we were going to pick up a DS lite for my daughter. but couldnt find one. so got her a bunch of other stuff.


went to wal-mart yesterday. they had 4 60gb PS3's but NO wii's. though they did hae 2 open wiimotes returns.

PS3's are easy to find, sucks when you want a Wii

Weird. DS Lite has been out for months. Nintendo must be loving it.
I WAS holding two of them at Fry's three weeks ago. Trying to figure out which one I wanted. Got too indecisive and left without one. Oh well, maybe it went to a good kid for Christmas.

I didn't see it mentioned before in this thread but Wii Play has been delayed until 2/12/07. Sucks cause I really wanted that 4th controller. Rumors are either they didn't want it coming out at the same time as Wario Ware so they weren't competing with each other or that they can't manufacture enough Wiimotes to fill all the boxes.

well, I just sold another wii.... when they get back in stock. I brought mine over to a friend's house and her entire family had a blast. Even her dad got a chuckle out of it and that surprised her. We played for 10 hours... hahaha. I've been now tasked to buy one at will if I see it.

can we get a little commission?

Woohoo! Toys R Us had Rayman and Trauma Centre! I also got this neat DS Lite case

OMG. Insane reflexes. I can't even beat it on easy.

I still prefer Radiant Silvergun over Ikaruga. Silvergun is lot easier and requires less memorization.

Metal Slug Anthology! 7 games in 1! if you like old school side scrolling shooters. its kinda hard but REALLY fun!

I'm trying to figure out whether or not I should keep Elebits. Anybody played it? Reviews seem pretty positive.

My next game will be Elebits once I finish SMB:BB. Also pick up some of the VC games - SMB, FZero & Gunstar Heroes. Japan will get VC Mario Kart 64 in the new year. Let's hope they also have it available in the North American market.

I rented it... found it too repetitive for my taste. But playing Trauma Centre with 5 other people yelling at you for your next move is quite funny

MK64 is supposed to be one of the major VC launches in Janurary. Maybe they cleaned it up like they did with SMB64.

Zelda, Super Swing Golf and Trauma Center don't seem to have any way to save anywhere other than the internal Wii memory - is it possible to save games on an SD card? I know you can transfer games to an SD card, and then transfer them back to the system memory, which would serve mostly the same purpose, but it seems odd to me that there is no way to choose where to save.

How do you like Super Swing Golf? Is the sensitivity of the swing anything like Wii Sports golf?

I don't have an SD card... does it prompt you for location if you have one inserted?

 

[pontifex]

my classic controller finally arrived although i don't think i need it.

are there any games that will use the classic controller exclusively or will the wavebirds work on everything? so far it looks like the wavebirds work for everything.

i rented SSG for a week.

it snot as sensitive as wii sports golf. i was able to hit more straight shots and control it a lot better.

also graphics were far better.

i was thinking of buying it. but might wait for a while and see if a diffrent better (non-cartooney) one comes out.

Thats sweet. Try and do a jab to the leg just before a KO and the opponents whole body topples over.

As far as I know the wavebirds should work for all. They have all the buttons and more than a classic does, just different positioning.

* Urban Champion (NES, 1-2 players, 500 Wii Points): Don't let the big, bad bully of the neighborhood push you around! Players fight for the right to walk the street.
