anyways, i really like sonic and i can't wait for the game to come out.
ok i have 100 bucks to blow on wii stuff. any ideas on what i should get?
I currently have.
3 wiimotes
4 nunchucks (can't wait for wii play)
DBZ tenkiaichi 2
Zelda
red steel
monkey ball
need for speed
madden
so what should i get now?

[JammyBleached]

All i can say is, Wario Ware. That's a must.

In all honesty there is hardly anything to nothing out for the Wii currently and seeing as you have pretty much all the high acclaimed titles there are right now (well bar Wario Ware) i wouldn't waist your cash on anything else until more games come out. Wait for around a couple of months when some more stuff should be out like Metroid Prime and Smash Bros Brawl.

I want to play Wario Ware... it looks so awesome, but I still need a Wii. ;_;

[dragontigerviper]

you think i should get wario ware? ok and what about elebits? any news on wether that is a good game or not?

[JammyBleached]

Yes, get Wario Ware. It's a funky piece of pure fun. It's worth it i say.
Oh yeah Elebits (Known as Eledees in Europe), i forgot about that one. Well score wise, it's got a 75.4% average. They say that it's good fun to rush around and mess with the physics by throwing furniture around such as chairs, televisions and anything else and opening cupboards and clearing the shelves making a complete mess as you find the little critters. Practically everything can be moved, thrown, opened whatever. They also say that multi player is a hoot as you and up to three other friends cause havoc together to see who can find the Elebits/Eledees the quickest, it also has a create a scene mode which you can then post online for people to play on making this game the first Wii online game so to speak. It also seems to have a good challenge factor as the levels increase in difficulty steadily and cooperatively.
The downsides i understand is that sometimes the sensitivity on the Wiimote can be a bit annoying. They say that sometimes trying to open a door or trying to move something in particular can be an annoying case at times. And that the story completely sucks balls.

But overall it sounds like a solid title with a good fun lasting appeal with no real concentration on story, but just for the player to cause a mess and have a spot of fun with only a few slight niggles with the Wiimote here and there. Multi player also sounds pretty sturdy.
I guess then on whether to get this game or not depends on if you want action and story to run through the game or just random fun. If you want a solid story with and adventurous, action aspect to go through then i say give this a miss. But if you want to just go all FPS and run around a house throwing everything everywhere to try and find little sparky critters in an act of random fun then heck get this.

I have question. Is it true that Nintendo DS could download samples of future Wii games?

[SpanktheMonkey]

I actually thought I read you could download them to your Wii (rather then DS) much like you can with Xbox Live. Speaking of DS compatability, has there been any word on games utilising Wii->DS communication? Or was that just a grand acid trip?
As for Wii Play being a great title? I wouldnt have got it if the bloke at EB hadnt gave it to me when I asked for a second wiimote, its enjoyable for a bit but gets worn out quickly, certainly not worth buying by itself (which I assume is why they give you a wiimote with it).
Has the Super Smash website been updated? I remember it saying sometime last year that the English site wouldnt updated with bios or anything until closer to the release date. Anyways I thought they stated that if the head honcho wasnt onboard for Brawl that they were just going to port Melee across and enable it for online play... leading me to believe that Brawl would be shooting for online. That and it was apparently talked about as an online-launch title.

[dragontigerviper]

so far it's the acid trip but im sure it will come around. Pokemon has been confirmed to use the DS if you have both diamon/pearl and battle revolutions (im not sure if thats its real name) and ive heard rumores that Madden will use the DS so that people won't be able to look at your plays in multiplayer.

[Saiyan Slayer]

I might get Pokemon D/P & Battle Revolution when they come out in the US. It would be interesting to have battle against players form different countries.

[JammyBleached]

I'm considering getting Pokemon Pearl when it gets released. Haven't played a Pokemon game in a long time and i remember how fun it was when i was younger. Now that we have two new ones which are in semi 3D, might as well give it try. I'm also going to get Pokemon Battle Revolution solely for it's online battling purpose so i can battle friends. I also hope to battle some guys on this forum too. We could have a MFG Poke tourney.

[Shirogetsu]

Got my Wii today, TP, Wario Ware, Wii Sports and Wii Play. With two controllers and the nunchuck thing,so like... catching a fish in TP @ the start is impossible, I just can't do it. =/

[JammyBleached]

Ahh the fishing is a piece of piss.

• Just make sure that when you have cast your line, that you don't pull back until the bobber has gone underwater or at least got to the red marking at the end.

Oh, Wii code! Please share.

[Shirogetsu]

So like, I don't have to wait for it to say "OMG you caught a fish!?"

[JammyBleached]

No no. When you cast you'll see a Bobber sitting on the water attached to your rod right. On the Bobber is a long stick which sits out the water. When a fish has took a liking to the hook and pulls, the Bobber will move and go underwater as the fish pulls. Sometimes the fish will lose interest and the Bobber will return to it's neutral position. When the Bobber stick has fully submerged underwater or it has reached the red zone at the end of the stick this means the Fish has gone the full way, nows your chance to pull back on the Wiimote to catch the bugger and when you have successfully snagged on the fish it will say "FISH ON!" on the screen. Just don't stop pulling back until you have the fish caught otherwise the fish will happily swim away.

All right but you will be at a severe disadvantage. you can trade pokemon from r/s/e/fr/lg and i have a few good ones.

also lupus, we're gonna need wii-code and a few mii`s.
