Nope, well actually technically yes seeing as i played it more but I only played Gears on co op with my brother and that was ages back before we completed it. I wouldn't play it on my own.
Whats wrong with me not liking Resident Evil 4? Sorry, it just didn't appeal to me. I hope i haven't offended you. I just thought that seeing as i didn't like the game i would sell it onto someone who would like it. My bad.

[Lord_Sloth]

Just a guess. Everyone I know likes 1 or the other. Never both. Everyone that hates RE4, preffers Gears to it. Not offended. Just taking a random stab in the dark.

I bought Pokemon: Battle Revolution a few days. It's alright, you would really like battling online. I'm disappointed that it doesn't have a RPG mode, where you could level up your Pokemon.

[JammyBleached]

Gametrailers slated Pokemon Revolution in their video review so i'm probably going to avoid getting it when it hits Europe.

[JerrodDRagon]

^I rented Pokemon for the Wii, yeah it sucks dont get it unless your a HUGE fan of Pokemon.

[JammyBleached]

First screenies.
Sooooo, what do we think? I dunno' it has a weird tingling feeling seeing Mario's crew grouped up with Sonic's crew in last picture where they are all ready for a race.
I think it needs a graphical boost a little in both polygonal and texturing though. There is a little too many jaggies around such as Tail's tails, Mario's clothes and Bowser's mouth. Talking about Bowser, they need to fix his back, it just don't look right does it?

[JerrodDRagon]

Hard to say I don't think a game made in less than a year will have that great of graphics's but I hope they improve a little. I'll rent the game first if its fun I'll buy it if not then what ever there tons of Wii games that look fun coming this fall so this title really wont stand out even if it is good.

[Crayne]

The graphics look just bad. I could expect something like that for Gamecube, and wouldn't probably not complain about it... but for the Wii? With those graphics? Oh hell no.
And if you ask me, the whole concept is like a truck of fail. "Let's put a bunch of Sonic and Mario characters compete in the olympics! Oh wow!"
Soon they'll make a game about how Mario adjusts people's VCRs.

I just finished watching the Live Nintendo E3 2007 and the highlights are:
Products:

• Wii Zapper. A new accessory that attaches the Wii remote and Nunchuck together in a gun shaped casing allowing realistic shooting experience.
• Wii Wheel. An official accessory that cases the Wii Remote in a sterring wheel shaped casing.
• Wii Board. A new accessory which is a wireless board with two pressure sensitive buttons that you stand on and catches your body motions.

Games:

• Medal Of Honor 08 (Working title). Tacking advantage of the new Wii Zapper, it allows a realistic war experience with a 32 multiplayer online option.
• Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles. New footage and also utilizes the new Wii Zapper.
• Madden 08 and Fifa Soccer 08. New American Football and Soccer game from EA now with an Online matches.
• Rayman Raving Rabbids 2. Yeah, a sequel to the first one. New mini games etc.
• Super Smash Bros Brawl. A mere 5 or so seconds of new footage. It did show Donkey Kong extremely briefly but it was barely even mentioned but now has an official date, December 3rd (US).
  
• Super Mario Galaxy. Some new footage such as Mario in a Bee suit that allows him to fly and announced an official date of November 12th (US).
  
• Mario Kart Wii. First ever footage of Mario Kart Wii. Looks as flashy as ever using the Wii Wheel and with information that it will have 8 Player Online races and battles and due to release in Spring 2008 (US).
• Wii Fit. Brand new game utilizing the Wii Board. A bunch of fitness and fun mini games which make you do certain leans, twists and turns on the Wii Board such as push ups, yoga moves and fun stuff like hula hooping and head butting footballs.

That's it. It was a little disappointing in my opinion. They hardly showed new footage of games we are looking forward to but announced stuff like Rayman 2 and another Brain Age. It was also filled up with a lot of show reels of people talking good things about the Wii like news reports and what not. Wii Fit was the biggest entry and took up a good 15 minutes or so. They also showed a live played demonstration of Metroid Prime 3 and Zelda Phantom Hourglass, but nothing we haven't seen or heard before. There was also Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games but was only mentioned and shown for about 5 seconds.

The Wii Zapper looks cool, in fact it looks pretty awesome. The Wii Board, ehhh, i like that they are expanding their view of games with new products but not my thing. The Wii Wheel, well, already been done with Excite Truck.
Mario Kart Wii though which uses the Wii Wheel looks rather tasty, and 8 player online? Whoo baby. Some of the tracks look to be taken out of Mario Kart DS though but looking a lot flashier with better graphics obviously. What we had of Mario Galaxy was great! But it wasn't a proper trailer or nothing, just playing in the background as Reggie talked over the top about something else. Though seeing Mario in a Bee Suit looks rather interesting but disturbing...

[JerrodDRagon]

How can you not be satisfied Mario Kart will be out in less than a year with online. Plus Brawl coming out 2 of these greatest series in less than a year thats good enough for me. Plus Resident Evil, knights 2, Dragon Quest, Metriod and Mario and thats just a couple of games coming out this next year for the Wii is going to rock. Plus DBZ is going to be online for the Wii, yeah that just rocks out loud.

[JammyBleached]

Uh hello? I gave praise to Mario Kart Wii. I'm looking forward to it. But how come you are not looking forward to Mario Galaxy as much as Brawl when personally i think it looks 2x better than Brawl right now. But eh, different tastes i suppose.
Talking of tastes, how can you be looking forward to Dragon Quest?? It's looking to be one of the most simplistic, lame and childish things to grace a console. It's been slated by pretty much every magazine and website. Come on? All you do is wave the remote to cut seemless objects that pop out on you in a linear and on rails "RPG". It certainly doesn't have any umph to hold up the console. Luckily Square Enix are coming out with a proper game later on with Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles which looks pretty sweet.

Resident Evil has caught my interest a little more now with the Co-op and Wii Zapper controller.
Knights 2?
DBZ BT 3 for Wii i wasn't going to get because i have BT 2 but after finding out it has online. Instant sold'd.

[dragontigerviper]

well i just got pearl. any else who has it and wants my friend code tell me and i will give it to you.

Yeah no way was I getting BT3 until I heard it had online, thats good marketing.
I heard Knights one was a great game that everyone loved so Knights 2 will be fun who cares if its for kids.
Yes co-op Resident Evil will rule wish they had multilayer in RE4 (it was possible) so yeah thats a great feature
Mario Galaxy will be fun since it comes out 2 weeks before Brawl (in the US anyway)
What I don't get is why are they having DK jet racers and Mario Kart come out in a 6 months period togeather??? Why not push DK back a year and add online???
Dragon Quest looks fun and different I like games hat try something different and so these games looks fun to me (so does DQ Jokers for the DS)
I want to hear more about No More Hero's the most that game look great but I mean it is just day one of E3 I hope we learn more about Animal crossing too.

[JammyBleached]

Oh man, DK Jet Racers looks bad in my opinion. It seems like a waste of time, and the control scheme? Pfft.
Knights 2? Oh you mean NiGHTS: Journey Into Dreams. I get you now. I have never played the original NiGHTS on the Saturn but i know how much people seem to love it. But after watching the very first gameplay footage of NiGHTS's big debut on the Wii...it looks weak. Floating around, going through hoops? Hmm..
DBZ BT3 online though, agh, that is going to be badass. I liked BT 2, thought it was actually a great fun game. BT3 online is just asking for tournaments and the buzz. We could even have a MFG tourney as there is a lot of DBZ fans here (though i don't know how many have a Wii). Hopefully you can still do the 5 vs 5 like in BT2 so matches can last awhile. Gameplay wise, from what i have seen of BT3, it looks nice. It still looks the same as BT2 but that's not that big of a bad thing, as long as they don't screw up the formula it's good.
No More Hero's, i don't know what to make of that. It looks weird to me. Can't make up my mind if it's good or bad. I'm going to have to wait for some reviews.

[JerrodDRagon]

^never would of thought of that but yeah I would love for a DBZ MFG tournament.
