when I can find the damn thing (Wii) in stores.

There are also a few (I mean few) Gamecube games I would like to have for B/C with my Wii...

Ikaruga
Metroid Prime
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem
Resident Evil 0
Resident Evil
Resident Evil 2
Resident Evil 3
RE: Code Veronica

Lol... I luv RE games. ;)

I was at Gamestop for a good long while today (Buy 2 get one free) for used Xbox games, and I found the rare Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows in mint condition :)... Anyways, By the looks of it's popularity (People are asking for them left & right while I was there) and it's Virtual Console... I know by 2008 many developers are going to have some great games planed... RE4 Remake my be the thing that gets me over the hump to jump on that Wii60 bandwagon.

I will also need to get a Slim PS2 one day to play my old PS1 greats. :(

After the score Famitsu gave it, I'd be surprised if someone comes in saying 'meh'.


*Awaits someone coming in and saying 'meh'.

No thanks... I got very tired of Mario games since Mario World 64... Plus that game is a long ways off.

I guess this means I will need to buy less 360 games than I originally would have.

Wait... Is that it?

Should I wait for more games to hit after RE4?

Oh, abtw... Is there a controller (3rd party maybe) a lot better than the Gamecube one to play Gamecube games B/C on the Wii... I absolutely hate the Gamecube controller.

NO, I have everything I'll need for it for now. Once stuff is released I'll buy it. Those are the things I have pre ordered.

EDIT: There's the Wavebird (one I use) but it's essentially a regular gamecube controller with wireless capabilities. Best wireless controler without doubt.

I hate the buttons (The way they're shaped) and that nipple thing as the right analog.

Now, will I ever find a Wii?

Idk... I've played abot 20 versions of Mario throughout my lifetime.

I expect after 10 Master Chief games, I'd get sick of him also











O.k. maybe not. :D

METROID PRIME 3

How long must Retro and Nintendo keep me away from Samus ? It's been a long time since I kicked some space pirate ass with my favorite game character.

Why can't I get it tomorrow ? It's a damn conspiracy to keep me away from Samus.

Go to joystiq.com. I can't be bothrered linking it.
Alternatively, click my sig and read it there. It's in Nintendo's recently announced release list for 2007

Very hard to believe since practically nothing about it has been shown… I would bet on a delay.

Nintendo don't usually reveal a whole lot about their games. Look at Mario Strkers Charged!, out in a month and nothing much shown.

I also know that Nintendo has been known to delay games A LOT!

In that regard, Sony are going to win the console war and Microsoft are going to come second again.

Lets not judge them by what they've been doing but more by what they are doing now. Mario Strikers is on time so there's no reason why any of their other games won't be. (Already been delayed once, one more wouldn;t hurt anyway lol)

As far as the Wii, I have started playing the sports games again. I know graphically they aren't great, but it is fun to box, golf, etc.

I almost got a Wii yesterday at Game Trader, but I had to buy an extra controller (Wand/Analog stick) and a game with the purchase = $350... I couldn't do it at this time.

My girlfriend said that she'll get me one for Christmas when Costco gets more in... That should be a good time to know if it'll get more games I want (Instead of just RE4 & a few others), or to forget it all together.

Well, my copy of Mari oStrikers CHARGED! has been despatched and should be here........Tuesday :( Darn bank holiday weekends.

Also, Mike, the extra controller set is a must for the Wii because believe me when I say your GF will wanna join in. It's a party console at the highest level. I've mentioned this before but there has never been a console in the living room in this house prior to the Wii, folks all love it.

Well that extra controller I could justify... But it was the one wanted/needed game that I couldn't find/want.

I wanted the Gamecube version of Zelda... Not the Wii one, and all other games for the Wii doesn't interest me in the slightest. So I wasn't going to pay $50 extra for a Wii right now for very few games... Really to play a few Gamecube ones.

Why would you want the GC version of Zelda? The Wii version is so much better thanks to the wii controls IMO.

Most say the Gamecube version is better (Wii control’s are limited) and the reason why the Gamecube one is better because you can control the camera… whereas in the Wii version you can't, and that causes seeing problems.

I've yet to have a problem with the camera and from what I remember you could control the camera.

I checked and you can control the camera to an extent. Pressing the 'Z' moves the camera behind you.
I was reading the wrong thing. My bad.
