Hear hear!

Give the man a...erm, do we have any emoticons of Llamas smoking cigars? Hmm, didn't think so.

Well, have a

Maybe Nintendo could get the online shop system run by a charity

$8 for an old ROM that's had nothing done to it whatsoever? You're fucking joking

Yeah, joking, nothing done to it and it magically uploads itself to a server, the server is an old 486 found in a skip, its self maintaining, powered by Donkeys turning a mill who survive on rain drops, bandwith was a christmas present from the Dalai Lama and the people coding the channel and comms part of the OS worked for nothing because their kids are robots.....err ..that'll do

Custom soundtracks on Wii:

In the latest batch of ExciteTruck media, we happened to notice something interesting in the sound menu. The usual options are all here, you can set volume and sound effect levels. Wait, what’s this third option? SD Card? It looks like ExciteTruck will allow players to stream music from their SD cards and create their own custom soundtracks. This is a common feature in Xbox and Xbox 360 games, so why not? If this is true, it’s a very pleasant surprise. Very good move on Nintendo’s part. (From Go Nintendo)

I just assumed it already would play custom soundtracks. Surely that's now an expected "standard" feature of any console?

Judging stuff by screenshots taken from websites is like buying a pig in a poke, but prompted by this article:
http://www.kotaku.com/gaming/wii/wii-vs ... 211669.php
...i thought i'd take a closer look at the screenshots, and compare with PS2/Xbox360 for sanity check/ control samples. Personally i didn't think the shots chosen by NGC France for those games were very representative of the shots they have in their portfolio, so i chose my own. The PS2/Gamecube Cars screenshots also look suspiciously close to me (game sites just using generic screenshots, not platform specific)?

Anyway, i'm no graphics propellor head, but it definitely looks to me that PS2, GC < Wii < 360. No surprise there then.

All those american football games look the same to me,apart from the PS2 version. The grass on the 360 one looks a different kind of wrong though.

Why are people still talking about the graphics? I suppose people were comparing the PSP and DS graphics until the DS came out though so perhaps I shouldn;t be surprised.

But..but... the helmets are slightly shinier in the 360 version! How can this not enhance the immersivity of the experience?

Damn you nintendo ! After months of saying "I won't be getting a wii as i've got the xbox360,DS,PS2 and PC." my resistance has been broken.
Was it the edge guide that made me decide it,no.
Was it the video's of the games in action,no.
Was it the old games that i'd love to play again,no.
Was it the new zelda game,no.
Was it my 7 year old daughter saying she wanted one,no.
It was my wife a person that hates games saying it would a great thing for our family as even she could play along.
Damn the nintendo marketing men!!!
Now i'll have to force myself to buy one now...
