Official Nintendo Fanboy Smugness & Gloating Thread

Btw. Flabio what's your take on the current situation? You'll have a more cohesive view than me, I'm still a bit miffed that the Japanese didn't appear to like Twilight Princess so I've got the arsehole.

Is the industry looking a bit more longer-term than us on the other side tend to?

Fwiw I really hope the PS3 picks up, otherwise mine was a really f**ing stupid purchase (more than it already was). My Lord of Rings DVDs converted to MP4s look spiffy through it though.

Dont worry! Stick it on ebay

Nah, no purchase is stupid if its home-brew-able.

So my first Warioware game is Smooth Moves. Insane, utterly and totally insane. I'm close to killing myself that I missed the earlier versions.

Well, if you want to catch up, I recomend WarioWare twisted for the GBA.
Touched for the DS but not as good as twisted.
The Gamecube one isnt really worth it though.

Incidently, does the Wii one have any cool new crazy tunes?
I absolutely love the goth-girls music on the portable ones.

I've noticed on ebay it is quite easy to get one delivered new in box for RRP + Â£10 postage. I gave one to family hence been keeping an eye on the price

Have Ninty caught up with demand then and supplies in the shops available?

Has anyone got Tiger Woods 07? Is it any good my nephew was asking and I couldn't really say I've never played any of those titles, have read controls are bit iffy compared to Wii Sports golf and you might aswell just stick with that

I've heard that 07 kinda sucks on all platforms. Or was that 06?

Either way, one tiger woods game isn't very good.

Twisted does seem to be the one everyone raves about. Really enjoying Smooth Moves, the cartoon bits look great on my LCD. Myself and my lady have basically just sat and laughed at the screen for about half an hour. Who comes up with this shit?

I played the original WarioWare, Twisted, and Smooth Moves, and Twisted is my favorite

I'd also recommend Rhythm Tengoku(GBA). It's an amazing rhythm action game developed by the Warioware team. The game is in Japanese, but there is a translation guide available.

I must be the only one who liked Touched. But it was my first Warioware and I loved it.

Shame coz golf game for the Wii-mote would be great and fancied something a little more indepth. Ah well there's always 08 for EA to not fuck it up

Tiger Woods 07 on Wii is quite good. I don't know who said otherwise, but they were wrong.

The problem with WarioWare: Touched was that it themed all its minigames. Spin, slide, poke, whatever. Even if you couldn't figure out what to do, you could randomly repeat the same actions from the previous several stages and have a decent chance of getting through, and that's completely against what WarioWare should be about. It should be something new, every few seconds, not the same thing over and over again.

WarioWare: Twisted is the only one I haven't played yet, but for what I have played, I give the nod to the original as the best.

So the UK is about a third of total European Wii sales? They can't be happy with that.

Wii is still effectively sold out across Europe isn't it? In which case, if they're unhappy, it's their fault: they determined the allocation levels.

Wow

afaik, the UK is by far the biggest single market in europe, so it kind of makes sense that we'd get the most stock.

I thought it was appalling. Horses for courses I guess.

Control problems aside, the thing with Tiger Woods is that it was pretty much perfected in about 2003. Each year they try to improve it, but actually end up making it worse.
