[GeeZa]

For crying out loud. NOVELTY.

[Governmentyard]

Thats true in some ways.
Eleedeez and Kororpina* are two I certainly want.

By all accounts you'll be wanting Mercury for depth in place of Kororinpa, which you should pick up second hand or on budget.

For crying out loud. NOVELTY.

You mean it's a book!?

[fog]

Thats funny, because I dont see anything on the PS3 that comes close to Twlight Princess. (or wind waker for that mater).

360 has, of course, a significant head start, so it does have a lot more stuff.

Yeah 360, PSP and DS stuff more than keeping me busy with single player games just now.

And it looks like it will be staying that way for now as there isn't a huge amount on the PS3 or Wii immediate release schedules that has me excited.

I'm quite tempted by Mercury but, while the gameplay on the original PSP version was fine, the camera and game structure were horrible. If they've fixed that I might take the plunge.

I don't know what anything is anymore I just know I can feel a brain aneurysm forming just by reading this thread at the moment.

I didnt actualy know it was out yet, but its certainly on my list.
Especialy as it was always meant to be tilt controlled.

Also, second hand wii games dont seem to make squat difference in price at the moment
At least, in gamestation here its barely a few pound difference between new and second hand.

Well, this is going to sound terrible, but I'm actualy quite curious to see what the Harry Potter game out in a few weeks will be like.

Ok, theres a 80% chance its shit, but the concept of a gta-style game structure around Hogwarts and wii-mote based spell casting actually has got me very intrigued.

I still havn't switched my Wii on since I finished Zelda. In March.

It's not likely to go on again until Smash Brothers comes out.

You should switch it on, the upgrade to the full Opera browser stops being free in June.

[flookster]

You didnt like WiiSports straight away..that just means you didnt like it.
A novalty would be something you play intensively at first, and then quickly go off.

Sums up my experience of wiisports precisely. So yeah to me it was a novelty, a flawed one at that.

The release schedules of wii/ps3/360 have all been a disappointment lately but then it is summer and only to be expected.

Oddly, that new Harry Potter game, while it's likely to be a complete bag of sick, has one of the best engines on the Wii yet. Fairly large, detailed environments, nice self-shadowing, what looks like normal mapping on some of the characters (I could be mistaken, though), nice lighting and even a bit of a physics engine going on (levitating tables, brooms, etc).

It's a shame it's a movie tie-in, really, as they seem to be almost always be absolute cock, but assuming the engine assets will pop up for other games, it's a fairly positive indicator of things to come.

[Jamesac]

Kororinpa isn't so much a novelty as it is a basic marble-rolling game requiring precise control through some truly diabolical mazes. It's a bit stripped-down, sure, but very well done, and much better than Monkeyball.

[Darkflame]

Yes, Monkeyball disspointed me a lot.
Controlls wernt that bad, just not special enough to justify the rest of the game being uninspiring.

Apperently its using assets from the movie. (by which I think they meant they went to the set and took photos :p)

The problem with movie-ties is the deadlines for the films release.
Ruins everything normaly.

If I ever get the urge to web browse on my TV despite having a flash PC sitting here in the lounge, then that might matter to me.

I did. First game of each minigame I thought it was fantastic (except the baseball). Second was a bit... is this it? Third I got bored in. After that I was more interested in trying to work out how the Wiimote worked.

I like the Wii. I want to own one. But it's a party game machine and nowt else right now (Zelda excepted but it does nothing for me). And I've never known so many people so happy to sell a console they've had for three or four months.

Its amazing how often I use it for web browsing rather than go upstairs to browse on the Mac - at least 10 times a week.
