Oh I already hate FOES with a passion. They seem to chew my beloved party up and spit them out again. Even my tank down the front gets bitch-slapped every time.

Avoid contact is my current tactic until I'm strong enough to waste 'em. Thank God for the volt spell is all I can say.

At this point I should say in here especially that I've had a Wii for five days now and I am besotted with it. It's beautiful. I need more Miis though

That's me surprised then

I still hold out hope for the western release though

Glad you finally got hold of one. And 6, nay, 7 months in i have to say it's still as much as thing of beauty as the day i bought it.

As has already been discussed by Jimaroid and myself, if it's anything like Contra III then it's definitely for MEN only. Which explains why I'm shit at it because I'm just not very manly. I got to level three then started crying. One of the games worth looking at on the Wii VC if you can handle it.

Should be good on the DS I reckon.

Aye, Contra III was difficult and all the better for it I think. I managed to complete it and had great fun doing so. I'd probably be crap at it now, mind you.

If that's true, it's bloody impressive - Matsushita are fecking huge.

4-fold increase in 2 years. That would have been a sweet buy.

And this time two years ago we were well into the DS/Wii era, at least in knowing what was on the cards terms. A misguided console design in the 64 and a botched marketing life for the PS2-beating Gamecube do not a complete picture make. Nintendo are in posession of as many faults as the rest but they are the arch pioneers, brought the market back from the dead, dominated for most of their life and generated more icons and franchises than most of the competition put together.

And when they channel a bunch of these profits into integrating the updated Wii with whichever format wins the next-gen DVD war, everyone in the world will own one. And second hand gamecube games will be worth ten time what PS2 games go for at that point. This is indeed astounding news in many ways that we've seen today but let's face it, Nintendo are the daddies and we've always known it.

So - some decent games for Wii now, please....

I know that Nintendo has it's share of skeletons in the closet, but they still, after all these years, represent gaming the way I prefer; innovation, playability and fun comes before mindless violence and eye-candy. That is why I still cheer for them, even after the mediocre GC.

The N64 rocked, though...no other console has had as many "must-have" titles. At least according to me

A 360 game outsells a PS3 one? Madness I tell thee...

Of course, that's probably a copy of Trusty Bell to every 360 owner in Japan now, so it won't be in the top 30 next week...

Woah, that's rather impressive - I thought something as hard / frustrating as Ninja Gaiden (especially given that it's been an xbox exclusive in the past and nobody in Japan had an xbox) would have sold by the bucket load in Japan.

Cheers

One for our host: http://www.n-europe.com/news.php?nid=10643

Today, Crave Entertainment and Professional Bull Riders, Inc. announced that they were working on a Bull Riding video game.

Crave claim that â€œToughest Sport on Dirtâ€, Professional Bull Riding, has become the fastest growing sport in the US. Crave feel that the skill needed to stay on a bucking bull would translate well into a video game.

Crave announced that the Bull Riding game will appear on multiple platforms in Autumn 2008, so a Wii and/or DS version is likely.

Where's Battalion Wars? It used to be August-ish?
