I'd forgotten all about Forever Blue. That's the best looking and most interesting sounding thing I've seen on the Wii so far. Any chance of a European release this year please.

RE4 Wii is in my bag ready for a session tonight (The Darkness took control of my weekend sessions). I haven't touched RE4 since completing the Cube version so I'm looking forward to a quick run through the main story and then tackling the extra content (skipped the PS2 and PC versions).

It's interesting to read on wikipedia just how many internal beta versions there were before finally locking down this version.

Roll on RE5

Just got Harry Potter.
Played about 2 hours, early impressions very good, allthough cant tell that much from mostly tutorials.

It actualy "feels" quite like the Lego Star Wars games, putting objects back together and pushing them about much like the force.
Lots of secrets too.

Framerate is a bit dodgy, but apart from that its certainly one of the best looking Wii games yet, if not the best.

Nintendo make great games, perhaps the Wii will have some great games too...?

Zelda: Twlight Princess should very certainly be in any "top100" list, if not the top 10.
Allthough I guess they could count that as a gamecube game.

Adult Face Training

Will be interesting to see what developers use the camera for in future.

That camera better flip over :-/

Also Mario Paint DS? Come ON Nintendo, it even fits your new non-gamer stuff.

Picked up Wii RE4 yesterday - nice. Controls work well, bit of a pity we cant have B as fire but apart from that it works nicely. Quicktime events seem easier with the wiimote. Still a classic game.

Screen is not as good.
Bigger.
Shorter battery life.

I assume not much seeing as all they've changed is the controls

The new Resident Evil: Umberella Chronicles trailer. Looks incredible - big improvement over the other trailers. The only RE I've played properly to date is RE4 , but this also looks like a must buy.
