Cripes, Wii is selling a quarter of a million units per week?

Heck yes, Wii is just about the coolest games console there is.

A little from column A, a little from column B.

That would be http://www.ukresistance.co.uk then

Of course Nintendo are still, and always, the ""best"" game marker on average. They are a huge publisher with a lot of resources, some of the longest working and most skilled people in the industary, and just about as much expirence as you can get.

Its only to be expected that (normally) their games are a cut above the rest, and their systems very very fun.

They arnt in it for anything other then the Games. If there games arnt fun, or they lose their reputation they dont make cash.
They really havnt got a fall-back or secondary concerns.

I see this as, imho, a fair assiment.
It only becomes fanboyish if you think something is good because it is Nintendo, or that the competition also cant sometimes produce stunningly fun stuff.

As I'm on work tomorrow afternoon, I'm checking the VC downloads to see what time the new ones appear. I wonder if it will be before I go to bed?

/edit 1 am apparently. Might play some excite truck instead then...

//editedit also it's SFII Hyper Fighting and Silent Debuggers. Yawn.

Curiously this didn't bother me. Maybe because I've played the King of item switching zelda games "Links Awakening". Bombing innocent Gorons was a much bigger deal for me. "Last of the Gorons? eat this! Kaboom! Brother."

If wonder if you'll be able to fire a catapult with the nunchuck and wiimote? Does the game feature a catapult, peashooter and stink bombs, etc, or is it more 'adult' than that?

Nice combo, have fun and stay calm

I've not had fun with a game like Excite Truck for ages... Trying to get an S on each track is HARD... But not unfair, cheating hard -- so it keeps me coming back for more

And now I've put some proper tunes on my SD card, I find that my ears bleed less

I seem to do best when Scott Walker is on for some reason... I think Amsterdam was playing when I got my 490m air
