Woo Shinobi 3.

Christ games are coming out faster for 16bit machnes than they were back in the day. Reckon Nintendo are trying to get the whole back catalogues out for the VC emulated machines before the new Wii downloadable games arrive?

If you're not following the Smash Bros site, you'll have missed todays announcement about one of the new game modes:

Ooh love my Boulderdash. You could do with seeing a bit more of the level mind. I'd gladly sacrifice some graphical style for that.

Looks a bit garish for my tastes... I hope they haven't gone Revolution on it. :(

I made the mistake of picking up a copy of Red Steel. RE4 was sold out and I fancied something FPS-like for my Wii. Christ, what a piece of shit that is. I'll try and trade it in for something worthwhile today.

Not played it myself, but the general feeling that people had at launch was stick with it and after a couple of hours it becomes not too bad.

What do you think of the Mario football game? Does it live up to the hype?

I actually found it got worse the longer I played it. The controls were not nearly as bad as some people thought as long as you took a little time to configure them, but the game itself was pretty tedious, uninspired fodder.

Tish and Fipsy, Mario Strikers Charged is a masterpiece. Also play online for no money at all ever.

I tend to agree with Edge about Zelda:DS - controls and style are just amazing - the Jap speak aint so good though so roll on October for the US release :)

I think Red Steel is very good fun - after you master the controls and get past the badly designed "tutorial". Great action and enjoyable sfx & bgm. There is however a problem with how the cursor works, there's a small and very unnecessary dead zone in the centre which makes the smallest of adjustments almost impossible to make, especially if you want to be fast. Anyways, it gets the job done, but I'm sure many people would've given the game a better chance if the cursor was as responsive as it should've been -> Wii Menu, Shooting Range, Eledees, RE4, etc.

Couple of key settings for me are:

Aiming Sensitivity: Medium (this affects how fast you turn when you point to the edge of the screen)

+

Sword Moves: Short

Picking up targets and head shots like this with the Wiimote just can't be nothing but fun, imo:

What do you guys think are the main problems in RS?
