I am, mainly because I'm poor at it.

I've also been checking out the new games on wiicade.com that can use the D-pad and the tilting controls. Proper Tetris

I have installed my Wii key, Need to pick up some dvd-r media tomorrow to test it out. only have the Wiikey setup software to play with at the minute, no backups or import games.

Had a bit of a problem though, one of the pads I was soldering to came off!! So I just put that part of the Wiikey straight to the chip on the Wii pcb.

Can anyone reccomend me any homebrew stuff thats worth playing with?

I'd like to, but time is short, and I'd really need to get back to Zelda, I'm still only in the beginning. ET is a great game!

Yes - I played it last week, and it was pure adrenalin from start to finish. Great game.

Just bought Kororinpa, which is perfect to play with my daughter, who finds the control schemes for most games on the Wii to be too cumbersome still (she's not quite 5). Really nice little game, and no sign of motion sickness with it yet..

Also bought Resident Evil 4, which is really good fun.

Along with Galaga 90, Wave Race 64 and Adventures of Lolo, I'm more than happy at the moment.

Excite truck, I have 2 tacks left on mirror to get s's on, what do I unlock, other than a feeling of smugness by doing so?

WiiKey is working, but still have nothing much tested with it, other than a media player, the snes emulator loads but I have no files to throw its way - as of yet.

Got my Wii back - all happy and working again.
Luckily nothing had changed on it apart from the date having been reset!

I'm sad to say that I haven't actually used my Wii for the last few months, it's been mostly the 360. But with the release of MP3 and Mario Galaxy that is about to change

Just beat Bowser on that one... boy was that close, we had one health point, no flower points, a damaged companion and no star energy left

And we needed about four life shrooms, jamming jelly, an ultraschroom too...

Waiting for a copy of "Thousand year door" through the post now... the kids have really got into the whole Mario thing. They're sitting down at the table now talking about how my son is scared of Boo but my daughter has some Boo Juice with her dinner...

Thousand Year Door is just lovely, I'm sure you will love it.

I'll have to have a good hard think about what order to put the games in after I have done this and SPM. I already have a hard time chooseing between TYD and SuperStarSaga.

Metroid really is fucking fantastic. Production values are through the roof. The menus are perfect. Control is damn near it. You start the game in the gunship, and you even get to look around the cockpit and poke buttons! Then you lay in a course and push the throttle forward. Any player not grinning like an idiot by this point should stop playing games. The opening scenes play out like a cross between Halo and Star Wars [No disintegrations!]. The Ridley fight is ultra-super-badass. BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT!

[Yes, I'm a total Metroid fanboy. I own every Metroid game [three copies of the first, actually] and my purchases of a SNES and Gamecube both included copies of Metroid games. I regret nothing.]

WILL EVERYONE SHUT UP ABOUT HOW GOOD METROID IS FOR A FEW MONTHS!

If you're desperate to play it then why not mod your Wii and buy the US version?
