Is Megadrive Crackdown any good?
Shining In The Darkness? Get with the plan Sega - the only Shining game we want to see is Shining Force 2 (actually I'd like to see Shining Force 3 but thats a Saturn game so that's pretty much not going to happen).

Shining Force 3 is sitting nice and comfy in my saturn-collection

That is soooo cool. Anyone else think the texture and sheen looks fantastic for a shader-challenged console?

I want to tap on my Worms, or at least move the map around with the stylus!

Ooh, didn't know that this is released... hmm only USA version yet but I cant wait. Downloading now just to try!

Paper Mario Thousand Year Door feels much less innocent than Paper Mario did, thanks to the localisation: the dialogue tries to be much more sassy and cynical...

Just wanted to chime in and mention how much I am enjoying metroid Prime: corruption, thanks to my wiikey!

In ways it feels dumbed down, perhaps americanized, where the original was, I thought, more sophisticated. But it flows better, with objectives being more obvious, theres less time to just wander around and get bored.

Great sound, Great controls and improved visuals.

Its like an exact port O_o

Is this the Complete Saga jobbie then?

Cos LSWII/Original Trilogy was a bit cack on DS compared to the other versions, so if they've redone that as part of this, then I'm there with money in hand.

I think they've binned all the DS stuff and started from scratch again. I wasn't aware it was going to be an exact port of the previous games (that would be cool though), I suspect they'll do something DS-specific, but hopefully it wont suck this time. There's apparently no PSP version....

What I played of TCS at Lipzieg seemed an exact port.
The selection screen, bar, charecter select and level layout seemed a match.

I'm sure theres a few level layouts pieces that have to be changed, but it wasnt apparent on a small playtest.

I didnt notice any bugs, but I only played for 5 minutes and the first level, so it hardly is a good judge for that.

From CVG -

"Nintendo will show off the capabilities of its new Wii Zapper peripheral with a new game called Zelda Crossbow Training, according to reports.

Apparently shown to GameStop managers in a presentation in Las Vegas today, Zelda Crossbow Training is a simple, third-person target shooting game believed to be using the Twilight Princess engine.

It is yet to be confirmed if this is the pack-in game Nintendo promised would show off the abilities of the new peripheral as Wii Play did the Wii Remote. It could be one mini-game in a compilation of many.

Check back throughout the day for updates."

Good use of a franchise or cynical money spinner - you decide

Twlight Princess already has quite a few nice targety shotty bits in it.

Sure they wernt just demoing one of them and got the story mixed up a bit?
