There's tons of incentive to play Ghost Squad after the three levels. It's a high score game where, the more you play, the more paths and scenarios in the levels you open up. Plus there's experience earned after each time the game is completed, and ranking up opens up new weapons. They get a lot of milage out of those three levels.

Alsp- Ninja and Paradise modes. :lol:

I got Zack and Wiki yesterday (a day early, well done mail order). Played it for a while last night with the girlfriend and we both enjoyed it. Really nice art style, great puzzles, lovely uses for the wiimote.

Geomotry Wars sounds good but not sure if I will buy it as it sounds it would benefit a lot from the classic controller and not sure if I want to invest in one of those yet. Anyone played it here... if so, how is play with wiimote and nunchuck?

No More Heroes has been having some great reviews, so that is next months Wii purchase sorted. :)

I don't have a classic controller so I will be using Wiimote and Nunchuk.

I hope it doesn't kill it playing it that way. :D I'm sure it will be fine.

Excellent. To be honest I didn't need that much in the way of convincing - I'm a sucker for arcade light gun games. 8)

Indeed.

Oh, but while this is here, people should check out some of the Iwata Ask's.
They got the original Zelda maps/concepts and its history a bit.

Apperently some aspects. of Links Awakening were inspired by Twin Peaks O_o

That's a really good read. You wouldn't think they were this big worldwide company.

It sounds like they were just a bunch of guys having a laugh and doing what they wanted.

"Of course that wouldn't happen these days" is a shame.

Ahh, smug mode. Two quick qestions though.
Anyone played Tenchu wii? Any good or waggle bobbins? Reviews can't seem to make their minds.
Am I the only one really looking forwards to the new Endless Ocean And Trauma games?

Geometry Wars Galaxies is great on the Wii, it plays really well with Nunchuck and Wiimote, doesn't take long to "learn" the controls. Also, if you have the DS version you can link the two and unlock an extra galaxy in each game.
