Am I the only one who has never actually played any of Minter's games? I sorta feel left out quite often...perhaps it's time I gave them a go, y'know, just to that I can contribute every now and then.

Wait a minute, I have played "revenge of the mutant camels", at least the one where you control the bouncy camel...but that is just about the only one.

Yup, we had this discussion before. The concensus, from Yak himself, is that it wouldn't work very well. Too twitchy. And he's right.

Yeah the pointy Wiimote isn't suited to shmups really.

Using the nunchuk stick for movement and the Wiimote to aim in a Geometry Wars style game might work nicely though.

Sorry Snakey, i jumped the gun there a bit

Also, with users' cooperation, we could compile data on which game was the most played that year.

http://ms.nintendo-europe.com/wii/?site ... tml&l=enGB

Actualy, that would be interesting.

Especialy too see the "most played" game for different regions of the world.
Then as a reflective percentage of owners too.

(eg, are there games lots of people buy but dont play much? games that few people buy but play a lot? ect ect)

This is a bit technical, but by using the + and - Buttons on the Wii Remote

So they are keeping the +/- then? Seems good too me.
Cant stand Select

A: Â£9.99 (Deposit) + Â£179.99 (Wii) + Â£5.99 (Delivery) = Â£195.97 in total

Well, I hope Yak has a chance to give the Wii a good workout, and find out if this would be the case. I don't necessarily think the wiimote would be too twitchy, but I'd have to see the thing in motion with enough games to really tell.

I'd love to see games like Gridrunner++ on other platforms. Live Arcade, or Nintendo DS, or Wii, or whatever. Heck, give 'em all the games. Gimmie back my mower!
