Yeah I love SSX so really looking forward to this. I just hope it's new content and not a rehash of one of the PS2 versions, all of which I've played to death.


I just checked a review of Super Monkey Ball. Please tell me I don't have to play it with the Wiimote pointing forward and I can actually hold it in both hands Excite Truck style? :?

Well a lot of the comments on YouTube seem to imply that there seems to be a fair bit of SSX3 in it.

How fucking hard is it to make cables for christ's sake?
Calm down, it's not a European thing, they've fucked up on the demand for component world-wide. More people, or at least early-adopter gamers, have more HD tellies than Ninty were anticipating. They got it wrong. Making do with composite for a while isn't the end of the world to be honest. Just sit further back from the TV or something.

Sounds like a man who's never seen what composite looks like on my HDTV (And probably most HDTVs). Utterly awful. I wouldn't even bother with it.

The funny thing is I remember Nintendo underestimating the RGB cable demand on the Gamecube launch. Don't they have analysts for this sort of shit? Can we fire them?

Are we going to be able to get RGB cables at all? That would help a little if I didn't have component.

Why does everyone on this forum have to be a patronising piece of shit these days? Aren't I allowed to have a bit of a rant when Nintendo do something stupid that directly effects something I'll be spending a lot of money on next week?

Well, I'm with you. Only quieter!

I won't even look into getting a Wii until a decent way of attaching it to my TV is available...

Preach loud Brother Misfit. Nintendo might take our component cables but they'll never take our etc.

It's not a total loss. I've got a shitty 4:3 21 incher squeezed into the room but it's not really in a great position for Wii gaming and it's certainly not quite like playing with my 32 inches.
