*Notices Nick's location above* >=0 I like Australia! ><
I'm getting Mario Kart Wii sometime soon hopefully and I have been told it's good so we shall see. I have it on lay-buy at Target! I am also getting Wii Fit which I also lay-buyed. Love to know how I'm going to pay it off, no job!I'm really looking forward to Wii Fit though, it looks like fun and a great way to exercise without going outside haha.
I was going to get mario cart Wii to. I have tried it before at a friends house, it was awesome. which reminds me I was planing on getting a product called beer goggles which is meant to simulate being drunk and then play a driving game. Virtual drunk driving Yaaaaaaaaaaay!
In an answer to Cheez's virtual drunk driving.
Just have a beer while playing, its not that hard. I do it from time to time. I mean, and i even play with the Wii Steering which is so insanely accurate. Then again, i recommend not going through rainbow road.
But really, this is a great game. The only thing i despise is that the items are given out in a needy manner. Suffice to say 12th place will receive the better and 1st place will only get bananas or green shells.
Still fun!
Go yoshi

I haven't been playing as many games of late due to my security and first aid courses BUT I finally found my copies of Donkey Kong 64 and Banjo Kazooie.
I bloody love those games.

WHAT how did you know, how did you get that from that Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!
^ Please don't spam in our lovely club. ><
Brawl is coming out here soon, yay! I shall be getting that too, I think most of us will eh? I don't know if I'll get it straight away though. Any other good releases this year? I know nothing about all that.. I'm slow. =(
I saw those steering wheels at EB games the other day and they're so cool, they are pretty colors. I am so getting one!
I'm hugely looking forward to Brawl. I'm expecting it to be the best game I've ever played, I hope I don't get disappointed. Like I was with Pokemon Pearl, it wasn't bad just didn't live up to what I expected, Probably because I'm a lot older since I played Gold.
I've now spent 10,000 wii points on the virtual console. Some of the game I got include Mario 64, Paper Mario, Devil's Crush and Super Ghouls and Ghosts. Paper Mario is still as awesome as I remember it, a great Mario Themed RPG that's as good as Final Fantasy, just not as long unfortunately.
I thought Diddy Kong Racing was better on the N64 then Mario Kart 64. But the DS Mario kart is better then Diddy Kong Racing on the DS, Although Diddy Kong Racing offers a much better Single Player experience.

I am really looking forward to Smash Brothers Brawl as well. It looks like it will live up to it's expectations. I hope it does. But I did love the original and Melee and this one looks even better.
I picked up Wii Fit the other day Kirsty. But I havn't been able to play it because my Wii is packed away. Moving is no fun. However my Mum claims it is hers so she will probably use it more then I will. Even though I really do like the concept.
That's awesome Cilla, I am going to lay-buy it when K-Mart get it in for me. I have a raincheck on it. They have it for $119 so I thought that I would get it there. That was one of the cheapest prices I saw. I am also getting Mario Kart, Mum put it on lay-buy too so hopefully I can pick that one up soon. I might get one of those groovy steering wheels at EB games since they are a good price. Mum will probably want to play too.. maybe.
Cheapest price? what price have you found Brawl for because I am planing on getting a lay by for it. but also it occurred to me that if most of us are planing on getting a multiplayer game for the Wii, is there also a thread for exchanging Wii friend codes? or do people just do that in PM's. Because I think it would be mega awesome times 1000 if I had more people to play online multiplayer with.
Woah, that is an awesome price. I'm moving down to Aussie and getting me a Wii there.Originally posted by Crazy Chocobo

Ugh, and I hate it when my dad plays my games. I'm not a game hog but he can sit there for hours and hours and let it devour his sense of a reality chip that he has until my mom tells him to get his ass up and do something active.
As for there being any good releases on the Wii, I have no idea. Good ones in particular I've heard is Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles is you're into the horror games. Other then that, I don't know much what's big and hot on the Wii.
They need a Donkey Kong game though on Wii. It's a MUST. I should look and see if there's any planned in the works so I can get me a Wii when that day games. I recall playing the one with the drums on the Gamecube. That was pretty fun but the game got too repetitive, too quick. I liked the SNES and the N64 versions of Donkey Kong.
Actually.. I was talking about Wii Fit, Cilla mentioned it in her post before me. It's normally $140-$150 at most stores but K-Mart has it for $119 so of course I'm getting it there. If an actual Wii console was that cheap... that would be amazing but nope haha.Woah, that is an awesome price. I'm moving down to Aussie and getting me a Wii there.
I'd type more but I'm horribly tired and can't be bothered. ><
I have my doubts about the Wii Fit's mat thingaling. It honestly doesn't look all that sturdy to me looking at pictures of it. I could be wrong but I've seen fake snowboard controlled video game peripherals and the like of similar sizes snap in half...
So yeah I wouldn't be surprised to see a max weight of like 50-70kg.
As for Donkey Kong, as far as I'm concerned the best of them was Donkey Kong Country 2, then the original Donkey Kong Country came in at second, and Donkey Kong 64 snatches a clean third. I found DK64 to be the funniest, but there was no beating the gameplay of the first couple of Donkey Kong Country games. I didn't mind the third Donkey Kong Country, but did find I found it fairly disappointing after the first two. Anyone else notice that?

I wonder if they have GBA versions of them. I would love to play them again. It's been so long I have even thought of playing them too.
Fine by me, I am very much within that weight range. Well obviously it won't be too much any way otherwise it would definitely snap in half. >_> It won't be a main tool for weight loss for a start, it's just to help stay in shape. I believe it will be a great item to have and I can't wait to start using it. My Mum is going to use it as well haha, she reckons it looks cool.
The acutal weight limit for Wii Fit is 150kg. So I’m sure all of you will be fine. =D. It acutally is a lot sturdier then it looks and I have found no problems with it. But it’s not really for dramatic weight loss anyway. So if you were over 150kg you would probably be advised something else instead ^^.
Well there you go, you really are getting your money's worth then eh? 150 Kg is a very suitable weight for it so tons of people can purchase it and use it. Yeah, it definitely wouldn't be a main source of weight loss, it's just a game but still I'm sure it is useful to maintain your health so that you don't gain weight. My Mum is really looking forward to it as well because she wants to use it as much as me I think.
Yay! I hope K-Mart bring it in soon for me. ><
Morik the Rouge dude, long time no see great to have you back. You surely are a prophet. So mister prophet what is your next premonition.As my first post here since returning to the internet after a year long hiatus, I would like to draw everyones attention to the following post, made here about a year and a half ago by your's truly:
This, my friends, is what is called: "prophecy."
It was around Christmas time last year that I became aware of just how correct I was. I was in Best Buy and I noticed the huge display of PS3's in the middle of the store. And the display about a quarter that size of 360's. And the signs saying, "Wii sold out."
This seemed to be the pattern. 360's selling, sure, but still very much in stock. PS3's sitting on shelves collecting dust. And Wii's nowhere to be seen. I think I may have hit the nail on the head, all those many months ago.
And now, it just looks to get better for Nintendo. Two words: "Force Unleashed."
Sure, it'll be available on other platforms. But who cares? No ones going to buy it on anything but a Wii.
Why?
Two more words: "Wii lightsaber."
Seriously, I know that those exact words went through everyones head when the Wii remote was revealed. Well, actually it was probably more like, "Wtf?! Wait... ...(audible sound of wheels turning) ... ...MOTHER****ING LIGHTSABERS ON THE MOTHER****ING WII!!!!!!!"
Meanwhile, Sony's still going down the drain. The only thing going for them is that Blu Ray seems to have won the war against HD. Of course, the 360 is modular and thus not tied to any one format and the Wii doesn't use either of them. And last I heard the only exclusive title they still had was MGS. Apparently this is because the mad genius Hideo Kojima managed to fill an entire Blu Ray disk (like 50 gigs, right?) with MGS 4, making release on any other system (barring a 360 with a Blu Ray module) basically impossible.
I also understand that the people behind Halo jumped ship. Seems they weren't entirely happy with Halo 3, and were interested in working on some other projects while all Microsoft wanted was more Halo's. I also heard that Microsoft put the kaibosh on machinima, willingly depriving themselves of countless hours of free advertising, as well as pissing off a lot of people. How this will affect things is yet to be seen.
So, in the final analysis, "one of the all time greatest comebacks," does seem to be well on it's way.
On a related note: raw potential
Oh, and the name's "Rogue." Check the member list Max. You did it again. People might get the wrong idea.
I will always like DK64 the most because frankly in terms of genres 3D platformers get a 9/10 and 2D platformers get 6/10, in terms of how much I enjoyed the genres. DK64 is one of the greatest 3D platformers of all time matched only by Banjo Tooie. I've just about clocked my first Virtual Console game, Paper Mario, which is great because I never actually finished this game originally and with this game I actually preferred the Classic controller over the original N64 controller. Anyway it really is one of the greatest RPGs beaten only by Thousand Year Door and Final Fantasy... oh and Super Mario RPG.
Now I need to decide which game to play next on VC I've got familiar classics such as Mario 64 and Super Mario World. But also apparently good game I've never played before such as Actraiser and Landstalker. Familiar or new hmmm hard decision. I tend to be a bit reluctant to try new old games I don't know why.

The most I've ever weighed is 110kg. Even now at 98kg, I bet if I jumped on that thing enough times it'd break.
Seriously, I've broken things that look a whole lot harder. So unless there's some sort of metal in there...
It really doesn't seem right.
Hell, I'll buy one to test out my theory. When it dies, I'll be singing 'warranty'. If they say I was to heavy, I'll point out that 150kg weight limit with a grin on my face and then let them weigh me. If I'm wrong all that'll happen is I'll own a game I'll never play.

Of course it's going to break, it isn't meant to be jumped on. >_>The most I've ever weighed is 110kg. Even now at 98kg, I bet if I jumped on that thing enough times it'd break.
Haha, I have not been playing much lately.. mainly just Wii Sports which can be very addictive! I have given up on Guitar Hero for now but I will probably get back into it sooner or later.
If I end up getting that job then I will be able to afford more games which would be pretty awesome. *Is trying not to get her hopes up* -_-'
I would like to get a good fishing game for the Wii, does anybody have any suggestions? I like fishing games!
LoZ: Twilight Princess has fishing I believe...I would like to get a good fishing game for the Wii, does anybody have any suggestions? I like fishing games!
Apart from that, just look for any games that advertise it. I've even seen one that came with a fishing rod shell for the Wii, but unfortunately I didn't get the name as those kinds of games aren't the ones I end up playing more than a little.

Hey everyone, I suppose many of you are already enjoying the greatness that is Smash Bros Brawl, here in Australia I still have to wait until the 26th of June. In the meantime I've been writing a fanfiction about Smash Bros Brawl containing silly comedy, check it out here in the literature forum or on Fanfiction.net http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4299150/1/ and please tell me what you think.

Yeah, I hope I can afford it when it comes out, I hope to be working by then.
The last game I got for a Nintendo console was a Dragonball Z game for the DS, I can't remember the name, it's something technical and it's a card game. Unfortunately I haven't really played any yet because I've been playing other games instead.
Eh, I don't think I have anything else to say at the moment.
I have pre-ordered Brawl but soon after it is released I will be leaving to go to America and eat their awesome food and on the way back I spend 1 week in Tokyo. But I will be parted from the love that is brawl.
I acutally opened my Wii Fit and played it today and it is incredibly fun. It is funny to watch un-co people do the Hula Hoop exercise. It is acutally a lot better then I thought it would be. It even told my friend my birthday was coming up and if she had got me a present o.o.
I got Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 for the Wii yesterday. Apparently it isn't as good as the first but I got it for $34 so that's fine by me. Having played it yet but I will tonight when I go home.
I'm looking to pick up Mario Kart Wii in the near future, that looks awesome.
Sounds awesome, I still have mine on lay-buy. I think it will stay there for a while yet. I have not bought any Nintendo games lately but there are a ton coming out that I would like. If I was working now then it would be so much easier to get them but I'm not and that sucks! I think I'm starting sometime soon anyway which is good.
It told your friend that? Hahaha, how cool is that?! That's something unique. I so want to play it/use it now! Hope you enjoy it Cilla.
Yes it did. If you are on it late at night it asks you if you are tired and ready to go to bed yet. You set goals on it as well. Say lose 2kg in 2 weeks and it records your progress and checks everytime. Even if you lose the slightest bit of weight it congratulates you.
Oh and if you cheat on an exercise by say putting your foot down at the end it will be like "Did I see you put your foot down during the exercise" It knows all.
LOL! Wow, it seems to know everything. That's pretty cool. It even asks you to go to bed? That's interesting, it sounds like it likes to be in charge.
I bought some batteries a while back for my Wii controllers, NiMH or whatever they are, they are meant to be great for those controllers but I find that the ones I have don't last as long as I thought. I even believe the original batteries you get with the controller lasted longer. These are Duracell brand, what do you guys use? I'm curious to know.
I just use Panasonic batteries. But I am probably going to get those docking stand charges you can get because you will end up saving a lot of money. You can get one for Wii Fit as well so they are a pretty good idea. Oh and discounted at the moment too.
Because the Wii chews through batteries like there is no tommorow.
