With all the negative reviews about Red Steel what made you decide to pick that game up? I haven't played it since nobody had anything good to say but is it any good?yamiiguy wrote:I have my Wii + Zelda + Red Steel and I got a Classic Controller and 2000 Points and bought Super Mario 64 and Donkey Kong Country (only Europe have DKC so far)
Enjoy it! I know I am. Surprisingly, I'm completely addicted to the pack-in game, Wii Sports. I have barely played The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. That's not to say that it is a bad game, but, Wii Sports is one of those titles that surprises you, because it pulls you in, and you keep coming back, over and over. It's also a title that you can play for just a little amount of time, or for a long amount of time, depending on your mood. I've found myself getting a few minutes of Baseball and Tennis in, in the mornings, before going to work. My favorite games on it are Baseball, Tennis, and Bowling. Boxing is exhausting, actually, although it is fun. I completely suck at Golf. I believe it's not the fault of the controller, as much as it is me, because I suck at Golf, in real life. I've found that I really enjoy the Wii remote, and it feels completely natural to play using it. It's funny, because I've become accustomed to playing using the Wii remote. The other night, I put Super Smash Bros. in the Wii, and plugged in a GameCube controller, and it felt a little odd playing that way, because I'm now used to playing with the Wii remote.Just Myself wrote: It's a Christmas present, so I won't be able to say if playing it in my house is better than playing it in GameStop for another 2 1/2 weeks. I'm sure the remote will grow on me over time. So there you have, how JM got a Wii by total accidental luck and with no effort at all.
Cheers,
JM

I can't wait for Donkey Kong Country to be released. That will bring back good memories.

I agree with you about Boxing. It's quite fun, but, it is the most exhausting game in Wii Sports. Tennis is great, but, I've come to love playing Baseball, more. I also love the Training and Fitness Mode. Wii Sports is a great package, and I'm glad that they included it with the Wii.Loomis wrote: I got such a workout from Wii boxing, although I almost conked my poor girlfriend with a baseball swing
I agree, Tennis is by far and away the best game on the compilation, although that is partly because I actually play tennis as well. It is also the most intuitive control system.
As for Zelda, it gets better as you progress. I'm not that far into it, and the only niggle I have so far was the fiddly controls on the first fishing bit (the later flyfishing game looks a lot more fun).
I've been having a lot of fun playing GameCube discs though, with Resident Evil 4 and Super Mario Sunshine recently being added to my collection.
SPOILERS:The Merman wrote:The Best Zelda previous to Twillight Princess would have to be the Ocarina of Time for the 64! I played that game for hours and hours and never got boring! It is know as being the best Zelda game out there with most people. The Windwaker sucked, dont get that one.
Twillight Princes is good but not as good as Ocarina of Time. I am not so far into the game yet, cause I have only just met the second lightbeast thing and had to find a bridge and such. I am near Kokoriko village if I am correct.
It is nice to see some of the places from Zelda Ocarina of Time return into the story, but everything is just too easy! Ocarina of time was really hard, with all the songs and all the exploring. I mis the songs! I hope some sort of songs come back in this version at a later time, or some sort of instrument but time can only tell.
You howl a tunes as Wolf Link
I bought Gunstar Heroes and The Legend of Zelda this morning, not sure whether to keep the 900 points I have left for Toe Jam and Earl or buy Sonic or Ristar though: here's what we get:I'd get Super Mario 64 if you don't have it yet. Out of the three games you mentioned, I'd go 1. Ristar 2. Toe Jam & Earl 3. Sonic. Sonic is available on the Sonic Mega Collection and would be a much better option since you get more games and it would be only a little more money new or used.yamiiguy wrote:If anybody else here lives in Europe, our Virtual Console was updated this morning

they aren't recalling them actually, just giving out to people who wantGurgi30 wrote:For a 3rd post, here is a link from Nintendo to get your Wii-straps replaced. They've issued a recall of the straps that came at launch and replaced the .6 millimeter straps with one's that are 1.0 millimeters thick. This applies only to Wii's that were shipped prior to December.
