And let's face it GoW isn't anything new either. It's another simple 3rd person action/shooter. But it has been done so well it's worth buying.

Zelda is exactly the same.

In you're opinion, it's about time they came up with something new because Zelda is starting to suck balls now.

What i meant was it's like the 10th Zelda game to be released and they are always the same i would like to see something new.

You did waste money because it's not very good. You can't take any criticism of the 360 which is quite worrying considering it's only a games console.

GoW isn't anything new, denying it makes you dafter than you behave on these forums. In fact there is very little that is truly orginal and available on the 360 right now. That's not to say it doesn't have a good line up right now because it does.

My point was that games don't have to be groundbreaking to be good. Zelda isn't groundbreaking but it's a damn good game. Wind Waker was awesome and provided me tens of hours of fun.

In your opinion; They have come up with something new, the controls being the defining feature. Also how you can say they are all the same is beyond me, you come into my house and play on my Nes version of the first Zelda then tell me its no different to the latest versions.

Zelda in any shape or form is the best game ever made and it was only ever worried by Secret of Mana...only slightly worried.

I'm too hooked on Wii sports to play Zelda!

The wii version of Marvel Ultimate Alliance looks interesting too, uses the controller for the punches etc. I think I need to retire :)

My Wii finally arrived yesterday, got everyone round and created Mii's to play Wii sports, its so much fun I got a fitness age of 49 at the moment, my mate even broke into a sweat playing boxing and he goes to the Gym, he was really getting into it and was wining fights in the first round. Only jus touched on Zelda and I am very impressed.

Really looking forward to getting more games and more controllers Wii play had been posted so I will get that by the end of the week, all my mates want one now, Nintendo have really brought playabilty and fun back to the masses.

It's still a good game the gameplay is the same as it has ever been if not better the only missing is the edit mode which i'm not too bothered about it.

Daft? i'm just honest and say what i think if you don't like it tough luck.

Wii sports is the best game for the Wii right now and it's only a tech demo.

Don't make me laugh. If I cared about the ramblings of a dillusioned fanboi I would end my own suffering.

Exactly. The same as zelda, yet you still paid an overinflated price for it. And it's really only your opinion of wii sports. It may be the most innovative but it certainly isn't the best game available for the Wii. Zelda is.

Anyway this is far too subjective to argue about and you're a fool... so back to work it is.

Tbh though Ch3t that where the fun is from the remotes :). The console is cheap as, but for maximum fun you need 4 pads :) s

£14.99 for the nunchuck and £24.99 for the remote. so another £120 on extra gear :)

From work or DAOC :)


Probably both :)

For Wii sports it seems to give you the option to have more than one player per controller. Though clearly that won't work for tennis :)

HMV.co.uk appears to be the best place to buy additional controllers from, £25 for the remote and £11.99 for the nunchuk, used a voucher code meself to get the two for £32. Better than £40 at least :/

Oh Aada, I don't know if you've played the Wii at length, but Wii Sports isn't really the best game for the Wii in my opinion, that honour goes to Zelda, with Rayman being above Wii sports also.

Of course i'm expecting Trauma Centre to be more fun still, even if it is effectively a remake.

Oddly, the more I play the Wii, the less it's control scheme seems like a gimmick. It's like having a second analogue stick in your hand as opposed to your thumb, ought to make for some interesting games later on.

Earl, there's reportedly going to be weekly shipments of units to stores for the next few weeks, although if the reports are anything to go by they'll all be going to preorders so i'd not get my hopes up until early 2007 for picking one up off the shelf if I were your teacher. Could be wrong though.

Most places are receiving there second shipment on the 14th. So probably a good morning to pop in and see if there's any about.

Just been all over the Metro Centre tonight :)

Gamestation told me I will not get one till March.

Although I am phoning Tesco and Asda 3 times a day to see if they are receiving any.

Out of interest where can I pick up a copy of RE4?
Is the only place ebay? I can't find it on any of the usual places I go to for games.

Interesting info whipped, thanks!
Round my way, HMV are no hopers, they are still doing preorders, GAME too seem to still be filling 2nd wave preorders.
Virgin, Asda and Tesco are the places i'm hoping for, the woman at asda knows my voice now which is funny.
Virgin and Asda both said they had heard that they would be recieving some in the next day or two, although couldn't pin it down to an exact day.
Fingers crossed for tomorrow!

You can’t really count Zelda being the best game as it’s on the GC too? The control system for it is nice with the Wiimote and isn’t tiring but it doesn’t make it that much different from the GC version.

Still mainly loving WiiSports-Tennis! Its soooo satisfying to play.. really do get a feel that your actually playing in a way.. and its great when you get a good rally going too :p

Do any of you think that they'd be able to do a tennis game where you control where your player moves ? Seems possible with the analogue stick but might get a bit confusing using the wiimote too.. Maybe not though?
