You Brits just never learn. We'll have to teach you one hell of a lesson and take the Ashes back this summer 😊

I'm getting incredibly impatient for the Wii... 20 days to go 😞.

Sure, you can have the Ashes... of your parents.

According to Amazon, we'll get the GCN version of Zelda on the 15th Dec. When do you guys get it?

Why bother burning my parents, it's far easier stealing the ashes of English cricket.

About the same time, EBgames exclusive.

Nintendo.com says December 11, the Zelda website says December 12, Nintendo's press site says December 13.

In short, no one knows.

Yeah, but that's no fun.

So we're supposedly getting it a couple days after you. At least I can get it for the Christmas break.

I don't know exactly what it was, but suddenly I went from being very excited about Wii to alot more cautious. I think it was reflecting on the GameCube launch, as well as what the money I would spend on Wii could be put toward.

Just suddenly I really thought about it, 250$ for a system that I would be looking to buy Zelda and Red Steel for. Zelda, I could eventually obtain for GameCube. Red Steel I've heard is average, nothing that special. There's no netplay or anything, it's just a FPS with the Wii control which is interesting but having never used it is no slam dunk of awesomeness. There are many other games that seem fun like Elebits and Super Monkey Ball, but I realized I can still play all those for alot less money if I just wait this time around. With GameCube, I bought that thing right around launch for about 2 games. Super Smash Bros Melee and Star Wars Rouge Leader. Sure later on there's Resident Evil 4 which later was no longer exculsive. There was Mario Kart, Star Fox, F-Zero GX (which I loved soooooo much too), and um Metroid Prime. That's really about it.

And right now I'm alot less optimistic about more non-Nintendo titles. I was optimistic with GameCube. That didn't work out well. Sure all the Nintendo titles are solid games. But I'm not wanting to pay launch prices for all that this time. Maybe I'm motivated by the fact that I really could use a LCD HDTV right now for my 360 as well as my classic arcade gaming hobby. My current TV is a standard CRT (not even flat screen, no svideo) and it can't handle 53hz extended resolution of Mortal Kombat the arcade hardware. So if I got a nicer TV first, I could get my arcade hobby going again as it went to a stand still after I was too bothered by the low quality of composite video as well as the complete unusability of Mortal Kombat 1 and 2. Plus I certainly wouldn't mine playing my 360 games in 720p.

Bluedeath, could you shrink your signature image down a bit. It's pretty damn big.

You mean GS, right? And they also gave the Wii version of LoZ:TP an 8.8.
Those do sound pretty low, but I'm going to wait until I've played the games myself before I try to pass judgement. To be honest, if the stuff mentioned in the RS review is true I'm not sure I would have given it more than a 4.

Well I think they're right. Red Steel isn't all it's cracked up to be. It's no Goldeneye or Perfect Dark in gameplay terms. It's framerate probably isn't a smooth as slik 60fps. It's not going to have really pretty graphics, infact some shots I saw looked pretty bad.

I already had doubts about the Wii's very underpowered hardware, and not what was supposed to be a hit game, Red Steel, doesn't seem to be all it should have been. PS3 is going as I expected so far. A bad launch, and a slow grinding start. Only time will tell if they pick up speed or break down. I'm definitely thinking though, that they will atleast grind on forward.

If anyone gets TP, you have to say how it is. You know, a nice little something to get us all excited. Not a "W00T IT'S TEH AW3SOME" and not a spoilerific review, just a paragraph or two of impressions.

Or you can brag and rub it in our faces. =[

He has a good point. "This is a "fuck you" from Nintendo to the people that said WW didn't have enough dungeons".

I just hope there are borders so your cursor doesn't leave the screen.
