Did Xenoblade push you to mod your Wii?

I'll probably check out Pikmin 2 at some point. I had a lot of fun with the first one on the Cube. So does the Wii controls work well for it? Seems like it would be a great fit. Also how is Xenoblade? worth the hype? I heard it doesn't really use motion controls which was kind of a buzzkill, but still looks like a solid game regardless. Plus Wii is starving for an RPG like this with some depth.

Oh, and I missed your question regarding the worth of Zangeki.. So I've seen it running at upwards of $70 to buy the import, which to me is definitly not worth it, epecially considering the risk of it not working because of region lock. Apparently there are some loaders like Gecko os that allow for region free games, but I wouldn't take the risk.  I'd jsay ust try to download and play it using usb loader or something if you have the means.

Pikmin 2 you should definitely get. I can't say a bad word about that game, and the pointer controls feel like a natural fit to me (haven't played the original).

Xenoblade I am also expecting to be a memorable experience, but alas, my copy is still in the mail...

and $70!? I don't think there exists a game I would pay that much to play... I'll see if I can maybe find someone I know to look for it in Japan on their next visit..
