I want this game so bad...

But I also want Other M, NMH2, NSMBW, Sonic The Hedgehog 4 Ep.1, RB3, GHWOR, (but I can't play those two 'cuz I only have the Wii at my dorm), a Naruto game (not sure which one),  and soooo much more...

I have so little money though. I just bought a guitar a few months ago, an anniversary present for my gf, and I'm trying to save up for the 3DS because Nintendo won't release it before Christmas ;o;

Pirating on my Wii is becoming a more and more appealing option... that or getting a job while in college... but it's already hard to keep up in my classes and I hardly even play videogames anymore ;o;

Piracy its never a good option, specially if you don't have the time to play them anyway. My sugestion, make a plan...

NMH2 its very cheap right now (20 dollars) and around 12-15 hours long.

Sonic The Hedgehog 4 Ep. Its NOT a good investment, too short and not very cheap.

Metroid: Other M is full price and around 15 hours to complete 100%

You can find the Naruto games very cheap right now, as none of those are new, and the multiplayer options will extend the life of the game.

Try saving some money every week (around 8-12 dollars would be fine), and when you complete enough money go buy one of the games in your list, start with the cheaper and longer ones, that way you have more time to save for the others, you will see that you can add at least 1 game per month and it will be enough to fill your busy schedule anyway.

Also wait before buying the Nintendo 3DS, yes there are great games coming, but we don't have a final launch list, and you gain nothing from being a first adopter.

Awesome!  I'm glad that this game received a good score.  I didn't play the original but I plan on buying this game this week.



the original was great. check out a pawn shop and you may find it and a N64.

I have a friend who has a N64 and the original game so I might have to go and play it at his house one day :).

you know those games peopel say is a must play. well if you can go to his house and play the original.

you'll also notice the need for a second analog.



Escapist Magazine gave Goldeneye 5/5 stars, which is pretty damn significant considering that I find them to be one of the more trustworthy game critics on the internet.

Bought myself a copy from GAME.co.uk yesterday purely on the strength of that review - but to be fair I have been waiting for a great Wii FPS that isn't a port for four years. I resisted the likes of MOH, The Conduit and COD knowing they were late/lazy/not good enough. I  hope that in Goldeneye I've found that FPS at last. Wii controls are absolutely perfect for a good FPS!

It should arrive tomorrow. Excited now.

Uh not sure where you got the CoD4/W@W was lazy/not good enough, CoD4 might have been late but still CoD4 is great, W@W would have been better if they had more time even then the online was really balanced.  MOH H2 was just alright and The Conduit was bogged down by hackers.  

But yeah singleplayer and local multiplayer wise nothing matches GoldenEye, the singleplayer outclasses most FPS games this gen in length and quality.  Online is up there but CoD4 actually does a bit better.

Sales wise the game seems to be doing good in my area. One local Walmart didnt have any instock. The other walmart did but only a few copies left. The single player is pretty good. I like the way the story was done and the mission so far..Online seems good. Tho the camera movements are a little disorienting (the camera seems to shake like its trying to capture your walking/running movements). Only played for a little bit...will get more time tomorrow. Fun game so far.

Another fine review from ONM.  90/100

Buying in 2015: Captain toad: treasure tracker,

mario maker

new 3ds

yoshi woolly world

zelda U

majora's mask 3d

I've just played the first three or four hours of the campaign and unless the multiplayer is absolute rubbish I have to say anyone giving this gave 6-7/10 either has rocks in their head or greatly different gaming tastes than I. 

Great stuff, am really enjoying it so far and unlike COD i find the default Wii-mote controls quite decent.



Gamespot gave it a 8.5(great) :)



So I got some time with the game today: It's brilliant fun. Really slick, quick shooter, a million miles from MW2 - it feels fast, fun and frantic, rather than twitchy and heavy. The Wiimote controls are so responsive and the devs have clearly put the hours in getting it right. There are loads of great details, including having proper voice actors (ie Craig and Dench). I haven't even been online with it yet, and I played for 3 hours straight.

Best FPS on Wii.
