How have you been enjoying that WarioWare Smooth Moves? It's probably one of my top 5 for the console.

I loved it at my friends house, waiting the delivery to play again.

It's also my favorite utilization of the Wiimote's motion controls, with a surprise cameo by the nunchuck after the main story is finished

The whole presentation is weird/crude humor based, but the gameplay style is genius.

BIT.TRIP Complete, Zack & Wiki (if you like point/click puzzle games. Geometry Wars Galaxies, Little King's Story (look into it first to see if it's your type of game), Sin & Punishment: Star Successor, Boom Blox.


Thanks for the odd ball throws...

Could you please point to some strong points of each of them to entice a buy?

BIT.TRIP Complete - On-disc collection of the 6 BIT.TRIP Wii Ware games (Beat, Core, Void, Runner, Fate, Flux). Each game is a modern music/rhythm take on an old classic. For example, Beat is a take on Pong, where you have "bits" coming at you in patterns, and on the left side of the screen, you have a Pong paddle that you have to use to hit them back. Each bit you hit adds a note to the music (and then another note when it leaves the screen). Nothing else like, them, really. The "Complete" version comes with a soundtrack CD and adds checkpoints and some other things (leaderboards, maybe?).

 

Leaderboards are defunct now since Wifi has been cut off.

Just played the 4 player mode... Had a load of laughs.

Metroid Other M


Have tought about it, but not too sure yet... Is it a good Metroid, or just a good game in general?


A vocal minority hates it, but my advise is to look some vids and then decide. You can always buy cheap and sell later in case you don't like it. I saw a complete 100% walkthrough before buying and it's now one of my favorites games.


What about metroid corruption?

Buy it.

If you haven't played the Metroid Primes on Gamecube and you can find Prime Trilogy then that would be the best option... but it was limited release so it could be difficult to find cheap. (On Amazon & Ebay UK at the moment it is going for about 50% more than what I paid for it new) The standard Prime Corruption is still awesome though (it was my first Metroid game so you don't have to be a fan)



No More Heroes 1 and 2 like a lot of people here are saying. I absolutely adored those games.

Uhnnnnnnnnn... Game UK have it for 13 pounds but it isn't it region locked? I wanted the trilogy, if not corruption and other m will have to do.

Only one mention of Sin & Punishment? For real?! Look up youtube gameplay videos, the game is awesome. Arc Rise Fantasia is a good JRPG, and on a lesser note I enjoyed both Boy and His Blob (2D puzzle platformer) and Batman Brave and the Bold (kinda like Batman & Robin on the Genesis). About the only game I'd downvote here is Fragile Dreams; despite the familiar voice actors and interesting setting, it always manages to put me to sleep, like every time I seriously attempt at progress.

Wii games look awful when played on wii u. At least.on my tv anyway virtually unplayable

Or maybe just wii games look.awful not necessarily when on wii u

i play wii games on wii u through the hdmi cable on my 26 inch tv and all the games look noticeably better, smg 1 & 2 look amazing and even blurry looking games like skyward sword now look quite clean.

A game I thought was amazing that no one brought up yet was Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins Of The Moon. Would love a sequel to this.


I'd like to echo this. There was a lot to love about this title, especially on the story-teliling side. I believe The Last Story and Pandora's Tower were also recommended already. 

I'd add Sonic and the Secret Rings. Unlike its sequel, Sonic and the Black Knight, it actually played really well, and I had a good time with it. I also really liked Nights: Journey of Dreams, just make sure you play that with Wii+Nunchuk. The motion controls were not well implemented...



Hmm
