Wii-kly Update! (6-23)

Lordy, it's been a whole month since I've last updated this thing! Well, I've been busy so far this summer and it looks like I'll still be busy in the coming weeks. Sorry 'bout all that, but sometimes that's the way things go. *sniffle*

Around the Network

It'd be great if you could add The Conduit to the list please. This game has the most entertaining online play I've experienced since playing the PC SKU of Halo when it first came out. Graphically it looks great, and at times you could be forgiven for mistaking it for a 360 game at first glance. The reviews (with the exception of IGN's one) haven't done this game justice, this is going to be sitting in my Wii for several months I think. ;oD



(Update of Week 7/18)

Goodness! It's been a while hasn't it? Well I'm back and ready for action, and the Wii Rec Guide has seen some big changes. Let's get Started shall we?

Cosmetic Changes

  • All duplicates have been moved to only one Genre. For example, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption was previously on both Action/Action Adventure and Shooting/Flight. Now it is only on Action/Action Adventure. This has been done to reduce clutter.
  • Sports franchises now have every title in the franchise included, web page and all. Just because it isn't the most current version doesn't mean it's no fun to play!
  • Release years have been taken off to reduce clutter and give everything a more clean feeling. Older games (Super Mario Galaxy people!) are still a blast to play.
  • WiiWare is now organized just like the retail games. Each game will be catagorized by both Genre and Name.
  • Most games currently in the guide now have a quote with them! You all were lazy bums so I had to go and scour the game pages for juicy quotes. If you still want to leave a quote for a beloved game, give me a holler. I'd love to replace a boring ol' wall quote with a great quote from the heart.

Great updates Smeags, you're really on the ball with this stuff, especially considering how busy you've been. I can't think of too many people who could keep as diligent as you with this kind of work.

Keep it up!

Cosmetic Changes:
