Monster Hunter Tri awarded perfect score on Famitsu.

That’s 3 Wii games so far that have scored 40/40 on Famitsu. SSBB, 428, and Monster Hunter Tri.

platinum_pinoy · August 6, 2009, 6:50pm

What the hell is 428?

box · August 6, 2009, 6:56pm

Chances of american release… 0.1% I’m guessing.

Wellman · August 6, 2009, 8:13pm

Probably less then that actually. It is a visual novel game after all.

Tizoc · August 6, 2009, 10:01pm

I now have 25 Stars to collect in Super Mario Galaxy, after that it’s back to Paper and/or Zack and Wiki.
I also have Mario Strikers Charged, and I find it to be a fun multiplayer game.

Mario Kart Wii is fun too and I’m surprised I don’t get any lag when playing it online O_o
Though unlocking everything seems really time consuming IMO
My one gripe is how when you’re 1st, you don’t get much useful power-ups, though I guess this is the same as in previous Mario Kart games?

box · August 6, 2009, 10:08pm

Yup. It’s called loser boost. Part of the strategy in multiplayer races is staying out of 1st place until the last lap so you can get a better power-up.

Playing thru Final Fantasy IV: the After years right now. I love it. Very nostalgic yet it’s something new. I’m probably gonna get Little King’s Story and Wii Sports resort. Probably trade in Madworld and Zack & Wiki.

MVC2FAN15 · August 7, 2009, 12:06am

SMG2, TVC, Metroid other M are making me come back to play my Wii.

Knot8 · August 7, 2009, 2:00am

The wii has a suprising amount of games I want to try out. Good thing there going to be released far apart.

Sonichuman · August 7, 2009, 2:46am

There’s a good chunk of games that I want to play and try out that I’d pick up if I had a bit more money to throw around. I really wanna try out Boom Blox, Little King’s Story and Zack and Wiki.

If you pick up Little King’s story can you give some impressions when you have time?

Sonichuman · August 7, 2009, 6:45am

I just realized that Cursed Mountain and Metroid Prime Trilogy will be out in the same week. Sucks for Cursed Mountain.

Spyborgs - Combo Gameplay

Edit:

I try not to rely on things either way because with my luck it doesn’t happen in anyway the way I tried to plan it so I just try to do the best race I can and deal with the BS.

Me: Swwweeeet alright 1st place! I’m just go- blue shell oh that’s not so b-red shell…ran over by star and tossed off the side or lightning bolt or some type of combination thereof

platinum_pinoy · August 7, 2009, 6:48am

I generally suck at MKWii, but playing for 2nd place helps from getting cheesed by the blue shell.

kaz · August 7, 2009, 4:48pm

I should have asked a long time ago, but was anyone in here at any point in time playing COD W@W for Wii?

platinum_pinoy · August 7, 2009, 5:25pm

I played it. Plays well, but too bad it looks like ass compared to the HD consoles.

kaz · August 7, 2009, 7:00pm

Do you have the game? I still play it now, not for graphics but because the controls are Godtier compared to the other consoles. Constantly looking for people to team up with.

Sonichuman · August 7, 2009, 9:02pm

after seeing these screens I’m even more interested in this game.

Japan Numbers:

You already know what they look like…bit surprised that Gears 2 is up there though.

System_1 · August 7, 2009, 10:54pm

Damn it Nintendo, Americans want to spend money on a(nother) wii system too! Anyway, has a new date been set for Red Steel 2?

Sonichuman · August 7, 2009, 11:13pm

no true set date at the moment…last said they said early 2010. I try to keep the front page updated with the games to keep track of as well as the dates beside the games and only switch it to an exact date when we actually get to that month.

Finally a decent update. NyxQuest was formerly caled Icarian, this is the platformer where you play as a winged person. Looked decent. I’ve heard of R&R Climber but haven’t heard if its good… SSW was classic when I was a kid, don’t know how it holds up…
