Elebits is really neat! You capture these weird little creatures by blasting them with the Wii remote, but because they hide, you need to interact with the environment by tipping boxes, opening drawers, smashing things, throwing things... And there are also puzzles to solve by manipulating the items in the environment. For example there is a ring toss where you need to lift and pull the rings then land them on the coloured pegs. There is also a multiplayer mode where you try to blast more little elebits than your friend. Good fun!!
Nintendo has reported the highest selling holiday season in US video game HISTORY. Over a million Wii consoles were sold in the 44 days between the launch and Christmas. And December saw 1.6 million DS Lites sold... Absolutely insane!
PLUS Nintendo won an Emmy for the plus-shaped D-pad (first appearing on the old NES controllers). I didn't even know that was possible, but neat!!
Elebits is pretty cool, I can't wait for Metroid Prime: Corruption. Sure its not exactly a unique gameplay idea (First Person Shooter :smile:) but Metroid games have great stories. Plus a FPS using the Wii pointer will be cool.
No worries! Mario Kart is an awesome game to play as a group. And by the sounds of it most if us are pretty out of practice since we've been doing that "school" thing. :wink:
And I'm pretty sure that Starfox can be beamed so even though I don't have that you could still get me in on a game!
what's dope is i got mario kart 64 on my psp though
You're pretty much wrong in every way. UMD failed hard, developers deemed the PSP a failure last year, most would-be popular games are just shite-version ports without a controller update. Games like GTA and Katamari are just frustrating without two analog sticks. Yeah, the screen is nice, but thats about all its got going for it. Just go look at the sales reports, the DS alone is selling way more than the PSP and PS3 combined.
Zelda (beat it :smile:, awesome game), Trauma Center: Second Opinion (sweet game, but the story's basically the same as the DS version). Plus a few VC games: Sonic 1, Bomberman '93, Mario 64, and Super Mario Bros. Then there are the GameCube games I still have: Resident Evil 4, and Metroid Prime (the first one).
I'm just passed halfway in Zelda. I really take my time, though, because it's so enjoyable! It's an awesome game... i'm very impressed with it and it's so fun to use the Wii-remote to aim the bow, etc.
Trauma Center can get really hard at parts! And I liked doing "real" surgeryish stuff instead of killing those weird viruses they've created. It gets kind of frustrating for me as I have a very low tolerance for frustration! But parts of it ARE fun. Too bad the story isn't a little better...
And I haven't played any Final Fantasy games... am I really missing out?
yeah not really any puzzles, just find out where to go, go, kill things along the way, plot twists here and there, and bam the game is over 30-80 hours later
I still play Final Fantasy games every once and a while, but they are long. They're more like interactive movies, its more about the story than playing the game. The stories are very good, but there aren't too many difficult puzzles. There's quite a bit of strategy involved in the battles, and the odd minigame, but they aren't exactly action-packed games.
Hmmm I might have to check them out if they release them on the Virtual Console. My brother is really big into RPGs, but he uses Playstation so I can't borrow anything!
Did anyone get Wario Ware: Smooth Moves for the Wii yet?!!? I want it... but I have no freaking money! That Wii has already eaten up enough of my $$ lately (though worth every penny...)
I have a DS Lite (w/ flash cartridge) so I have a lot of games :) I also have the Wii w/ zelda, sports, and elebits. I think im only 6 hrs into zelda and 2 hrs into elebits. Keep in mind I bought the system during the week it came out. Not much time to play it right now I guess lol. I'm looking forward to getting Wii Play when it comes out later in the month.

What games do you have?
our psp campaigns not working too well, its just a private exclusion with me, raize and magnificentB aha.
I'd like to check out that WTF game for the PSP. My brother has it but I didn't get a chance to give it a try.
but i only got mario kart and children of mana and starfox.. lol
And I'm pretty sure that Starfox can be beamed so even though I don't have that you could still get me in on a game!
Maybe I'll start up a DS/PSP/etc. meetup thread. It'll be a good way to unwind!

but if u like good stories and such then yeah they are good.
Are they at least good puzzle solving games? Or is it just wander around until you've heard the whole story?
Looks like we have a few interested people so far! You should come out too. :smile:
