^ Then quite simply, it is a must buy. Metroid Prime deserves the appraisal as a modern classic. It's incredibly atmospheric with haunting music and rock solid gameplay. I'm excited to replay it over again and explore the Chozo Ruins or the Phendrana Drifts once more. Prime 2 is probably just as good IMO but because I played Prime first, I will always think it's the best one.

I've beaten Prime but only played the multiplayer on Echos and I never had Corruption so this is indeed a must buy 3 great games and a lot of extras.

Well, they know what sells.

Lately I haven't used my Wii for much aside from Guitar Hero and the occasional WiiFit. I need to find a new game, and the inclination to sit on my couch for long periods.

Asmo. I swear to god that was the fastest reply I have ever seen in my 4+ years at this forum.

Asmodai · « **Reply #265 on:** August 22, 2009, 07:15:04 AM »

It was almost two minutes, that's not too bad.

We can probably beat that.

Anyone else here like me who doesn't actually have a Wii, but plays it a lot at other ppl's places?

I used to play Mario Party and WiiSports A LOT with some friends who lived up the street from me. They moved away, so now I battle almond in Wii Tennis and Tetris.

It's almost 3 years and Nintendo has yet to cut the price of the wii. It's starting to look ridiculous hardware wise when you put it along side the recently price cut 360 and PS3. The recent price cuts from the competition might be putting a bit of pressure for Nintendo to cut the price as well. Though I suspect that they will try to hold out and wait till the new year before even considering to move the price.

Doesn't matter too much for me personally as I have had mine for awhile but I have a friend whose system recently died, so he is in a bad position right now. I say keep going to your friend's house to satisfy your curiosity

.

Don't know why his system died. Though I think the quality control has been going down a bit. I had send my Wii into warranty repair after noticing that the disc drive was bringing up more errors in a few months than my gamecube (a launch model; when they still made them in Japan

) ever had in it's entire life. Unsurprisingly the disk drive was replaced by a slightly louder one and I have not had a problem since. I'll give credit to Nintendo for the quick turnaround (around a week).

I think it's also that the Wii is a mature system. Even with a price drop, I think by now everyone that wants a Wii probably has one. As a result, there really isn't the same incentive to cut the price as with the PS3/360 where they'll still fighting for market share.

From what I've seen Nintendo doing lately, my guess is they plan to cater to existing owners mostly (i.e. with the improved motion control) and position themselves for the next generation.

^ I agree, whoever wants a Wii, already has one for sure. And with where Wii is going lately, it's for people who already have one and want to improve their gaming experience.

PS3 has to drop their price because it was so high, but they're not enhancing gameplay either, they just keep making new systems. Whereas the Wii isn't focused on making new systems, but just making add ons to their one system so people wont have to go and buy new ones and they wont have to drop the price on the original Wii.

Seems like a good idea to me.

Wii price cut - by $50 to $199 (US). A bit overdue probably.

It also contradicts what I said a little before. Oh well.

Ladies! Grab your Wii Fits!!

Wii Fit Made Manchester Woman a Sex Addict

[/url]

Gamers view the Nintendo Wii as the family console. The video game manufacturer’s current consoles tend to be more popular with women and older gamers. If one can believe the claims of Amanda Flowers, marketers may be able to find a new niche market for the Wii. The new market is certainly one that Nintendo never though of exploiting.

If husbands think that going out and buying a Wii and the Wii Fit game will instantly turn their wife or girlfriend into a sex addict, they may want to reconsider the option. Flowers suffered a never injury when she fell of the Wii Fit board. Since Flowers experienced this injury, she experiences arousal from even the slightest of vibrations. She claims the cell phones, blenders and even the slightest vibrations can make her horny. The nerve injury resulted in a condition called ‘persistent arousal syndrome’ and is not linked to Wii Fit specifically.

The Daily Star reports that the 24-year-old Woman needs to have sex at least ten times a day to satisfy her passion. Men looking for a way to recreate the injury may be disappointed, although Amanda Flowers might be looking for a man who can satisfy her needs. Potential candidates would have to move to , Manchester.

Ok so I thought over Wii games that I'd like to play now considering I have more time to play them. I've narrowed my options down to Metroid Prime Trilogy, No More Heroes 2 and Super Mario Galaxy 2. I'm thinking of getting Metroid Prime because I love the first two so much, so atmospheric and I'd love to play through them again. And considering I never played Prime 3, there will be a new experience for me anyway. Besides 3 quality games for the price of 1? Can't beat that.

If anyone has suggestions feel free to tell me.

zoolander · « **Reply #277 on:** May 29, 2010, 08:11:58 AM »

Well, Super Mario Galaxy 2 is glorious. Definitely the best game I've played so far this year IMO. Although New Super Mario was my favorite game last year (yes I'm a Mario whore and they are the only games I have on wii besides sports/play/Tiger Woods

). I've never been much into Metroid and haven't played any of the No More Heroes games so I can't really help beyond that.

adventwriter · « **Reply #278 on:** June 04, 2010, 09:16:32 PM »

My sister got a Wii for graduating High school (Wish I had got something like that back then)

On a good note - I played Wii Sports Resort - It was quite fun (Definitely want to play Super Mario Galaxy 2...among other things.)

Ayako-Luna · « **Reply #279 on:** June 04, 2010, 09:38:08 PM »

Wii Sports Resort is full of fun!!!
If you play it with you family or friends together, then you'll have more fun!!!
