Boner Kawanger 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2008 Power Pros 2008 confirmed. If you haven't played the original, you're missing out, as its one of the best baseball games I've ever played.

dubq 0 Report post Posted May 11, 2008 I have to say I really enjoyed the last three weeks of VC releases and that they were themed around Aksys beat-em-ups: River City Ransom, Double Dragon & Renegage. I'd love to see a wrestling themed set of weeks where we get NES Pro Wrestling, NES Tecmo World Wrestling and maybe even a SNES Fire Pro like Special or X Premium. That would kick ass.

Spaceman Spiff 0 Report post Posted May 12, 2008 I'm kinda intrigued by this Final Fantasy WiiWare game. If I didn't have Mario Kart and Lego Star Wars: Complete Trilogy (bought right before Kart came out, so I haven't go too far into the game) to play, I'd consider purchasing it. It does look a little pricey, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mik 0 Report post Posted May 12, 2008 I bought it but haven't played it yet. Instead I just spent about an hour just mindlessly playing Defend the Castle. The game is FUN and I love the bomb sound. Whoosh! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mik 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2008 I put an hour into My Life As A King. It's a pretty fun game, but the beginning is tedious as it sometimes is. You get everything explained to you in excruciating detail. The pay as you play, if you were wondering, are some dungeons to explore that allow you to train different warriors when they are beaten and some wardrobe changes.

CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2008 All right, so I finally got a Wii. Are there any accessories that are considered "essential" (besides a second Wiimote) that I should run out and buy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Smues Report post Posted May 13, 2008 Some kind of rechargable batteries and charger. There are cool ones that come with batteries for 2 wiimotes and a charging stand that holds both at once. Also you'll probably want extra nunchuks and some classic controllers. Oh and a good sized SD card. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dubq 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2008 If you plan on getting any gun shooters like House of the Dead, do yourself a favour and pick up a pair of Nyko Perfect Shots. Probably the best add-on to a Wiimote that I've ever used. Plus they're only like $14 each. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2008 I got TWO Wii Perfect Shots. EBStop may have them behind the counter at your place, for some unfathomable reason. I think they're expected to try to boost the Wii Zapper over it (although that doesn't explain the Blaster always being around). I'll probably try to see if I can find a used Link's Crossbow Training somewhere, because, you know... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BUTT 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2008 Even so, Mario 64 is only 8 MB. I know that for sure. Wave Race is somewhere between 8 and 16. Paper Mario is bigger, probably somewhere around 48. Sin and Punishment, I don't know. I'd guess 32. But still. BUT STILL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
