I'm really excited about the old games aspect of the Wii. Especially since my SNES died last year Does anyone remember Red Baron or Star Tropics or Little Nemo?

 

[vaz02]

I need a new PC game , one that i am able to play online with.

 

[Bug]

I've been playing a lot of WoW lately.
Just got it like 2 weeks ago, great game.


Yeah I know I'm behind the times by 2 years, shut up.

i used to play WOW , was a great game but when they released new servers the queue's were massisve so i quit the game.

Expansion is out around christmas i think.

 

[randhail]

I'd like to strangle the developers at EA Sports. They have put no effort into their games lately. NCAA 07 for Xbox 360 is a friggin joke - yeah the graphics are good, but the content is like the original version back in '98.

 

[pepokiss]

I don't knowm bt the Wii is getting me more and more excited...


maybe I'll end up buying it


Imagine a wrestling game with that wii controller

 

[Sevikins]

I wonder how much that Wii is.

I've barely enough to handle with the DS and the games... does anyone here even play with the DS?

nintendo keeping prices reasonable.

 

[RavenBlue]

I wonder, is NHL 07 going to be available for the GC? So far I've only seen it advertised for the 360, Xbox, ps2 and psp.

Answered my own question

GameCube players will have to do without a little hockey action. EA Sports doesn’t have plans to release NHL 07 for the platform.

From Nintendo Dojo:

You are correct," said Electronic Arts publicist Jen Riley, responding to our inquiry. "[There will be] no Nintendo platforms for NHL 07."

This is kind of a sad revelation for the fans of the cube. The NHL franchise is a mainstay of sports gaming. In fact, my very favorite sports title was one of EA’s NHL’s (I’m not giving the year!) A friend of mine had mastered a glitch in the game that guaranteed a slap shot into the net every time, earning him the title The Cheese Master. What a blast we had trying to figure out a way around his insta-goals!

On the upside for Nintendo fans, EA is saying its support of the other systems will continue. "Many of our other games are continuing to support DS," said Riley, "and we hope to be on Wii in the future."

Bite me, EA

Guess it'll have to be 2K7, as long as sega doesn't snub us.

City of Heroes is not as in depth but if you like superheroes it's a fun game. The costume creation is fun by itself.

The change from NHL06 to 07 is very small - mostly gameplay tweaks. It feels more like a patch than a new year.

2K7 is a superior game anyway.

I cannot wait until Star Trek Legacy comes out on the 360.

My trekkie buddy and I and a few others will rent that bitch out and play it all night.

Of course I Do! So does Khanada!
I used to play Mario Kart with the Wi-Fi. That is, until the whole "snaking" technique basically broke the game.
Anyway. Here ya go peeps. I'll be posting a little bit of news here and there, as well as any sales numbers i can find! Introducing...

[RavenBlue]

It's nice to see them making new Star Trek games

What was the one, it was Deep Space Nine I think and a FPS. Anyone remember?

 

[pepokiss]

600 for a PS3 is a joke


200 for Nintendo... it's GOLD Jerry, GOLD

 

[RavenBlue]

I Nintendo

 

[Canadiens1131]

Now only if Nintendo made Gran Turismo

 

[catlhere]

Now only if Nintendo made Gran Turismo

Yeah there are definitely some good exclusives coming to 360 and PS3, but fear not because I'm sure Wii will have plenty of racing games to wet your appetite. Excite Truck and Need For Speed are both coming out at launch. Who knows if they will turn out good or not though?

17.) BROKEN SWORD: THE ANGEL OF DEATH (PC)

I'm a massive fan of Broken Sword and I can't believe that I didn't even realise BS4 had been released! It doesn't seem that long ago that Revolution first announced they were making a fourth game...

 

[UberBeaver]

I have been selling all my video game systems and games on eBay. I just don't play them any more, and when I did they took up so much time. I've sold the GBA and DS. The GameCube is on eBay now. I'll be putting the PS2 and XBOX up soon. But I'm keeping the NES and the N64 - Goldeneye and Rouge Squadron, awesome.
