must get tiger woods 08
goes tomorow to get it :P

I loved Galaxy, it's a fun game thats gets slightly more difficult as the game progresses, and collecting those purple stars is a right royal pain.

Hehe. Especially Luigi's Purple Coins!

For multiplayer you cant go past Brawl, MarioKart and Warioware.

Don't forget to add Boom Blox, Wii Sports and Ghost Squad.

I also recommend hunting down Excite Truck, that is one of my top 3 racing games, I'm forever going back and playing it again.

Excite Truck is awesome. You spend more time in the air than on the ground. Especially when you throw in an SD card filled with your favorite tunes to race with.

Speaking of lesser known games. Try out:
- No More Heroes
- Battalion Wars 2
- Fire Emblem
- Metroid Prime: Corruption
- Zack & Wiki
- De Blob

And since this is a Transformer site can I recomend a couple of Gamecube games since they can be played on the Wii:

- Gotcha Force: full of robots and includes Transforming ones and Combiners. My favorite Gamecube game!

Transforming mechs at 1:55. Man I love this game so much!
Video 2: http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=Tlm-vJ...eature=related
Triple Changer at the start!

- DreamMix TV World Fighters: a Smash Bros clone featuring characters from Konami (Simon Belmont, Solid Snake), Hudson (Bomberman) and Takara (Optimus Prime, Megatron, Microman).

Keep an eye out for Devastator in one of the backgrounds.

I don't think DreamMix TV World Fighters was released outside of Japan was it? Don't forget there are various intricacies involved in playing imported GCN titles on Wii!

What do I need to purchase if I want to take my Wii online?

You do it through the WiiShop channel.
Wii Shop
-> Add Wii Points (Big button in the middle of the screen)
-> Add Wii Points with a Credit Card
-> Select the Amount of Wii Points you want to buy: 1000 ($15), 3000 ($45) or 5000 ($75)
-> Input Credit Card Details and follow the links

Be careful when hitting the "accept" and "yes" buttons, they switch around sometimes yo make sure your paying attention...

If you can, buy Wii points directly online, EB and JB sell the cards for $35 for 2000 points, whereas you can get 3000 for $45 online

That is what I usually do, just Big W has 2 cards for $50, so it works out to be 4000 for $50, so you save $20 for Wii Point Cards, or $10 from getting them from the Shop Channel

Doesn't the Wii freeloader also work with GCN games?

Goodluck finding those games at Dick Smiths, I went into my local yesterday and they ahd about 3 of the "on sale" games.

Links Crossbow Training is some good fun for $40 or so, even more fun with multiplayer.

To be honest i haven't tried, i still have my gamecube setup and use and it's freeloader to play imports. I remember hearing the Wii freeloader eventually got locked out by system updates, but i'm not sure if they released an update to combat that... or i could be completely wrong

Hah yeah, I dropped by three Dick Smiths today (the three in the Melbourne CBD), there's really not much left in the "game section".

I remember that. I can't remember entirely but I think it was around update 3.2. I'm not sure if that one blocked it or it was the last usable one

It wasn't released outside of Japan. I wouldn't bother trying to play import discs on the Wii. Let alone GC ones. Unless you go down "THAT" route to play them.

Better off getting a GC and the GC Freeloader to play GC imports on a PAL console. And yes 3.2E Update negated the Wii Freeloader.

I just had to post up DreamMix TV since it's got actual TF in it! It was also released for the PS2.
