Nintendo Wii MEGATHREAD!

That looks awesome Piratescratch. I already have good guns that shoot from the trigger like these pictured ones do and House of the Dead 3+4 for Wii and I have to say it has some of the clearest graphics to shine on the 52 inch LCD we have. It really looks (almost) as good as some of the PS3 games we have.
This will be a must buy I think.

I was wondering if that 3+4 pack was worth it. I loved house of the Dead 2 on my dreamcast. So many hours happily wasted blowing the arms offa zombies.

Piratescratch. is that Pverkill a new HOTD game or a redone version of the old one? Very Intrigued...

Isn't it House of the Dead 2 and 3 double pack, not 3 and 4?

Overkill is a completely new game for the Wii, if my memory serves me right I believe it's set before the events of the first House of the Dead.

Whoops, yeh I meant 2+3..... Oooh a new on hey? MIght have to investigate.

Apparently the instruments are not as receptive as the one that come with Guitar Hero: world tour. Did they work well?

[GoktimusPrime]

They seemed fine to me.

Uh my fault TC. I mentioned it as 3+4 first.

There is a HOTD 4 Arcade game out already that uses a pair of sweet Uzis. Wish they made Uzis for the Wii.

Hooooo Baby! That would be cool. I wanted to play the arcade version of HOTD3 coz it had pump action shotguns!!!!! But I never found one.....

Get Rayman Raving Rabbids TV PARTY 1orion. It's currently $39 at GAME and it has much more better and fun uses for the board than tell you that you are fat . It's a compilation of minigames, one of which allows you to use the board as pedals for acceleration, dancing and even sitting on it and using your butt to steer. Sheer madness.

Could not agree more, its worth getting at $60 too, it only took a day for me and my mates to "finish" the game (unlocking every mini-game) but we are still going trying to get the records for the funner games. The large number of dancing games and band games get boring and repetitive, but the rest of the games (especially the toboggan, motorbike, and shooting games) are fantastic, a real step up from the 2nd Rabbid game.

It's also hilarious to watch others play, and its pretty quick (though not Wario quick) unlike Mario Party.

If you want to get the Shaun White Snowboarding game for the Wii, do not expect to be playing it on the Wii-fit board for long, it really really kills your knees playing on the board, and it is far more fun and intuitive using just the Wii-mote. It's a nice looking and easy to pick up and play game, but does not come close to taking the top snowboarding game spot from SSX tricky.

Anyone have any thoughts regarding the Nerf N-Strike Wii game?

The game looks a bit simple but I like the idea of having a nerf gun to muck around with and double up for some House Of The Dead action.

On that note, I also realised that the House Of The Dead Overkill has a bundle with 2 Wii gun holders. Does anyone think these will be any good?

I already have a Nyko Perfect Shot but I hate the fact that you need to remove the Wii strap everytime you want to use it.

From a review I read, they said that the guns that come with the Bang Bang box version of Overkill aren't ideal. I'll update when I get mine this week for a proper impression. I too have a Nyko Perfect Shot and find it almost perfect. The main draw was the graphic novel included in that Overkill box. Haven't tried that Nerf game, not too interested actually and the videos for it doesn't fill me with much confidence. The attachment for it looks a treat though.

Also Deadly Creatures on Wii is amazing. Not for the squeamish or fearful of 8 legged creepy crawlies, but if you can stomach them, be prepared for a very unique adventure.

I've finally Homebrewed my Wii and have Tatsunoko vs Capcom on the way. Hopefully comes in tomorrow. Also ordered No More Heroes (for bloody goodness) and Tales of Symphonia 2 from Canada since our dollar is doing relatively well against it.
