Forget all of you, I'm still holding out for Clay Fighter! (Tournament Edition of course)

I would like the Clay Fighter 2 blockbuster exclusive with Earthworm Jim as an extra character.

They don't feel like real fighting games. I repeat NOT a fighting game.

Eh, why?

If you were talking about Smash Bros. I'll go along with that, it's not a "real" fighting game anyways. But Samurai Showdown is the ****.

Actually it was in reference to your comment about Sunshine.

I have Cocoto's fishing. There was one confusing control mechanism... but I figured it out after about 20 minutes of trial and error and am totally dominating this game now.

SCORE.

Hardcore Gaming 101 seems to indicate that 2 and 4 are the best in the SS series. Confirm/deny?

Does anybody have My Pokemon Ranch? There is a update to it.

animecyberrat · « **Reply #2034 on:** June 18, 2008, 08:17:55 PM »

That's different, Samuari Showdown is very much a fighting game, Mario Sunshine is just barely a Mario game, if that.

I know the feeling. It's almost a blessing in disguise that there is absolutely nothing I'm willing to delete on my Wii, which, in addition to the fact that I only have 13 free blocks, effectively stops me from buying new things. I haven't even played Toki Tori anyway, I shouldn't be buying new things.

Kairon · « **Reply #2042 on:** June 22, 2008, 07:02:47 PM »

Just beat Protothea. SCORE! NOW I CAN DELETE IT! Hard mode? No thank you.

Now to beat FFCC: MLaaK...

Yeah, I still haven't beat LostWinds, that will free up some space.

Here you guys go the PR email.

Everybody loves a classic battle between good and evil. With the latest additions to the Wii™ Shop Channel, your greatest challenge will be choosing where to wipe out the bad guys—in deep space, on mean city streets or in a monster-ridden fantasy world. Whatever the venue, be ready for outrageous enemies and memorable missions you’ll relish from beginning to end.

Nintendo adds new and classic games to the Wii Shop Channel at 9 a.m. Pacific time every Monday. Wii™ owners with a high-speed Internet connection can redeem Wii Points™ to download the games. Wii Points can be purchased in the Wii Shop Channel or at retail outlets. This week’s new games are:

WiiWare™

Gyrostarr™ (High Voltage Software, 1-4 players, Rated E for Everyone—Mild Fantasy Violence, 700 Wii Points): Gyrostarr challenges you and up to three additional players to pilot your ships through a series of twisting, turning technoplasma tracks while battling a variety of deadly alien foes at ever-increasing speeds. While fighting and maneuvering, you must collect enough energy to activate the ancient warpgate at the end of each track. Succeed, and you can journey to the next, even deadlier track. Fail, and the gate will slam shut, destroying your ship. Enhance your ship with weapon pickups, coordinate attacks with your friends to fire powerful combined blasts and use your grapple to snag energy and pickups in the midst of combat. Control your ship with the Wii Remote™ controller, Nunchuk™ controller or Classic Controller™, or use the “paired” control system that allows two players to use a connected Wii Remote and Nunchuk or Classic Controller at the same time. Offering 50 levels of intense action, powerful pickups, high-speed bonus levels and mayhem for up to four players, Gyrostarr is a killer arcade challenge.

Virtual Console™

Alex Kidd in Miracle World (Sega Master System, 1 player, Rated E for Everyone—Comic Mischief, 500 Wii Points): In this platformer from the 1980s, you’re Alex Kidd, looking for your lost brother Egle. In order to find your brother, you’ll have to contend with the evil Janken the Great, who will send his henchmen and monsters at you to thwart your progress. One aspect of this adventure is that you’ll have to play the classic game of “rock, paper, scissors” against the henchmen in order to defeat them. With 16 different levels to conquer in order to save Egle, this classic is sure to test your skills and your wits at the same time.

BURNING FIGHT (NEOGEO, 1-2 players, Rated E10+ for Everyone 10 and Older—Mild Suggestive Themes, Violence, 900 Wii Points): Released in 1991 by SNK, BURNING FIGHT is a side-scrolling hand-to-hand-combat action game. In pursuit of Casterora, leader of a huge syndicate that has escaped from New York to Osaka, the protagonists are three detectives: Duke, Ryu and Billy. Each character fights using a combination of punches, kicks and jumps, plus his own particular special move, activated by simultaneously pressing the jump and attack buttons. These lethal techniques have enormous destructive force, but they also consume a great deal of energy. For this reason, players must use their special moves with skillful timing. Luckily for the detectives, new weapons and additional health can be found by breaking things like phone booths and street signs along the way. A boss, who must be defeated in order to continue the mission, awaits players at the end of each stage. You can also take on the gang with a friend, but beware—attacks by one player can damage the other, so keep an eye on where your partner is in the heat of the battle. End Casterora’s reign of terror once and for all.

Well I bought gyrostarr, the wii shop spec is 700 points and 290 blocks.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #2047 on:** June 23, 2008, 02:08:13 PM »

I got Gyrostarr as well and Alex Kid in Miracle World as my first SMS game.

Kairon · « **Reply #2048 on:** June 23, 2008, 03:01:04 PM »

Wow, Gyrostarr is cheap!

Some impressions of Gyrostar. Overall very good game but some little things are annoying.

The controls. Works great, however if you want to use wiimote and nunchuck or classic controller it doesn't automatically detect the control and adjust on screen button layout. So that is confusing.

The game does use tilt of wiimote or nunchuck if you choose. That is a bit over sensitive for my likes but you can get used to it. Ironically I think using mario kart wheel might help for wiimote, but I think nunchuck tilt is a bit smoother.

You can play 4 players but are required to play with wiimotes of some kind so no cube controllers which makes no sense since you don't need tilt controls.

The game starts smooth and gets faster as you go. You got to collect energy balls to make sure you can travel in the portal at the end of the level. If you don't collect the energy balls you will die at the end. Enemies scattered around and if they destroy you it stops your collecting of energy balls. The levels are about a few minutes each and can become really fast and hectic near the end.

You can't float off the left/right of halfpipe which is great and feels more like F-zero shooter than an actual shoot em up.

Graphics: Very nice and clean art style and music fits the game well.

Overall a very good game. 8/10
