Soon to be the proud owner of a PSP

Tee hee! 17 already by 2 months and 12 days. Respect your elders, and they shall buy you alcohol. Thats how I get mine!

yes yes well done *claps*

Yeah, but I don't like alcohol that much. I've had a four pack sittin in the fridge for at least 3 months now. Wonder if their off?

nah

i havent touched the stuff for 3 days so far.. as three days ago, had a massive stomach spasm and it still hurts!

I can go about 5 days without alcohol, i really get an urge to drink it, im can't explain it, but when i see a cold fosters in the fridge, my face lights up.

I cracked some vodka open the other day, had it with coke, but my mum went skits at me for opening it, but oh well.

yeah i have strong urges to drink

i infact have a headache now for the LACK of alcohol

Lol, i don't get headaches, that's not physcologically normal.

But I'd pay a fiver for 1 can if i had too.

You have an URGE to drink? Border line alcoholism over here peoples. Get that shizzle sorted out.

LOL!

Yeah I know I figured that out a while back. The little scallywags!

*bumpsky*
Just found out that I'm also getting a Wii for Christmas as well as the psp. Any good suggestion for games? It comes with Wii sports. I already have SSM Brawl on the list, as well as the new mario game. Any others notable?
Also, does the Wii need a memory card/stick? What other features does it have?

Right firstly to get it out of the way - is Brawl out in Australia yet? If so, muchos jealousy.

Secondly, definitely get Mario Galaxy, I'd also recommend Zelda: Twilight Princess, Wario Ware: Smooth Moves and (if you're into that sort of thing) Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.

With regard to the Wii memory it uses SD Cards to store external memory in the same way as memory cards of old. Although you certainly wont need one when you first get one because the built in memory is enough for your game saves and extra channels and games bought from the Wii Shop Channel for a good few months - unless you go mad of course!

If you find yourself running out of space - the console informs you of your space (blocks) left after every download / purchase - then is the time to run to shops for an SD card.

There's loads I could tell you about the Wii, so I wont dump it all here, but if you've got anymore specific questions Jess, then fire away.

No, Brawl's not out yet, but I want it preordered. I wasn't too upset when they said it was going to be delayed, but that was before I knew I was getting a Wii. I've never actually played any of the Metriod games, are they any good? The guy at EB tried to talk me into one, but I was to busy scouring the store to notice much. Also, is Mario and Sonic at the Olympics any good? I heard it got bad reviews. Galaxy's a definate, I'll try and get it today, and I want Wario wares. So is Wii sports any good?
Umm, also, what Wii shop channel? Does it go on the internet?

Brawls now been offically delayed until at least 3Q08

I personally think the Metroid Prime series is excellent, but I know it can be very polarising. You either love it or hate it. Its a first person shooter cum puzzler. Perhaps read some reviews about it to see if its for you.

With regard to Mario & Sonic, I have heard some disappointing reviews, but to be honest it was never going to be ground-breaking was it - a Mario Sports game? I think as long as its fun (which I'm sure it is) then its worth getting, and I'm sure I'll get it at some point.

Wii Sports is excellent. Its a really good showcase for how you can use the Wii Remote and the sports on offer are so addictive that you'll find you and your friends and family will keep coming back to them again and again. I still play it and I've had my Wii a year now.

The Wii Shop channel does require an internet connection. It allows you to go online and purchase (or in certain cases download for free) channels and retro games (from the N64 backwards) for a fee. Money is added to your account via a card payment or you can purchase cards from game stores which have "points" on them (the wii currency), which works a bit like a top-up card for a pay as you go phone.

So i can play some of the old stuff, cool. My 64 has decided to stop working for some reason lately, damn thing. It's pushing 9 years old now, maybe thats why.
Well I'll have a look at metroid, could be fun controlling it some how. I had a peek at my Wii this morning (shh) and checked out the controllers. The Nun chuck seems very fragile. I'm afraid I'll break it. I guess I'm just used to the bulky controllers.
I'll start stocking up on games now. Next Wednesday I'm buying LoZ Phantom hourglass and Pokemon Diamond for my brother, and it's a "buy 2 get one free" sale. So now I just have to choose a Wii game. Prolly Twilight Princess if theres any left
Thanks for the info Malky ^^
Just one more question, does it matter which controller you hold in which hand? Like is the Nunchuck supposed to be in you right hand? Or does it not matter?

Edit: Just checked out the trailers of Metroid Prime 3. Reminds me of the old Duke Nukem games. Much better graphics though.
Edit Edit: Samus is a girl?!?

Lol, yeah My N64s on its last legs too, and the good thing is the Wii Shop channel adds about 3 games a week to the channel so there's always something new. There are some real classics already on there too.

I've never had issues with the Nunchuk or the Wii Remote (just remember to wear that wrist strap ) and I've been thrashing mine around for a year now so I wouldn't worry about it breaking. There's certainly been no reports of them breaking anyhoo.

Blatantly steal LoZ: Phantom Hourglass from your brother - its an excellent game. The best game I've played that makes use of the DS stylus. Plus y'know - its Zelda And trust me you'll love Twilight Princess.

With regard to holding the controller, it was designed to be held with the Wii Remote in the right hand and the Nunchuk in the left hand. That way the analog stick of the Nunchuk is still being controlled by the left hand like it would be on normal controllers. For games where you only use the Wii Remote though, you can specify (where it matters) whether you are left handed or right handed with the remote. This is handy for things like Wii Sports because it means if you play tennis left handed in real life, you can in the game too.

Samus Aran of Metroid fame is indeed female. Girl Power! She's a female bounty hunter for hire who likes to kill Space Pirates (which sadly look nothing like pirates as we know it) and save the world.

When I run out of questions. Nearly done now though I think

@ Malky - It's my DS, so I'll have no problem doing that. It looks brilliant, I'm glad it's windwaker style. So much cuter ^^
And I had no idea Metroid was a chick. Looks nothing like one, i just presumed. Now I am more inclined to buy them
Umm, I had a few more questions, but I can't remember them right now. I'm sure I will have plenty when I get when I get it and the psp too. Thanks for the help!

Indeed.

How dare people post gaming questions on a gaming forum?!
