Wii recommendations

Virtually no one can afford even the basic PS3 here. $500 for a game console with no titles suited for a poverty-stricken Spanish-speaking island? Good luck...that's why there are so many available here. Only in the metro area did the PS3s sell well, the Gamestop in Plaza las Americas, the largest mall in the Carribean, was the only store on the island to sell out (mainly due to the high number of American tourists). Even the Xbox 360 struggled at first here but started picking up once more and more titles were available for it, right now it's doing rather well.

Thats pretty much exactly what I figured.

Anyone rock monkey ball or rayman?  I'm not really a fan of either series, but am kind of interested in picking up a new game.  I'm thinking to just wait until smash brothers and mario galaxy come out.  No?

Just got Rayman...  I picked it up on a recommendation of a game for my wife to play.  (She really likes Wii Sports, and tends to dislike games with more then 2 buttons to press and requires super-split second decisions.)  We gone through the first 2 complete "stages" (each stage has multiple mini-games.)  So far most of the mini-games are fun, and the Rabids can be hilarious.  Each mini-game has detailed instructions, although there are still some hit-or-miss segments where you need a couple of runs before you get some of the nuances.  Some of them are challenging, never the less.

Haven't gotten Monkey Ball yet...  I need to complete some of the other games first.

cool, thanks for the heads up man.  Sounds like a fun game from what I've seen/heard so far.  I'm thinking about just hanging out, maybe continue to add to my older games collection - might find some steals with everyone focused on the new systems.  Zelda and Wii sports seem to be the best games for me right now.

Has anyone played that Elebits game or whatever it's called? It looks pretty interesting.

I'm really curious about this one too. If anyone gets it, please share your opinions.

Metal Slug Antholigy,if it has blood,we plan to pick it up. BTW they are also releasing Metal Slug 1 for GBA. If it has blood,it will be worth picking up Im sure.

Even if the blood is now "sweat", it will still be worth picking up .

No it wont. People dont bleed sweat when shot. Thats the stupidest SNK blunder thing Ive heard since hearing of the decision to axe blood and gore in Samurai Spirits: Tenkaichi Kenkakuden. Its crap like that being said that let Agetec think it was going to get away with taking out blood in the Metal Slug X,Last Blade 2,Garou, and KoF 99 ports it published.
Th egames need to be left intact,as they were in the arcade,on the NeoGeo,and as for 6,on the Atomaswave.

If anyone remembers on the real NeoGeo hardware, the blood was actually selectable in the setup. Maybe they do the same thing with the Wii release, and keep everyone happy. The purists, and the moral/religeous kooks. We'll all find out soon enough though.

I'm personally looking forward to Elebits. Looks like it could be pretty fun, and may be easy to get my family members playing.

It's still worth picking up, even if it's missing a few ruddy pixels

Maybe for your kids. Actually,my 10 year old son wont play them without blood,even he knows the difference between real and fake SNK ports and refuses to play the censored fake joke ports.

[Emerald Rocker]

If SNK Playmore does it, then it's not fake.

[cavein2000]

Oh there will be blood (for whoever cares) 

Check this super long demo!!  Six different controller configurations!!!! Check the tilt control method - What???!!!

Metal Slug Anthology for Wii

Scroll down to the vid with Wii controller in hand!!

Fake as in it doesnt feel right when blood is missing,or the game has been altered to a degree to make it at least 96 percent less then it was on the original  and in this case "weaker" system. For that matter,the last Agetec ports did infact feel rather "fake" and SNK did the programming.Frames of animation were missing in chunks,and blood. If its not as good in quality and content as the original,then it is infact a fake. Its not the original game,and it doesnt live up to it product wise regardless of who programmed the port.
 
If they cant because of ram limitations,as was the case with the PS1,or choose not to live up to the originals in quality and perfection,like they did with the US Dreamcast and PS2 KOF titles,then why bother?

 Its a sham. A slap in the face to the real fans and buyers of these ports. Its like saying"even though we fully well can include everything and make it perfect,or even better then the original,we wont". Metal Slug and about any other SNK title esp,are not exactly made for the kidies or marketed towards them,older teens and adults,the SNK hardcore are the main buyers here for these games and so no blood nor other content should be removed. They should be left completely intact.
