From the Archive - The Weekly DiScussion: Don't Stand So Close To Me
i'm about to have it in my hands!
exciting times.
i has it
race me later on :D
Friend code pls
:]
I'm going to buy it tomorrrow
or maybe tonight, oh god. I could nip out to argos..
argos website
says no :(
I had to run to a shop
just before lunch time because they'd sold 100+ items in a few hours. I was hungover, but it was worth it. I am so happy right now.
im fucking pissed off
i bought it today and the disk doesnt work. the other game i bought works fine.
boo hiss :(
update:
apparently, i need to update my wii to play the game
sadface :(
Is it out?
Shit, I just bought Pro Evo for the Wii.
(It is ace.)
its not
i returned it and bought mario kart instead.
I quite like it. Some good mechanics.
However, I am tempted to trade it in for Mario Kart now. Maybe I'll get both... but with GTA4 coming out and Yahtzee recommending No More Heroes... :(
i found
it over complicated and messy. Maybe in a couple of years when theyve refined the system a bit. But I get no satisfaction from playing pes on the wii. you shoot perfect shots into the top corner automatically, defending is almost impossible. Non existant edit mode. Multiplayer pretty much unplayable because all you can see are the cursors moving everywhere.
sounds horrific
someone invite me round to their house to play mario kart. i has no wii :(
what the hell
did you spend all your government student monies on then.
errr
gigs, mainly...and going out and drinking and buying things for girls :(
man
all that. and you could be sat alone with a gimmicky games console like me.
bad times 4 you my friend.
i know man
i want to play galaxy and paper mario and mario kart and whatever else i've missed out on. i have an xbox 360, which i just remembered came out of my government monies. it's basically a PES player.
thats not true
you can cook some pretty mean toast on the heat it generates.
A warning:
don't position yourself with your face too close to the Wii wheel. Tricks on jumps require you to lurch it upwards, which led to a chin-wheel-pain intersect.
Other than that, it's a lot of fun.

Haven't bought this yet.....
has it got Battle Mode?
yes
yes it does
SWEET.
Has anyone got Rosalina
as a character yet?
I switched on the game yesterday and it said it was a present from Mario Galaxy. I think you get her if you have Galaxy save data on your wii.
I didn't
I ave a mario galaxy save, but it's not completed, maybe that's it?
Rosalina appears
randomly, apparently. You don't need to have completed the game.
I unlocked Rosalina
after playing for a while, she's alright but for some reason they put her in the heavyweight class... I like the lumar that accompanies her!
Yep
It's ace.
I've never used my Wii to play online - where do I get my PIN from?
go to the online mode
in the game. and then go to friends and it should appear somewhere.
Played this all weekend
it is teh awesomes!
Only thing you have to watch out for is the claw, oh and the inevitable Mario Kart rage... I do not get this but I know some who do!
Don't get the rage
yeah yeah
I've got it!
can't get my Wii on my WiFi though. Bloody internet security...
