WRUP: so close we can taste it edition

Still slowly but surely chipping away at Final Fantasy XII. Home ownership SERIOUSLY cuts into ones gaming time. Keep that in mind everyone.

My brother works at gamestation and visits on wednesdays, he brought round a copy of Wario Ware smooth moves to play before it's official release today. :)

It's a great game although I only got to play the first two characters, Wario and Mona, after Mona you unlocked Kat & Ana, and a new character who looks like an anime boy with eccentric hair. :D

I'm at college right now, on the way home after I get off the bus I'll popping into Woolworths quick and buying a copy. :)

Smooth Moves is a rent-first for me, but this version looks to be exceedingly fun. Trauma Center was also rent-first IMO, but I bought that after a two-day rental!

I tried Gears of War last night. The game looks amazing, especially in HD. Too bad the gameplay was bland. I'm not much for shooters, and I suppose if you were it would be a pretty decent game, but there wasn't much except the visuals to keep me interested.

So as of now, my gaming lineup is still Wii Sports, Zelda:TP, Trauma Center, Madden 07 Wii, and Bomberman 93. I'm crossing my fingers hoping for a Super Mario World, LoZ:A Link to the Past, or StarFox 64 VC release soon. I won't get much gaming done this weekend, though - four NFL playoff games to watch, plus I'm heading back to college on Sunday. Fun, fun!

My mate got a real shock when he got this yesterday. He was convinced there was no multiplayer, until he realised you have to unlock it.

@1 Have to agree with you about the hom ownership! Its bittersweet really

Will be playing Zelda TP, Smash Bros. Melee, Madden 07, Sports. Cant buy anymore Wii games till Tues :)

You have to unlock multiplayer? Whoa.

It even says on the box "One player" with a figure of the Wiimote with 1 on it and the nunchuk next to it.

I'm super psyched for this. I love all WarioWare games (even Touched...which a lot of people seem to view as a let-down).

I'll be playing Harmony of Dissonance on my Game Boy Micro this weekend to tide me over. The Castlevania Double Pack for GBA is so awesome...

WarioWare looks promising, but I think I'll wait to get it. It's no fun playing a party game by yourself and I don't want to get too much experience in it, or else my friends will accuse me of practicing behind their back.

This weekend, it's Rogue Galaxy (director's cut) and HOPEFULLY beating the crap out of FFIII. I'm in the last dungeon, but way too weak to beat the last boss.

Since I just got Twilight Princess last week (late x-mas gift) I will be playing that this weekend, along with my 2nd go-'round of Metroid Prime 2 (89%), and then Trauma Center, Downhill Jam, Wii Sports and Elebits.

I have already paid for Wario Ware, so I will be there on Tuesday to pick up my copy...I can't wait! I have loved all of the other installments, and am super excited for this one.

RE: Homeownership - Yeah...it is kind of a drag when stuff needs to be done (and you have to do it or pay for it at least), but the benefits far outweigh the negatives.

Got warioware....I think it wont last long.

I think theres only like 15 games per character from what i can see...

I dunno i think its gonna be shortlived. The replay modes dont look great either.

Shame though, this game is bloody BRILLIANT.

Not playing it atm so i dont wear it out too quickly :P

By "Birds" are you referring to the Eagles, the Seahawks, or the Ravens? Or do you just root for any team with a poultry mascot?

@Kai: There's more than 15 games per character, you just unlock more by replaying the story mode stages, which you can then play in the Temple of Form for highscores.

Picked up my copy this afternoon, and I'm loving it. I really hope Nintendo releases a VC version of Starfox with the WW controls and graphics.

@Tim Dunlap,

Type "Go Birds" into Google and you get many-a Eagles fan page.

I'm rooting for the Seahawks. I could care less about them, I'm just ready to see the overhyped Bears fall flat.

I'm all up for rooting for poultry this weekend, I just think anyone not named Chargers is gonna be disappointed after all is said and done.

Still pouring all my free time into Zelda: TP.
Zelda pwnership is far superior to home ownership, it's just harder to borrow off the equity.

Believe it or not, I'm still pumping the quarters into Wii-Sports at the moment. I'm up to 1800 on tennis and still mastering the finer points, such as backspin and reverse slice shots. I'm also starting to rack up some time on Baseball and Boxing, the two sports that I was initially least interested in.
I must admit I am happily surprised how much depth each game has. Ca-ching!

Still playing through Baten Kaitos Origins, over 60 hours in with still much to do. I'll also be working on Yoshi's Island DS (man that game is tough), and Final Fantasy III DS. When will you ever be able to walk into a store and buy a Wii? I've had my copy of Zelda since November, mocking me on the shelf as I can't find the system to play it on.

"I'll also be working on Yoshi's Island DS (man that game is tough)"

Hah. Wait till you get to the "extra" levels... Those are some of the toughest game levels I've EVER played in any game.

Well, l just brought WarioWare today but finished the main mode. I've just got to go through it all again to unlock the poses. By the way, do the poses do anything, other than to look at them?

Also, l suppose l should finish Red Steel and Twilight Princess, as they are both great games but l just keep getting sidetracked with other games on other consoles.

Also, as usual, i'll be messing around on Wii Sports and Wii Play.

I (actually) heart Warioware! Playing it on Friday night, before a (not-very-remembered) night out, was a joyous occasion. It is still as wierd as they've ever been, but it does not have the same soul of Warioware Inc. That said, I am absolutely falling in love with the poses, and 'unlocked' poses, and the dance routine is quickly becoming a classic.
Definitely worth the wait.
