Anywho, enough about what we're playing. What about you all? What game(s) will get you through the days ahead?

Ahh, the second rank battle is so simple. I'm actually going through bitter right now. [and you'd better be talking about bitter as well, or you deserve an epic fail]

This is more of a question about how NMH sold in the US. Are there any stats out about this yet or are we just left in the dark as to how well it did? I didn't search for it at all, but I was wondering if anyone knew offhand.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Its doing exeedingly well for a niche title. Over 100k sold in the US and 160k preorders in the UK.

I'm thinking I might devote a lot of my weekend to Harvest Moon. W00t! Or maybe Paper Mario.

Is it just me, or in that picture does Travis's wrist look badly broken?

So the ending is worth about $25 bucks and GP is worth the other $25.people go buy this game and expierence NMH for yourself, i 100% the game in about 8 hrs but i am the man and hope for their a sequel to be even greater the ending of this game was better than any movie ending in 2007

I just got Battalion Wars 2 today and will probably be playing this for the next two weeks until we get our veganized version of NMH. If all else fais I can still finally attempt to solve the last puzzle of Zack & Wiki. I just didn't take the time so far to study that entire level.

Trust me man, BWii doesn't last 2 weeks. You'll beat the main stroyline in about 1 week I'm guessin' (I did) and wifi gets repetitie after a while. It's alright when you go back to it after a long time of ot playing it, but it was pretty dissapointing to me.
Anyways, I'll prolly get this game during the summer drought, and right now I'm playing MoH:H2, RE4, Days of Ruin, and some TP.

Well, my roommate's 360 up and died so that's out until next weekend (my birthday) when I finally get a 360 of my own. So this weekend is dedicated to the Wii games I have time to finish, Zack and Wiki and No More Heroes, maybe RE4.

I only get a few hours of playtime a week so I'm still playing through NMH (I get through one rank about each play session). I'm currently ranked 6th but have the in laws coming for a visit in a week so I'm not sure I'll get any playtime between now and then while trying to make the house spotless.

I' m ranked 164, anyone want to play me I'm SMoss 89 meet me in the east lobby :)

Sorry, but, #2 is a lot easier than #6. XD There's no way you're having any trouble at all, LIARS!
Posted: Feb 15th 2008 3:22PM (Unverified) said
#6 was so damn hard! I think I died like 5 times before I finally beat it!
Going through a second time on bitter.... ranked #9 at the moment, so far it's been easy as pie

I'm playing through NMH a second time (on mild, played through on sweet the first time, don't give me crap for it) and I just beat #2 ranking quite easily. I'll probably beat the game again today (and see that awesome ending once more!). Then I might go to Super Mario Galaxy and work on my file with Luigi (at 27 stars I believe)

I'll be playing some Mystical Ninja on the VC and Star Ocean on the old PS2 :)

Still working on NMH on Wii. Also going through Gods of Thunder on VC (seriously, this has quickly become my favorite VC title and I bought it on a whim because it has a cool name).
Playing a lot of games on the PC lately: Just got Bioshock. Playing Ep. 1 of Penumbra Overture (this would make a freaking awesome Wii game!). Going through Fallout 2 once again for old times sake. And I'm still working on Witcher.
Out of the three gaming outlets I own(Wii, PC, DS), the only one that hasn't seen any love lately is the DS. But I want to get that Professor Laten Game. That looks fun.

I will hopefully get the last 3 stars in Mario Galaxy...that Purple Coin stage in Toy Time Galaxy is a BITCH.
Other than that, I will continue on RE4 and MarioKart DS.
I am going to trade in some stuff this weekend (DS, GBA and GC games) and pick up Professor Layton and No More Heroes...I loved Killer 7 and can't wait to pick this one up.

This weekend i finish Radiant Dawn, now and forever
Tonight, i fight Izuka, who apparently is really tough because of the Rewarp staff, allowing him to warp all over the field at his discretion

Picked up Professor Layton last night and have been obsessing over it. Have NMH to finish (haven't touched the game in about a week), newest FE, Wind Waker and Hotel Dusk. I'm now debating if I should stop at Target after work to pick up some Wii Points so I can download Harvest Moon. So many games, so little time and all that jazz!

I finally got around to picking up No More Heroes the other day after trading in the copy of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games that the GF got me for Christmas. Awesome game! I just got past Holly Summers. Other than that, I've still got Metroid Prime 3 (only 45% finished) and Super Mario Galaxy (just did the first "Prankster Comet" level) to play, and then DQ Swords and SSBB come out. So as of this moment, I'm perfectly content.

I bought some Wii Points for the first time yesterday, so I'll be officially starting VC purchases sometime this weekend.

I bought killer 7 in preparation for NMH and i have to say, i can't quite get ahold of the controls, therefore the game is less than fun for me at the moment...probably the reason i havn't picked up NMH..
Posted: Feb 16th 2008 3:37PM (Unverified) said
Actually, NMH is a much more normal control scheme. It has a little bit of waggle, but menu navigation is traditional key/button-based and most gameplay is the same. Most of the waggle is for "deathblows" in swordfighting, suplexes, and minigames.

You mean "Bad Girl"? That's one hard boss! I barely beat her with 3 squares of my heart left, just yesterday. And here I thought that Killer 7 was gonna be some kind of "never seen again" artistic game. I hope Grasshopper & Suda 51 are producing games for a long, long time to come.

That b**** is so freaking hard, I died so many times. I'm playing on Easy mode and this is the hardest battle in the whole game from what I've heard. I finally did manage to beat her around 4:30 this morning after constantly playing it trying to win. I'm glad that's over...now I have to collect a crapload of money just to enter the next mission, and I still need to upgrade to like the Tsubaki Mk. II and the Japanese one e.e
Wish me luck lol, but this is definitely one of my top 5 Wii games. :D
