TweeSpeak, I think it sums it up better.

None of my lot are interested in the Wii unfortunately so it's single player all the way unless the game has online play(mind you, my mates aren't interested in Wii online either, so....single player all the way again).

I know one thing, if I was dating that blonde in the pic the last thing on my mind would be playing video games!

Never mind reminders for people to play multiplayer, get that review written! ;-)

Seriously, I want to know if this games worth picking up. Nintendo have done their usual and released what could be a big seller with barely a whisper of information on the title, don't they like selling games or soemthing?

"Maybe the console stand isn't in line with your house's decor or you think the rubber feet on the Wii itself is suitable enough for its placement on some wooden table or, dare we say, carpet?"

It needs its stand in the vertical position, otherwise you'd be blocking an important air vent, especially if it's on carpet :-0

If you look at the stand you'll notice it's drilled out below where the bottom vent would be cradled.

Anyway, vertical for me in a nice cooling led stand that I picked up from ebay. Unlike most of the nonsense Xbox360 fans this one actually does it's job, the fan may feel weak but no longer does my console get hot on the side with WC:24 enabled as it used to with the old stand.

I think it's a shame that sites such as this and Joystiq show these articles, it only encourages people that might not otherwise think about it, to get their consoles chipped. Promoting piracy which is very sad IMO.

Typical Nintendo, they might be a great company but let's face it, they've never been listeners. What we want is irrelevant really, it's what they want to give us that counts.

Hard drive, headsets, downloadable Wii game demos etc. etc. We may aswell forget it because Nintendo don't care, they have their sales and that's all that matters.

BTW I do also think Wii owners should at least have the option to plug in an external hard drive. We don't all have lightning speed connections to keep deleting and re-downloading :-/

I don't see the blue WiFi logo on the box art, Noooooooooo!

Damn I wanted to play this with my mates back home(moved from my home country a couple years ago). The Wii is crying out for an online golf game and this one would have been perfect for it :-/

What's this? Another old people playing Wii story...yawn.

I'm with Elric on this one(no voice, no buy).

I play almost nightly on Xbox Live and love having a laugh with my mates(some of which I never meet in person anymore). I only play friends and have built up a great friends list over time so no need to play randoms. It's always great banter and for sure games I still play online today such as GoW would have long since gone into retirement without voice comms adding fun and banter into the gameplay.

I've already cancelled a few of my Wii preorders that I was expecting to have voice comms(just cancelled BWII & MoH:H2) and Mario Strikers would have been bought if it allowed voice communication(at least between friends, don't care about chatting with randoms).

I know there are solutions such as using your pc or Xbox360 for voice comms but for me that's just too much hasstle, gaming should be pick up & play IMO).

Nintendo stated they would be taking online play seriously this generation, so far to me they're shooting way off the mark, the 360, ps3, ps2 & even the DS all allow voice comms, why not the Wii.

It would be easy to give voice comms an optional block(mute) within parental controls, that way people that don't want to hear other people could just select that option and carry on as before. For the rest of us at least let us taunt our mates/ talk through strategies etc.(depending on game of course).

IGN did a poll on this recently and the overwhelming majority voted in favour of voice comms(98% in fact), doubt Nintendo will listen to that though, they just do their own thing and we have to just like it or accept it :-(

Looks a bit complicated for me not really being a footy player. Must admit though they appear to be putting some great ideas into this title and I imagine it should be very playable for the more hardcore football game players.

Always nice to see developers putting the Wii's unique controls to good use and trying something new.
