FFS. Does no-one remember the way this worked in the GCN version of WarioWare? I'm, unlike all of you, actually annoyed that it only supports a 12 player mode. Warioware GCN supported a 16 player mode. Oh well... at least this time they might give us a bigger player roster.

As far as I'm aware, it's Yuji Naka (or possibly Sonic Team) who owns the NiGHTS franchise, which means that the game wouldn't be made by SEGA, it'd be made by either Sora (Naka's new company) or Sonic Team.
Despite this, Naka has tried twice to create a new NiGHTS game. The first time, he decided that he couldn't make a game better than NiGHTS was the first time around, and no matter what he added to it, that to him it would only feel like a graphical update (this is also his current thoughts on new iterations of NiGHTS) the code they had spent on this was then cleaned up and given away for free as Christmas NiGHTS. The SECOND time a sequel for NiGHTS was attempted it also got a name change. Becoming Air NiGHTS, the game had you controlling NiGHTS through the use of a "motion-detecting tilt-sensing wand" which, in hindsight, sounds like a slightly less capable Wii Remote. THIS NiGHTS iteration was scrapped because the wand controller would have cost too much to produce to sell with it's one game. Considering now that this wand cost is removed, I wouldn't be half surprised if we finally saw Air NiGHTS.

Grrr....

Only Americans would be so presumptuous :) (World Series, haha)

Well, this is a double loss for Nintendo here...
I was going to buy 4 Wiimotes and 4 Nunchuk units anyway, and I wanted some classic controllers as well. I already own 4 gamecube controllers, all offical (but the C-stick is mildly broken on one of them). In my region, you cannot actually buy the nunchuk units and classic controllers seperately, so I was really hoping to do away with my old GC hardware completely (except for memory cards) and play the stuff on the Wii. But apparently now I can't. This really annoys me, especially considering that the only reason I can see for this is that the analogue L/R triggers are missing and the 10 or more games I own for the GameCube don't care about analogue L/R triggers. (By the way, this in itself shits me Nintendo... why is the digital mapping of the L/R triggers set to 50% when they clearly have a "click" near 100%? Seriously? I can't release/control the friggin' thing properly!). But in any case, I have no choice but to buy 4 classic controllers if I want 4 nunchuks, and now, despite having 4 seemingly compatable controllers, I have to lug around and wirelessly attach four ridiculously short cabled GC controllers? Piss off Nintendo. Man I hate you sometimes.

I'm really excited about this, actually... at about the same time as the Wii's release, my long-time girlfriend and I are moving into our own place.

Long story short, my girlfriend is fucking awesome and we're building an entire room around the Wii.

I'm not sure where it fits in to the whole scheme of things, but check out the game "Ballistic" for the PSX. I mean, it's pretty old now.

Oh, and where the hell is the eth0 port? Argh! I want one of those :( I'd take a quick and accurate connection over wireless anyday. Oh well, I suppose I need to upgrade my router anyway... and I am moving house. (And it's not like wireless is really bad for speed/accuracy anyway... well, it's enough for a console at any rate.)

Good to know that I'm good to go, if I want to go I'll be good to go. And that's good, being good to go. In fact, knowing that I'm going to be good to go is good to know. Haha, OK, I've had my fun. I'm good to go now. :)
