This is the only game I'm buying tomorrow:

You didn't like Metroid Prime 3?

Not compared to one and two. On its own merits it was an alright, solid FPSer.

Wooooooooo!!! I haz my MW3. There were a lot of people there. Something tells me this game might be big. Installing to HDD ... NAO.

Let me know how it is!

Just a shot in the dark here, but I reckon it will be like all the other Call of Duty games.

The first time I want GG to post Dolphin pics and he is not here to do so. This is for you GG:

OMG!!!!

Play it on your Wii then, it takes 5-10 minutes to homebrew it (and you should have done it already to play imports and stuff). That's what I'll do since my PC isn't powerful enough for Dolphin to run the better 3D games smoothly. I'm acquiring as we speak. But I still need a new TV,  the colors are all screwy which is why I haven't played many Wii games lately, including Xenoblade...

Zelda Demo is disappointing to me control wise.

The pointer is shitty, using just motion plus rather than the sensor bar, which isn't nearly as good in either feel or reliability. You have to wrestle with it moving around constantly and each time slightly differently, yanking and persisting to get it where you want, as opposed to always having the same exact accuracy as in sensor bar based controls, pointing all over the screen with accuracy in an instant.

And the sword slashes get mixed up way too often though that may be fixable as you get used to the controls and do better swings. But then that means you probably can't play it as relaxed as you could with something like, for example, Red Steel 2 (set to the more relaxed sensitivites in the options).

I'm comparing to Red Steel 2 instead of WSR because the feel is closer to that imo, since all the 8 directions you slash in are essentially gestures you activate, not 1:1 movement as in WSR, though there's 1:1 movement in every other motion and it blends well enough to not be jarring. I don't care for that, it's a design choice, I just hope it works better in the final game and/or as you play more and get used to it.

But yeah, the pointer is a big problem for me since you use it when in first person mode, or for all the different ranged weapons, etc. In other situations, like selecting stuff in circle menus, or options from left to right etc, they've made it compensate well, you barely have to move.

I hope this is because this was meant to be a public demo, it's the same one as in the events, so they made it not use the sensor bar at all due to potential interference, and that the final game will use the sensor bar cursor method wherever applicable.

Other than that, not much to add. Everyone's seen the content in the demo over and over. The game is a looker and the addition of mechanics like the stamina and such or the sword ranged attacks is going to be awesome when coupled with later challenges etc.

Oh, and the demo is widescreen only, like Xenoblade and some other Wii games, so even if you play on a 4:3 TV, set your Wii to widescreen mode and your TV to squish the image with black bars, to get slightly sharper quality rather than having the Wii itself waste some of its resolution output to rendering black bars.

And it's kinda stupid to still have the Z button bring down those black bars on top of that giving you even less screen estate on a 4:3 tv. Why don't they indicate it's pressed in some other way, if one is at all needed... Do a vignette effect or something.

Ace Attorney trailer is amazing! That is how you do a video game translation, literally translate it scene by scene.

OMG New Game + confirmed for Zelda!!

Oh and the entire plot has been leaked.
