: Tennis gets pretty intense too, if you really get into it. I've broken a
: sweat many times while playing that game...
Yeah, indeed.
: Haven't had a chance to play the Wii Play suite yet, though I'd certainly
: like to give it a spin...
Well, I picked up a copy for Crosis that I'm bringing up with me next week so you'll have a chance then! ;)
: SSX takes some getting used to. Most of the basics you can acquire within an
: hour or two of gameplay, but the uber-tricks are the stumbling block for
: me (and most other people, AFAIK). Nonetheless, in spite of that fact, I
: really enjoy the game quite a bit, and have 'invested' many hours in
: enjoying it.
Yeah, I hear that! I just don't know, I got down the basic controls pretty quickly but hitting those haripin turns is still far more difficult than it should be IMO, I think the controls are lacking sensitivity in that arena.
: The new metroid games have definitely impressed me, some very cool level
: layouts and 'puzzles' to work through, and SMG just looks jaw-droppingly
: awesome. Strictly from watching the video previews, I can't really decide
: between SM Galaxy or Super Paper Mario. For me, though, I can't conceive
: of very many enjoyable & easy-to-use features to really make a Smash
: Bros game for Wii much of anything special. It's a pretty basic format,
: which (at least in prior iterations) doesn't seem to have many gameplay
: elements that could take advantage of the Wii's interface....
Yeah, I don't think SSBs is going to be a revolutionary or groundbreaking play experience, I just think it would be fun to play with the new characters and whatnot. Maybe some online play? That would be the biggest draw IMO... I'm all over Metroid the second it comes out, can't wait for that! Mario Galaxy looks interesting but the jury's still out on it IMO because it looks like it COULD be as awesome as Mario 64 or as relatively unimpressive as Mario Sunshine ya know? Paper mario looks really cool though!
: The game that I am waiting for is EA Sports NHL 2008. Hockey games are fun,
: and from what Crosis was telling me a few days ago, it sounds like the Wii
: could be the best platform yet for playing hockey. The level of control
: that you would be granted by having the Wiimote represent your stick in
: all the important aspects of gameplay would be nearly orgasmic!
Eh, I'm not a big sports guy, not really my thing but that's cool. :)
