erf, I thought I was getting that at launch with my PAL Wii

What do I win?
This is probably the only extra game I'll buy at launch, simply because of the extra controller... then all I need is another nunchuck and I'll just spend the holidays playing this and Wii Sports (and maybe some VC stuff) with my girlfriend until I have the money for more games

FROM LATEST NOM:
Big surprise is the pool game which seems more in depth and involving than any of the Wii sports games. Use dpdad to line up shot and remote to choose where to strike ball. Hold a button and pull back on remote like a cue and push forward to take shot. (with the speed affecting power)
The controls the camera the feel, everything about pool makes it great.

Actually, you can no longer pre-order Wii accessories at EB/Gamestop anyway. I had pre-ordered/paid of an extra controller a couple of weeks back, and I went in the other day to pre-order a VC controller, and alas, corporate took out the SKUs for all of the Wii accessories.
Believe it!

ziran said:Pose Mii
Twist the Wii Remote to rotate the Mii characters and quickly slot them into the correct positions as they fall down the screen.
Does anybody here on this forum think that this will be fun for more than 5 seconds? The game reminds me of those shape sorters, and these are toys for 8-year olds.
Don't think I'd care for it if it wasn't for the "free" controller, it's more like a controller with a free game to me...and that's great seeing how I really like minigames but can't get myself to pay for them, love the little things in NSMB but only because they're a bonus to the normal game. Same reason why I'll probably pass on Wario Ware but have Monkey Ball Wii as one of my most wanted games at the moment...

Eh? Unless you're talking about downloadable accessories, why would they be selling Mii through the Shopping Channel?

£35 for this and a controller, so £5 for this game...... If it is crap bar one or two of them, no big deal in my opinion!!ziran said:

Don't you twist the Wii mote to get the desired shape you need? It shows people what the controller can do. To my Missus she can't believe it can do that, so to some it is a cool concept!!ziran said:

Which is exactly why it's so strange that there's no info about this being available at launch in North America.
If they release it next year, most people will have already purchased an extra controller.

Britprog said:Good news for UK gaffers, it looks like the retail price for Wii play is £35. Thats a fiver less than normal Wii games.
It means it ends up costing £5 for just Wii Play, cause it cost £30 for an Wiimote.

£30. So, the game is free, effectively
Tanks/Combat used to be the game of choice when I had my Atari 2600. The whole family loved that game, they'd probably go nuts to see it again with tactile controls.

Yeah Pool was excellent, you should not use dpad to line up the shot though, I think they just didn't realize how to do it with the Wiimote -> just hold a button (B, IIRC) and move the wiimote while the cursor is not pointing at your ball. Very intuitive. Good stuff.
The find a Mii and the Tank games are the only ones I haven't played. Laser Hockey, Table Tennis, Pool and Shooting Gallery are all ace. Oh, and you can definitely hit the ball faster, make spins and move in every direction in Table Tennis, the game is not easy at first, but we soon understood how the game worked. These are definitely much harder to pick up and play than Wii Tennis and Bowling for example, but in a good way. Definitely recommended!
In case someone has missed it, here's me and my friend playing Laser Hockey, the first one has faster action, but the second vid shows off some advanced techniques that even the Nintendo rep didn't know of:

How will Table Tennis work for the player on the far side of the table? Do you just move your paddle from side to side or do you actually have to strike it?
Battersea Power Station said:
You change sides from time to time, if you move the paddle from side to side and it makes a contact with the ball it means "normal shot". You can do different power shots by striking it the way you like it. It's not easy, though, most gamers will probably move only left and right for the first couple of games.
You move the paddle left and right by moving the Wiimote left and right, the power strikes come from pushing the Wiimote forwards at the same time..
