Contra 4 is indeed cool. I've made it to level 4 once so far, on normal.
Also, other stuff? Bionic Commando is not only going to be remade as a next-gen 3D game, but also being remade as an x-blox live arcade game type thing, with 2D gameplay but 3D rendering. Looks sweet. Also, just got a Wii, but no games yet. Are basically badly manufactured. I know of around 7 needing to be sent back from both the red rings and just generally falling apart (battery pack on top disconnecting - happened twice believe it or not).
There's a rumour that using a surge protector can cause failure because the unit needs a high constant current. But like anything electronic a power spike can also fry it, so probably only Billy knows what the proper solution is. im thinking of getting a psp in the future, but i dont know. the only reason is so i can play quake1/2 and doom/heretic/hexen on it. and old nes games with an emulator or something.
i cant think of any game on the psp i'd like to try though. playstation is kinda alien to me. if only the ds was as easy get ports running without having to buy some memory card adapter and shit, i'd stick with it. but damn nintendo to hell. anyway, do you guys think its worth buying a psp just to play ports of pc games and maybe having it run emulator of old consoles and such? What you need to do is google "PSP HOMEBREW". Thats what they call custom games setups for the PSP, of which there are LOADS!! :D
You have to get the correct 'firmware' installed on your PSP, (firmware - like the OS version) it all can be done (all required files/hacks can be easily downloaded for free from the internet), but you may have to mess around with it for a while before you get it to work... I tried installing Quake on my girlfriends PSP, and I could get it to the icon/title on the screen, but then it would crash. This is because I had the wrong firmware version on the PSP... Good luck man, its all do-able! Willem/Ijed Hehe, I've had my 360 for about two years now, and I have never had a single red light on it (probably tempting fate saying this...) On the other had, when I bought it, I brought it home, set it up and plugged it in, tried to turn it on and it wouldnt come on (no power at all), so I had to get the first one swapped back in the shop I bought it from. The replacement has worked fine ever since... Which is great really, cause GTA4 (the game I bought it for) is coming out the 29th of July! Metlslime - Wii Have you turned your new Wii on yet - you say you have no games, but doesnt your Wii have Wii sports already installed on it? Two of my friends have Wiis, and they both have Wii sports on them - fucking brilliant game!! Well worth a go! :-D "Hehe, I've had my 360 for about two years now, and I have never had a single red light on it (probably tempting fate saying this...) "
Yeah, I used to say the same thing - until my 360s started dying. It's not a matter of 'if' - it's 'when'. :) http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/wii/nomoreheroes
Is definitely the next game I'll be buying. It's from the same studio that did Killer7. I'd played enough wii sports at other people's houses that i don't have a huge desire to play it... but I did play a round of each game just for fun.
The future of PSP belongs to Patapon

This is similar to "Averaging Gradius" mentioned previously. A bunch of recorded runs of the same Super Mario World level, played simultaneously so you can see where the various runs seperate and converge.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2OytHzZ72Y i decided that instead of getting a psp, im going for a ps2 :)
mostly because i remembered a game that i wanted to play when it came out, and sucks that there is no pc port! or even a wii port or something (said game is shadow of the colossus) i'll probably get one by the end of the month, with these games: the warriors shadow of the colossus katarami damacy i also thought of getting on the far future the silent hill games and the god of war games too. and find ico for cheap somewhere as well. and the grand theft auto trilogy with all 3 games, because its cheap! :) any other ones i should know about? man, and to think i used to believe consoles sucked! :) don't forget guitar hero if you haven't already played it. Also, psychonauts... final fantasies...
the warriors: http://ps2.ign.com/articles/658/658876p1.html
you and metlslime just listed the games i doubt i'll ever get, except for psychonauts. that one looks funky as hell. anyway, i have been so bored lately that i just went out and got a ps2. with colossus, and man, that game is fucking awesome! gah!! So yeah, Wii Fit. It's actually pretty good!
The "board" functions as a scale and pressure pad and can determine your balance, movement, center of gravity, etc from the way you stand and move on it. The board is well made and feels very solid. They have a good range of games in there under 4 categories (yoga, muscle training, aerobics and balance). You start out with a few games in each category, and unlock more as you go. Many of them are quite fun and novel, and they make good use of the board (which seems to be very sensitive, depending somewhat on how the games are tweaked, but it certainly can pick up an impressive range of movement). Yoga and muscle training are more like traditional exercise/stretching (complete with "trainers" that have dodgy models and annoying voices), so they're not really "games" as such, but the balance and aerobics categories include plenty of actual games that are fun and will entice you to play them for the hell of it, rather than simply doing it to keep fit. The game makes full use of the Mii avatars, so you can choose your own Mii and the game will be populated with any others that you've created as well. It's not exactly an intense workout (at least at the beginner level I'm at) but it'll get you moving in lots of different ways, and you'll feel it by the end of your session. Zelda: Twilight Princess on the gamecube. Not sure why I didn't try it sooner tbh - it's great :}
The oddly antiquated midi music and lack of voice acting feels a bit stuck in the past, but that might be more to do with a memory limitation of the gamecube than anything else. Besides, the music is still good, and I'd rather have no voice acting than crap voice acting. I deliberately picked up the gamecube version over the Wii, because quite frankly I tried the Wii version and the wrist-flicking sword control got tedious after ~10 mins. Will refrain from posting more impressions until I get more of a feel for the game - only just over 10 hours in, currently doing the second dungeon I think (Goren Mines).
