I loved Melee so much, and it was a long wait for Brawl. The time it released I was car-less, and my family was out of town, so I went in the dark black of the night on-foot to my local Gamestop for the midnight launch. I was cold, tired, and scared, and I pretty much went to sleep as soon as I got back, but I knew this baby would be waiting for me the next morning. 



Melee had a great roster of characters, though I'm sad to see Roy and Mewtwo not make the cut this time around in favor of Ike and Lucario. 



Brawl has an ever bigger roster though. It even had Sonic (thanks EGM!) and Solid Snake joining the Nintendo crew. 



It's more or less the same game as Melee. I just didn't like how they changed the perfect physics of Melee, when they created Brawl. Oh well, it was still a damn fine experience. 


I liked the new Adventure mode somewhat when it came to cut-scenes, and boss fights, however I much prefer the way Melee made it. 


They also added online play!.... Except when you play it, lag will often ruin the match entirely. It works better since everyone stopped jamming the servers at launch, but it's very lackluster, but not surprising for the Wii and the fact that fighting games have terrible online play to begin with. 



The multiplayer matches are still fun though if you're offline. Tons of stages, modes, and whatnot to keep you battling your friends until the end of the night. 



I liked the Final Smashes, even though they were so unbalanced. For example Samus has a killer move for a final smash. 




Kirby...not so much. 



It makes you the juggernaut for awhile, and it's completely optional so I can't really complain. It's fun to use on someone better than you are of course. In short, I was bit disappointed in Brawl because it didn't meet my hype for it. But honestly what game could have met such an epic setting of the bar?

Mario Galaxy, along with Super Paper Mario, Mario Strikers Charged, and Punchout will re-release for 19.99 sometime this month. Pretty sweet deal, most of these games are fantastic.

The Wii won't get left too far behind when the 3rd game hits PS3 and 360. I'd rather wait for the Wii U version if they make it.

I liked the first game, but I think the 2nd game is quite a bit better. 


Jetski was boring though. 


Frisbee modes were pretty sweet though. 


Canoe was crap


Table Tennis was alright


I really didn't like basketball. Sucked at it in multiplayer.



I loved the sword fighting. 




Archery was also pretty sweet.


Was also more than happy to see bowling come back in full force.

New Super Mario Bros. was pretty good on DS, however I liked the Wii version even more so. 


The game is more or less the same concept though. Except they add real multiplayer co-op that was promised with the DS game but was never delivered. 


I really liked the new power-ups than the multiplayer though. The controls were pretty good, except some various uses of motion control at certain parts. Think Super Mario Galaxy if you don't know what I mean. 


Plus the level design was much better, and harder than it's DS counterpart. The game is completely original from the DS game, it is no remake or port. It's one of the best Wii games you can get for the system.

Wii Sports came with practically every Wii ever sold in stores. Though I would never buy it, I did quite enjoy my "free" game. 


Wii Tennis was decent, but I wished I could move around a bit more. 


Wii Baseball was pretty fun, but like Tennis I wanted more control. 


Golf was annoyingly picky. 


Wii Boxing was alright, but I could never play my brother due to lack of 2nd Nunchuck. 


Wii Bowling was pretty sweet though.

I really liked Super Mario Sunshine, so I couldn't wait for the next Mario console game. 


Instead of a water-gun/jetpack and a tropical island, Mario was sent out to space. I really liked the little planets, and how they could diversify the game with many different kinds of areas. 


I really liked the new power-ups too. Bee Mario was awesome. 


The last boss fight against Bowser was pretty epic too. Along with the other bosses in the game.

I think most of us just got it for the "free" controller, but it's a turd. 



Now don't get me wrong some of the mini-games are alright, targets, and pool work okay. 


However the tanks mini-game was too hard to control.


Table Tennis was a decent idea, but way too sensitive.


Laser air hockey looked cool, but played pretty lamed. 


Cow racing makes you feel like you were drunk riding a grocery cart.


I loved Resident Evil 4 on Gamecube, and I couldn't wait for the Wii version. 


The new Wii controls are much easier than the Gamecube ones. It's pretty easy to move around, and aim freely. However Capcom thinks so too, so they added more enemies to make the game tougher. I like my cakewalks Capcom!



Even the interactive cut-scenes have Wii controls in mind. They work fairly well. 


Plus all the content from the PS2 version is available on the Wii disc, which makes this really the best version to have.
