New Wii Update Speeds up SD Transfers
Do you use SD Cards to store games because you have run out of space on the Wii's internal memory? Well you should be happy...well sort of I suppose.
According to www.vc-reviews.com
"This update vastly improves the time taken to transfer WiiWare or Virtual Console games to a SD card. Some have said it is now around 5x faster with a 320 block game such as World of Goo taking around 20 – 30 seconds to transfer (depending on what brand your SD card is)."
So it's quicker to swap your games around but there's still no play from card, or, HDD solution. I don't understand why this is part of Nintendo's strategy. I'm sure the storage issue is making a lot of people reconsider each VC or WW purchase. Jog on FW3.4

Controls
Sega's 1997 arcade title, Top Skater, used a hydraulic platform to simulate skateboarding. Now we can have the slightly cheaper version courtesy of the Wii Balance Board.
An alternative for those of us not blessed with a Balance Board will be the familiar Wii-mote wagglin' we've all come to know and love. For the DS the wagglin' will be stylus based.
When I know more about how exactly this will work, I'll post the info here.
Metroid: from Gamecube to Wii
This is a review of sorts to sum up my perspective on the Metroid games: Prime, Echoes and Corruption.
With regard to background, Prime was the first Metroid game I ever played though I was aware of the franchise through Smash Bros., general chit-chat with other gamers and a bit of reading up on the storyline.
The game world itself was a new experience for me and as the first Metroid in true 3D, probably was for even those accustomed to the story and style of play, I should think (correct me if I’m wrong!).

Well it's been a few days now and I've finished the game :)
Golds everywhere!!
I have still yet to unlock one lightweight player and a small kart. I can only guess this is through getting one, two or however many is maximum stars on ALL the cups. This is seeming a little impossible but I spose I'll get there ;)
I'm quite glad it hasn't finished on all golds actually, like the N64 one (I think I got all golds on double dash but I wasn't a big fan of it so I don't know if I unlocked everything). I still look forward to getting online and having some other people to race against :)

I haven't had the time to spend looking at games. It's either been working or working on the site. I recently been looking into this game and it looks sweet. A good FPS is just what the Wii needs right now.
