Release date for Elebits,

according to EB Games Elizabeth Elebits is due for release April 1st and should be called elebits not eledees.

they also sell wii points cards but they go out of stock very quickly.

currently no release date for Super Mario Galaxy but due Q3 Q4

 

[Sam_Harris]

Did anyone else get the email from Nintendo about WarioWare: Smooth Moves appearing at Macquarie Centre in Sydney? I live about 10 minutes away and thought I would check it out but after I saw the videos of people playing the game I don't think it's worth it. This game looks terrible:

For anyone who is still interested after watching those videos, here is the email:

WarioWare is supposed to be a fun type of game. Not a high graphics....

 

[PeterB87]

I'm not talking about the graphics, that doesn't bother me. The games just look really stupid to me. I mean, flipping a pancake over a stove or using a fan to keep a feather floating in the air? How much fun could that possibly be? I'm sure as hell not gonna pay $80 to find out.

Having said that I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who will like this game. I hated Red Steel within the first 15 minutes of playing it then I met someone who's finished it and loved the game. I'm just glad I got back what I paid for it.

My gf has already instructed me to get this game after I showed her the YouTube videos of the game. Hopefully I'll get it a few days before official launch

On another note, has anyone read this? Pretty interesting.
