Even ignoring the hype. It's just plain a bad game. One of the worst I've ever had the misfortune of owning.

I dunno. I just feel like I have to, even though for most people it didn't live up to the 11 years of hype.

Maybe some Mario Party 8, since you already have at least 3 friend willing to mooch off your Wii anyway. Why not?

@VioletArrows:
I got NiGHTS for cheap, and I still regret it. If you can't rent it, don't bother with the game at all. It's SO bad. The voice acting is atrocious, the cut scenes are incredibly ugly as well as unskippable, the game doesn't control anywhere near as well as the original and the platforming sections are just plain un-fun.

You're better off trying to hunt down a Saturn and the original. Or modding your PS2 and importing the remake from Japan.

Brawl Semi-Super Deal]]> http://kotaku.com/366518/toys-r-us-smash-bros-brawl-semi+super-deal#c4653567 got this yesterday it was a good deal. i didnt know about the deal with Z&W until i checked out the game at the register, but the lady nicely exchanged my purchase and let me rebuy it with Z&W.

and finally got to use my $25 SMG gift certificate. $40 out the door with 2 great games

i'm sure capcom will be pleased with the sudden influx of sales for Z&W. albeit less than what they want to sell them for...

and risking a public flogging, i have to say i'm not liking SSBB. I never owned any Smash Bros. games, i fail to see the fun in this. is there any strategy to this? Do I need to get a GC controller to fully appreciate it?

I had to ask the clerk if $30 was the retail price or the discounted. So for $15, I couldn't go wrong.

I'm lovin' Zack & Wiki too! You guys didn't steer me wrong.

SSBB is sold out every where in town right now... and a few people have been telling me to try Zack & Wiki. i actually wasn't going to buy either as i still have like 3 games on the Wii that are half done and one i never even played yet (MP3).

oh well... SSBB and Zack & Wiki are on their way to my mailbox now! can't really go wrong with a $15 game that reviewed as well as Zack & Wiki did.

Costco had a copy (and about 25 others) sitting on a shelf around 5 o'clock launch day.
I didn't even go there to get SSBB, it was just a bonus.
Oh yeah, and it was only $43.59 + tax

Tell you what that Random Character feature is the best thing they put in the game. Also special brawl with high gravity with 1.4 damage ratio brings it close enough to Melee to make it playable.

BTW.. Pick up Zack and Wiki for the 15 dollars.. Best offer ever!

I could always get a second copy since I know one of my friends will want one and by the time he gets around to buying it, the game will have probably disappeared from shelves.

And the rest of that list is incredibly underwhelming.

Don't be hating now; there are at least 6-7 really good Wii games out there that the 'core' audience can dig.
