I didn't play the second one (heard it wasn't as good), but the first Metroid Prime was ridiculously incredibly great.

2nd one is basically a rehash of the first one. that being said i think the 2nd is harder/more annoying.

I don't like The Bigs at all. The pitching is ok, the fielding/throwing is not very good, and the hitting is flat-out awful, with there being a very noticeable swing lag.

This is a big disappointment because my favorite game on Wii sports is baseball. I still play that reasonably often even though it's obviously very shallow with no fielding. I would take a simple mii baseball game where you moved the fielders using the nunchuk and could somehow run the bases and make throws.

I dunno, I never really thought there was a swing lag, you just had to react faster than in wii-sports. But from actually swinging to it swinging on the game it was fine.

The game's problem was that it was way too repetitive, I got tired very quickly.

we know of Mario Kart...and Wii Fitness...and Animal Crossing, Endless Ocean, No More Heroes, Project HAMMER, Wii Motor Sports

but before last week, we didn't even know about Mario Kart, so i'm sure there will be PLENTY more...it's still 6 months away, after all

i'm predicting a Mario Tennis and Mario Golf to come out

and of course there will be hundreds of 3rd party games

[Jack of Arcades]

project hammer is dead.

[Nicholasp27]

possibly; they've shifted resources to other things, but it isn't confirmed dead; just in hibernation; if they don't have enough other games to work on, they'll put more resources on it, so if it's dead its because other games are coming out; either way, there will be plenty of games from Nintendo in 2008 for Wii, along with hundreds from 3rd parties
