Has anyone played China Warrior? That game sounds pretty cool from the description. Is it worth a purchase?
Got a tip for us?

I find this website to be useful - especially with more obscure titles.
They gave 'China Warriors' a one-star rating, by the way.
(Plus it's run by the old 'Mean Machines' people. Ah, the memories!)
Truuuueee in Europe we got Excite Bike just before Excite Truck, and Paper Mario just launched with Paper Mario 3 (whatever it's called) just around the corner.
I'd love a good few long-lasting VC games out for the rainy Summer days.
Hell, right now give me Metroid 1.

After about 2.5 weeks, I now have internet again!!! 
I bought SF2 Turbo, Actraiser, and Zelda 2. This is how out of sync I am with the rest of the world.

Anybody notice that little blurb when you open the Wii Shop Channel about gameplay videos. They tell you to open up the web browser and go to wii.nintendo.com! They should really just embed those in the store...
And after Paper Mario I have a mere 542 blocks... Um, Nintendo... USB Mass Storage or SD card support for the channels can come any day now...

Paper Mario is finally out?? This will be the first time I fire up my Wii in months!
LOL I know how you feel. I only just started playing mine again and the game I'm playing.... GC Paper Mario
Haven't been following this thread so a couple of questions.
1) Star Points.. Have these finally kicked in yet in Europe so I can download some games
2) Paper Mario is that USA only ? Did it even make Europe on the N64, I remember MarioRPG snes never did.
No, rumblings it could be happening soon though.
It came out for the VC in Europe on Friday.
Only 542 blocks left Applekid. That bites!!! But then again, it means you have way more games than I.
I would also like rumbling support.

I'm running out of space, and yes MRU. It's out here. I'm buying it when my family go on holiday next week.
Star Points will be happening soon, the new agreement on the stars makes it feel like the exchange feature is imminent. I emailed NoE and they just said "That should be operational soon". I hate soon. There's just no indication of when!

I was convinced it would have happened already! I'm going mad waiting!
It's such a good idea but the wait is awful.
God yeah, I'm willing to get loads of downloads, but dont want to fork out 10 each for them, when I have thousands of stars gathering dust.
WII-KLY UPDATE: THREE NEW CLASSIC GAMES ADDED TO WII SHOP CHANNEL
July 23, 2007
Ah, the three classic summer leisure activities: golf, pinball and battling hordes of evil creatures. Luckily, it's Monday and once again Nintendo has you covered. Players can hit the crazy links with the spherical Kirby, become a pinball wizard or just enjoy an afternoon of helping good triumph over evil. So pour yourself a tall glass of lemonade and settle in for some classic gaming fun.
Three new classic games go live at 9 a.m. Pacific time. Nintendo adds new games to the Wii Shop Channel every Monday. Wii owners with a high-speed Internet connection can redeem Wii Points to download the games. Wii Points can be purchased in the Wii Shop Channel or at retail outlets. This week's new games are:
Kirby's Dream Course (Super NES®, 1-2 players, Rated E for Everyone, 800 Wii Points): Step up to the tee for the wackiest golf game of your life. This one- or two-player game features a floating golf course in the sky. High above Dream Land, players can pitch and putt the ever-popular puff ball, Kirby, through a maze of three-dimensional obstacles on a zany checkerboard course. Players must aim for the multitude of enemies that are spread throughout each fairway. Kirby must hit all the enemies to make them disappear, and the last one becomes the hole. Sink Kirby into the hole to advance to the next stage and clear all 8 courses 64 holes in all.
Devil's Crush (TurboGrafx16, 1-2 players, Rated E for Everyone Animated Blood, Mild Fantasy Violence, 600 Wii Points): Devil's Crush is the exciting sequel to the hit pinball game Alien Crush and features even smoother ball movement and enhanced special effects. Shoot the ball onto the board with the Devil Shooter, then use flippers and nudging to keep it in play and rack up a high score. Complete certain conditions to play up to six different bonus stages. Get a "Perfect Clear" on those to earn a huge amount of points. The game's ominous theme is enhanced by its enemies: wandering skeleton knights, sorcerers and even a giant face that changes from a goddess to a sinister serpent.
Shining Force (Sega Genesis, 1 player, Rated E for Everyone Mild Fantasy Violence, 800 Wii Points): In ages long forgotten, Light fought Darkness for control of the world. Finally, the Ancients defeated the evil ruler of the dark forces known as Dark Dragon and cast him into another dimension, though he vowed to return in 1,000 years. As time passed, all memory of Dark Dragon was buried, and the land of Rune enjoyed 10 centuries of peace. Yet, as promised, the dark ruler returned, along with hordes of evil creatures that ravaged the land. As chaos erupted, several strongholds of Good still held out, awaiting a hero who could wield the Powers of Light.
The list of downloadable games is updated weekly on Nintendo's Online Press Room at press.nintendo.com. For more information about Wii, please visit wii.com.
