Little Big Planet demo (PS3)….I rented this before a while back but played very little of it. Graphics and presentation are through the roof, and it’s a decent platformer, but I can’t see myself investing a lot of time into this one.
Katamari something demo (PS3)….I dislike these games and after not playing one for a couple years, here was an immediate reminder. Deleto.
Street Fighter II (Wii VC)….I picked up a Wii classic controller pro today (import). I haven’t ever played much VC because (a) I was never comfortable with the original classic controller, (b) I don’t like the Wavebird’s d-pad, and (c) I bought a Nyko wireless “Wing” controller which I found to be unbelivably cheap and plasticky. Although IMO the pro is not a radical improvement over the original classic controller, I found it much more comfortable to hold and enjoyed a lenghty VC session. Really, it’s pretty much the same controller with handles and better shoulder buttons. Snap on handles for $5 probably would have done just as well (I paid $30 for the controller). You still have to plug it into the Wiimote. Worst of all, the thing has a glossy finish and is already covered in fingerprints. The current obsession for glossy electronics has me flummoxed. Still, as they say, “the play’s the thing”, and I found the VC experience much more tolerable with the new controller.
Star Fox 64 (Wii VC)….this game looks amazing in 480p. Couldn’t they have come up with a better controller scheme for this? Why are there only 16 N64 games on VC?
