Absolutely loved Rogue Squadron on the N64. Presumably its the exact same game (with better graphics??) on the GC? Absolute cracker of a game. Spent so many hours on it, an was only a moderate Star Wars fan. Only got into it big later on, and I'd say that game helped me transition into Star Wars fan, from a "casual".
BTW, I've about 5200 stars and a Wii U and New 3DS. Any recommendations from the Nintendo Club? The only thing I want is the Pikmin ringtones!!
The GC game is quite different, at least visually.
In fact, at best, it feels like you are in the midst of the movies themselves.
You'd imagine when it departs from the movie plus and heads off on its own that it might become not as interesting but not so, they did a great job, with Rogue Leader anyway.
Rebel Strike, Rogue Squadron 3, has awful on foot sections.
They don't look bad but they are fundamentally broken.
However, if you can suffer them, the rest of the game is fantastic, especially the aforementioned Speeder Bike scene and the ATST piloting.
If you like them you should really pick up the XWing and Tie Fighter games on the PC, and then find Secret Weapons over Normandy, that's by the same developer, on the Xbox, PC and PS2.0 -
Rebel strike included split screen 2 player versions of the best levels in Rogue Leader too, I think - never managed to bag a copy. RL was worth the price for the opening deathstar assault level. At the time at least it was as close to photorealistic as I'd ever seen in a game on any platform. There was a gorgeous nebula level and a fleet defense early on too. Probably looks like a wookies arse now though

Rogue Leader still looks great.
The movie cinemas were the first time Star Wars footage was available in digital form, AFAIK.
The off canon levels are still good, as I said before.
Rebel Strike is just ruined by the on foot stuff, the vehicular bits are completely brilliant.0 -

Project Cars £35 on all consoles from Gameseek (£20 on PC). 17th of May for the Wii U , and 8th of May for all others.
Is anyone planning on buying this for the Wii U, or just PS4/Xbone/PC?
I remember hearing a long long time ago, that the Wii U version would use the Gamepad, and it will most likely come with all/most of the DLC on disc. I will be getting it on the Wii U, even if I get in on another.
Mario Kart Super Circuit is coming to Wii U this week

Super Circuit on the WiiU!
That's both of my favourite Mario Kart games on the one console!
A must have!
Although....
I have a Gameboy Player and the Retron 5 so I can already play my own copy of the game on both CRT and the Plasma....
Hmmm, what was once clear is now unclear....
If you don't get it, you won't have it on the Wii U...
I'm looking forward to it. Some of the courses are HD? Some, not so much. But Still.....
This weeks eShop downloads are still not available..
I've all sorts of conspiracy stuff going on in my head..
I am still without Wii U, and also without TV for nearly 3 weeks... I'm just short of cracking up.
I've given up hoping that it'll end soon...0 -

Nobody can make that decision but you really! Look at the available games and what you want to play, that'll tell you if it'll be worthwhile. It's my favourite console since the SNES, there are a lot of amazing games out there for it.
Would you buy one at this stage personally if the NX is coming 2016?
I'll most likely pick up the NX regardless. I just don't want to spend that money for a system that has just a little over 12 months left in it particularly if I have to fork out another 400 euro for the NX.

probably 2017, if itawa's not going to be talking about it until 2016.
If it's got the games you're interested in, then what does it matter if there's a new console with different games for it coming in a year or two?
You seem to want some of the games that are already out.0
