No. Not because I don't want them to, but because this is not a sound business decision... They just do not have the resources and 3rd party support to introduce a new hardware this late in the game... Unless SEGA can come up with something definitely revolutionary, which I highly doubt...

I've never thought to ask this, but who's servers does the game connect to? HVS' or Nintendo's?

I'm assuming MRW is very quick due to the fact of it connecting to Activision's?

It is my understanding that HVS is not big enough to have their own server farm - they are not EA... As such, The Conduit is either on an allotted Nintendo server share, or HVS are leasing server slots from some 3rd party backend provider... This is just my guess, so if anybody has a reliable info source confirming or disproving the above, please post :)

Have purchased it for Christmas, played for about 6 hours now... All in all, I do not understand why this game received such a bad rap... Granted, it was a bit overhiped, but the online is good (hackers aside), graphics for the characters are good, I'd say it's a pretty solid shooter for the Wii. It does have some shortcomings, like rather bland environments, awkward character animations, etc., but it hardly deserves the bashing it receives from "hardcore" crowd, IMHO...

Thanks for the link. I was wondering, do you need to log in to the website to download. I tried to do so, but I needed a username and password. Do you know what they are asking for?

No problem :) Actually, it's officially classified as "abandonware" now, or "copyleft" - you can absolutely legally download the DOS version from: http://www.abandonware-paradise.org/abandonware-english-Shufflepuck_Cafe-568-gamereview.html

Hey y'all. I was wondering whether I could inquire you fellow GS subscribers of your help. I'm looking foran old game that I always played on an old computer (can't remember what type of computer). It was an air puck game with an assortment of very, very weird characters you fought against. For instance, there was a punk-pig, a nerd, a robot, a psychic queen andan old guy that turns out to be two dwarves stacked on each other. Any help or suggestions are very much welcome. Thanks in advance.

Might have been "Shufflepuck cafe" - an ancient and obscure game for Amiga, Atari, etc...

Have a look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shufflepuck_Café

What kind of games? Platformers? Action/Adventure? Shooters? RPG? Racing? Survivor Horror? 1st Party? 3rd Party?

I would say start with Metroid 1 & 2 (Action/Adventure/FPS), Pikmin1 & 2(RTS)- those are must haves.

After that - take a look at my profile; I have over 60 games in my collection, most of the best ones released for GC.

Goblin Commander: Unleash the Horde I would consider a "classic" RTS... GC actually didn't have too many RTS developed for it :?... Army Men comes to mind as well...
