But first, my gaming setup

This is an older pic of my gaming area, so here's a newer one I took...

As you can see, it is more of a mess right now

Now a look inside the stand....

Some Wii and DS games along with me GameXpert Wiimote charge station (which is crap).

Now a look at the right hand side...

My GameCube Controller and GameCube games in the back, along with the Wii Zapper shell naked

And now, the moment Cj has been waiting for (), Mii:

Do I look like my Mii or what?

Later ya'll

I was hoking around in my room and stumbled upon something awesome, Melee Battle Cards! It seems that I got them free with an issue of NOM (One of the UK's Nintendo magazines that was replaced by ONM). So for you benefit, I took some photos...

The back of each card.

A card of every character and stage in the game was included:

As you can see, this added up to a lot of cards

Each picture of the characters and stages were taken straight out of the game.

Every character had his/her name wrote on the top, and 3 of their attacks, a brief discription of the character was also written at the bottom.

Here you can see the bottom of Fox's card. It's hard to read, so I'll tell you what it says:

Attacks
1. Reflector (DOWN)
2. Fire Fox (UP)
3. Fox Illusion (LEFT/RIGHT)

From his Arwing, Fox leads the pursuit of the evil scientist Andross, who doomed Fox's Father.

I apologize for the blurriness of this picture, but this is a card of the Mute City stage. At the bottom of the stage cards it tells you the outcome of the match, for example, at the bottom of this card it says:

"If either player had the Captain Falcon card, they automatically win this round."

So there you have it, these cards are a welcome addition to my Nintendo collection and I am glad to have stumbled upon them If you guys have any questions about the cards then I will be willing to answer them

I might post some pics of my gaming set-up later on, and I might even have some pics of Mii up later

School is ending soon and we will all be getting some free time over the summer (most of us anyway). So now that Mario Kart Wii has arrived in Europe, what else have we to look forward too?

Well, actually, summer is looking pretty good. First up, Wii Fit has just been released which could prove fun to play with the whole concept of the Balance Board, this week tough, you could direct your attention to Steven Spielberg's Boom Blox. It is, as all good puzzlers should be, very addictive and despite Spielberg making worrying noises about creating a game that he could play with his kids, it can get quite tough. (From what I've heard anyway).

Also released this week is Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, I haven't been a big fan of the Phoenix Wright series, but I have had my fair share and this title looks to be shaping up very nicely.

You also can't forget about Wiiware coming May 20th with titles like Lost Winds, My Life as a King and Dr.Mario looking superb and only costing around £10, it's a deal not to be missed.

That's May dealt with but June should be even better. Obviously you all know that Smash Bros. is here on 27 June but it's not the only game that's worth looking out for. Tennis gets some light shed with Top Spin 3, the first serious tennis game on Wii launching. There's also Lego Indiana Jones which is looking like it will be a lot of fun (Lego Star Wars has been, so if Lego Indy follows in it's steps then we have a very good game on our hands).

Okami hasn't got a confirmed date, but it should be heading to Europe in June, so if you missed out on the excellent PS2 title (like myself), you should definitely consider picking this up.

Also on the way in June is Alone In The Dark and seeing as we haven't had any exciting survival horror action on Wii since Resident Evil 4 (which was a remake of a GameCube game) I hope to be take a walk around Central Park this summer.

There is a bunch of titles I haven't spoke about like Guitar Hero: On Tour, Ferrari Challenge, FFIV and more!

So that little lot should keep me busy. How about you? What will you be playing this summer?

Clas(s)ic Japanese and American games never released in Europe come to the Virtual Console courtesy of SEGA and Hudson Soft!

Right now you can pick up Gradius II (Turbografx), Columns III (Sega Mega Drive) and Final Soldier (Turbografx). Soon we will be able to download titles such as Star Parodier, Digital Champ, Cho Aniki and Break In for the Turbografx, and Puyo Puyo 2 and Gley Lancer on the Sega Mega Drive. Whether or not these are all the titles we will be seing over the next few weeks I'm not sure.

All of these titles will stay on the Virtual Console for download later on much like the last Hanabi Festival (except for the limited-edition Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels.)

Nintendo also hint that Hanabi will return in the future....

So what SEGA and Hudson titles never before released in Europe would you like to see in the coming weeks?
