Ben 10 (Wii)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Nintendo Wii
from: D3 Publisher

November 30, 2007
This is easy enough for an adult to play with their kid but just hard enough to keep the interest. My son is 4 and he absolutely loves it. He can use all of the controls and access special powers with ease. Most games are far too hard for very young children but this is just about perfect. This game is for anybody who has a kid that loves Ben 10 and wants to play video games.

Battalion Wars II (Wii)

The problem is originality often doesn't go down well. Bw2 is an original type of game, as is zack and wiki. These are both games that maybe you might not have heard of, but let me assure you they are both great.

Bw2 is a brilliant example of 3rd person shooters, and whilst it claims to be a strategy game, i ofnd there is verey little strategy involved, which just makes it that much better, would highly recommend piking it up 2nd hand, 16 pounds is a bargain for such a fantastic game!

Nintendo Official Component Video Cable (Wii)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Nintendo Wii
from: Nintendo

December 08, 2006
I've only recently got hold of a Wii, and for a little while I've been playing games using the bog standard component / scart adaptor cable that comes with it on my HD (up to 1080p) TV. I guess I'm at a disadvantage to begin with, because seemingly anything that's not 720i/p or 1080i/p looks blurry and terrible on my TV (due to it being LCD).

After getting hold of this cable I noticed a substantial difference. The cable itself is usefully long at two and a half metres and only requires a simple change in the Wii settings to output using 480p. On my TV, things are still a little blurry but overall it's a much more comfortable and viable experience. I feel that I can actually properly play games on it now :)

Although I didn't expect ... Read More:

GameCube Controller (Wii)

from: Venom

In the process of sending this back to amazon due to the 'Turbo' Button remaining on and the d-pad not responding when pressing left (well, if you press really hard it works 80% of the time).

Ive since got hold of a second hand nintendo gc controller from gamestation for £9.97 (reduced from £13 - a joke that gamecube stuff is still so expensive). I wasnt surpised cos third party pads tend to be rubbish anyway!

The turbo button is really handy thou for star fox 64 on wii - but obvioulsyoy ,u dont want this function on all the time.

I would give it three stars as overall, if you cant get hold of a nin pad its worth getting - im sure you can get it replaced if you find the same problem.

Battle of the Bands (Wii)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Nintendo Wii
from: THQ

May 23, 2008
This game is a great game to play with a friend. The controls are really intuitive, even my mum has had a go. There are levels to suit all abilities. All you need to be able to do is swing your arms from side to side and down, and give the occasional punch. When choosing who to play (which band), you get to choose between different genres of music, such as rock, hip hop, country, latin and marching band. Depending on who is doing the best in that section, the corresponding band plays. There are face off sections where you get to 'attack' your opponent, but there are also chances to attack during the beat sequences, using powerups. This game is so competitive!

I have not progressed as far in the 'adventure' single player mode. As I find it much ... Read More:

Logic3 Wii Gun (Wii)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Nintendo Wii
from: LOGIC3

November 15, 2007
Having recently received a wii for my birthday with the legendary house of the dead I felt to get the most out of the game a gun needed to be purchased.

Contrary to 95% of prior reviews slating it I felt a company such as logic couldn't possible get it that wrong. My thoughts were confirmed instantly. Everything works perfectly the remotes fit perfectly and at a bargain price with no terrible games thrown this is a steal.

Frankly anyone wanting the arcade experience out of a shoot em up NEEDS to own this gun the realistic noise adds 100% to the arcade feel and if its too noisy for you frankly what are you doing playing arcade shoot em ups???

4Gamers Component HD Audio Video Cable (Wii)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Nintendo Wii
from: 4Gamers

I'm lucky enough to own an HD TV, and had been using the standard cables that come with the Wii, so figured the picture quality could be a lot better. Read a few of the reviews on here and decided to go for it as it's a relatively cheap cable.

However, upon switching from the standard cables, I found that this made no difference at all (and I did set the Wii to run on HD too!). Tried it with both Zelda and Wario Ware with no notable difference, and in fact the picture was slightly worse because the new cable added 'snow' to the screen.

Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz (Wii)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Nintendo Wii
from: Sega

December 08, 2006
Super Monkey Ball : Banana Blitz comprises two very different modes. The single player game, much like Marble Madness and true to it's GameCube heritage, and the new multi-player party games, which attempt to capture the spirit of Wii Sports in providing quick and simple gameplay for all the family.

Despite offering around 60 unique party games, the multi-player modes left much to be desired. Between myself and a few friends, we managed to find just two games with any kind of appeal (namely the Sheep Herding and Alien Abduction). The rest seemed crude or uninspired. A few were tedious to control correctly, or seemed broken and unintelligible, like the Simon Says mini-game. The efforts between those two extremes appeared to work and were easy enough to follow, ... Read More:
