Arrived the other day, courtesy of SR, and it's dinky. I got the cool black one, and every time I open up a case I go "Argh, where's the disc?! Oh, wait, there it is."
Been playing Mario Kart DD, which is far better than the reviews let on. I'd played it at my mate's when he borrowed it from someone else, but now I've had a real go at it and it's great.
Legends of Wrestling 2 - an updated version of Attitude, really, but not as terrible as you might think. In fact, it's quite decent. Obviously nowhere near the genius that is No Mercy.
Turok - Made me laugh. Terrible.
Rebel Strike - Crashed once, which made me cry. Decent, but the walky/runny bits are laughable - they shouldn't have bothered.
I now own all three next gen consoles, which makes me a proud monkey. Can't say there are ANY upcoming games for any of them that I'm particulary looking forward to, but that's probably because I'm still a PC gamer at heart. Hurrah for Nintendo... and stuff.

MoJo.

You'll love it. Seriously.

I too was surprised by just how good Mario Kart DD was. After reading the reviews in Edge and somewhere else I wasn't expecting much but it is rather excellent.
It's a very good game.
Mario Party 5 is also very good.
Under-rated.
They are gaming fun. That's the point!

MK:DD is the best Mario Kart...
NGC have it spot on.
