No, really. £30 for a lump of plastic that has suddenly broken down.

Tried new batteries. Nothing.
Tried different frequency links. Nothing.
Tried it in different controller slot. Nothing.

The connection between my Wavebird and the infa-red adaptor is dead. Controller still goes on, but the adaptor doesn't.

And for no good reason.

So I'll be taking that back tomorrow then - first Nintendo product I've ever had something wrong with. Bah.

Whoever was talking about console crashes...
My SNES did and still does crash on me, as does my N64 and my GC has crashed on me a few times while playing THPS3, Doshin, Wave Race, Smash Bros and even Mario Sunshine.

Personal opinion so don't get you knickers in a twist, but Pikmin is was and will continue to be crap. Doshin was fun for about 10 hours then got repetetive.

I have to complete or basically complete a game now...

EXTENSIVE PLAY TEST... is what I like to call it.

Nope. You don't have to.

As I said, I've written many reviews without even playing the game.

Stopped doing that now, however.

Yes, but he must have at least used on to do a good review...

I always win Gameaday for games I haven't got/even played.

Well, not always. Most of the time.

I can remember Pikmin being an exception... and there are probably a few more. But I can't remember them. So I'll call it one out of 19. :-D

An incredible skill.

I won 2 GAD's for games that weren't out for another 2 months...

Though I did play them.
