For anyone freaking out about the price, keep in mind that Japanese prices are typically way higher than US prices. While it clocks in at $300 USD after conversion, a more likely number is ~$200 USD.

Glad to hear you enjoyed it Caliban!
For ease of use, we just tossed it in the Wii, and used the Gecko Loader from the Homebrew Channel. Prior to the Wii's release, I needed to use the Action Replay and swap the disc.
Thanks for tuning in everyone, it was fun!
Yeah this was a really cool game. I didn't play it this year at E3, but the year before, and I enjoyed it greatly then.
This Wii Remote Plus is the right idea, I'm glad that Nintendo finally made one. It seemed like an obvious direction from the beginning, and I wonder what the reasoning behind waiting till now was to actually make it.
I'll echo both Jason's and Chessa's sentiments here. Quite honestly, Scott Pilgrim was a bit of a disappointment, if only because it fell flat in a couple regards.
The various stats are convoluted by the arbitrary leveling system that could've handled both adding moves to the roster and improving stats. As it stands, players have to hoard all of their money just to make themselves legitimately stronger and better defended.
Far and away my biggest complaint are the controls. Moving slow (prior to upgrades) is too slow and fast is too fast. This is made evident when trying to revive a downed player. Zeroing in on the right location to start healing them is far tougher than it should be because movement is so clunky.
I'd actually like to see them make a sequel, regardless of how little sense it makes, just to perfect the groundwork laid here.
I never got to check out the original version of this, but I was pretty interested in it at the time of its release. I did hear that it had some problems, so hopefully they will be addressed here.
Yeah looks kinda cool, I'm definitely interested to see how it turns out.
Be sure to vote in the poll to your left to decide what we'll play first!
I'm excited to give this one a shot, especially after hearing Ches gush over it for the past week or so. I still have to play the second one, but eventually I'll get around to the both of them.
