2000 Wii Points Card (Wii)
Wii Points Card for downloading extra features and content, including the greatest games from the NES, Super NES, N64, Sega Megadrive and NEC TurboGrafx video game consoles. Using the card is as easy as entering a Wii Points Card code at a Wii onscreen menu.

Customer Review: Essential for those classic titles. Do not pay more than ?15 maximum for it though…
This little card will enable you to download all those classic titles fom the original Nes console all the way up to the N64, lest me not forgetting the mega drive and Turbographx titles. If you prefer not to use this card you can use a debit or credit card for the same price. (Except paying by card on the wii you can buy the points in smaller or larger chunks, 1000, 2000 or even 5000). It works out 70p per 100 points providing you pay ?15 for the card or over the wii itself with a debit/credit card.

Here are the prices:

Nes: 500 points

Snes: 800 points

N64: 1000 points

Turbographix: 600-800 for more advanced titles

Mega drive: 800 points

With more consoles soon to be added, stay tuned.

Please bear in mind to use the wii shopping service you will require a broadband connection.

Customer Review: Great feature, read on save ?1.
If you buy two sets of 1000points using the wii interface you’ll get it for ?14. So you save a pound.

Wii points are great, slightly overpriced which is rumoured to go down by 60% by 2008(source wii forums). You can download virtual games or Wii content. I am not going to repeat what the other reviewers have said because I’ll bore you.

Is it worth saving a pound? If you want a replacement case then no, if you want. If you want to get points INSTANTLY, then yes! Or if you don’t mind if you don’t get it instantly and want to save ?1.01 then go to Woolworths(?13.98).

Remote and Nunchuk Protector Kit - Pink (Wii)
List Price: ?7.99
Amazon Price: ?7.99
Customer Review: Best Deal & Quality around
I only buy licensed products so when I stumbled across this I was quite excited! I bought one in pink (for me) and one in blue (for the other half). No more arguing about which remote belongs to who! This brand comes with a skin for the nunchuck AND the wii remote. The other licenced skins for sale on this site do not come with a cover for the nunchuck, and cost the same as this one practically. It fits very well. No gaps, no bigger / smaller than required holes. Helps the remotes to stay in your hand, and made from a very soft and pliable silicone. It’s great. Get one!

Trauma Center: Second Opinion (Wii)
In a nutshell:
Now everyone can be a brain surgeon as you pick up scalpel and forceps to battle the full horrors of an infected intestine, medical terrorism and angry anime nurses!

The lowdown:
The original Trauma Center is already one of the most original and fun games on the Nintendo DS but although this is largely just a remake of that game it’s more than welcome on the Wii. As accurate a simulation of real medicine as Phoenix Wright is of law (i.e. not very much) you’ll nevertheless have great fun repairing hapless patients with ailments that start of as simple tumours to bizarre fights against evil terrorist nanobots. What really makes the game though is the simple intuitiveness of the controls, with the precise movement of your scalpel being one of the best endorsements of the Wii Remote’s accuracy. The game’s no push over though and you’ll need to employ the mysterious bullet time style “healing touch” to make sure you don’t end up the Doctor Death of Hope Hospital.

Most exciting moment:
Although the game is a remake of the DS it does include several new missions, an extra playable character, new operation types and new surgical tools - including a defibrillator which demands a shout of “clear!” every time you use it.

Since you ask:
A surgery game was one of the first styles of games hinted at in an introductory video for the Wii, which also showed people appearing to play games involving fishing, cooking and playing the drums - amongst other non-typical games concepts.

The bottom line:
Major surgery has never been so much fun as the Wii and DS line-up combine.-HARRISON DENT

Customer Review: Great fun if you used to like Operation
I bought this for my retired mum and all the family have now played it and loved it. Basically the screen shows the part of a patient’s body that needs operating on it. You use the nunchuk to select various tools (eg forceps, scalpel, bandages, suture thread, laser, ultrasound scanner, syringe, disinfectant, and other tools) and then use the main wiimote pointer to use each tool to extract foreign bodies, cut, and so on). It requires a deft touch just like Operation and there’s a bit of pressure as you have to work against the clock so that the patient doesn’t die on you from having their innards exposed to the world! Great fun but I only gave it 4 stars (not five) because of two small gripes. One - the game isn’t that long. If you play loads of games and tend to finish them quite quickly, this one will probably only last you a half-dozen hours. But it is great fun in the meantime and we had great fun watching each other operate as a family! Two - there are some slightly annoying cutaway scenes. The programmers have tried to create a story around the operation and I found myself pressing the ‘A’ button on the wiimote repeatedly to hurry them along. But overall still great fun and decent value.
Customer Review: very differant
it is a good game to start off with but it is one of those games that you either love it because it is so differant or hate because it is a bit fiddally. But if you have good steddy hand and want to challenge yourself buy this game

Customer Review: Cackdown 2008
Remembering the joy I had playing the PS2 version while staying at a friend’s house I snapped this up thinking that it would be exactly the same but with some cool motion sensor action to boot. How wrong can one person be? It must have at least 60% of the (24.99) PS2 version hacked out of it, no main events, crap season mode, and worst of all a god awful control system! most of the game play is basically automatic and just involves swinging the Wiimote in any direction with no real control over the wrestler, most of the wrestlers have the same moves apart from their finishers, it’s like going back to the days of Royal Rumble on the SNES! This game could have been great but THQ have seemed to go for the “casual gamer” multi play game effect. I’m not sure why as the Wii already has that market sewn up with the “family games”. If you’ve played the other versions you can’t help feeling like you’ve been ripped off, especially when the Wii version is about ten quid more than the PS2 version! I just hope that THQ realise what they hae done and release a new Day of Reckoning game to make up for it. I’ve since taken “Cackdown 2008″ back and exchanged it for Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles. If you’re a die hard wrestling fan and have played the previous versions of Smackdown then avoid this like the plague!
