I'm pretty sure this whole thing is just for Mike's amusement.
Not amusement at all - thought at times, it has been amusing and I always am a big fan of Irixith's commentary.

There is truth that this is an excercise that I will take advantage of - I wanted to know which Wii games I missed out on or overlooked...and this has been super fruitfall.

I've bought a few titles I knew nothing about; and rebought games I'd gotten rid of based on poor first impression.

In the past week i've gotten in Ghost Squad (never heard of), Excitebots (heard of, I think, but I thought it was people mispronouncing ExciteTruck), and Sonic Colors (rebuy).

I plan to get RE 4, Endless Ocean (both), Pandora's Tower (rebuy), and Trauma Team (never heard of).

I'm hopeful others benefitted too and while not a perfect list - I think it's a pretty good / searchable reference for others.
Sames. I bought Endless Ocean: Blue World (first for me) and Red Steel 2 (a rebuy) today at GameStop. Because of this thread.

Hahaha... glad I'm not the only one who leaves the thread with an expanded list of games I'm looking to pick up while they are still available.

Can anyone comment on whether Batman: The Brave and the Bold is worth owning? Can't recall that getting discussion for best 30 (probably for good reason) but it's long been on my "maybe" list and I still can't make up my mind.

I am playing that now, and if you like campy-style Batman I'd say it is worth getting. The gameplay is so-so, but the humor and visuals are well done.

Brave and the bold is fun but shows you everything it has to offer in its first ten minutes.

Thank you both!

I'm not expecting much from the game, so shortcomings are noted but won't prevent me from buying. Campy Batman fun with decent artwork is enough to sell me on the game, and co-op sessions should help get past mediocre gameplay.

Will try to grab a copy while they are still easy/cheap to find locally.

I beat that one co-op on Wii myself a few years ago. It was 7/10 territory. Not WayForward's best and a lot is lost on you if you don't watch the show. That said, it's a half decent mix up of platforming and beat 'em up. Solid 2D art and animation overall too.
PLAY KING'S FIELD.

It's based on a show?
