I have just finished Metroid Prime with 73%, and I've got to say that there are some enemies on that game which I can't find! I lost a bundle of scans, I got all Pirate Data and Chozo Lore though. I wanted to see how Samus look like, but I can't get 100% without a walkthrough, I'll try one later.

Now it's time for me to Sail through the Great Sea on Wind Waker, last time I played it I managed to get all charts and most heart pieces but my stupid memory card lost all data. Now I'll do everything over again, and this time I'll also try to complete the Nintendo Gallery, I'll need a lot of patience to do that, since you can only get one statue per day but I'll try anyway.

Playing some NGC games again is good since I don't get crazy waiting for my Wii, I also have got plenty of things to do, such as work and study.

Did any of you guys complete the Nintendo Gallery? Do you know what you get for doing that? What do you think about Wind Waker?

The news have already spread through the internet but I feel like talking about it!

Mario and Sonic will pair up on a game based on the Olympic Games!! It seems like both Sonic and Mario Teams will compete on a huge array of sports to discover who is the best. I've been waiting for this moment since I was a kid, well I think all of us were.

The game is bound to be released by Christmas, until there lots of information will be revealed, so let's wait patiently.

I've been playing Metroid Prime lately and I'm almost finishing it once again, today I got all 12 artifacts and I'm ready to enter the Impact Crater to face Meta Ridley and Metroid Prime, I have completed 71% of the game and I haven't died even once which I think is quite a remarkable accomplishment, tomorrow I'll put an end to the Pirate's scheme, I hope I can get pass both bosses without getting destroyed.

I'll let you guys know if I did it as soon as possible. After I'm done with Metroid I'll start replaying another NGC game, I still don't know which one.

Since I'm getting a Wii within a month I decided to prepare a list of the games I intend to buy as soon as possible. Unfortunately it looks that I'm going to have to pay $550 to get the Wii, it's a lot of money but if I don't buy it for that price I'll have to wait much longer. So here we go:

Wii Sports

The obvious pick, it comes with the Wii so I won't have to buy it. I'm aware that this game is basically just a demo of the Wii controls but I'm really excited to play it and customize a Mii.

Rayman Raving Rabbids

The Wii is bound to be a system full of interesting party games and the first of them is Rayman Raving Rabbids, those crazy rabbids screaming are so funny that buying the game is a must.

Wario Ware : Smooth Moves

Here is the game I'm more excited about. I've always been a fan of the series since the first game which in my opinion was by far the best, but Smooth Moves seems even better. Crazy mini-games using the Wii's motion-sensors are perfect.

SSX Blur

I haven't played many SSX games, actually the only one I spent a lot of time was SSX Tricky for the NGC and I loved it, and what really makes me into this game is that Tricky is often very criticized. So if Tricky wasn't that good this series must be wonderful.

Super Paper Mario

This one is yet to be released but from what I've read on many previews on the internet I'm pretty confident to state that it is going to be one of the best Wii games ever, mixing RPG with old-school platform it's a bright idea that only Nintendo is capable of making it come true.

Mario Party 8

It's no secret to anyone that I'm a huge Mario Party fan, although I constantly hear people say that the series has just got worse in the past years, I kept buying the games and having lots of fun. Mario Party 8 will be remarkable because it will please people that have always supported the series and will also make old fans play it again, because based on the information we have so far, major changes will be made.

I didn't mentioned Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Super Mario Galaxy and Super Smash Bros. Brawl because word has it some of them may not be launched this year, and until Big N says something we won't know. I'm also wondering whether I should get Trauma Center or not.

10 days left for the beginning of a new MLB season, all teams seem prepared to give us thrilling games and hopefully many Home-Runs!

Both Red Sox and Yankees have improved their bullpens, which in my opinion were their biggest problem. During Spring Training the teams that are doing better so far are the Diamondbacks, Reds, Rangers, Dodgers, Astros, Braves and Indians, but as we all know it doesn't mean much as during the Regular Season many of those teams will have serious problems and won't be able to keep a good winning pace.

 As a Yankee fan I'm quite happy about the changes that have been made and I hope we can get back to the World Series this year, even if the team winds up losing it I'll be happy because on the last seasons they weren't able to get there.

The biggest polemic this year is about Barry Bonds going for the HR record, I think that he will easily break it, but it won't be a remarkable feat.

I want to know your favorite team and players, and who Do you think will win it all this year?

My friend has just lent me Harry Potter III(I forgot the name) and The Urbz for the GC so I've been playing those games together with Metroid Prime whenever I have some time to do it.

Today after playing Donkey Konga for a while I decided to start playing Majora's Mask all over again and try to get all Heart Pieces which in this game are quite hard to find.

Well, unfortunately I couldn't get the game to work!! After more then 30 attempts I decided to try another game, so I picked Conker's Bad Fur Day, a game that I had played a few weeks ago, therefore it had to work!

Surprisingly it didn't work as well, so now I'm kind of desperate. Although I know most of the games I own at the N64 will probably be released for the VC, but there are some other classics that I may never play again if I can't fix my N64, like Banjo Tooie, Banjo-Kazooie and Conker's Bad Fur Day.

So I decided that I would try again after a few days and hope that there isn't anything wrong with it, if it keeps that way I guess I will have either to fix it or to buy a new one.

By the way, I also got Rayman 3 probably my last GC game before I get the Wii, I also want to get Mario Party 5 and Viewtiful Joe but I'll get them after I play my Wii.

I got Donkey Konga for my GameCube two days ago and I only had time to post it today. It is a great game that presents quite a innovative gameplay, so far I can't stop playing it, it's very addictive. I want to get great scores for all the songs and every time I fail I just keep trying until I do it!

Although the presentation of the game is quite simple it doesn't actually matter as you don't have time to look at the graphics while all those notes just appear on your screen. The best songs are the game related ones such as Zelda Theme, Pokémon Theme and Super Mario Bros, I wish they had put a few more game themes like some Donkey Kong Country songs.

During the last days I read two interesting articles, one of them is Gamespot's "What can Sony do to make the Playstation 3 more attractive to gamers?" although I'm not a Playstation fan I read it and I must say that they gave some interesting suggestions such as diminishing the price and fixing some online features, I guess the only system that has completely succeeded when it comes to online games is the Xbox 360.

And IGN is publishing its list of the top 25 GameCube games of all time, I can't wait to see which games they picked, and how many games of my collection made it to the top. If you search more you can also find top 25 games for all last-gen systems including the GBA.

Finally I want to know from you if you've been having problems when watching Gamespot's videos lately, because here I couldn't watch any of their latest footage.

Yesterday I was reading something interesting about the Wii Channels at IGN.

Here is the text

Two guys talking about the Wii Interface. They had some interesting opinions such as saying that there isn't enough room for channels and VC games and that sooner or later many gamers will face these problems because every week Nintendo is releasing new games and they are all must-buy.

They also had some great ideas about how Nintendo should use some features of these channels. For example, they could use the calendar to show the launch date of some games.

I think it would be great if they added a Demo Channel, so we could download versions of some games that we are not sure if we should get them or not.

Do you guys have any complaints about the Channels? What Channels could Nintendo create? 

I guess you guys are already bored of listening to me say that I may have got someone to bring me a Wii from the U.S, that's great because so am I!:D

But unfortunately I've got to say it one more time. This person will return from the U.S by the end of March but I don't want to get too hyped about it this time otherwise I may end up disappointed, if my Wii doesn't come this time I will buy it here which means I'm going to spend $600 just to get a Wii and Wii Sports.

That's bad because I will be spending almost all the money I saved to buy my Wii and I won't have anything left to buy the games I want, more Wiimotes and other stuff.

And while I can't get my Wii I bought Rayman 3 for the GameCube and it will arrive in a few days, I hope it will be as good as Rayman 2 which was one of the best platformers of 5th generation.

I think we all agree that The Legend of Zelda has what can be considered one of the best soundtracks among all games that have ever been released, although some people think that Twilight Princess lacked orchestrated songs I thought its sound was perfect and as good as many next-gen games out there.

So, I was browsing on the internet looking for interesting sites with soundtracks and I discovered one that had Reorchestrated Zelda songs, from The Legend of Zelda(NES) to the most recent installment which is Twilight Princess. All songs are really nice and I enjoyed the site a lot, however I haven't heard all songs yet.

Zelda Reorchestrated

Hope you guys like it!

The next subject of my post is that I won't be able to post, comment on your blogs and be active on Gamespot for the next months, I'll try to come once a day but I can't promisse that, because I have a course to prepare me for my SAT exams during the morning(I don't know if you have this kind of course in other countries), during the afternoon I'm working and at night I'm at my english course, so all days of my week are pretty busy.

See you guys soon!!

Well my friends I haven't posted for a while because Carnival was very tiring and  I was still recovering from it so I didn't have enough time to even think about games. Yesterday after I logged in Gamespot for the first time in 4 days the first thing I read was "Nintendo officially pulls plug on GameCube?".

I think it was already time for they to do that because so far the Wii is being really successful so they need to give it full support.

Differently from many people I do think the GameCube was a great system, it didn't produced the same amount of classics as the N64 did, but it improved when it comes to good RPGs which was a genre that the N64 really had problems with.

So far I've spent 4 years and 5 months with my NGC and I bought 26 games, I don't think I'll get more of them as I'm saving for my Wii, I guess I'll still play it for much longer.

I was trying to start Ocarina of Time over again yesterday but I couldn't because the game doesn't save, that's sad because Ocarina is the best game I own, I guess I'll have to fix it somehow before I can enjoy it.
