This may be the most irrelevant post that we've ever made here on HEXUS.gaming, but Nintendo would like the world to know that the plural of 'Wii' is 'Wii'.

So, now we've got that out of the way, slightly more interesting is the fact that the first full reviews of Wii titles are starting to trickle in and UK magazine NGamer have given both Red Steel and Super Monkey Ball Adventure extremely high scores in their latest issue.

Ubisoft's Red Steel received a score of 90% whereas Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz received 84%. NGamer do have a reputation for their unbiased reviews, despite being an official Nintendo magazine, but we seem to remember the same sort of scores being banded about for some of the Xbox 360 launch titles from the Xbox 360 magazine so we're taking these with a pinch of salt until we've played the full games ourselves.

Nevertheless, the same sort of review scores seem to be echoed amongst those sites and magazines who have played the full titles, so the hype could indeed be true. Luckily it's not long before we find out; we'll be playing on our Wii and bringing you our own definitive verdict on the console and its games later this week... if we can ever get Nick off the bloody Baseball...

Cant wait to see what Hexus say about the Wii
OOhhhh - Waits impatiently…………………I've ordered red steel, best get down to WHS and have a look at that review :)
Damnit i honestly thought (from the headline) that the queen had pre-ordered some..
Is NGamer an official Nintendo magazine? ‘Cause there’s already another official nintendo magazine out there :confused:

Anyway, looks like I'll definitely be getting Red Steel.

No, it's not an official mag. Personally I've seen Red Steel and think it's way over-hyped, although Nick liked it.

I'm sticking with the fun games rather than the action games, I just don't think they cut it (although others may disagree).
