First-ever Wii reviews out

Just when it was starting to look like a slow news day, gaminggeek on the GameSpot forums came through with some interesting news. It seems the British magazine NGamer reviewed a whole lot of DS and GameCube games, AND two Wii games in their latest issue. Red Steel and Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz were the two Wii titles reviewed, with Red Steel scoring a high 90% and Banana Blitz following close behind with 84%. Here's what NGamer had to say about the games:

Red Steel: "This is an important title. So many launch titles falsely claim to be 'pick up and play'. Newcomers can pick up and 'do', certainly, but this offers a proper playing experience. If you want to see what your Wii can really do, Red Steel is a slice above the rest." "Not only making excellent use of the Wii's controllers, this is huge fun in its own right. For a launch title to get so much right is an indicator of great things to come." Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz: "A proper return to form for the monkeys and a party game showcase that deserves to be on everyone's Wii launch shopping list. Impressively solid, hugely entertaining." "And that's what it's all about. Banana Blitz delivers a riotous amount of fun and proves Wii really is something special."

Does this mean Ubisoft managed to fix the control issues with Red Steel?
