FFIV was the 2nd in the US, not the first.

It'd better require the motionplus.

I've played both and I like virtua tennis better.

This game was a bit more of a challenge than that push over Mario 64, which I'm glad for. Getting 100% in this game took a lot more time/skill/luck.

I'd give it a 9.

A kite is considered a good gift?? Wow.

Perfect Dark was always better than Goldeneye. People who disagree tend to have never tried Perfect Dark's multiplayer.

This is Awesome news! I can't wait.

Perfect Dark was one of my all time favorite games.

wow the hatred by all the pokemon fans. Relax guys, its probably number 11 or something.

The only game I'm surprised about not seeing is Dr. Mario. An amazing puzzle game made better by being portable.

I would definitely buy famicom wars, if it ever came over here.

@ Terranigma, so your saying the hate is from the price?? Weird.
People can just not buy them. I mean, I recently jumped onto the series and picked up Guitar Hero 2, 3 and Aerosmith plus 2 guitars, All Brand New, for a little over $45.

"With past ‘hardcore’ failures like No More Heroes, House of Dead: Overkill and (more recently) Madworld."

haha, what? If these games are failures, then I don't want to know what success looks like. What are they wanting Wii Play numbers??

Woot, for Van Halen!

I don't see why there is so much hate for this series on this site. Only place I've ever seen that. It's a pretty decent game.

@ Kittsy, c'mon it's a Kirby game, what kind of difficulty do you want? For a Kirby game, this one I believe has the highest difficult (which isn't saying much).

It will continue to sell over time. What's the big rush to 200,000? It is still too new, I know I am not going to pay full price for a brand new game. This article needs to be made in like 6 months (not a month after release) to actually give a true picture if it is a success or not.

12 is still a lot imo. It really all depends upon map sizes.

Well, the only direction they can do is Up. Can't get much worse than last year.

If id doesn't want to develop for the wii, that is there own business, however it should be noted that their previous hits are already hugely popular on the homebrew scene.
Doom and Quake are already available on the wii via the homebrew channel. Using the wiimote/nunchuck control scheme is a very natural fit.

3 Game & Watch games?? C'mon, a DS cart can easily hold all 59. Easily. Rating this a 6/10 is extremely generous.

Its going to be great when Nintendo actually puts something really good up for 800 coins, and people won't be able to afford it because they spent their coins on this.

Nintendo is not making as much profits as you guys are thinking. The Yen is a much stronger than the weak American dollar. From the launch in December 2006 to December 2008, the value of the pound fell by 43 percent against the yen, and, in the same period of time, the U.S. dollar and euro fell against the British pound 22 and 18 percent, respectively. In other words, while Nintendo is keeping their console steady at $250 they have actually been making less money thanks to US inflation.

The 64 was an excellent console for its time, the problem is that a lot of its games have not aged well at all. Take for instance Goldeneye and Mario Kart, everybody loved these two games. However playing them today is not the same, they are completely bland. (IMO Goldeneye died as soon as Perfect Dark was release way back in 2000).
