WTF, pachter isn't anti Nintendo at all.
He was the one saying the 3ds could be 300bucks and still sell well.

He hates on all the big three hardware manufacturers when he sees them making (from his perspective) stupid decisions.

@komicturtle92
1000 Points in the UK = £7.50 though which a weird number and no better than MS point system. Proper currency values are welcomed here at least

Weird, sold like crap in the UK but least it had success in the US.

Good to see growth in WiiWare.

lol, VC is crap anyway I'd never pay for anything on that service especially with shoddy Euro 50htz games, I just use homebrew channels emulators which offer full 60htz and smoothed out edges.
I'd rather support Wiiware developers.

@golgo

So a new monkey island game isn't worth £7 yet a 18 year old monkey island game with better graphics is?

Been waiting on this version, PC gaming sucks.

Well I wouldn't count on it, there have been stock issues in the everywhere.
It's not in GAME, Gamestop,HMV, Argos...it's not even on the bloody nintendo channel.
Amazon have it listed but it's not in stock because of "issues" the only place i could find it is play.com

@ warioswoods: wasn't the original gameboy screen more of a green color.

I don't think games will suffer they probably have the MP3 player on the actual disk rather than using it from the firmware.
Still it makes you wonder about future MP3 support in new games.

All in all it's not terribly important the channel is pretty crap and I doubt anyone was using it for MP3 play back so the decided to save some money on it by getting rid of MP3 support.

Still weird and makes them look like cheapskates though.

I thought this was gonna turn out rubbish but it's been getting some decent reviews around the web.

May get it eventually, coop is always a blast in rail shooters. Probably won't be getting the zapper or using it if it's bundled, never liked the look of the thing.

Tis true. Mini game collections get boring quickly and games like Mass Effect are just scary in how much time you need to pour into them to even scratch the surface.

Streets of rage rocks, btw that screen shot is from streets of rage 2!

i love this game

Yeah the japanese version was a but more fun and wacky but i still really enjoyed this.
This game had a few nice extras in the package aswell with saving replays and a better multiplayer mode aswell so it gains points there.

Kirby is pretty good fun.

I remember there was a Baseball in development for the Gamecube, Pennant chase baseball i think? It was actually pretty much finished if i remember correctly but it never saw the light of day...it has to be in development for wii now.

Ha ha saw it on youtube quite funny

Awsomenss.

I think the DVD idea may have been scrapped because while it would have been a nice feature it's very passive, it's not really drawing in a potentalliy diffrent audiance and getting them to use the wiiremote. Sure they will use it to turn it on and go throught the DVD menue but then what? there sitting there for 2 hours completly uninterested in the wii (it's just a DVD to them player after all).
The functions they are putting into it are all cleverly planted in so they while there brannching out to other non game uses they are getting the potential non gamer using the remote, getting them used to it and then there is the chance they might try out a game.
A DVD player would have probably boosted sales a bit but for all the wrong resons. It still would have been nice for a dongle add on but I do have 4 DVD players in the house.

Yeah the price seemed a little steep but i must admit the little extra like viewing photos, news, the opera browser, Mii people ceator and the wii sports bundle seem like a nice package.
I know my mum will definitly be pleased with the photo viewer, it totally trounces the card reader i have that connect to the TV, although i do hope it will be able to read off USB memory sticks or have the option to attach a card reader to the USB ports aswell, would be quite anoying having to transfer photos to a SDcard all the time.

Still havn't got it myself, don't think i will either

I never watch these shows, there always a bit naff. You know by looking at some of the people there they don't really want to be there .

It's just all abit silly, TV isn't really the proper medium. it's like "omg GTA won best sound track OMG, now lets take a look at this game" boring game play footage, old trailer or worst of all they animate the charachter and pretend there talking to them or somthin.

Still I kinda like Justin Lee Collins he's a bit funny and always sounds enthusiastic.

I played about in these levels like 2 years ago, can't now though AR disk is broke thanks to datel not packing a DVD case with it.

Well I dunno....hav't kept up with the house of dead games, only played the first one on an arcade machine, good fun.
Still I predict another smelly average movie.

Yeah sounds great..i hope EA start supporting the Nintendo Wifi connection soon.

LOL!

loooks interesssting

Pretty good they broke it up into diffrent sizes for diffrent prices, no way was the 4GB for £130 gonna sell well on its own.

Great stuff

Love this game

That means £30 or £35 on amazon

Yup, fingers crossed!

£150 would be really nice.

Good to see the service getting more and more support and the actual game sounds pretty intresting. Hopfully it's a decent flying game.

So is this a completly Platform based game? Or will it still have some RPG elements?
I was hoping for another RPG but this does sound pretty decent.

Or you could just get a wii

It reminds me on the Arcade and Sports range logos Nintendo used to have on NES covers. They seem to be getting back into that with the DS having the touch generation logos on certain games aswell.

WiiBreeding? Odd...

Well they already had a black and white area in Windwaker.

Yeah I use opera on my computer seems to hog less resources than Firefox.

He just sounds like a nice guy and knows how to talk to fans. He must be doing great things to get a promotion like that.

Yeah I wish they would make actual cases instead.

bah!

Yeah i think Tetris just manages to squeeze it's self in, since it's a hugly popular puzzle game known by most people.

I like the change

Cooooool well thank god ubisoft is doing it atleast it actualy has a chance of being good.

Nice! The black one certainly looks kick ass but..it's probably a smudge and scratch magnet:(. White one for me!

Is it just the magazine cut outs or are all of those images in 16:9? Hopfully that along with Progressive scan and Dolby digital they will be standerd features

Tak about freaking expensive!
