Fantastic article and I agree 100%!!!

I've always said since day one that the WiiWare service is too flawed.

I think that Skyward Sword was my least favorite 3D Zelda I have played. The story is fantastic, but I hated the over-done motion controls. Like someone else said, the puzzle keys in the dungeons are just tedious and stupid. Fi is really annoying, way worse than Navi. If they had done the controls like Twilight Princess, this game would have been prefect. It's not a bad game, but I hope they don't use the over-done motion controls for the next Zelda game (although they probably will).

It will never happen.

People always complain. People complained in the late 90's and early in the Gamecube's life span that there weren't enough Mario games coming out. Now Nintendo is releasing great Mario games more often and people still complain. I'll take a great Mario game once a year over the kiddy crap they release nowadays.

It's about time something good came out. Can't wait to play Kid Icarus with newer graphics.

The first SMB is very difficult, followed by SMW. I always thought SMB2 and SMB3 were pretty easy.

This is stupid, why take down Sonic games? I already own all of the VC games I plan on buying, but this pretty much proves that the VC is dead!

If you already own it, it won't be removed from your Wii, correct?

This is really stupid not to release it on WiiWare, especially since I got Episode 1. Still, I own a PS3, so at least I'll get to play it.

Nice, I never played this when I was a kid.

This is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. PETA has to be the dumbest organization of earth. Just remember what PETA really stands for, People Eating Tasty Animals!

Good, finally some decnt 3D classics games.

I never owned a SNES. I had an NES from the time it came out till I got my N64 in 2000. However, I think the quality of games for the SNES are fantastic and I've been able to play all of the classics on the Wii. I'd say either Super Mario World or Mega Man X are my favorite games for the SNES.

This is a really stupid move but it doesn't effect me at all since I got both a Wii and a Gamecube right next to each other.

"They don't do 3DS VC games when they have a 3DSWare game to promote."

Why not promote both of them.

No 3DS VC again. Hmmm...and Nintendo wonders why their online service doesn't perform as well as they would like.

I speak up, release it!!!!

Nintendo has no one to blame but themselves. They never tell you ahead of time what is coming out with either WiiWare or the VC. What's the big secret? Plus, most of the games blow. There are some great games like the Rebirth games, Mega Man 9/10, Sonic 4, and Dr. Mario, but the rest are so forgotten.

What a crappy week.

Just some stupid company trying to get money from Nintendo. Hope Nintendo crushes them!!!

Nice, I never got to play Kirby's Dream Land back in the day.

Sony still lets this joker talk. How could he have so much confidence when the Wii clobbered the PS3 (and I own both systems so no fanboy here).

Nintendo made the right decision. Most of the games for the iPhone are crap anyway, why is that even being used as an example.

I'm 30 and I still play my DS all the time at work. This Trenton guy is nothing but an idiot. Talks a lot of smack but it's funny how he always says the Wii and DS are for kids when both of those systems have crushed the PS3 and PSP in sales.

Happy Birthday Link, thanks for all the memories over the years!!!

I hope so, I loved Mario Party 3.

Glad Nintendo got Mario Party 2 out before Hudson folded, but I guess that means that Mario Party 3 has no chance now.

Reggie is right. SOme of those $1 to $2 games are crap.

I already got the Collector's Edition.

Fantastic news, can't wait to play this with my sister.

@22. StarDust
Nintendo is already planning to reelase Mario Party 2 in Japan and Europe, so it will likely come to the US as well. Mario Party 1 will never come out because of all of the controller issues.

I'm waiting on this game. Been burned too many times with bad Sonic games recently, except for Sonic 4.

All I care about is Mario Party 2.

Honestly, I enjoy the Metroid games, but I hated this one. I just found it to be a total bore and I hated the 1st person battles. I honestly thought it just wasn't that good.

More crap.

@34. Stuffgamer1
Yeah if SS comes before OOT, then Ganon shouldn't be in it. Maybe they will explain about that great war that was mentioned in OOT when Link was talking to the Deku Tree Sprout after the Forest Temple.

I've downloaded 18 VC games and 5 WiiWare games.

I've lost interest in the VC a long time ago. I used to get excited for Monday's but now I could care less. Shoot 2 weeks ago, I didn't check until late evening. Still, I'm only hoping for any of the 3 N64 Mario Party games for the VC and that's about it. The TMNT game likely won't ever come out. The same goes for Duck Tales as well. I hope someday for Castlevania Bloodlines, but who knows. I was hopeful for the VC Arcade when it came out, but that has been a big letdown as well. Then again it's no big deal if no new games come out because I still got Super Mario Galaxy 2 to finish and I got Mario Tennis a few weeks ago so I'm pretty happy.

The VC isn't dead, because there have been games announced by Sunsoft and Capcom I believe as well on nintendolife. Even if the VC was done, Nintendo would release all of their big name games before shutting down the service, so fret not folks.

No VC again this week...

What is so special about this guy? Billy Mitchell is way better.

I totally forgot it was Monday, LOL! I'm still happy with Mario Tennis from last week and Super Mario Galaxy 2. It does seem like the DSiWare releases are effecting the VC/WiiWare releases which kinda sucks, but what else can you do. I hope for any of the Mario Party games this year and that's really all I'm looking for on the VC since I guess the TMNT games won't ever come out.

Awesome, I can't wait to play Mario Tennis in a few minutes.

Maybe next week for Mario Tennis.

Can't wait. Kirby, Zelda, and Donkey Kong. Best E3 in a long time.

Fantastic. I can't wait to play this.

This game looks fantastic, and really fun as well. Then again, all Kirby games are fun.

No VC again...big surprise!

I had this, but never enjoyed it. Kinda boring in my opinion.
