....come again? Check your (gaming) history books again, please. Wolfenstein 3D had that honor.

First game that I ever owned. Bought it with my NES
Ended up trading it for Castlevania

... and Nintendo never sued them, fearing to upset the religious communities, so strong in the US ...they just let them do business without a licence

to anyone who is thinking about getting the "red anniversary wii"... keep in mind that you will not be able to redownload your Wiiware & VC games to the new hardware... They're linked FOREVER to the console you bought them on. Lets hope Nintendo changes its DRM policy when the "Wii2" is launched. Have a lot of WW/VC games id like to tranfer (heck, allow people to transfer the games, just like with the X360. Microsoft actually has a DRM transfer application that allows you to transfer your games to a new console, altough they're still linked to your Gamertag)

...I think the 3DS is allowing people to transfer the DSiware games to from the DSi to 3DS.. so, the same should be possible on the Wii

lets see. So far, the only game Im certainly going to buy is MARIO ANNIVERSAY EDITION in december... dunno about the rest

regarding to Xmas being a sucess, judging from the comments over here, it'll be a HUGE sucess, but this site is also only nintendo dedicated, and has a lot of fanboys that will say anything
im not sure itll be that big of a sucess, considering that the Wii has trouble to shift games (only mario, zelda, kart, casual games sell good, the rest not. Look at "other M")

i guess the talent there is "rare" these days (pun, sorry)
anyway, if the only thing they can come up with is "Banjo-Nuts&Bolts" and some "Mii Knockoff's", then i think i wont be holding me breath for they're next game
