I so agree w/ spacing game releases. 2010 was the best year on Wii. Mario Galaxy 2, NBA Jam, Sin & Punishment 2, Metroid: Other M, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Sonic Colors. These games were nicely spread out and I bought them all on day one. It was the only year I've ever bought so many new games, and the fact they were spread out certainly helped.

De Blob 2 [1st time]
Mario Sunshine [3rd file to complete--I'm currently at 25 shines]
Rush 2049 [played it a lot back in the N64 days, but it's been a long time]

Been on a big GBA Micro kick lately. This weekend I plan to finish Tony Hawk 4, replay Tony Hawk 3, and start Silent Scope.

"That the two share such similar sales perhaps suggests nothing more than Zelda games continue to sell to the same group of people."

Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner! I think a lot of the earliest adopters of the Wii were probably big Zelda fans who wanted TP. So even if the Wii has sold 95 million consoles, it doesn't really matter since the bulk of those were not people buying a Wii for Zelda.

I didn't think I would buy a WiiU, but this honestly might be a system-seller for me. Rayman Origins is one of my top 3 games of all time.

Will this just be two random prizes from what they already have available? Or two completely unknown items? I'm guessing the former.

Amazing Mirror, Super Star, DreamLand 2, Pinball Land, and Crystal Shards are the must-haves, IMO.

Oh, and if they could get Tilt & Tumble on there that would be awesome!! I loved that game.

A Boy and His Blob [Wii]. I think I'm about 95% done right now. Once I finish that I'll be beating Donkey Kong Country 2 for the umpteenth time.

@Knuckles I'm guessing they mean that for how good the quality of the game and the amount of content, $9 is a great bargain. And considering that some downloadable games are more fun than many $50 retail releases, it's probably a fair statement.

This definitely looks promising. WiiWare still has some life yet thanks to this game, Retro City Rampage, and La Mulana.

For those who haven't seen it yet, there is sort of a trailer out already: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gxa_p_tULyE

"Danger in Old Tourian" and "Earthroot" were awesome off of last year's album. The rest I wasn't that impressed with. However, this 101% Run sounds promising.

I may be in the minority, but I actually find Adventure of Link to be vastly superior to this game.

Just a couple days ago I was wishing the Wii had a Micro Machines style racing game. Hope this one is decent.

I'm sure I'm the only one, but I'm actually super excited about the 2 Fast 4 Gnomz demo. I've been really considering buying that game.

I love that this game has a sense of humor. I wish Nintendo would do this in more of its games. It could really fit well with their cartoony franchises such as Mario, Wario, Donkey Kong, Star Fox, and cel-shaded Zelda. All of these series has had some level of humor, but adding more would really be a good move if done tastefully.

All I can say is I never heard of Fez until this arrogant comment was made. So maybe it's just brilliant advertising by an attention-whore.

"It's such an obviously brilliant solution... that we're surprised it's taken someone so long to figure it out in this basic way."

This sentence really doesn't make sense. Someone came up with something brilliant and it doesn't make sense why it took someone so long to do so? That's like saying computers are a brilliant idea, so it's hard to believe it took humans thousands of years to invent them.

For some reason, even knowing this game looks to be of mediocre quality, it just looks very fun. I normally wouldn't download a 6/10 game, but I might make an exception for this one.

I love that NintendoLife has the release date for USA posted as "To Be Announced." Somehow, it fills me with hope.

THIS is how difficulty levels need to be done. Normally it's just "give enemies more HP, give character less." This takes more work, but I really hope it becomes a trend in the industry.

Even with only single player, this is one of my top 4 games of all time and the best platformer ever, IMO. Of course, I don't have a 3DS, so I'll just happily stick with my Wii version. Still, I'd love to see how this looks in 3D.

I've never understood the hoop-la over this game. It's a novel concept that's fun for the first 10 minutes but gets old really quickly. There's just not any depth to it. Different strokes for different folks, I guess. I will say that I found Twisted to be a much more enjoyable game, even if it still suffers from some of the same issues.

@MetalMario
Yeah, but keep in mind the points were a free gift. Also, keep in mind you're getting a GAME for just 100 points, whereas it would cost you 3 times as many points just to get some shoe laces. I'd much rather have a game to play, but maybe that's me.

I can't fathom how anyone could say DK '94 is better than this game. I loved the '94 version, don't get me wrong. It was great for its time. But it only took me about 5 hours to beat the entire game. There's is just no replay value at all.

MvDK, on the other hand, has WAY more challenge, variety, length, etc. You try to get stars on every level, including the + worlds AND the secret levels and tell me this game is not a much fuller experience than DK '94.

Hopefully this is a good sign that Capcom will bring MM6 to the U.S.

Best Kirby game ever. No contest.

I'm not holding my breath. I would be willing to bet it will actually come on WiiU, not Wii.

That first video looks like Link is exercising and then transforms into Fierce Deity Link. Wish I could get results like that in the gym!!

Miyamoto had a hand in helping create Chibi Robo, a game dealing with a lazy toy-obsessed father who won't get a job, leading to his wife wanting to shut herself in her room because she wants a divorce. Meanwhile, their daughter only speaks in ribbits, and all the toys and animals are alive.

Most amazingly, Chibi Robo had one of the most interesting storylines I've ever seen in a game. This mother-in-law thing doesn't sound that crazy to me.

Why not just make it so we can buy Wii points with our Coins? Then we could get whatever games we want. This is a step in the right direction but...

This game seems to have the best graphics on the Wii [not comparing it to a stylistic game like Rayman Origins].

Body Harvest
Sub-Terrania
Mega Man 6
If you release those 3 games, you can retire the VC as far as I'm concerned.

I'm very excited about this game, but I really hope it's not $50. There's no way a game like this is worth as much as Skyward Sword or Rayman Origins.

I'm a big platformer fan, and this is probably my new favorite of all time. It's amazing in so many ways. Very well-deserved 10. I've been playing this more than Skyward Sword.

Amazing!! If this is possible, it makes me dream about Starfox 64, Smash Bros, Mario Kart 64, etc. having online multiplayer.

I live in Dallas

This seemed quite obvious just from the preview videos that have been released. Not sure why anyone would be surprised after seeing what some of the levels look like...

After playing FPS on Wii, I could never go back to dual analog sticks. Ubisoft is crazy if they don't recognize what an improvement pointer controls are for FPS. IMO, the people who don't like FPS on Wii have just not done a good job tweaking the controls to suit them.

Zelda so purty...

This was my first real game I owned. I played an Atari 2600 when I was little because my parents had one. But the GameBoy and Mario Land 2 were the first to actually be mine.
I played this game to death!! My system literally overheated one day when I played Wario's castle all day long.

This game was mind-blowing back in the day and still holds up shockingly well. These were some of the best graphics on the original GameBoy. Great music as well.

My top 5:
1.Majora's Mask
2. Body Harvest
3. Goldeneye
4. Jet Force Gemini [still has the best soundtrack of all time]
5. StarFox 64

Honorable mention to Winback: Covert Operations, Shadow Man, Diddy Kong Racing, Ocarina of Time, Blast Corps, Mario 64.

Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear is my favorite GBA game of all time. I don't normally like tactical shooters, but it is absolutely amazing how well they designed the levels in a 2D format.

The level design looks reminiscent of Diddy Kong Racing, which means that they look more interesting than any of the previous Mario Kart games.

This looks like it should be called "THE SWORD... also featuring Kirby"

DKC2
DKC3
Super Mario World
Super Metroid

Those games are all pretty much perfect in their own way. I can't pick one over another.

And I'm still waiting for MotoHeroz...

Where is my MotoHeroz?! It was supposed to be late June or early July that it was released. What's going on...
