Awesome video. I loved when the guy shrugged after the game performed flawlessly. I just pre-ordered the bundle today at Best Buy, one day before the game releases. I didn't want to take any chances, especially after I went to Toys R Us and they were out of pre-orders.

That video was indeed amazing. XD Honestly, I am SICK of people complaining over review scores all the damn time but, in this case, GameSpot really messed up. It's obvious that guy had no clue how to control the game--there's even video proof now!

Ugh, the store here BETTER have it tomorrow...the majority of the time when I pick up a new game...ends up not being there on release date. :/
Which doesn't make any sense, especially when sometimes I pre-order...>_>
Gonna try and get this tomorrow.

"However, after the minuscule instruction, um,
fold-out that came with Super Mario 3D Land, I'm not expecting much. It was BARELY instructive, and it sure wasn't a booklet"

Oh man, that certainly doesn't sound good!

I have finished the woods and the first dungeon. The woods where very linear, and if the rest will be like this then I think it's very bad. Luckily the dungeon was great fun (and very atmospheric) and the boss was surprisingly hard. I actually was shocked by this! I guess the following bosses are even harder! And that's a good thing! Also, the beetle item was fun!

@eureka Where do you buy your games? If only gamestop would let me preorder one of their bundles even though they're all reserved. I better be able to get the bundle at walmart at midnight without preordering.

4..........more..........days..........

You know, I would find my ocarina and play the song of double time if the universe would stop telling me that such a thing is pointless. sigh

On the bright side, I'll have a three day weekend to enjoy it and all the school work I'm hopping to get done this week will make it feel so worth it! (Along with the five year wait.)

Usually just Gamestop...but I sometimes go to other stores only to find them all sold-out as well. Yet they're restocked the following day and I'm like "wtf?" o.0
I don't do the whole midnight thing either. >.>

I'm buying the game at Best Buy, where I buy all my Wii games. I would buy my games at Walmart, where I work, but their "accidental damage" protection plan sucks. At Best Buy, I can just exchange the game in-store (no need to call a repair service number and mail the disc in).

The new Toys R Us ad has this game with a 10 dollar gift card when you buy it. Unfortunately, my local Toys R Us was out of pre-orders when I checked today. Hopefully Best Buy will have some deal as well.

Oh, and I saw a track listing of the fully orchestrated CD. It has 8 songs I think totally over 40 minutes of music. Each song is pretty long. Can't wait!

Does anyone else think the graphics are ugly? I'm only an hour into it so far but the beginning almost looks like an N64 game, hard to believe they look that bad with a lof of reviews giving the graphics a 10. So far the graphics are not up to par with other Nintendo Wii games...

Um... what kind of TV do you have?

@Viewtiful_Joe

I have to agree with him. Some of the textures are very bland and flat. The overall effect of a "watercolor painting come to life" is a novel idea, but on the Wii it just looks very bland with those low-resolution textures.

I'm playing on a 56" widescreen DLP TV, I take back the N64 part, it's not that bad but it just doesn't look as good as I expected, some of the reviews say it pushes the Wii graphics to the max but I'm just not seeing that, I think there are better looking games on the Wii.

Went to the midnight release tonight with my bro. Still haven't played it, though.

Had a nice sitdown with Mr Tubert. What a great guy.

This vid is amazing. **shrug**

Too bad I'm broke. On the other hand, I've got a difficult test coming up tomorrow morning, and any distractions could have disastrous results. I'll pick this game up next month.

Am I the only one who thinks the graphics look quite nice? I like the style in which they're done, it's almost like up to date WindWaker graphics.

Nice to see someone else who knows about Josh and his awesome videos

You're not the only one. Read almost any review and you'll see praise for the graphics.
