I'm glad they finally got a demo out for Rage of the Gladiator. It was a great game, and definately deserves getting a bigger audience. Hopefully a demo will boost its sales.
There are 3 reasons why im not interested in the "NGP". Price (gonna be 350 at least), battery life (if the 3DS lasts 5 hours, imagine how much juice this thing will chug), and finally, it's Sony, and I've never been interested in their products. If it was Microsoft though, who knows? Another thing, I know lots of people are going to refer to the 3DS as the "casual" console and the PSP 2 as the "hardcore" one, but when you look at the launch lineup for the 3DS, it looks like the opposite.
While it would be nice to have a longer battery life, three hours would be a major improvment over my ipod touch, which loses battery pretty fast, especially while Im playing games on it.
Haven't opened presents yet, but my favorite nintendo present that I ever got, the one that got me started on gaming, was my N64 that came with Star Wars Podracing. THERE'S a game I'd like to see get a remake.
This game looks awesome! Yeah, the glitches during the demo sucked, but it was cool to see how it would work nonetheless. Graphic style looks nice, the only thing that sucks about it are the goblins, they look a bit too squarish. Anyways, can't wait!
Looks cool. Judging by the gameplay videos I'd say it looks like a cross between Sonic (dash/ homing attack) and Mario Sunshine (Jet Pack vs. FLUDD). Look forward to seeing more.
This game looks sick. I'm currently going through my second run through the first game, and I think a sequel would be awesome. Looking at the nintendo power article, it looks like they are trying to improve every aspect of the original. Hopefully their efforts will be rewarded by more lucrative sales this time around.
Wow, Ghostfire is pulling all of the stops for this game. This is probably a first in the history of wiiware. Even if the game sucks (which is highly improbable) i think that they would still deserve support for sheer effort and dedication. Best of luck to you ghostfire and consider my copy already purchased.
Did everybody forget that World of Goo was 1500? Yeah the price is a bit steep for wiiware, but it also means more game right? (assuming nintendo bases the prices on that). If it gets a solid review then ill give it a shot.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a quality modern warfare styled FPS in Heavy Fire. The only other FPS's that wiiware has are Onslaught and water Warfare, so this would be a welcome addition.
Wait, im confused with the europe time vs u.s. Time thing... What will the time be when it starts? (based on the 24 hour clock that theyre using for the updates.)
Will the cut scene finishing moves be like the Force Unleashed where you press the indicated buttons/directions in order to preform different parts of the sequence?
Good review. I want this badly, but I'm going to blow all my money on Wii Sports Resort tomorrow, so I'll have to wait. Also, I have a quick question. Is it possible to turn blood off in the options?

Re: Dive Into Lego Pirates of the Caribbean Next Year
Awesome! Out of all the possible LEGO-makes this one was at the top of my list.
Re: Exclusive: Nintendo Bringing Back WiiWare Demos
Rage of the Gladiator needs a demo, so does Swords and Soldiers and Lost Winds 1 and 2.
Re: And Yet It Moves Competition Winners
Darn, didn't win. On the plus side, I just bought the game and it's pretty fun. I especially loved the bat puzzle.
Re: 3DS Could Cause Eye Problems in Later Life
Yeah, they say the same thing about videogames and t.v. in general, so I'm not too worried.
Re: Strap On Your Headset for Conduit 2
Yeah, im hoping for a mute option too, but the first one had it for wii speak, so they'll probably do it with this.
Re: E3 2010: Reader Questions - Day One
Did Conduit 2 make an appearance, and if so, how was it?
Re: E3 2010: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
This game looks awesome! Yeah, the glitches during the demo sucked, but it was cool to see how it would work nonetheless. Graphic style looks nice, the only thing that sucks about it are the goblins, they look a bit too squarish. Anyways, can't wait!
Re: E3 2010: Live Text - Nintendo's Media Presentation
lol, it hasn't even started and we have 100+ comments already!
Re: Lifting the Bonnet on TrackMania's Track Editor
Looks sweet, but I'm not sure if it will be worth fifty bucks. I might pick it up if the price drops, though.
Re: Interviews: Shin'en Multimedia - Jett Rocket
Looks cool. Judging by the gameplay videos I'd say it looks like a cross between Sonic (dash/ homing attack) and Mario Sunshine (Jet Pack vs. FLUDD). Look forward to seeing more.
Re: Nintendo's Upcoming U.S. Release Schedule Gets Updated
@ Mark M
Coincidentally, the delay means that it's going to be released on MY birthday!

Re: Review: Military Madness: Nectaris (WiiWare)
Looks Cool. Ill probably get it once it hits the states.

Re: Phoenix Wright Series Coming To WiiWare
Sounds great! I haven't gotten into this series yet (no DS), but this looks like a good place to start.
Re: Nintendo Download: Pinballs, Fights and Gravity
No Lost Winds? Oh well, there's always next week.
Re: Review: LostWinds: Winter of the Melodias (WiiWare)
Great review! I'll probably get it once it comes out in the states.
Re: Rage of the Gladiator to Support Wii MotionPlus
This just made my day. I was already planning on getting this, now even more so!
Re: LostWinds: Winter of the Melodias Teaser Trailer Appears
I never got the first one, most because of concerns about the short length. If they can bump up the game time, then I'll consider this.
Re: LucasArts Bringing Classic Games to Virtual Console
These could be my first virtual console games.
Re: Rage of the Gladiator Coming to WiiWare
1) On average, how long will each boss battle be?
2) What inspirations did you use for the story?
3) How fast does the difficulty ramp up?
Thanks for taking your time to answer our questions!
Re: Rage of the Gladiator Coming to WiiWare

Re: Review: The Conduit (Wii)
Too late, I already got it.

Re: Brand New Liight Gameplay Trailers Released
Looks O.K. I'm still not sure how the gameplay works, though.
Re: Max & the Magic Marker Trailer and Screenshots
Looks O.K., but a lot like some flash games I've seen.
Re: Nintendo Download: Fantasies, Fishing, Warfare, Reversi and Sudoku (US)
I might get water warfare, but right now I'm saving for Wii Sports Resort and an extra Motion+.
Re: Swords & Soldiers Out in North America Next Monday
YES! Can't wait!
Re: Bplus Announces Bit Boy!!
The first three look fun, but the last three don't.
Re: Tales Of Monkey Island coming to WiiWare
Looks great. Here's the main site with the trailer:

Re: Nintendo Download: Popstars, WiiWare Remakes and Clay Fighting (US)
WHERE'S SWORDS AND SOLDIERS?!
Re: Nintendo Download: Masks, Crystals, Chess and Art (US)
Looks like people will start complaining about not getting Swords and Soldiers from now on.
Re: Review: Swords & Soldiers (WiiWare)
Nice review, although it would have been cool to see the second "10" score on wiiware. I'll be getting this as soon as it hits the U.S.
Re: Nintendo Download: Swords & Soldiers and Even More Magic Tricks
Come on Swords and Soldiers, come out in the U.S.!!!
Re: Top 20 WiiWare Games in USA (29th Apr)
Fabulous Five sounds cool.
Re: New Swords & Soldiers Faction: The Chinese Empire
I checked out the site, and it looks awesome. I was expecting Japanese (ninja throwing stars), but this is pretty close.
Re: Review: Bonsai Barber (WiiWare)
I'm definately interested in this game. If I ever find a spare $10 laying around, I'll probably come to this first thing.
Re: Telltale Says Strong Bad Game Sales Double, More WiiWare Titles Coming
YES! A second season would be awesome!
Re: Nintendo Download: Bubble Bobble Plus! & More WiiWare Goodies (EU)
Why is europe getting all the good stuff? cough cough Majora's Mask cough cough.
Re: Nintendo of Europe Announces April-July WiiWare / DSiWare Lineup
hopefully the swords and soldiers bit applies to the U.S. as well.
Re: Nintendo Download: DSiWare, Equilibrio & Uncharted Waters (US)
Majora's Mask would ave been nice. Maybe next week!
Re: Two New Swords & Soldiers Gameplay Videos!
Sweet videos. I can't wait for it to come out!
