$277.7315 USD for Australia and $287.6303 USD for New Zealand. Keep in mind New Zealand has a different currency than Australia.

The graphics look pretty good, but I've seen almost everything in that video before in Super Mario Galaxy...

@27.Omega: If I never log off after this session... tell my wife...

Ah, now that was a classic Simpsons episode...

@SmaMan: I MUST FIND ONE OF THOSE PINBALL MACHINES

@87.Ravage: That's really just becuase vinyl records are an analogue format, and thus give a warmer sound. I don't see how it's related to this. It's not like music runs slower on one or the other.

@19.Neoprenanzug: But there lies a problem, becuase some games (eg Mega Man 3) have the music sped up to match the speed of the NTSC version but the game isn't. So, if we ran it in PAL60, the game would play fine but the music would be too fast. Some games have this, others don't.

I think if they just gave the NTSC versions to us it would be a fix that would work with all the games.

Untill then, Princess Toadstool will just have to wait 17.5% longer than American Princess Toadstools to be saved.

@7.Ren: They don't need to bloody "re-code" them, they just have to give us the US version. It's not that hard.

Also, it not always has to do with nostalgia. Some poeple are playing these games for the first time. They should be played how they were meant to be played. They should give us a choice between 50hz or 60hz, so people can have their nostalgia if they want.

It really has gone on for long enough. I want to play Mega Man 2 and Castlevania at the speed they were meant to played. Is it really so much to ask?

Half a million is very good for a counrty with a population of 22 million, especially in it's first week.

The sadest part is that there will be people who buy it.

Also, this should've been Google's April Fools joke: http://i530.photobucket.com/albums/dd346/brwombat/Miscellaneous/GoogleEarth4-1.jpg

Uuuh, after all the waiting for this game to come to PAL consoles... it freakin' decides to give me motion sickness.

They even used the old site template. Almost had me there.

@21.Bikeage:

The SNES version I presume.

@12.That_Guy_from_Faxanadu:

Some of the synth-heavy tracks from Who's Next might work well.

Other than that, I can't imagine an 8-bit Tommy being very gripping....

Is it just me, or do some of the trainer's Pokemon have lower levels than the original games...?

We're living in historic times my friends.

I don't think the DS could handle 100 Pikmin on screen at once. Wii all the way.

@1.Objection_Blaster: Is good. I give 9.

There, it's now been reviewed.

Hanabi Festival eh? Maybe this means we might get Super Dodge Ball this time around...

@Strom_Owl: What part of "mission to rid the gaming world of execrable franchise-bleeding and license abuse" don't you understand?

Is it just me, or does this one look much blurrier than Mega Man 9? Maybe it's just my TV.

@1.47drift: Ah, what are you going to do? It's like when non-gamers call Xboxes "Play Stations". But this is a TV show (althought not a very good one) and they really should've at least asked their kids what it's called.

@29.JimLad: I mean it all just looks too corney, even for Mario.

@12.warioswoods: Maybe they wanted to go for a bit of a different approach with the colours and style. It could be a good thing, seperating it from SMG1.

Is that really what the boxart is going to look like? Eww...

Did anyone hear that SMB3 sold 1mil this year on the VC? It just goes to show I guess.

@2.Golgo: "Now it's the biggest entertainment industry on the planet, apart from pornography of course"

I'm 100 percent sure that it isn't. Bigger than film? Music? Television? Come on.

I WANT MY SUPAH MARIO KARTS!

@3.Swerd_Murd: Mars Attack?

Dave, I'm afraid.

Oh I get it, OSCAR In Movieland. Ha ha ha.

There better be a Citizen Oscar stage.

@177.Aenaida: My god, that's the funniest thing I've seen all day. I'm saving that on my computer right now.

I feel ripped off for buying the NES version now.

When it said "Two anticipated titles finally arrive" I imediatly though Super Mario Kart.

They could've at least has both, but I guess if it stops less young kids being influenced to gamble, then I can't complain.

Were the slots in the Australian version of Platnum?

Anyone reminded of the original Star Wars poster as they look at this?

@59.Wiiman94: I think this is happening because people pirate games.

I suppose it's good to get another veiw on the game. The stuff you said is why some people don't like it.

But I mean, sure it may be a port of the GBA version only, but it is pretty cheap considering the price of the DS version, or even the price of importing a second hand GBA version. I prefer the DS version anyway just for the conveniance of having it portable.

Wow, hang on, didn't the last paragraph say something about using the "s word" before?

@81.WesterHive: I know. They're barstards aren't they? Now I'll just HAVE to buy it.

The game was too good to be true in the first place.

@36.Odnetnin: I was just about to say that.

Even glader I got Bowser's Inside Story for Chirstmas. Still havn't gotten the chance to finish it though. So far it's fantastic.

I mean, it can't be selling THAT poorly, can it?

I guess this means Australia will be getting it around the same time, and if not, before Europe.

This Pokewalker thing has to be the greatest idea ever to get kids (and me) to exersise. No more complaining about how much I have to walk around at school from class to class. Exept if when the thing breaks your Pokemon is gone with it. Then there's no way I'm taking it anywhere.

@retrobuttons: Where does it say they use all their manpower? It just says they might be working on another Zelda game at the moment, and it's from early 2007. Phontom Hourglass was released in mid 2007 in Japan, so there we go.

However, since the DS versions sell just as well as the Wii versions, so I'd imagine that they would put as much effort, yet take less time becuase there's less to work with.

WHAT?

STREET FIGHTER ON GBA?

AND YOU CAN PLAY AS M. BISON?

Why wasn't I informed eariler?

@38.mastersworddude: Well, at least we all get a good laugh out of it. Ho ho ho.

The title of this is just asking for everyone to skip the article and post comments.

It was Phantom Hourglass. Good night.

@:madgear: It's just a lable they put on things to show it has more special features. Calm down.

OH GOSH OH GOSH OH GOSH I HOPE THEY STILL SELL IT HERE LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO FIND A COPY.

@15.Gavin_Rozee: Wouldn't it be easier to just give us the 60hz version?

It's interseting to see these lists compared to lists from sites with different kind of communities, such as older/younger ones.

@54.WAM2: And EarthBound.
