@PhillepinO: If any series was going to do that, I hope it's not Punch Out!!. The whole emphasis on patterns just wouldn't work if you made movement realistic.
While I am exited about this news (although it doesn't confirm anything), I'm still waiting for the first Punch Out!! Wii.
Just use logic. There's still oodles of likley games yet to be released on VC. I don't see why Nintendo would stop trying to make 100% profit of these already made games.
I would rate it 10 too ZERO, but it's just not the kind of game that everyone would easily enjoy. An 8 is fine. By the way Tom, Phoenix's birth name is Phoenix Wright, not Nick Wright. Nick is the nickname, Phoenix is the real one.
@9. Kirk: No, I'm not being sarcastic. If Samus gets another boob job, I won't buy the game. They're plenty of other places where you can look at gigantic breasts, and on a character I have to spend hours playing as is not where I want them.
That would be terrible. Even Samus' SSBB incarnation was too much for me. She used to be the most respectable female gaming character. Nowadays she's just a sex symbol.
@91. theberrage: I'm not saying that the box and such are free, I'm saying that complaining about it and saying Nintendo should be thanking homebrewers is stupid.
“Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing is no ordinary racing game. Its huge variety of characters and vehicles, plus the ability to play both online and off set it apart from other games of this type”
Isn't that the definition of a racing video game? Next they might announce that there are different tracks, or that the you can steer the cars.
If there's anything we've learnt from the previous Sonic racing games, it's that it just doesn't work.
@35. chunky_droid: It was probably an import then.
Also, Hopkins has a point. Australian parents can't decide what they're children play correctly. If we want an R rating for games, then the aditude of parents buying games for their kids needs to change.

That's... a breath of fresh air. Not only is it funny and goes back to some of Nintendo's past commercials, but it doesn't involve white toothed rich looking people smiling so hard their heads are almost exploding. Nintendo's knows their core audience.

Re: Review: Yoshi's Island DS (DS)
What? 32 comments and no-one's nit picking on the last sentance? You people need to listen to The Beatles more.
Re: Ashes Cricket 2009 Still On The Cards For an NTSC Release?
Basically, cricket is 3 days of Dad hogging the TV watching people hitting a ball with a bat and running.
And then they do the same thing for the next 4 or 5 weeks. It's probably why I've grown to like Winter so much.
Re: Miles Edgeworth EU Release Date Announced
@Mayhem: Oh, I thought they were just being nice this time.
Re: Rampant Speculation: What's Up With Guitar Hero 5 Wii?
Activision can try as hard as they want, but they just won't be able to win me over The Beatles: Rock Band.
Re: Nintendo DSi Hits 100,000 Units in Australia
@Kim Jing-Il: I think he means legally.

Re: Why Silence is Golden for Nintendo
For those complaining Little Mac doesn't talk, remember this?

Re: Nintendo DSi Hits 100,000 Units in Australia
The picture of Corodile Dundee made me smile, but I would've laughed my ass of it it was a picture of Kevin Rudd with a DS.
Re: Nintendo Rep: Virtual Console Being Toned Down
Just use logic. There's still oodles of likley games yet to be released on VC. I don't see why Nintendo would stop trying to make 100% profit of these already made games.
Re: Icon Games Announce Plans for Wiiware
Yeah, I'm a little skeptical right now too... this looks like garbage at the moment.
Re: Punch-Out!! Gets Date Down Under
@chunky_droid: Yeah, that's exatly why I'm hesitating to import. Apparantly, Australia represents less than 1% of the video game market.
Re: Review: A Little Bit of... Puzzle League (DSiWare)
Since my copy of Pokemon Puzzle Challenge is serving me fine, (and I don't have a DSi) I really don't need to download this.
Re: University of Alabama Uses Wii Remote to Teach CPR
The thing is, if they teach people how to do CPR with a remote control in their hand, won't they have problems doing it without one?
Re: Sonic the Hedgehog 2
That's a pretty bold statment Shinnok, care to back it up?
Re: Punch-Out!! Gets Date Down Under
Hopefully this'll be the last time this happens this year...
But should I really be bothered waiting? Ebay is just a click and a 2 week's postage away...
Re: New Take On Smash Bros. Cast Slightly Disturbing
Old news again. Ugh....
But you know what they say, if you havn't seen it before, it's news to you!
Re: Review: Bit Boy!! (WiiWare)
That's very disapointing. This game had a wealth of potential. I guess I'll go for Bit.Trip Beat instead.
Re: Review: Rampage (NES)
I tried this once. I couldn't even get past the first screen.
Re: Review: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (DS)
I would rate it 10 too ZERO, but it's just not the kind of game that everyone would easily enjoy. An 8 is fine. By the way Tom, Phoenix's birth name is Phoenix Wright, not Nick Wright. Nick is the nickname, Phoenix is the real one.
Re: Review: Mario Kart DS (DS)
I would give this game a perfect 10 if snaking didn't ruin it, so it's 9/10 from me...
Re: Steve Wiebe Fails To Crack Donkey Kong Record At E3
I'd probably go insane if I had to play Donkey Kong over and over and over and over again until I got the high score.
Re: Metroid: Other M - Will Samus Get Sexy?
@9. Kirk: No, I'm not being sarcastic. If Samus gets another boob job, I won't buy the game. They're plenty of other places where you can look at gigantic breasts, and on a character I have to spend hours playing as is not where I want them.
Re: New Wii Zelda Artwork Leaked?
@8. LinkGalaxy: It looks more like the Great Faeries from Wind Waker.
But Link's missing sword is suspicious...
Re: Metroid: Other M - Will Samus Get Sexy?
That would be terrible. Even Samus' SSBB incarnation was too much for me. She used to be the most respectable female gaming character. Nowadays she's just a sex symbol.
Re: UK Retro Computer Museum Open Day
@8. Kawaiipikachu:Sounds like the Game On event that took place in Melbourne last year. I went. It was like, the bestest thing ever.
Re: Mega Man Meets Super Paper Mario
@23. VALERHU: Yeah, becuase as we all know, A Link to the Past plays excatly like Mega Man. |:
Re: Nintendo To Stop Taking Brawl User Content
I knew it had to happen sometime, they couldn't do this forever, but why so soon?
Re: Mega Man Meets Super Paper Mario
I've seen this ages ago but... I don't know whether this would work well.

Am I the only person here still waiting for Super Dodge Ball this Hanabi?

Re: Hackers Expand Wii Storage, Door Now Open To Filthy Pirates
@84. theberrage: I take back what I said earlier, THAT is the most ridiculous thing I've ever read.

Re: Alien Hominid Joins The Meat Team
@Bahamut ZERO: Yeah, somthing like that.
Re: Hackers Expand Wii Storage, Door Now Open To Filthy Pirates
@10. GameCube: That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Just because a game isn't released in your region doesn't mean it's okay to steal it.
Re: WiiWare Poker Game Too Sexy For Australia
The worst part is, sometimes we miss out on games for no reason like Pheonix Wright 3.
Re: Review: Photo Clock (DSiWare)
But Corbie, gamers LOVE clocks, apparantly.
Re: Review: Punch-Out!! (Wii)
Does anyone here know why there's still no realese date for Australia?
Re: Nintendo Confirms Metroid Prime Trilogy For Wii
I doubt it will have the NES Metroid bonus due to the game being on VC.
Re: Nintendo Fandom Downcast At Revelation That Miyamoto Is "Not God"
It's very funny you should mention that Chicken Brutus,considering I just watched Life of Brian last night.
Re: Mario Kart Wii Used As a Driving Education Simulator
@ jp-30: Thank you. That made my day,
Re: Legendary Starfy 101
Is it just me or does that rabbit thing on the cover of the US version look like Johnny Style from Zak and Wiki?
Here's hoping Starfy makes his way to PAL regions.
Re: Mario Kart Wii Used As a Driving Education Simulator
I agree with thewiirocks. They're not acctually learning to drive with this course guys.
Re: Nintendo: The Game Boy Advance Is Alive And Well
I wish I kept my trusty blue GBA SP. My GameBoy Colour has so many scatches on it's screen I can't see a thing.
Re: Nintendo Has No European ExciteBots Plans
I'm more concerned about Punch Out!!'s Australian release. It's been reated by the OFLC but... no release date?

Re: All new Icarian: Kindred Spirits screenshots
They look pretty dull. I like my platforming games to have millions of crap on the screen at once.
Re: Wii Sports: The Biggest Selling Video Game Of All Time
Well, that's okay I guess. Bundled game sales don't really mean that much.
At least Super Mario Bros 3 still holds top spot for un-bundled game at 18 million though, I hope.
Re: Punch-Out!! lesson with Doc Louis
They should use this as the acctual tutorial video for Punch Out!! Wii.
Re: Little Mac in live-action Punch-Out!! commercial
That's... a breath of fresh air. Not only is it funny and goes back to some of Nintendo's past commercials, but it doesn't involve white toothed rich looking people smiling so hard their heads are almost exploding. Nintendo's knows their core audience.
