@Sean (and all UK/EU peeps)
I'm sorry that I now have a huge upper-hand for online.

Someone should say "pic unrelated" the pic for the article is literally a child's toy.

I think for streaming video "DVD-quality" sounds impossible... Especially with Wii tech.

Great article... But importing systems always seemed like a pain to me.

As much as I hate it, it sounds easier to homebrew.

Online lay would be awesome... But if I know Nintendo, this will be a worthless feature. Still getting this game regardless though, I have tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 and I have to say that Motion+ is AMAZING!

@Egg miester
the first one had hidden treasures to find...

Stoked about hostile fish though!
Worried that co-op was not featured in the trailer at all. In the first EO trailer we saw 2 divers at once!

Me and my GF solve all of our arguments by just getting on our Wiis and playing EO with eachother... it's the one game she is "better" than me at. She can name almost everycreature before she highlights it now!

@kawaiipickachu

You crazy Austrailians and your Emergency Numbers. Ours stateside is 911. Not 000.

Buying this the first day it's out. What's up with changing the guy's picture every half hour?

Was Samus just looking at a clone of herself? The origins of Dark Samus?

SAMUS SPEAKS!!!

@DaDun
This game has no multiplayer at all! But the graphics clearly explain why split-screen (and even online) isn't possible. If that was truly in-game, my Wii might catch fire if those same graphics were online!

@Adam
Good point.

Wow, I guess every title I buy from now on will be force-bundles with these until I have as many as I do Wii-condoms.

BTW: This was a mandatory measure from Nintendo to bundle it. If the game cannot support regular waggle, Nintendo would not allow it to ship without the proper peripheral.

Online Texas Hold 'Em? Man, if a game needed WiiSpeak this would be it... wait, it doesn't? and it's buggy? Thanks Nintendo!

Can't wait... the last TC I spent so many hours doing surgeries with my friend.

Wow, Sonic Drift 3... I know it's already been said... But damn!

At least it won't be like Sonic R on Saturn/PC/GCN... Car controls on a character that is supposed to be running.

Shows how much EU gets price gouged from NOE. Amazing WiiWare update today!

Right on Drake! Rep that NL L337N355

You know what makes me really angry? The XBLA Crystal Defenders is 55MB...

Really Square-Enix? You already had to lower the file size due to lack of HD... So you couldn't make this one 40MB release. Wii files use a high compression system anyways.

I originally bought the Wii to save money and get "into the game". Now I'm going broke and my arms and legs constantly hurt.... Lol.

@Chicken Brutus

That would've ended in dysentary.

@Chicken Brutus

I remember picking up my ex-GF in her neighborhood, then tearing off at 60 MPH in this residential neighborhood and drifting the corner to the main drag.

She turn to me and says, "What the F%&$ is WRONG with you!?!"

"I'VE BEEN PLAYING MARIO KART!!!" I responded, like a madman.

Today is a good day indeed... Now back to another month of terrible Mondays!

This is the best news for the Wii. Period. Bethesda has the BEST devs for games.

Until US get Disaster Day of Crisis, you guys don't get this... Lol. A hostage situation...

Exciting!

@dimlyletmonkey

I'm sure there will be people who deflect bullets and can only be taken down sword-sword.

Bad marketing. Horrible box-art. Everyone already has Mariokart, which has more features... Oh, and America is still trying to get through an economic crisis.

This should not be a title owned by "every self-respecting Wii owner"... as the article states.

@Chicken Brutus
I couldn't have said it better. Can't wait until Punch-Out!!

We need an F-Zero for Wii...

First comment, w00t. This game looks like a good title to lure some hardcore to the Wii-camp.

Wow, I hope Nintendo gives it'splatinum club members some love at the end of June in light of this amazing sales chart.

@Party on Dude
You have an unhealthy addiction to you Shift key. It's disappointing, but calm down!

We need a customizeable Wii interface too...

Weakest update ever. I turned my Wii off immediately after reading the titles released.

If they charge for online, I'll pass. I did the same thing against Sega when they decided to charge for Phantasy Star Onliner Ver.2 ($10 a MONTH!)... This will be just as insulting, because the prequels were free online.

However, this game looks AMAZING and I've heard alot of good things... We'll see how this plays out in the American market... If it even makes it's way out here...

The one on the left looks like what they thought of pre-nunchuk. Too bad it would sucked for sideways-play.

If it's on-rails... There shouldn't be back-tracking.

They just need to remake a RE with the new engine specs of 4/5. I would say port 5, but it will look terrible, and the game's forced co-op system is ridiculous... And somehow Capcom would find a way to keep your partner in the game... But nix multiplayer entirely for the Wii.

Too bad SEGA doesn't have their own multiplayer servers... Or we could have had a "name" system like in MOH:H2.

Guessing Piston Honda, another licensed boxer, or "Mr. Dream".

Wow, this better be a VC Arcade thing... If this is a full-blown disc title, then we'll see a slew of half-assed shovelware FMV shooters from the 90's with little or no updates coming to the Wii for the next year or two.

From the screens it looks like this it'll have more than we expect from the typical on-rails shooter. Still, until we see these shots in motion we won't know if EA got it right. Remember the terrible frame-pops in HotD:OK?

(insert typical US VC/WW gripes here)

...I was really hoping it would be worth my time to spend some points today...

@31

Um, SD Card?

@thblackdragon: Seriously man! This game can be played on paper! WTF!?!

@Ricardo: There is a cheat in the Genesis Pitfall that unlocks the Atari 2600 game!

It's good to know Activision is in the VC ring now... But I had 2000 points set aside for the U.S. release of Majora's Mask or SSB64. C'mon NOA!

Americans/Canadians... Let's get that petition going...

I don't want to wait for Silent Hill to have a great survival horror on Wii (RE4 is not a horror game, it's an action game).

@Sean

You know it! I've had some long discussions with my professor about where this all could go. The copyright laws have gone too far. that's for sure. In the states, it's Life+70years of the creator until made public (if properly registered, etc.). Now that is UNFAIR!

Also going to do some research on Technopop.... Wikipedia isn't much help. Lol. If anyone hasn't seen the brilliance that is Zero Tolerance (or the Beyond Zero Tolerance beta-sequel ROM floating around the tubes) I suggest getting it on a PC emulator. It was the first FPS for the Genesis, and a damned good one (better than Doom IMO).

@Atlantis

I know how you feel. But I'm pretty sure companies won't want to release these games if they are released with 10+ other arcade releases in that week. Kinda floods the market. I look back at my VC collection and realize I wouldn't have DLed half the stuff I have if some of the titles I've been waiting for were already availible.

@ Sean: Amazing article, very well written... With some great legal points. Thumbs up man.

I took a copyright class last quarter and it made my stomch sink about VC and how different the game-development scene is compared to 20+ years ago.

Anyone remember Zero Tolerance for the Megadrive/Genesis? Technopop, the company that made it, is dead. Somebody get on that "orphan works" act now!

Hey all, I've been meaning to make an account for the longest time. But I've always used hotmail and it was too much of a hassle to make a new email just for this site.

Anyways... Anyone remember that Konami was responsible for the old 4-P Simpsons arcade game? Is there hope!?!

^It sucks, my friend and I found The Simpsons arcade cabinet in a bowling alley yesterday... And only one of the player's buttons worked! It ate 3 of my quarters! I think Konami has to release it now so I never have to deal with a broken arcade cabinet ever again.
