The squatters are still out in force: it's now the "Product Service for Project GnOme"...

Wait, what? Pilotwings?

Double sided disc? How would that work?

Seriously, there's no way they were going to fit the three Prime games in 4.5 Gb, but they might in 8Gb ish. Hence, dual layered only folks. If your Wii can't read dual layer discs, consider taking up Nintendo's offer of a repair.

Hmm... looks a bit naff, to be honest.

Nintendo's reason for not including HD is probably along the lines of "how many bedrooms has HD TVs? Answer: not many". Alas, the Wii has proved extremely popular in living rooms, so that arguement is invalid. Still, anyone expecting a Wii HD before 2011 is, frankly, going to be extremely disappointed.

I wonder what Resi Evil on the 'Cube will look like with this upscaling emulator?

Good stuff. Untill the DSiWare completely lets the side down.

If I came on here earlier, I would have said "You're going to get slaughtered for that", but I'm obviously too late.

I've heard rumours that Natal will launch as part of a 360v.2 pack.

Which makes a lot of sense.

@20: T vs C getting a Euro and American release. Your point has been defeated.

Don't expect it any time soon, however: there's a PC version to be done first.

Judging ONM's record, that's a possibility.

That said, the website has a better record than the mag when it comes to predicting VC games.

And ten minutes later they get bashed for copying.

But seriously: PS2 vs N64? Wut?

Considering Sony's recent statements, it's pretty clear they've returned to their roles as the industry's photocopiers.

Good stuff. Hopefully us Europeans won't face a six month delay.

@49: No-one gets the logic of it. Unless they've run out of games to release, of course.

Considering the existance of Spotify, immem, Last.fm et al, I doubt it'll work at a profit. Presumably a prior shot to the 360's introduction of Last.fm.

That was quick. Good job.

Good review. Seems to be an intresting take on the "falling block puzzle". Of course, since I don't have a DSi (DS Phat 'til it dies. Or a pile of good DSi games arrive), I can't judge for myself.

Considering Super Metroid's secret ending (and Metroid's for that matter) it wouldn't be very new.

Also: Metal can't shake.

Judging by this comments section, it sounds like the dropped hardware would have been "The 3rd Pillar", or in other words the direct successor to the GBA and console that would do battle with the PSP.

I think the original intention was the DS to be a console to try out new things (e.g. Nintendogs, Kirby's Power Paintbrush etc.), while Nintendo releases a new, more powerful Game Boy to compete with the PSP. As it turned out, the DS wiped the floor with the PSP on release, and the new Game Boy was put on hold, and eventually scrapped.

@12: They've pratically confirmed 5 newcomers and 1 removed. They didn't want to officially confirm it (hence the revision), but that's what they said. Watch their forums for more confimation.

does not understand post 45

It'll be safe to assume that VC is now fortnightly, which sucks. Judgement on FF4:TAY is reserved untill all of the episodes are released. It's always nice to see some Art Style, but the apps are 100%, quadruple distilled shovelware.

I'll like to see what happened to Chibi-Robo: Park Patrol, however. Isn't Skip the developers for both Chibi-Robo and Art Style?

@37: Probably won't happen, as the developers have said that the DS can't handle the WoG engine (I think, I need to find that post...)

The words "how will that work?" come to mind.

@21: "Perfect Dark might stand a chance"

Yeah... on the 360.

Another Family game gets a universal kicking...

It makes me glad that they're stupidly slow in getting the PAL version released.

I half expect a WWW skin on the forum now.

Let me put it this way:

If Nintendo doesn't release one of their own games for VC next week, you'll probably be advised to lock the entire NintendoLife comments system. Either that or a threadmageddon will happen.

Either way, if Nintendo doesn't deliver, this site's going to get very messy.

@16: No, it means the folks in Codestorm House read Nintendo Life. Am I right?

Although how hard can tying an emulator, a ROM and an electronic manual together be?

Frankly, DSiWare needs all the games it can muster right now. Dumb move.

Frankly, I could have told you it sucked months ago. I wouldn't buy the sequel without consulting Metacritic first.

My favourite Pokemon game was Silver. I never really understood the appeal of Blue, but I got damn close to finishing Silver.

That said, exposure to Pearl pretty much confirms that I have well and truly fallen off the Pokemon bandwagon, so I'll probably pass this time round.

DSiWare looks like it should have been delayed for six months. Except for the inital flurry we have seen one, maybe two Actual Games.

Meh. 2 of 3 statements correct so far.

Shovel-ware, shovel-ware, how much we hate thee...

Frankly, not surprising. They've been hinting at it for months, and there's nothing stopping them, since it was 100% Rare, unlike GoldenEye.

Actually I just thought of something: why didn't Nintendo complain when, say, Banjo-Kazooie was released when they blocked any chance of GoldenEye being released...

3/10? Bit high, I think...

#20: No, but you'll need a SD card reader of some description. Buy an MP3 player with an SD card slot, that'll work.

Well, it's nice to know that the developers admitted there was a bug, unlike other developers...

#71: The odds of any of the above getting released next week in the US is slim to none. Except maybe Wii Sports Resort.

PAL, on the other hand...

Let's just say that these DSiWare "games" are shovelware of the highest order, I won't hold out for the Penguins game and we're (i.e. PAL region) probably get Super Mario Kart, Pilotwings and Beetle Adventure Racing first.

I get the feeling the some developers are thinking that WiiWare = iPhone/iPod Touch.

Don't ask why, DSiWare would probably be closer to the iPhone.

And now a controversial statement from a newb:

LittleBigPlanet is not innovative.

For a platformer, maybe. For a console game, maybe. But not Teh Most Innovative Game Evar.

Why? TrackMania did it all ages ago.

Game's default levels made with in-game editor? Check.
Ability to make any levels you like with said in-game editor? Check.
Ability to upload your own levels for everyone to download in both site form and in-game? Check.
Ability to download hundreds of thousands of tracks: some of which are very good (Moving Power, the two Trump Cards, King Of The Speed etc.). Check.

Admittedly, TrackMania didn't allow you to make moving objects, Garry's Mod-style. Oh...
