Names like these give Spectrobes a fighting chance.

Visual style over playable substance? I guess that makes this the Wii's Chrono Trigger. I still plan on playing this game for myself.

@NabucaCPM Yeah, our community is pretty sweet.

I thought these demos were better than the last batch because most of them didn't automatically spit you out into the Wii Shop Channel after they ended. AYIM was really cool. I want to know how it stacks up to Fluidity before I buy it.

This is just internet smut using DK as an excuse to watch women eat bananas -but if it helps kill the DK Rap I can dig it.

Disappointing is an understatement. If EA wants to be lazy why not just Wiimake Burnout 3 Takedown and call it good. I wonder if I'll ever see a real Criterion Games racer on the Wii now? @WaltzElf EA doesn't love the Wii either though does it?

How much does this bundle cost? If it's the same price as the other ones than this would be a serious deal, otherwise I'd skip it.

@xDemon720x Trust your instincts.

@Ian_Daemon Anyone who's watched the Activision teaser trailers for GoldenEye can't deny their marketing plan to hype this game off of Rare's past success. But it wouldn't be doing so well if it wasn't also a good game.

@brainofj Games with all that mature content also need to be good. I'm grateful Wii owners aren't so desperate for games as to buy anything that's presented to them.

@Caliko You can forget about the Nintendo conspiracy theories. Metroid: Other M was just a disappointing hardcore game for a lot of people. Even dyed-in-the-wool Metroid fans have hated playing this one. Some of them happen to be reviewers.

The problem lies with Yoshio Sakamoto. The writing was terrible and the 10 hour game is too short to make up for it. It's not worth fifty dollars or even thirty dollars. If there was ever a game you should rent instead of buy, this is it.

I'd wait for Nintendo to make a "Wii Slim" with more internal memory before buying anything.

Too bad I'm tapped out.

@Raylax That would be Namco. It's Pac-Man's 30th Birthday and he's getting a party.

Insta-rent!

@SirGreatNose I don't want a Revolution. I rent games instead of buying them all the time. Besides I love using Gamestop to try and destroy developers. That's where I pawned off my copy of Little King's Story.

@Marioman64 Terranigma never made it to the USA due to it sucked.

@LightSamus "not for casual gamers"? -I think Nintendo telling it's base not to buy their stuff could be a problem for them.

And if anyone wants to protest the Super Guide you can buy Sonic Colors. Reviewers have said it can be frustratingly difficult and there is no way to skip levels.

I wasn't planning on downloading it anyway but $20 is a perfectly acceptable price for a WiiWare disc release.

Oh, bollocks. I already bought Zombie Panic and hated it. These downloads were just a little too late.

Totally awesome. Now save the Tunas and save the Dolphins.

Portable gaming has long been Nintendo's baby; and iPhones truly are the real competition, because everyone will carry a phone but they'll leave the PSP/Gameboy behind -you can only carry so much.

@83 There's been a lot more third party support for the Wii than with previous Nintendo systems and I think this has been their best year ever. I'd hate to see them shut down the Wii just when it started to get good.

I knew I should have waited to buy a Wii. Really sad they aren't going to at least sell the red Wiimote plus separately.

Great interview. Downloading this game just isn't enough for me now. I want to manage my own team of real life roller girls.

I say lads, this racing game looks smashing, but I'm manic over how long I've been waiting for it. Now I'm more snashter on Need for Speed:Hot Pursuit. I don't know if it'll be online but I'm sure playing it will be just as fun on my billy tod.

@hulklol123456789 I don't mind buying a short game either but not at the price they're asking for.

@SuperJim64 They have evolved into awesome games like Dreamfall.

It isn't iffy-it's classic. Anyway, I hope that girl with the helmet or the one in the cape are chosen. They'd fit in best with the MM Legends world, since they both look like scavengers.

There's like 7 billion people on Earth and just under 100 million Wii's sold worldwide... Somewhere, someone isn't playing enough Nintendo.

What if I smash it with a hammer and call tech support after the "accident"? They'll move my old games over to a new red Wii, won't they?

I'm not stoked. Konami, Marvel, and Activision just made a deal to release that 90's arcade game X-Men for Xbox Live Arcade. I feel like the Wii could be getting more from Capcom.

Oh, man! That was the color I wanted... before I discovered it only came in white. Looks like my brother is getting a slightly used Wii for Christmas.

@PSICOffee Totally. This is just like the time they launched the GBA only to release a better back lit one soon after.

1500 Wii points wasn't unexpected and it's not price gouging. As for the episodic content-I'm not a fan, but it didn't stop anyone from buying Final Fantasy the After Years or SBCGFAP, and it won't stop them this time. Don't hold your breath for a Wii disc release because it isn't coming. If there was a $50 disc version everyone would buy it used or on clearance but a WiiWare price is set in stone. That's good business.

@lockelocke Thanks for the link. I'm not surprised I've never heard of the "video game crash" they should instead call it the "death of Atari". Doesn't every system usually tank at the 5 year mark? Nowadays isn't that what makes a company market a new system like 8 bit to 16 bit, 16 bit to 32 bit, and so on?

They didn't know where to start with a 3d Metroid so it's a good thing they didn't. It would have been a bad game. Just look at Castlevania 64. Not every game has made the transition from 2d to 3d as easy as Mario.

@SilverBlacktail Great Video Game Crash? What are you talking about? Mr. Kojima is just doing a bit of hero worship for Nintendo's Birthday. Mario isn't responsible for inventing video games, or saving video games, it didn't even make video games what they are today. If it wasn't for steady competition forcing Nintendo to evolve they would still be making 8-bit adventures right now. The Virtual Console is their dream come true.

Keep Team Ninja and make the game longer than 10 hours. Also I think Mr. Sakamoto is a gifted story teller but why not hire some help to write it?

All I remember about the NES is having to blow the dust out of the game cartridges over and over before they would play. Good times.

GoldenEye was awesome on N64 but back then they were competing against games like Faceball 2000. GoldenEye could be a great game again but it won't be as good as it was. I wish someone would remake Deus Ex for Wii.

I love double-dipping.

If you were looking for a reason to buy Enjoy Your Massage!, I guess this is your lucky day.

Red Steel 2 should fail. It's exactly like Metroid Prime and everyone already owns that. I was excited for this game before I saw this. It looks like Cybertron Adventures and I don't like Time Crisis games.

That's great news! I mean if you can't trust the guy who's being paid to make the game, who can you trust?

I come from a long line of Massage Therapists. I've heard some crazy stories. They should have made this game more outrageous AND more educational. Just like Endless Ocean; you could have rubbed people to learn their information and try to avoid potential predators like Al Gore.

@accc "PSX graphics?" Yeah, maybe. Except if this was on PSX the loading would be 20x longer than any of us remember and everything on the horizon would be completely black. I'm not excited for this, but with Wiiware's limited file size I wouldn't expect anything too ambitious.

I knew there was a reason Zelda kept Link at arms length. He just seemed way to content living on the road with his sword. If they write in a love triangle with the Skyward Sword this will be the craziest video game ever.

I love Sonic Adventure but I'm not much for sequels. The only platformer I've been excited about since Psychonauts is Epic Mickey. I'd pre-order Sonic Colors to get that stupid hat though.

Warsong, Langrisser 2, Valis 3.
