I don't know about you, but I'm actually looking forward to this...

Bplus is good at advertising and generating interest in their games. Making the games...not so good.

I'm sure this is a "DSi exclusive" to boost sales...

Honestly, that feature wasn't much of a big deal. I play Brawl online all the time, but I won't miss the watered-down "Nintendo approved" user stuff...

Klonoa was pretty good on the Wii! It was a little easy, but well worth the purchase. (The beginning and middle of the game were easy; the end tested your platforming skills.)

Let's see Klonoa 3 (and a Tomba wii-make)!

@Kizzi: Writing properly, especially when placing emphasis (ACCEPT not EXCEPT), will help in future arguments.

Please deliver...HVS. Hot Rod Show, Gyrostarr, and V.I.P. Casino: Blackjack were of questionable quality. Hopefully, The Conduit will be awesome; I have doubts.

p.s.
Soulcalibur on the Dreamcast was awesome!

@pixelman: Yes it kinda is...

I wonder how much this will play like Klonoa?

Why wouldn't Martin Hollis want GoldenEye on the VC? It would represent virtually zero work on his part and (depending on prior agreements) more money. This seems like a "no brainer" to me.

Did anyone play the re-created GoldenEye maps for Quake 2? They were awesome. (http://www.yeahdogg.com/quakeii)

After "Plattchen" and "NIki", I'm developing a bias against Bplus.

@Kirk: "One gimmick does not a great game make." Gimmick seems to be Bplus' thing.

I played the heck out of "Klonoa" for the Wii over the weekend and I have to agree with Corbie that it's a fun game! I love 2.5D platformers and hopefully we'll see a revival. Klonoa can be a shorter experience, but the item collection aspect of the game adds a little replay. The end of the game will definitely test your platformer skills. (Something that only the later levels of Super Mario Galaxy did...) Ok, NOW I'm asking for Tomba.

I wonder how much "Icarian: Kindred Spirits (WiiWare)" will be like this?

I played the heck out of "Klonoa" for the Wii and I have to agree with Corbie that it's a fun game! I love 2.5D platformers and hopefully we'll see the style of game experience a revival. Klonoa can be a shorter experience, but the item collection aspect of the game adds a little replay. The end of the game will definitely test your platformer skills.

I wonder how much "Icarian: Kindred Spirits (WiiWare)" will be like this?

I didn't know this was in the same series as Excitebike & Excite Truck. I just thought this was another "SPOGS". Maybe Nintendo should have promoted the "pedigree" a little more. (Or promoted the game...really.) So I guess we won't see Excite Train...

@Panda: Now there's another listing ($15 USD).

I definitely won't be getting this. It looks confusing and not-fun.

Not surprising considering there have been multiple re-designs.

@Adam: I love your comment!

@Kirk: They might...

I totally missed KLONOA on the first PlayStation, but based on this review (and that price) I'm going to go pick it up for the Wii. (and I'm still tickled at that TOMBA reference a couple days ago.)

(I'm not looking for TOMBA to return, it's just nice to see that it isn't forgotten.)

You'd rather all Nintendo events be in Japan?

This game was actually FUN and UNIQUE with the Bongo-controls. Without the bongos, Jungle Beat just sounds boring. The actual game levels weren't much so to remove one of the only things going for the title is not a good idea.

Aw, no flashlight? That sounded cool. I hated charging up that stupid lightsab...I mean beam katana.

Now take that extra time and make "Ghostbusters" for the Wii even better! Remember "Resident Evil 4" for the PS2?

I'm with Mr. Saturn on this one. I bet "Arc Rise Fantasia" (ARF?) will feel very similar to "Grandia II" for the Dreamcast.. The thing is...that game was awesome.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl is awesome game, fun, and very addicting.

This is their "fix"?

The dentist is obviously wrong. Good for Nintendo.

I'm buying this as soon as it hits a Nintendo platform.

I never played "Klonoa", but "Tomba" (PS1) was really cool, a little limited, but cool!

"Shanghai Noon: The Game" here we come!

I enjoy retro gaming more than the next guy, but I bought Bit.Trip:Beat as soon as it launched and I am very disappointed. Were my expectations too high? Maybe.

It's just very easy to miss some beats because the colors and and backgrounds are always moving and overlapping. Visually, it's confusing.

It's very reasonably priced. I was just hoping for something...fun to play. For now it'll sit there next to Niki Rock'n'Ball.

To answer the BTB programmer's question (osb1842)...I would say "marketing". If it weren't for WWW, I wouldn't know anything about BTB. Marketing, Marketing, Marketing. The whole Bit.Trip concept is cool, but might be a little "obscure" for the masses. This website does what it can to get the world out, but Nintendo isn't going to be much help in selling your games.

Do people really play Madden on the DS?

Looks like more "fun on a bun"!

"Mad Dog McCree" was one of the FMV shooters that I never played. (I played the heck out of "Ground Zero Texas", "Lethal Enforcers", and "Crime Patrol" though.)

@longtimegamer: Vitamins? Absolutely.

I think the "controversial" Super Meat Boy ad is humorous.

@BlueFlameBat: The part you have as "(unidentifiable)" is actually "I started so young".

"...policy that punishes earnest indie developers who have often made great personal sacrifices to release their wares on the WiiWare service..."
Uh, I wouldn't call the WiiWare Sales Threshold a "flagrantly unfair policy", but I do agree with your comment about marketing/demos.

"HotD: Overkill" is fantastic. I love on-rails shooters. They're arcade-y fun. I played a lot of "Lethal Enforcers" back-in-the-day (on the Genesis & Sega CD). Other than the dialogue being extremely not-my-style, I continue to enjoy "Overkill".

Wow this is lazy writing. Shoving all the games together so you only have to write one article? Wow. Would it really have been that hard to separate the games? (This site/These sites are going downhill faster than Sonic.)

Reminds me of "Earthworm Jim"...

Let's think about this: The game will come bundled with ONE MotionPlus add-on. Most people are excited about the multi-player "sword fighting" game which will require TWO MotionPlus add-ons. ...Inventory problem?

Ha ha ha "Kid Icarian"...nice.

And the review is.... ?

"I’m going to be up on stage presenting, something that your fans ought to love" Does she think we actually want to see her on stage? Or was she saying that we'd love the 'something'. Either way, what an ego!

@Bahamut ZERO: Not always...

@Dazza: Yeah, except you guys aren't doing anything about it. Enough already.

The LostWinds/NikiRocknBall child returns!

"...it didn’t make sense to have three different sites - all focusing on Nintendo - running separately. By fusing them together we will create a strong base from which to expand even further..."

So you think putting all your eggs in one basket is a stronger approach?

Wow, the Wii Update 4.0 is long overdue and a welcome sight. Although I'm more excited about the possibilities than the actual outcome, it's a step in the right direction. (I think it's a big step, but that's just me.)

Maybe now we'll see the "Arch Rivals" arcade classic! "Arch Rivals" was the most not-like-Basketball "Basketball" game I ever played.

We can hope...
