I am happy waiting for this game, for as long as it takes. I really hope Nintendo do not give into the pressure to release this title before it has been made perfect.
Hopefully tomorrow will see the appearance of new characters too...
I remember playing the metal slug games when I was a kid. Me and my best mate used to spend all our money trying to complete them. I might have to get this game now...
I was expecting this to be confirmed sooner or later. Too many people play as Samus for Nintendo to ax the original from the game. I am really eager to see who the other mystery characters are. If Nintendo managed to get Sonic then many gamers dreams will be coming true soon.
This game does hold a small fraction of my interest at the moment. But I really do want to see how the controls work; that video did not really demonstrate much.
I work in GameStation, so I will know soon enough. I don't think it would make too much sense to merge the companies into one unit. Game and GameStation are distinctly different and appeal to different kinds of gamers.
The friend code system is really letting Nintendo's online service down. The amount of friends I have yet to add to my Wii because no one can remember their code is silly.
Goodness knows why they could not have gamertags like Microsoft have done. That seems to work fine and there have been no issues with the system.
I do agree about the visuals, the battles do look like the GBA versions. Still, there seems to be quite a chunk to this game, and I think players should be occupied for quite a while.
Hopefully this will mean more formats coming to the system soon. I wish Nintendo would get Gameboy games onto the VC as well- that would be rather awesome.
I would love Okami on the Wii! I try to avoid funding Sony - not cause I don't like them, just cause I like to root for the underdog.... quite literally in this case
I think people currently are not buying into the PS3 because there just aren't enough killer apps out this year. Off the top of my head I cannot think of any truly awesome looking game out this year... thats just disgraceful.
Wii will be outselling the 360 at the moment because its a new machine. Time will tell if the demand drops lower than the 360's.
Tennis- This one has me a little dissapointed as, like Masterless, I am finding it hard to aim in the game.
Golf- Is probably the Wii sports game I have played the least. However I am rather impressed with it, the physics are great.
Boxing- Well, what can I say? This game is fantastic, I love it to bits. The controls arnt the greatest but its just awsome to slug away at your Wii
Bowling- It's quite cool and probably the most accurate of the sports games. I just feel though that there isint really much to it and I can't play it over and over.
Baseball- This is by far the longest of the Wii sports games and probably the hardest! I still havn't gotten myself a home -run, not to mention the fact I always seem to lose
Overall I think Wii sports is great concidering its bundled inside the Wii. There should be some way to compare acheivements online with friends though. You know like, I got x in bowling or x total home runs on my system. Stuff like that would be fun to have.
I hope they get rid of custom characters and bring back the old cast. SSX 1-3 were awsome games because of the character personalities and interactions.
I don't have high hopes for the franchise, but it would be awsome to see them top SSX3 in terms of greatness.

Re: Review: Metal Slug Anthology
Love the review, the lead in was fantastic!

Re: Wii Is The Stage Of History
I just hope Link is in this title!
Re: Iwata To Satisfy Hardcore Gamers
if those three titles do indeed make it out this year, then Nintendo will be in the money.
Although I am really interested to see what happened to titles like Disaster Day of Crisis and Project Hammer.
Re: Suited Samus Enters The Brawl?

Re: GAME Aquires Gamestation
Yeah, I think that how it is.
I work in GameStation, so I will know soon enough. I don't think it would make too much sense to merge the companies into one unit. Game and GameStation are distinctly different and appeal to different kinds of gamers.
... and I like the image comment Ant
Re: Review: Final Fantasy III
Yeah, it is a love it or hate it kind of franchise.
I have been playing the US version of FFIII for a while now and I totally agree with the review. It is an awesome game!
Re: Wii's Friend Code Woes
Yeah, per game is rubbish.
The friend code system is really letting Nintendo's online service down. The amount of friends I have yet to add to my Wii because no one can remember their code is silly.
Goodness knows why they could not have gamertags like Microsoft have done. That seems to work fine and there have been no issues with the system.
Re: Review: Pokemon Diamond & Pearl
Good review!
I do agree about the visuals, the battles do look like the GBA versions. Still, there seems to be quite a chunk to this game, and I think players should be occupied for quite a while.
Re: Review: Dead 'N' Furious
Great review!
I had my reservations about this game at first. But 8/10 is an impressive score!
The DS has too few shooters out there. The concept can obviously work, I just hope more developers start bringing them out.
Re: Worms Back For Another War
With online play, this could be a really decent game!
Re: Review: Theme Park DS
This brings back memories. I would have brought this one, if I hadn't played the PC version to death ^^'
Re: Super Mario Galaxy Japanese Release Date
I cannot wait until this game is out!
Roll on Christmas!
Re: Neo Geo Coming To Virtual Console!
Wa-hay!
Hopefully this will mean more formats coming to the system soon. I wish Nintendo would get Gameboy games onto the VC as well- that would be rather awesome.
Re: Review: Super Paper Mario
Great review! I am really tempted to go buy this game now ><'
Re: Review: SSX Blur
I like the game, but you are spot on about the Ubertricks. Also, they should have given the characters personality- like in the old SSX titles.
Re: Guitar Hero III Wii Bound
I never quite understood the obsession with this game. I much prefer something like Donkey Konga.
Re: Mario Strikers Charged Goes Online In May!
Ok, this game just became a lot more appealing than it used to.
I hope Nintendo improve on their online services first though.
Re: US Virtual Console Releases - 2nd April 2007
AWESOME, just simply awesome!
Re: April Fools Round Up
hah, gotta love April fools!
Re: Nintendo Stars = Wii Points?
I would love it if that was the exact translation of Wii points! Although I somehow think it will be something like 2:1.
Re: Sonic And Mario Team Up
I am not too eager about this game, true.
But to me it means that the chances of Sonic being in SSBM are a lot higher!
Re: Wii Loop Machine
Heh, some people are rather dedicated to Wiimote experiments.
Re: Review: Diddy Kong Racing DS
I think I might have to buy this game. I loved the original and it sounds close enough to merit a purchase.
Good review!
Re: GDC: Super Mario Galaxy Trailer!
Re: Tomy Vs. Ninendo
Tomy should try and see if they can make some Nintendo toys. That way everyone would be a winner
Re: Japanese Only Games Could Get Worldwide VC Launches
I would love to see the original Fire Emblem games come onto the VC over here. That would be so awesome if Nintendo did that!
Re: Wii Sports Replacements Almost Complete
Golf, Tennis and Boxing I would get.... providing they are all decent games. Bowling and Baseball, Wii sports will cover me just fine.
Re: Review: Cooking Mama
Its quirky and good for short bursts. I don't think people will buy into this and expect a deep game.
I agree with the score though. Still worth buying if you like quirky games (especially as you can import for £13).
Re: Okami Heading To Wii?
I would love Okami on the Wii! I try to avoid funding Sony - not cause I don't like them, just cause I like to root for the underdog.... quite literally in this case
Re: Fight Night Could Be Coming To Wii...
Fight Night Wii has to be done, it would rule!
Re: Mario Party 8 Details
I am quite eager about this game now, its going to rock!
Re: Review of Elite Beat Agents
Personally I think EBA was nowhere near as good as Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan (it's Japanese counterpart).
Re: Wii Prototypes
Well, I am glad those ones were never released. None of them look easy to use.
Re: Sony Says Wii Are Impulsive, You Say...
I think people currently are not buying into the PS3 because there just aren't enough killer apps out this year. Off the top of my head I cannot think of any truly awesome looking game out this year... thats just disgraceful.

Re: SSX Blur Cover Art
Skiing didn't work in the last game, I just couldn't get the feel to it.
They should stick to boarding, even though skiing is for the pros
Re: SSX Blur Cover Art
The mystery to me is the few games I have with purple triangles (they are GC ones, and PAL too).
But nice cover art, I just hope the game is as good!
Re: SSX Blur Demo Video
I hope that this title will live up to the first 3 SSX's, imo the last one was a bit of a letdown.
Re: Nintendo Controller Wins Emmy Award
I do muse at how they make the Wii controller and get an award for the NES controller.
Re: Nintendo NOT Recalling Wrist Straps
Smash bros wont use the Wii-Mote, classic controller for that game.
Re: Wario Ware Debut Set For January
I think Rayman will be all the mini game action that I require over Chistmas. Wario would have been better as a launch title imo
Re: Zelda DS: Delayed, Zelda Wii: In Development
Doh! Thats a bit of a shame to hear about the delay ><'
I hope the new Zelda (EDIT: yes I do mean the Wii one) is another proper title and not one of those 4-Swords style games.

Re: Are Nintendo Copycats?
Hah, you have to laugh at all these greedy companies trying to make easy money at the expense of others.
Naturally this case will fail and after that I hope the company goes bust. Karma.
Re: Sony Patents Wii Remote Style Device
If its a good idea, copy it (obviously within reason). At the end of the day gamers will benefit from the added R&D poured into motion sensing games.
Nintendo will always be the ones that got there first though
Re: Game Head Reveal SSX Blur
I hope they get rid of custom characters and bring back the old cast. SSX 1-3 were awsome games because of the character personalities and interactions.
I don't have high hopes for the franchise, but it would be awsome to see them top SSX3 in terms of greatness.
Re: Wii Go Online Second Quarter Of 2007
I so hope one of the games he is refering to is Smash Bros Brawl!
Re: Reggie Talks Mii And MMORPG
/me bets Animal Crossing will be online and use Mii's
