Never got into Partners In Time for some reason, yet at the same time Bowser's Inside Story is my favorite DS game. Partner's In Time isn't bad, it just wasn't great, IMO. I can sense how much you care.
Hmmmmm, don't know if I'll want the remote or not, I don't mind Motion+ itself all that much, and already have 2. But, I was already interested in FlingSmash, so I guess I'll be getting one anyway. And, ummmm, are we getting ANY new info on the game by the way? (aside from the possible bundle).
DSi and DSi XL INDIVIDUALLY topped all the other systems. That doesn't usually happen, usually you have to combine sales of both and even then its sometimes not passed the PSP, so the sales for this week were a huge achievement.
"...a staggering 2.6 million, making it the fastest selling game ever in Japan..." Didn't DQIX sell over 3 million first week?
I didn't realise there was confirmination about this. Wow!
Although I'm not getting too excited over "done." Remember the last time a very similar game also named Cave Story released for a Nintendo download service was said to be "done"?
Never played the original or anything, but judging from the reaction of everyone on this website combined with how awesome the trailer looked, this sounds awesome!!!
#4 for the month in USA? That's pretty good. Especially when you notice that NONE of the other console's versions are in the top 20. And then, who's going to buy something like this with minimal improvements two years in a row? Not a lot of people. And yes, Tiger Woods' behavior this year may have something to do with it as well.
I enjoyed Roadie Battle but it's unlikely I'll ever have that many people I can play it with anyway. I'm just sticking with Rock Band 3 this year. That's enough for me.
@Odnetnin Not only was M:OM not released until the last day of August (as has been said) but NPD does not usually run their charts from first day of month to last day of month. I believe that March, June, September, and December are the only months where the end date goes past the end of the month, all the other months end before the actual end of the month. So NONE of Metroid's sales figures are actually accounted for in here.
This is the same kind of gameplay that was also in Lego Rock Band last year. It was a lot of fun and I greatly enjoyed it, although the setlist was far too small (25 or so songs? Not enough).
Wow, nice job EA. Just don't even think about complaining "Hardcore games don't sell on Wii!!!!" using this game if it doesn't sell well. This is a maybe for me now (don't have a PS3 or 360).
Well, yeah, screenshot wasn't the right word, I just didn't know what to call it. But not that I look at it more, I see that now. It even has the rail that Commander Video travels along (at least I think that's what that is).
Have you made it past level 4 yet Corbie? If the levels are as long as Beat's (or any Bit.Trip before Runner) and there's more than 5 levels that would be awesome!
So, here's another question to speculate..... what was that original screenshot that they gave us supposed to be of..... it clearly has nothing to do with the gameplay...... OR DOES IT!??!?!?!!?!?!?!? SPECULATE!!!
Great impressions Corbie! Now, you say the levels are as long as they were the earlier Bit.Trip games, but you commented somewhere else (don't remember where......) that "the difficulty really ramps up at level 4." The earlier Bit.Trips only had 3 levels..... how long is this game?
EDIT: Never mind, those last 2 comments weren't there yet when I started typing.
Now, I know the game isn't even out yet, but, where are they going to go after this? They only have 1 game left after this, but where are they going to take it?
Didn't enjoy Prime Trilogy and haven't played any other Metroids but this does interest me. Maybe I'll try Prime again (never finished any of them) and try Super Metroid and see if I'm interested more. Fantastic review by the way.
Is there a US bundle too? If so, is there a cheaper version available with no remote for people who already have 4? Although, the B button on one of my remotes is sort of messed up (not broken, it works, it's just a bit annoying to use) so I suppose I wouldn't mind a new one......
I will probably get this regardless. It sounds like a lot of fun. I would normally wait and ask for this for Christmas, but with the whole family coming over for Thanksgiving, this might be a fun game to play with my cousins.

Re: Japanese DS Sales Spike Last Week in Mysterious Circumstances
@James Oh, I didn't realize it had been out for such a short time!
Re: Nintendo Turns 121 Years Old Today
And to think, their most successful time period would not be for almost 100 years after they opened.

They're right to care.

Re: First Impressions: Surinuke Anatōsu
Sounds (and looks.... just watched the video) pretty good!
Re: New Trailer for NBA Jam Remix Modes is Nothing But Net
I was on the fence because of the lackbof respect for Wii owners but this game sounds like too much fun. Besides, PS360 owners don't get these modes.

Re: Peter Moore Disappointed With Tiger Woods 11 Sales on Wii
Here's my thoughts: First off, last year's game (not this year's, last year's) sold very well. Check this out:

Re: BIT.TRIP FATE Revealed at PAX
@Corbie Do you have a demo of the game, and if so, how much is already there? Is it done already? (that would make me very happy ).
EDIT: Or are you just at PAX?
Re: BIT.TRIP FATE Revealed at PAX
This literally looks so amazing. I can't get over it.
Re: First Fluidity Video and Screenshots Released
IGN just posted some impressions and said that it controlls great.
Re: First Fluidity Video and Screenshots Released
Wow, that looks very interesting! I'll definetely keep my eye on this one.
Re: Movemodo is Officially Open for Business!
I'll pop in from time to time, but I don't have a PS3 so I definetely won't be a regular or anything.
Re: And Yet It Moves
I've been interested in this game, but didn't know whether or not to buy it. Hope I won!
Re: You'll be Shocked by Japan's Most Wanted 3DS Franchises
@JesusSaves You might be waiting a while, considering the DS is still more than $100 after close to 6 years......
As for the topic at hand, I'm shocked.
Re: Step to the Beat of the Lilt Line Website
I don't know what to think, but it looks fun anyway.
Re: King Dedede Returns in Latest Kirby's Epic Yarn Trailer

Re: BIT.TRIP FATE Teaser Image Released
I feel like this is going to be endlessly anylized by Bit.Trip fans, hoping to find some sort of clue about it.
Re: Nintendo Lays Out PAX Showing
No one commenting on Fluidity? All I'll say is that the premise sounds very interesting.
Re: Plants vs. Zombies Eyes Up DS, Licks Rotting Lips
I already have the iTouch version, so I don't think I'll be buying this unless there's some very good exclusive content.
It's only worth $20 if you don't already own it. (but people without iPhone/iTouch, it's worth it).
Re: New Sonic Wisp Power-Ups Help Sonic Hover and More
I'm cautiously optimistic.
Re: Nintendo Download: 20th August (Europe)
Even more Virtual Console for Europe. Wow.
And I enjoyed Furry Legends, even though a lot of people didn't.
