You see that EA? That was basically the loss of the EA Sports Wii fanbase (if there ever was one). I can hear the 360/PS3 fanboys laugh at us now across the internet!
Way to throw away a perfectly good advantage for the Wii, EA! What a scam! People were looking forward to this! O.O
Were you guys that scared of your underperforming EA Sports titles on Wii that you had to scam all of us into thinking you really cared? Jeez!
Look at Activision with the GoldenEye remake! Do you see them excluding online play? Hell no. Do you see them going behind the fans' backs to put in a smaller version on other consoles, while touting it as exclusive? NO. So what did they do right? They kept to their word and most importantly, THEY GAVE THE FANS WHAT THEY WANT.

I'll say this. I like NBA Jam on Wii. I have grown up on both of the NBA Jam games on the N64 made by Acclaim (Jam '99 and Jam 2000). Seeing it return in its original form is bliss, but.... It's a kick in the nuts because we live in the age of online multiplayer gaming but if they are really trying to bring back the old 4-player local multiplayer scene then it isn't really working out for them. (Nintendo has done it quite a number of times, and it had some mixed results, though it's more positive.)
Well, I'll give NBA Jam about 3 or 4 months then we'll probably see a price drop. Hopefully.
Definitely a favorite of mine (until it got lost...), but it is indeed a great Star Fox title, though those multiple endings looked to put a nail on the series' coffin.
At least I know I'll be getting Star Fox 64 3D when it comes to relive the glory days.

Re: Resident Evil: Revelations Uses a Version of Capcom's MT Framework
Well, I knew this way back but I'm thankful for the screens.
PSP's coffin has just been nailed thoroughly.

This is how you treat Mario on his birthday? BAH!
Re: Review: Music On: Acoustic Guitar (DSiWare)
I have a guitar and I'm going on fine.
This is skippable.
Re: Review: Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions (Wii)
Ah, okay score. I hope you guys do a DS version review.
Re: Mario Collection Special Pack Coming to Japan
Well, if there's no NA date, might as well head on over to Play-Asia.
Re: Review: Despicable Me: The Game (Wii)
Meh. Never thought this would be big.

Re: And Yet It Moves Competition Winners
Congrats to the winners!
Lucky buggers!
Re: Features: We Want Your NES Stories!
Well, I never played on an NES until '98 (I was 5, then). My uncle and cousins loved the old console. I already sent in my bit to N-Life.
Re: Billy Mitchell Was Never the Donkey Kong Jr. Record Holder
Aha! Billy Mitchell got punked by Twin Galaxies! WIN
Re: Billy Mitchell Was Never the Donkey Kong Jr. Record Holder
@JumpMad: Making them, I don't think so. But they're around. Scope out eBay, you should see the asking prices!
Re: Nintendo Download: 10th September (Europe)
Physio Fun looks alright, but seeing the price, it better be a damn good WiiWare application.
Re: Practise Your Balancing with PHYSIO FUN Tomorrow
Lot of money, but it will be beneficial to the target audience.
Re: Review: Batman: The Brave and the Bold (DS)
Great game indeed.
I never watched the show much but it's good.
Re: Tecmo Finally Masters the Single Entendre with Dead or Alive: Dimensions
Nice. More info is slowly coming in.
Ninjas and boobs go hand-in-hand. I'm still surprised if that motion boob jiggle was actually implemented.

Looks great!

Bullet hell?!? Now that is awesome!
Re: Original GoldenEye Designer Suspicious of Wii Publisher's Eye for Gold
@Corbie: (rimshot)
On-topic: I really hope it succeeds, EA had a lame revival and I really hope that this is it.
Re: Review: Custom Robo Arena (DS)
By the way, I bought it used at Gamestop for like 10 bucks.
Re: Review: Custom Robo Arena (DS)
I just knew you would review this.
I was very lucky in June when I went on Wi-Fi and found one person lingering about.
Good review, Terra.
Re: Movemodo is Officially Open for Business!
Move is actually warranting interest, and I'm liking more than the buggy Kinect.
So I guess Movemodo is the "good looking" cousin, and Kinectaku "the weird" relative no one knew about.
Re: And Yet It Moves
Okay, I entered! Good thing I knew a little Italian from a friend!
Re: Conduit 2 Hits Intergalactic Turbulence, Delayed Until 2011
It's for the best. Two new shooters in November, no way the Conduit 2 can compete and win.
Re: Double Up in Sonic Colours Co-Op Multiplayer
What about Tails?
Wasn't he in the trailer too?
Re: You'll be Shocked by Japan's Most Wanted 3DS Franchises
I knew the Japanese would want a Dragon Quest for 3DS.
Blech on Final Fantasy.
Re: Rare Reveals Nintendo Wanted to Cancel GoldenEye
Wow, some paradox there.
Re: Review: Metroid: Other M (Wii)
Oh wow, 100 comments in less than 24 hours!
Superb!
Anyways, this is a fantastic review and this should be the one that pushes undecided buyers to get it.
Re: Review: Metroid: Other M (Wii)
Either I get this on Saturday or I wait until the holidays.
Re: Now You Can Follow Shantae Wherever You Are
Yay, Shantae is following me!
And Graveheart, are you nuts?! Putting her against the WWE?
I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE. O.O
Re: Nintendo Download: 30th August 2010 (North America)
Oh well, moving along!
Re: Twilight Princess with High Res Textures Looks Fantastic
Wow, looks beautiful.
Re: Fan-Made Zelda MMO in Early Stages of Development
@Mickeymac: Me too. (hi-fives)
Re: Wii Party Could be One of Nintendo's Top Earners
I have three remotes, 1 with the console, 1 store-bought, 1 from Wii Play.
I'm prepping for a fourth now.
Re: Fan-Made Zelda MMO in Early Stages of Development
Nintendo Special Lawyer Team ASSEMBLE!
Though this would be cool.
Re: BIT.TRIP FATE Teaser Image Released
I see Runner City in the background!
Re: Review: And Yet It Moves (WiiWare)
Great review Jon. I totally want this.
Re: Gunpei Yokoi Gets The Legacy Treatment
Yokoi, an idol, a legend, an inspiration to all.
R.I.P. and it's about time they honor his legacy!
Re: Guilty Gear Spin-Off Side-Scrolling Its Way to DSiWare
I'm sorry, I couldn't help but hearing a record scratch in my head.
Re: Podcast: NLFM Episode 8: Have You Heard Captain Falcon's Theme Song?
Freaking awesome podcast, Jon.
And you tossed in an Anamanaguchi track? WIN
Re: Nintendo Download: August 23rd (North America)
LOL @ MasterGraveHeart (Psst... Holiday 2010!)
Anyways, good update today, I'll see if I can get points for Rytmik and the G.G Series game.
Re: Nintendo Download 25th August 2010 (Japan)
Wow. This is small.
Re: Review: Divergent Shift (DSiWare)
Ah, I guess I'll take a look at this later on.
Great review Corbie.
Re: Nintendo's Q4 Schedule Outs BIT.TRIP FATE
Jeez, Nintendo, couldn't you keep a secret?
This looks a bit dim for anything 3DS-related.... Something is screaming "December is 3DS month!" in my head for some strange reason.
Re: Nintendo Download: 16th August 2010 (North America)
All I can say is that the only thing thing good-looking here is Divergent Shift/Reflection.
Somehow I'm glad I took time off from making DSi Shop update videos for my YouTube channel due to some of these lackluster releases.
Also, thank God Rytmik is coming next week. I may not have points for it (yet) but it's on my list.
Re: Review: Star Fox Command (DS)
Definitely a favorite of mine (until it got lost...), but it is indeed a great Star Fox title, though those multiple endings looked to put a nail on the series' coffin.
At least I know I'll be getting Star Fox 64 3D when it comes to relive the glory days.
Also, great review Terra!
Re: Reflection Flips Name to Divergent Shift Before Release on Monday
Glad I broke the news on forums first.
Too bad it was forgotten.
Re: Gaijin Games Tease Fifth Game in BIT.TRIP Series
BIT.TRIP FRAG sounds like it.
I think that PSA is giving a hint somewhat.
Re: Review: Absolute Chess (DSiWare)
Yep... another DSiWare phase.
First it was Sudoku, then Solitaire then Chess.
I'll gladly pass, since I have Clubhouse Games.
