A great podcast this week. Glad my review got a mention, the Trailer-style summation was a pleasant surprise! Note: That wasn't actually me speaking, haha! And the Terminator music!
The first 4 games that come to mind when I think of SEGA at the moment are: The Conduit, House of The Dead: Overkill, Bayonetta and Madworld.
Of those 4 games, 3 are Wii Exclusive, 2 are being made by Western Developers and the two Japanese games are being made by the same developer, Platinium Games. Let's just hope that Sega's upcoming releases make a good dent in the sales charts, eh?
ONM (the UK 'Nintendo Power' of sorts) 'officially' said that no 'Kirby projects were in the works or planned'. Less than a month later, the Wii Kirby installment was announced. NOE are just clueless.
@Quimby You heard the man, get you brooms people, he called shenanigans!
Well, you heard the jerk. Nintendo CLEARLY doesn't want our money. Nope, seeing as how download space is something keeping us from downloading all the VC games we want (or can afford) and profits could be made on a hard drive. But sucks to be us! Brawl delayed 6 months for stupid reasons, reduction of the amount of games coming to the VC weekly and an incredibly slow rate of WiiWare games; Nintendo has made their European stance clear: too bad I'm not allowed to say it here.
That's pretty dispicable that Nintendo is just turning their back on their 'Come One, Come all' mantra for Wiiware. I don't want it to be full of Squeenix's "Not good enough for disc! Collection" games...
So, people that have experiance with Mobile phone games are fine, but people who have worked on GameCube games are a 'no-no'?
Whoa! Talk about a killer month! They get Metal Slug, Kirby AND RONDO. And they also have Wiiware! Let's just hope we see some of that support come to our shores!
If its half as good as Prof Layton's puzzles I'm sold.
But I hope the puzzles actually have something to do with the story, rather than a "Rotate these blocks and colour coordinate them to escape the monster" type of thing.

Re: Review: PDC World Championship Darts 2009 (Wii)
Great review, It really made my mind up about this game
Re: Review: House of the Dead: OVERKILL (Wii)
I'm really enjoying this game so far. The Handcannon was a good investment, if only for the novelty. I still have to read Prelude to Overkill though.
Re: Podcast: Episode 2
Prosody - Yeah, but the presentation was brilliant! You got my name spot on as well, thank you!

Re: House of the Dead: OVERKILL gets positive first reviews
Can't wait for it. Got my handcannon and Collector;s edition pro-ordered. Now I just wish they'd hurry up and announce House of the Dead 4 on the Wii!

Happy Birthday! It's been a hell of a two years!

Re: Strong Bad's Cool Game Delayed Until July
Well, If the game will be BETTER for it, Then I'm cool with that.
I've been waiting 3 years for a Homestar Runner Video game, I can wait 'til July. Besides, that means more Brawl time for us Europeans!
Re: Nintendo Barring Small Developers From WiiWare?
That's pretty dispicable that Nintendo is just turning their back on their 'Come One, Come all' mantra for Wiiware. I don't want it to be full of Squeenix's "Not good enough for disc! Collection" games...
So, people that have experiance with Mobile phone games are fine, but people who have worked on GameCube games are a 'no-no'?
That's downright non-sensical.
Re: US VC Releases - 26th May - Metal Slug
Looks like a good week for you guys! Metal Slug is great. If any of you like it, I'd recommend the Metal Slug Anthology on Wii.
Re: Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People - More media!
This game is going to be epic. I really hope they make more than five and release a 'Full Season Disc' ala Sam and Max.
Also, Anyone know if Samn & Max Season 2 is coming to the Wii?
Re: ESRB Update: EarthBound Finally Coming To Virtual Console!
Hooray! And I can't wait for Dr Mario and Gyrostarr too!
Re: Japanese Virtual Console list - April 2008
Whoa! Talk about a killer month! They get Metal Slug, Kirby AND RONDO. And they also have Wiiware! Let's just hope we see some of that support come to our shores!
Also, 17 games for 1 month?!?! That's immense!
Re: EU VC Release - March 21st - Sega Week - Mega Turrican
Lame.
Give us more games! DoReMi!
Re: US VC Releases - March 10th - DoReMi Fantasy
Cool, I hope these come to the UK/Eire next week.
Perhaps Nintendo could try to distract us with a Month of Japanese releases whilst the US enjoys Brawl?
Re: WayForward Developing Exclusive Horror Puzzle Title for WiiWare
If its half as good as Prof Layton's puzzles I'm sold.
But I hope the puzzles actually have something to do with the story, rather than a "Rotate these blocks and colour coordinate them to escape the monster" type of thing.
Re: First Official Images of the New Neo-Geo Stick for Wii
Cool, It really does look the part, but I hope it comes out in Wii White as well as black.
Re: Inside the Mind of Luc Bernard - Eternity's Child Interview
Great Interview, I didn't know there was going to be a film version.
Re: Do Re Mi Fantasy: Milon no DokiDoki Daibouken
Looks like great platformer. Might get it.
Re: Revamped Site is Now Live!
Site looks Great. Really Brilliant. Can't wait to start rating games! Liking the Daft Punk reference in the article.

Not Good, NOT GOOD!
Re: The Virtual Console Archive is One Today!
Happy Birthday dear VC-Reviews.... Happy Birthday to you!
Ah, I remeber first stumbling across VC-Reviews when I was researching the Wii for a Technology project at school. Memories...
Re: EU VC Releases - 16th November - Double Dribble
Oh Well, This week we got the distraction of a consoles lifetime to distract us from this.
