@Clayfrd: yeah really! with SONY v. Sega, they'd lost their main financier and benefactor [ who left the company part of his estate]. unfortunately, the debt was too much and sales were too fickle at the time leading up to the sell off to Sammy [who'd purchased it for around $640 million USD] the new CEO(sega-sammy) reformed/destroyed alot of the talent at Sega! [different sonic team, no more Smilebit, Am2, or Mizuguchi, ect.]

sooo, SONY [who continues to fund new ideas/talent] will always be around.

don't think there can really ever be another good 'Sonic' game.. not this decade anyway lol [though ♥ sonic adventure 1+2/pocket adventure for ngpc]

which goes back to the original subject.. lol nintendo is maybe afraid of investing in anything that wouldn't bring immediate return sooo, dumb things like DSi's 'implications' [double the wii points/ no back-WPA-support/ + most of all, puzzles forever lol].

@^{^^}: hmmm, expect alot of price gouging 。|

@ [all the good points raised] we al get it, so why doesn't Nintendo?! they should've discontinued[or, phased] DSLite altogether a while ago! for a 'smaller' company, they're way less agile than the 'bigger' ones. and region locked hardware?! couldn't even imagine a region-locked psp lol DSi seems kind of dumb and with no back-WPA support.. rant rant rant lol maybe one day nintendo will realize quality ideas often doesn't mean spending more $,¢,¥,฿,S₣, or € !!!! [though, doubt they will]

@Clayfrd: as for sonic, with sega-sammy, wouldn't count on quality.. did u know yu suzuki isn't even there anymore?!?! (r.i.p. sega)

hmm.. too little, too late. maybe nintendo is taking the 'right' direction by stalling on so many things, but the maybe the best direction has more to do with communication skills + r&d than cheap tactic.. VC:bored, Wiiware:singular, with few exceptions WiiMusic: personally, disappointing.. not sure of the importance of vgs anymore lol convince us!

r the extras made by PIXEL himself?

edit: COOL!

enjoy, EU! likd these two alot [--tho, u should get them the same time US did! sry for complaining again lol]

@whalleywhat: agree 100%! they could have some of their R&D (at least) make their pick [,or suggest] for VC! that would prob. never b boring!

@Bensei: read them. at the time pettiness didn't find them sufficient but, point taken. thnk u!

@puresthatred: wouldn't want to see ReArmed on Wiiware - the PS3demo alone is def too big! they should release the orginal on VC, especially with the possibility of the BC sequel being released on the Wii!!!!
ReArmed may b an 'acquired' like! lol liked the scale of the game alot, + the character-graphic is [☆☆☆☆☆]!

@Mickeymac: Rearmed looks so diff. from the original! personally wouldn't mind playing them back to back.also, nintendo slips M-content every once and awhile(NoMoreHeros,MadWorld, ect.) alot of times seems 'forced' or 'deliberate', --but, probly just another opinion!

edit: ☆s, copy+pasted. the line,not even sure. lol

actually, nintendo would never approve BionicCommando on VC, --it was written about months ago! that's sad.. bcause BC:Rearmed is AMAZING!!!! just played it! nintendo seems so.. !

lol well, what else would you expect from nintendo?! they're suffocating the Wii/VC.

typical nintendo! not much for coordination.

very!

@North99 [+ ttplayer92]
entirely justified! [though, the EU/US classics could b more abundant]

nintendo doesn't seem very interested... their focus should b on good gameplay + service, but VC is kind of..umm..."

some Wiiware is interesting, though 1 would imagine they would not only take more 'risk'(whatever that means), but also 'nurture' dialog w/ Develpers/ect!
there's obviously NO shortage of 'value' around.. Wii shouldn't b its graveyard! lol unfortunately, they'll probly never 'get it' .

too little, too late!
too many problems
too little/weak content! lol

looks better than imagined!

compared to other games back then, neo geo could have probly been the ps3 of its time!(in terms of graphics) remember this same machine was capable of playing KOF'99! --imagine if it were made n '93! lol

100% amazing 2D!!!! (not often come by lately) doubt nintendo will go for it though... these games r just too good! lol .. wish that were a joke!

lol why care what it comes out on? a console dosen't [neccessarly] improve it's worth by 'exclusivs'. ...alitle dissapointd about NES-2D. it's a good idea, but it should top MetalSlug! or GuiltyGear! that'd b interesting! there's not much 'quality' 2D around... cool game anyway!

@Luc: thanks for such a cool game! sry nintendo's so dumb... i'm really kind of done with them! but i'll want to play EC, soo.. lol

lol semantics! bad service will continue, unfortunately....

either fake or nintendo is revealing more of their crappiness! lol

this actually seems cool!

lol the problem isn't just the words, but the bad service! the rest is completely useless. --he shouldn't have SAID anything.

this is indicative of much of the probs. with nintendo. they seem so out of touch with alot of things! they should take that word out of "touch-generation"! it's obvious that they're going to have to fire alot of ppl lol nintendo won't be around for long like this, --nor should they. how do they expect to attract anyone with such bad service?! after ppl stop paying attention to the commercials/hype, then what? they're pretty bad at everything lol + for what? laziness?! they seem like they have no idea, --the same company that invented the current game controller+most video game models! they might have to do some "cleaning" soon + practice "partnering"/general service skills. the wii should be the most inviting for developers+customers alike! feel pretty bad for ppl who own a wii. even at its price, it wasn't such a good investment...not that nintendo even care lol

@ Manicfatty - - lol i ♥ dreamcast too!! it's the perfect example of where wii[or any console] could have gone (imagine dc+sega_channel!) in terms of [definitely] gameplay (+ online was good too!) i thought it was perfect. Sega had so many good ideas! sonic adventure, jet set/grind radio, chu chu rocket, shenmue , skies of arcadia, house/typing of the dead--so many!!! --not to mention the VMSystem [which would have gone on to become the ipod of its day actually!] unfortunatly....amongst other things, they lost their main financier... --but, i don't want to stur up too many bad memories! sorry! lol

*my advice: MGs/PS3bundle ---get it!!!!! you defntly won't be disappointed!
though i hope nintendo would 'step it up'... who knows! (most doubt it). most ppl who own a wii will probably get a xbox or ps3 -- of these, xbla is excellent! but long-term wise ps3 is the better investment! [or, maybe i'm just partial to scei lol]

PeTETION*This has been my main 'rant-point'!!! --worldwide releases should be the norm! region-lockd content/ect. is so jarring + far outdated. i would think, for a something up against 2 very[umm...]CAPABLE products, they'd focus customer service + general public/client relation. nintendo seems so oblivious to what they're up against, --why?! they have/had so much potential.
[maybe they should study apple!!!!]

• 1st thing i noticd: wiimote,2AA batteries?! that makes very little sense to me, but alright.
• VC:about maybe 5 games i'd buy! where's WWF or BattleFrenzy/Bloodshot?
• retail content: 90% coasters. why so many playable DS games, but hardly any for the Wii!? --i'm overboard! lol nintendo, consider this a warning. we like you, but ppl will look elsewhere! what if psn ever released Mainichi_Issho [lol a personal interest of mine] ] to EU+US?! then what?! be careful --the end.
  [thnks for the edit, lol]

happy wiiware day, europe!!!

i wish nintendo were more focused. -memory/energy storage should have been addressd at least 2nd quartr of release --VC is lacking. they should let UK purchase from US + US from JP ect. it is 'Points' after all, the currency is the same!!![?]

4 games?! that should b the standard

most Happy WiiDAY, S.Korea!!!!

very cool!! expect SDcard sales to shoot up 1000% lol

ohh i kno they turn off, herander. i'm just too used to Ps3 maybe lol but i really like Wii's potential!! those chargers r pretty good, but i was saying/imagining rather than forcing ppl to buy all the extra items, they should prob come with them. a nice alternative, to save power (mine takes awhile to shut off), would b a "control-off" option. recharging is too much for impatient ppl like me, i guess lol

ah i kno, Charco --it really sucks!!! i hope they gain some competence n this area very soon, --instead of trying to find new ways to Charge ppl for their content. its completely backwards. +, at least, 3-4 games a week dammit!!!! what if iTunes were like this?!?! would there still b 1?! lol

+very good idea!!!to ad a bit:
i'd like (don't shoot me) Earthbound/mother1,2,+3 --though a DS release may work!
also, the "japan-only" rpgs would b optimial. imports r extremely desireble. a good game is worth more than whatever one plays it on, "new" +/or "old"

a CartoonNetwork deal would b great for the US!!!!! their range of content is,imho, perfect!(though i hope futurama would b available still lol) i'd[maybe]like to c a separate channel for that though -- whatever fits viewing better! +,while i'm demandng, while there should b battery packs(rechargable) n "wiimotes", an option to turn them OFF when not n use (such as when viewing iPlayer, ect.) would b cool too! lol

"How about putting out a wreslting game since there zero on the VC."- -YES! Raw +/or SuperBrawl plz!!!+when is US/EU getting
Pulseman?!?! though, it is cool to see SMS+C64 released.
also, they really need to consolidate all the VCs! like on ps3, if u have the ¥ or the €s for it, you can actually purchase/play XI[sai] or Echochrome[+ demos] from psStores abroad!! nintendo dosen't seem serious!! wiiware/vc, miichannel,+dscompatibity should al b developed alot more! what about a MarioPaint?! thats a major disconnect/wound for nintendo, imho.

like others, i must say: on 1 hand it can work if not abused, but on the other who's going to stop them if they do?! nintendo is suspect still at this point. if a person buys a game, they should own it + b done. on the other hand if nintendo had as much creative integrity as say a SegaChannel[just my personal opin.] or Dreamcast developers, then even a lttle over pricing could b ummm.... justified? lol
