I'll be overjoyed when they finally release a Wii HD. Imagining how beautiful some of the Wii's games would look in HD (Super Mario Galaxy, Brawl, etc.) really makes me mad that it hasn't been released yet, but I'll be patient. It looks like it's finally coming. Obviously, being excited for a new Star Fox goes without saying.
I actually prefer this one over Super Mario 64. I just think that because it had so many unique things about it that that's why I like it so much. Although, it was a little too difficult at times.
I really should get Wii Fit Plus because there were quite a few shortcomings on this original, like the ones mentioned in this review, that I was exasperated by. It sounds like the new one improves quite a lot upon the original.
All I'm going to say is that this is one heck of a game! The story is so engaging that it's indescribable! If anybody still hasn't played this game, you MUST!
Corbie couldn't have said it any better. I'm sorry to the people that are mad at the 7/10 score, but the game is simply egregiously impaired in the controls department to the point where it certainly can't be disregarded. Everybody should do themselves a favor and play the game in its superlative form: on the N64. I'd give the game an 8/10, myself, simply because the game is so good in its own. Just to bring up though, I think that Super Mario 64 has always been a tad overrated. Galaxy tops it in almost every way possible, and is obviously the superior game, at least in my mind.
Looks very fun, but I didn't know that it was going to scroll THAT fast. I hope there is a demo on the Shop Channel when it comes out so that I can test it first and see if it is too intense for me. Although, I am a HUGE fan of the first three games, so if I can survive those, I can survive this one, too!
Bit Trip is so great, and this one definitely seems like it will hold that tradition quite easily. If Sean doesn't like platformers and he loves it, I know that I will love it even more, as the platforming genre is my absolute favorite!
This is probably going to be just as awesome as the previous title! I may be nitpicking, but I just hope that it has enough new features that it can be distinguished as its own game, and not just Super Mario Galaxy with new levels.
The graphics look incredible, as the first title's did, too. It just makes me want a Wii HD even more.
I liked the first one quite a lot, and it seems that this sequel has more than improved upon the chinks in the first game's armor, so I'll definitely have to consider buying this soon.
I was kinda excited for this when I first came across it, but I think I'll pass after reading this review, as I don't really want a game that is too juvenile, and this seems that it is. I'll stick to Brain Challenge and Big Brain Academy.
I didn't like this game at all. Glad to see Nintendo seeing large sales, but I just didn't like it. Maybe it's just because I didn't give it enough of a chance, but then again, I didn't give it a chance because I didn't like it.
Pikmin 3, Starfox Wii, or new Donkey Kong game that is a throw back to DK64 would be great, although they won't announce anything that big probably until E3.
AMAZING GAME!!! This is my favorite WiiWare game by far! The designing aspects are greatly entertaining and the music is very relaxing. And this is coming from a guy who loved Mega Man 9. In fact, I loved this game even more, and I love hardcore games. This is definitely not hardcore, but if you like designing, this is AWESOME!!
I'm Christian and I say that this game is completely fake, just like everyone else thinks. You don't play a videogame to worship God. And you can worship on other days beside Sunday, and definitely without a videogame.
@Corbie Good. I love single player. I guess I won't be disappointed then. Also, Corbie, you're saying that when Galaxy 2 comes out that it will not be as good as this game? Because you did say that if I buy 1 Wii game for the rest of my life, it should be this one, which would mean that if I took that seriously, I couldn't buy Galaxy 2. Personally, I think I will like Galaxy 2 way more than this game.

Re: Mario Superstar Baseball
This game is so addicting when playing with a partner.
Re: E3 2010: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
That graphical style is simply gorgeous. I love it. The game sounds extremely immersive and I think I'm going to love it. Although, who won't?

I actually prefer this one over Super Mario 64. I just think that because it had so many unique things about it that that's why I like it so much. Although, it was a little too difficult at times.
Re: Mega Man 4
I can't wait!
Re: Happy "Nintendo Life" Anniversary!
Wow! Time really does fly by so FAST! It really doesn't seem like it has been a whole year since the merger of the websites.
Re: Review: Wii Fit (Wii)
I really should get Wii Fit Plus because there were quite a few shortcomings on this original, like the ones mentioned in this review, that I was exasperated by. It sounds like the new one improves quite a lot upon the original.
Re: Review: Mystery Case Files: MillionHeir (DS)
I actually enjoyed it quite a lot. Although, it got very repetitive at times and tiring. I'd say, out of 10, I'd give it around a 6.5 - 7 score.
Re: Review: Cave Story (WiiWare)
Looks very fun, but a little steep on the price tag. I'll have to ponder a little before I make a decision on whether I want to actually buy it.
Re: Review: Mega Man 10 (WiiWare)
After playing Mega Man 9 again, I think that I prefer it to this new one. Better level designs, MUCH better music, and cooler Robot Masters.
Re: Review: Drill Sergeant Mindstrong (WiiWare)
Sounds like it only deserves about a 3 or a 4. Definitely going to disregard this one.
Re: Miyamoto Confirms Pikmin 3
Finally! I can't wait! I'm hoping that it's for the Wii, but I wouldn't be too upset if it turns out to be released for the DS.
Re: Chrono Trigger
All I'm going to say is that this is one heck of a game! The story is so engaging that it's indescribable! If anybody still hasn't played this game, you MUST!
Re: Want Kid Icarus? Hey, Just Ask
Starfox and Donkey Kong games would be nice. And I mean an ACTUAL DK game, like DK Country or DK64, not the stupid games that have come out recently.

Re: Review: Chrono Trigger (DS)
Why didn't you give it a 10/10? I think it EASILY deserves a perfect score. It certainly is the pinnacle of SNES RPG's. Good review though.
Re: Review: Max & the Magic Marker (WiiWare)
Finally out in NA! Yay!
Re: Review: Mega Man 10 (WiiWare)
Once again, great review, Corbie!
I'm loving every minute of the game, as I expected!
Re: BIT.TRIP RUNNER Gameplay Trailer
Looks very fun, but I didn't know that it was going to scroll THAT fast. I hope there is a demo on the Shop Channel when it comes out so that I can test it first and see if it is too intense for me. Although, I am a HUGE fan of the first three games, so if I can survive those, I can survive this one, too!
Re: Review: Brain Training: How Old Is Your Brain? (DS)
A solid 9/10 in my opinion.
Re: Review: Big Brain Academy (DS)
That score is a little low. Sure, it has its flaws, but I'd personally give it around an 8/10 because it's so addictive and fun.
Re: Review: Wario Land: Shake It! (Wii)
@WaveBoy
I agree completely. I loved Galaxy, but nothing on the Wii compares to this game for me.
Re: First Impressions: Bit.Trip RUNNER
Bit Trip is so great, and this one definitely seems like it will hold that tradition quite easily. If Sean doesn't like platformers and he loves it, I know that I will love it even more, as the platforming genre is my absolute favorite!
Re: Review: Mega Man 10 (WiiWare)
Definitely buying it this weekend. Great review, Corbie!
Re: More Super Mario Galaxy 2 Footage
This is probably going to be just as awesome as the previous title! I may be nitpicking, but I just hope that it has enough new features that it can be distinguished as its own game, and not just Super Mario Galaxy with new levels.
The graphics look incredible, as the first title's did, too. It just makes me want a Wii HD even more.
Re: Cave Story Coming March 22nd
We've only been waiting for like, what, FOREVER?!?!?!
Re: BAFTA Awarding Miyamoto With Fellowship
Way to go, Miyamoto! You deserve it! You're the father of videogaming!
Re: Review: TV Show King 2 (WiiWare)
I liked the first one quite a lot, and it seems that this sequel has more than improved upon the chinks in the first game's armor, so I'll definitely have to consider buying this soon.
Re: Nintendo Cereal System Sells For $200
Well, that's certainly gross. 22 year old cereal.
Re: Review: Flips: Terror in Cubicle Four (DSiWare)
Too puerile and juvenile. Besides, I don't have a DSi, so it really doesn't matter.
Re: Review: The Amazing Brain Train (WiiWare)
I was kinda excited for this when I first came across it, but I think I'll pass after reading this review, as I don't really want a game that is too juvenile, and this seems that it is. I'll stick to Brain Challenge and Big Brain Academy.
Re: Mario & Sonic's Winter Olympics Outing Shifts 6M
I didn't like this game at all. Glad to see Nintendo seeing large sales, but I just didn't like it. Maybe it's just because I didn't give it enough of a chance, but then again, I didn't give it a chance because I didn't like it.
Re: The Nintendo DS in Breakfast Form
That's impressive.
Re: Big Nintendo News Incoming
Pikmin 3, Starfox Wii, or new Donkey Kong game that is a throw back to DK64 would be great, although they won't announce anything that big probably until E3.
Re: Luigi's Mansion to Get Sequel?
I hope it's a sequel, not a New Play Control entry. Luigi's Mansion was AWESOME!! I would love the sequel, too, I'm sure.
Re: Sega: Nintendo Should Support Mature Gamers
That picture's funny!
Re: Merry Christmas from Nintendo Life
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone on this website!
Re: Review: TV Show King 2 (WiiWare)
I liked the first one, and since this one is so much better, I'll definitely be buying it soon.
Re: Wii Fit Doesn't Improve Fitness?
I already knew that it didn't have any effect on your fitness. Its exercises just aren't that strenuous.
Re: Mike Tyson Tops Nintendo-tastic Tree
It looks great but a power star or shine sprite would have looked much, MUCH better than Mike Tyson at the top of the tree.
Re: Review: Stunt Cars (WiiWare)
I wish that a good racing game would come out for WiiWare sometime in the future. It doesn't look hopeful though, unfortunately.
Re: Nintendo Download: Monkey Island, Zoos, 'Copters, Face Stealing and Puzzles! (US)
I wish Nintendo would finally put some games out on VC that people want to buy, like Donkey Kong 64, Chrono Trigger, StarFox, etc.
Re: Review: Copter Crisis (WiiWare)
The graphics look horribly putrid. Looks like a bad game and considering the score, I'm definitely not buying it.
Re: Review: Secret of Evermore (Super Nintendo)
I loved, I mean, just, LOVED Secret of Mana!!! I've never played this one and I REALLY hope it comes to VC in the near future! Great review Corbie!
Re: Hardware Impressions: Nintendo DSi LL
That is HUGE! When I get my DSi finally, I'm getting the regular version. I don't want a handheld that is that enormous.
Re: Super Mario Kart Hits Virtual Console on Monday
This is awesome news! Definitely getting it on Monday. Now if they would just release more NES Mega Man games! And the SNES Starfox!
Re: Review: Home Sweet Home (WiiWare)
AMAZING GAME!!! This is my favorite WiiWare game by far! The designing aspects are greatly entertaining and the music is very relaxing. And this is coming from a guy who loved Mega Man 9. In fact, I loved this game even more, and I love hardcore games. This is definitely not hardcore, but if you like designing, this is AWESOME!!
Re: Review: New Super Mario Bros. Wii (Wii)
Well, I wasn't excited for it because I thought it was all multiplayer, but now that I have it, and playing single player on it, it's AMAZING!!!
10/10 for sure!!
Re: We Pray - Coming To A Console Near You?
I'm Christian and I say that this game is completely fake, just like everyone else thinks. You don't play a videogame to worship God. And you can worship on other days beside Sunday, and definitely without a videogame.
