    Looks pretty impressive.  There's a little bit of Braid influence in there.  Gonna watch this one closely.

    This is what developers need to do for the Wii.  Now I'll admit, the Conduit looks OK, but being a PS3/360 owner and looking at games like Killzone 2, Gears 2, POP--the Conduit's graphics don't hold up.  In order for developers to make their Wii games look good, they need to stylized them up a bit like Blob, and Mad World.  Hope we see more games like this.

    Now this really impressed me! This footage actually sparked an interest in possibly getting another Wii. I was always planning to, but I was going to wait to see if they would ever release a black Wii.

    Beautiful game but there's a couple things a picked up from those videos that worry me:
    1. The camera bugged me when he was bouncing around on Blob. And,
    2. The absence of SFX. But that could be due to a number of reasons.

    I couldn't help but play Aladdin on the SNES (well, on the Wii) yesterday because of this.
    Smooth game, but I always liked Lion King more.
    I wonder if ABAHB will feel similar. That'd be nice.

    This guy worked on the Mega Drive (Genesis) version of Aladdin, which had better animation and was a completely different game (better game too IMO).
