The Nintendo Wii is a home video game console released on November 19, 2006. The Wii's main selling point was the innovative use of motion controls that its signature Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers allowed for. It became the best selling home console of its respective generation of hardware.
Nintendo going crazy with releases this summer!
Well, of those, only one of them interests me. That's like 2 big games, and that's it. It's not that crazy. And dude, just for the record, either Mario or Metroid will be pushed back until fall, mark my words. This news does seem to further support the claim that the new Zelda will come out in the fall of this year, but Nintendo would be foolish to place it on the frontlines alone this holiday season. If they want to pack a punch against the onslaught we're sure to see from Microsoft and Sony, then it'd be wise to have at least 2 heavy hitters come out shortly before Christmas.
Other M is the only one I know I'll get. Never payed more than 20 minutes of the original Mario Galaxy. Wasn't too hooked though. I'm really enjoying Bowser's Inside Story at the moment though.

" I was really surprised to hear Nintendo is publishing Dragon Quest IX. If someone can make that game sell in the West, it's definitely Nintendo. "Really? Because that's actually old news. They already announced a year or two ago that they'd be marketing the game, so the fact that they'd be publishing it as well was pretty much a given.
Also, Nintendo's first marketing move? Change the logo and make it less violent.
Nintendo's logo:
The original Japanese logo
Aside from being significantly different in general, you may also notice the distinct lack of T-sword which has been a feature of the DQ logo since the series' inception. A very strange edit indeed...
Oh well, this is Nintendo we're talking about -- they know what they're doing and will probably make this game sell millions.
As exciting as all this is, it just makes me more excited for E3. That's a bunch of games that won't be taking up time at Nintendo's press conference. We know that they're going to be showing Zelda and there will probably be vitality censor talk, but what else? Presumably stuff that we have never even heard of. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

said:Definitely check out Sin&Punishment on the Virtual Console. It's pretty expensive (1200points), but also pretty intense." Damn it. Galaxy 2 comes out a week after Alan Wake. It's going to be a hard decision. I haven't heard of Sin and Punishment before though, it looks pretty kickass. "
TC:
Don't forget about Arc Rise Fantasia and Prince of Persia in the summer, Trauma Team coming in may, Red Steel 2 and Fragile Dreams coming in march, and of course Xenoblade and The Last Story for which we have no release date yet (but I expect both to hit 2010)
I have 50. You?The Wii has games on it?
