I can't wait to play the new Mario and Luigi and Wario Ware! I also think the new Final Fantasy game is going to be awesome! I am not sure I will have enough money to purchase the DSi right after it launches though. I am assuming it will cost around 500 bucks here where I live.
I have a theory that explains why so many people hate the Wii. Obviously I will get replies like "No, it is because it has bad games", but everyone is entitled to an opinion so I can't really discuss. It is a free world after all.
Hardocre gamers had almost 100% of the market and companies catering to them since the NES was released, due to the Wii there is a chance more and more comapnies will reduce the amount of "hardcore" games they produce in order to make some money with the casuals. Hardcores feel that as threat to their sacred realm of gaming that was for years protected and reserved only for them and that now is suddenly being taken by a bunch of people who are trying to get thin, or enjoy playing silly games.
Therefore when one of these players who is terribly afraid of this change plays the Wii he or her is not able to fully enjoy it because they have prejudice towards the system simply because it is way more casual than all systems have ever been. Of course, some of you played it and didn't like it at all because the console doesn't have your types of games but I bet some of you Wii haters don't like it just because of the reasons I mentioned above!
All systems this generation are great! Less hating and more playing people!
I am pretty sure the next Nintendo system will be at least as powerful as the PS3. Until 2011 or any year after that the price of putting a console with such high specifications on the market will have reduced considerably so the price of the system won't hurt Nintendo's solid casual base that has been formed this generation.
People kept saying that Gamespot copied GiantBomb's design but that is just impossible. As MattyFTM said things like that take a lot of time to developed and fully planned so GS didn't copy GB at all, unless someone from the GB staff went to GS' office and showed them the site's design a bunch of months before its launch.
Three awesome WiiWare games in two weeks? That is just incredible! I may get this one later because I bought Bomberman and Megaman 9 during the past couple of weeks and I will buy Wario Land and De Blob in a few days. I am afraid there won't be any money left. =(
"Emilio, Have you played Bomberman Live?? How Bomberman Blast compares to it?"
Yeah, I own BL. Man, Blast is just superior to Live. The controls are better, the art design looks really great, the sound is great too. The online is pretty fantastic. Its kinda like Mario Kart Wii where you have a set number of points and they'll increase if you do better or decrease if you do poorly. There's no online rooms like in Live, so you just connect, choose your game mode, then choose your level and I guess the game chooses the a random level and game mode from the selections players made.
I don't think there's teams online, but its okay. If you join a game in progress, you have to wait it out like in Mario Kart, except instead of watching them play, you get to play a little bomb dodge mini game.
I havn't played any single player, only multiplayer."
Nice. I was curious to know that because I didn't read any reviews where they compared both.
I have been playing Blast a lot since I got it on Monday. I keep saying to myself that "this will be my last match of the day" but I always end up playing many more!
I am not a fan of RPGs but I will check that once I get home. I used to keep a GoNintendo window open all they long to check the updates while working and as a consequence the site was blocked here at work. :(
"Nice! I still think the Wii could keep up its pace until 2012 so releasing a new system in 2011 is slightly early than I was expecting."
lol

I see. You are playing pictures not games then?
The 360 and PS3 are much more powerful than the Wii and everybody is aware of that. There is no need for you to post pictures and try to show us this obvious fact!
However, all three systems have great games on their libraries. The difference is the strategy MS, Sony and Nintendo decided to use on this generation. From a business point of view the Wii can keep a good pace in terms of sales for another four years if Nintendo keeps delivering games that attract casuals, that is why I think releasing another system in 2011 may be too early!
