I am so primed for this game. It's corrupting my brain. I dread having to wait 24 hours.

I would prefer to fight the Super Metroid version of mother brain. That's one ugly, mean bitch.

The Wii's limitations are no valid excuse for third party developers to make games that look a horrid as Cruisn'. They should be ashamed. Every developer should take a look at Nintendo's upcoming Wii games before they give us such shite.

"The Wii has last-gen graphics. PS3 and 360 have last-gen controls. Blah blah." I really wish the guys who write the reviews would get off of that now. It's like hearing a broken record. WE KNOW, WE'RE NOT STUPID. It seems like every review I read, especially with IGN and 1up, they are comparing the multi-platform games with the different console releases. "Yes, this Wii game is kinda cool. It's graphics are good, but they don't look as good as PS3. Yet, the controls are far more intuitive and fun on the Wii." No shit, Sherlock. The Wii has an awesome controller. The 360 and PS3 have awesome graphics. Now tell us more about the game.

Fried chicken is a gift to the world from baby Jesus.

Not of all of it is aimed at you - The 'mediocre' part is the part aimed at you, but obviously I forgot to spell that out. The rest if for various naysayers around the world and anyone interested.

Has anyone ever eaten at Foosackly's. That's the best chicken in the world, I swear.

The enjoyment that I get out of the Wii everyday has more than warranted my 250 + tax purchase. And anyone complaining about a lack of titles won't be doing so within a week, if they have any sense of what's going on around them. In the meantime, chill out and download Shining Force - that will keep you busy until the horde of awesome games come in during the next few months and onward. I haven't enjoyed a new console so much since the SNES. Yes, there are limitations to the graphics and a lot of the third party games are pathetic cash-ins, but it doesn't matter (every console has those, face it). It's an amazing console. That's all there is to it. Every system has its faults, and Wii is no exception, but it's great. The whole argument about Nintendo abandoning the hardcore gamer is a ridiculous illusion. Just because Ninty releases Brain Age, Wii Sports, and Wii fit, people start having a heart attack and ignore the fact that the shooters, RPGs and other games are getting ready to pour in. Third parties are finally finishing up some major titles, and Nintendo's already got several of their monster titles coming out soon, starting next week with Metroid Prime 3. The Wii's library is beginning to look like that of the DS - awesome, fun, and full of variety. Also, if you don't own a Wii, then don't label it as a gimmicky system, because you don't know what the you are talking about and therefore don't have much credence for pushing your opinion. I don't sit around and bitch about a PS3 or 360, because I don't have them. If Wii's such a gimmicky fad, then why have I been playing it for 6 months as if I've just discovered masturbation? Because I'm mediocre? This must mean that you're advanced or far beyond the comprehension and understanding of a Nintendo fan. There must be something that makes you special. Why don't you share it with us. We're anxious to know what makes you so exceptional, so we can be cool and above all common logic like yourself.

Tiny is not a replacement for Dixie - they are separate characters, and will both appear in DK Barrel Blast. Gratuitous post. Oh yeah, it's time for a celebration song:

He's already riping off the Nerd, and now he has to put down Super Mario Bros. 2? That's lame, because Super Mario Bros. 2 is awesome. I got it a few days after it came out, even after hearing how people told my Dad it wasn't very good. Sure, it was a cheap international scheme, but the result from that was something better than I could have ever imagined at the time. Yes, I have beaten the lost levels. Very fun and extremely challenging, but I'm glad that Nintendo dressed up Doki Doki Panic for us. You want to know why people hate games like Mario 2 and Zelda 2? Because they suck at them or simply couldn't figure them out. They expect the same game as its predecessor, fall in cliffs and die repeatedly, and wonder aimlessly because they think they are playing the same game. By the way, anyone who thinks Super Mario Bros. 2 is too difficult shouldn't even be playing video games. It has an average amount of challenge for a side scrolling game. Zelda 2? Pretty damn difficult, even after you've beaten it a few times. Difficulty is good, and games should never lose points for well-implemented difficulty. The only bad kind is the cheap kind, caused by bad control/hit detection/game design.

Nope, he's right dude. You are in the land of Subcon, but when you go through the magic doors, you go into a realm known as 'Subspace' (according to the original NES manual, the same one that reveals Birdo as a transvestite) But I seriously doubt that this is any reference to SMB2. Edit: By the way. I hate Petey Piranha. He is a total jerk, and I always wanted to fill his face with lead when he passed me on Mario Kart Double Dash. It looks like the asshole is teaming up with this Minister guy, oh well, I guess I will have to destroy them for being associated with the foul plant. Hopefully he bleeds when damage is inflicted upon him. DAMN YOU PETEY PIRANHA, I SHALL SPIT UPON YOUR GRAVE!!!!!! (I don't know why I hate him so much, maybe a shrink can explain this to me).

I hope Nintendo sues the shit out of them. Anyway, I can't stand animal cruelty, but PETA are total hypocritical, psychotic asses who use fear tactics and false information to promote their agenda.

Great this means no vegetable-throwing full-character Toad. Aaaaaaaarugh! Damn you, Nintendo! Eh, I wasn't expecting it to happen anyway.

DuckTales and Rescue Rangers are awesome. Oh man, Nintendo need to start bringing all of the 8-bit and 16-bit Capcom-made Disney games to virtual console, like pronto.

What a coincidence. I was just listening to Twin Blood, like half an hour ago.

I wish Ninty would make a new StarTropics

So I guess we will be visiting Zebes again?

Monster Party is cool on its weirdness alone. The beginning, when everything changes in front of that giant tree, it's just freaky as hell. Don't forget about fighting kabobs, onion rings, punk rock guitarists, house cats, and upside-down naked people buried in the ground.

There is a way, I've even seen it done with PS2 controllers, but you'll have to look that up on your own. Just get a decent $20 controller. You can find them just about anywhere.

I want an intense pillow fight with Samus.

Yep, I still miss the blue. Much more roomy and less "arctic".

Man, that would be awesome. Same for SMB2 as well.

Oh yeah, Punch Out. I've never beaten Mike Tyson. As much as I enjoy punch out, I throw the controller down in frustration after an hour.

Bionic Commando - No jump (don't need one), a long bionic arm that allows you to navigate and swing around as well as grab enemies. And you have all kinds of guns that can be used with the bionic arm. Cool stages, good music, and difficulty. And a very strange final boss. Ninja Gaiden (all of them) - Awesome story, music, and true ninja-like game play. Arguably the first game to introduce movie-like cutscenes to enhance the feel and story of the game. The music is amazing on all three, although there seem to be plot holes on the third game. You will get your ass beat. Blaster Master - Awesome adventure where a young country boy tries to find his toad, finds a power suit and power tank, and ends up battling evil aliens under the earth. Awesome gameplay, upgrades galore, and thank Jesus for save states because it is looooooong. Little Nemo: The Dream Master - Cool gameplay, feeding monsters and take their powers, travel through diverse worlds, big badass weapon you can't use until the end, wicked good music (typical for NES games), and very challenging. Dragon Warrior 1, 2 ,3 ,4 - Early-style turn based RPGs that are fun to play and will cause you to die numerous times. Cool atmosphere. Battletoads, Battletoads and Double Dragon, Double Dragon 1 and 2 - All of these are great side-scrolling fighters/platforming games that demand your attention. Look out for awesome music, killer special moves (read some FAQs, you don't want to miss anything), and big bosses that will beat you without mercy. Zelda 1 and 2 - No explanation needed. Yes, Zelda 2 is much different, but an awesome game, and they both deserve to be beaten by you.\ Megaman series - At least try the first three, and 4-6 are still quite good. Not only do these games require good reflexes, strategy is very important - choose the right stages and choose the right weapons. Music is grandiose, so much that it has spawned tributes like the Megas and the Protomen. Control is solid as well. Metroid and Kid Icarus - Just fucking do it. I dare you. If you like puzzle games, then go for Tetris, The Adventures of Lolo (1-3, they are all good and will fuck your brain) Extended learning: After you grow some NES balls, you should try some more experimental games: try Snake Rattle and Roll, Street Fighter 2010 (actually quite good if you learn to actually play it), Cobra Triangle, Karnov, Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle, and Panic Restaurant Now, be prepared, and make sure you have a good controller to work with too.

You won't start out fully powered up. You'll start out with basic items like charge shot, morph ball, missiles, one or two energy tanks. You'll get to keep those after the first stage, and build your power up as the game progresses. And this game will be bigger than the previous two games. Anyway, after watching the videos last night, I'm thinking the Mother Brain is coming into town. Ohhhh yeaaaah.
