1.28m as of June 2009 seems pretty respectable to me. I'm sure they made a profit on that, and so it was well worth releasing. If that amount is considered poor sales then that's pretty pathetic. Look at the sequels to the games on the list. The Carnival Games sequel sold poorly, and Game Party 2 didn't fare much better. Deca Sports 2 bombed. Most of them were released early in the system's life and sold because there wasn't much else. Clearly people have had enough of these games. And people love both Mario and Sonic so that game was a given. Proof that established series do sell on Wii. I'm glad I'm in your sig. I hope that stays there until third-parties wise up and start putting effort into Wii games. Which means it could be there for a long time. |

I'd say 1.28m is a good number. I'm not sure that I'd count Mario and Sonic or Guitar Hero as proof that all established series could do well on Wii. I don't think of those game genres as areas where the Wii's audience are left hungry. But I'd like to see more third party Wii games too. I still don't think it's gonna happen, though, so get used to that sig. |

But it is proof that established series have a higher chance of selling than anything else, just like on other systems. Third-parties will come around eventually. It's already started with the likes of Monster Hunter 3 (which is currently the best-selling third-party game on any platform this generation in Japan BTW) and Dragon Quest X. Some have admitted that they used Wii games to fund projects for other systems that didn't turn a profit. So it's really them who have the most to lose. Then there are others like Squaresoft who basically said they'd support Nintendo only if they released an HD system soon. But you can't win them all. |

I just preordered a black wii (my first wii) for 209.99 €.  A black wii is a must-have, at least for me. It fits perfectly to my other black consoles (N64, Gamecube, Xbox360). Does anybody else gonna buy it? (In Europe) Mr. alxbly come on

 I'd like one, but I dunno if I can really justify it. My Wii doesn't get much use and I'd be silly to throw away £180 on another one. But... I still might...

Wrong. I'm fine with the Wii lineup and think that people who complain of a lack of good games aren't looking hard enough. Could it be better? Sure, but so could it be on every other system. |

You could always sell the white one if you didn't mind giving up your Wii Console Number, message data, gameplay records, downloaded games, and saves for online games. And also sell your current copy of Wii Sports Resort. Anyways, Nintendo just announced a new WiiWare game on the Nintendo Week show which appears on the Nintendo Channel (sorry alxbly...). A new ExciteBike! Sounds like it could be good, I'll let you guys know next week when they reveal more.

Ahh, about time Nintendo decided to start milking other colored Wiis. I mean...what would you rather have Nintendo focus on: better games or different colored consoles? Obviously the colors... I feel bad for the people that stole my Wii. Assuming they plan on using it and not just selling it, they're going to be disappointed. (This is a joke) EDIT: The Excitebike game seems promising though. Edited by StYoung, Oct 27 2009, 10:21 AM.

Kind of actually looking forward to this, even though I played the crap outta Excitebike 64. (So much so that I unlocked the "original Excitebike 3D", which seems to essentially be Excitebike:WR with rougher edges and no online...) Now... if only Nintendo would release MORE than just World of Goo for purchase on Amazon.com...

Cheesy show I know. People always comment on how the girl is "hawt" but I never see anyone compliment the guy. He is pretty... blah though, it's too bad they couldn't have gotten somebody handsome to go along with her. Traitor. That game looks too complex, one of the reasons why I like ExciteBike above all else is because of its relative simplicity. I think I may start strictly enforcing topicality. I'll probably end up modding myself a few times, but it will be worth it. |

If you honestly believe that then there's no point discussing it with you. Anyways, has anyone yet heard of the new Disney game called Epic Mickey? It was announced a while ago but I haven't seen anyone mention it.

The concept art was far more interesting than the end product seems to be. http://www.joystiq.com/2009/10/29/spector-explains-disparity-between-disney-epic-mickey-concept-sh/ But it's still at early stages so lets hope they can make something good from it.  |

  "Baby and Me special edition puts everything else to shame Making-of DVD? Download code for an exclusive shield to block projectile vomit? No, no. 505 Games' upcoming Wii-exclusive Baby and Me takes the whole special edition thing to a whole new level - it comes with a creepy doll. Better yet, you're supposed to strap your Wii Remote to it for a stunning display of just how far humanity has come. By rocking the disturbing creature in your arms, you'll also be rocking an on-screen baby in Baby and Me. That's intense. But just check out all the other features! * Your baby reacts by giggling, gurgling or crying through the Wii remote * Ten Baby Mode games including feed baby & send baby to sleep * Eight Play Mode games including rattle, catch, clap & balloons * Balance Board support: rock baby to sleep, burp baby, teach baby to walk * Customise baby with new clothes, accessories and playrooms Wow, there's even Balance Board support! Could you just imagine that doll crying through the tinny, distorted Wii Remote speaker? Absolutely terrifying. Baby and Me launches in Australia next month. Don't worry if the special edition is out of stock (it'll be bigger than Modern Warfare 2), as the standard game also includes a bonus holster so you can attach the Wii Remote to another creepy doll instead. Or a toaster". From: http://aussie-nintendo.com/news/20163/ The campaign for a world-wide release starts here.

^Oh...my...God... Moving on to less disturbing matters, has anyone else picked up the Metroid Prime Trilogy? In my opinion it's the greatest trilogy deal in video game history. To have these three amazing games one a single disc for the price of one is just unbelievable. This trilogy has given me one of those unfortunately rare moments when I'm proud to be a Wii owner.

Is it strange that I want that game?I already own all three games so there's no point. But for anybody who missed out on them then it's a great buy. I've always thought that taking pride in console ownership is a silly concept. In any case, it sounds to me like you haven't played very many Wii games. |

You're right, I haven't. I only own four Wii games: Metroid Prime Trilogy, The Conduit, House of the Dead: Overkill and Mario Kart Wii (all of which are absolutely stellar titles). There's so many Wii games I want, but they cost so much money!  :richman: And yes, I know how incredibly lame it is that I have a Wii but don't own Super Mario Galaxy.

Amen to that. There are several games that I'm absolutely eager for. Let's see: Mario Kart Wii Mario Party 8 The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night OR The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon (I'm a PS1-Spyro fanatic, and although the newer games are apparently worse, I just have major cravings for a new Spyro venture) As it is my birthday today (I felt it necessary to post on such a momentous occasion), you would think that I could use my received money ($225) to partially quench my thirst by investing in one or two of them. Alas, I am instead going to buy a GameCube controller and memory card, plus Super Mario Sunshine, which I have never played (ridiculously excited to give it a razz, being a Super Mario addict). The rest of the dosh is probably going to be saved up. Or used to buy one of the Wii games. Or Rayman DS. Hmm. Also, please don't wish me a Happy Birthday, as I will feel as though I manipulated you into it. Cheers, Franklint Edited by Franklint, Nov 6 2009, 06:46 AM.

Is anyone gettting CoD 4: Modern Warfare for Wii? I picked up a Nintendo magazine at the newsagent today and it has an entire feature on the game. It looks pretty damn impressive, I must say it almost looks tempting enough to pry me away from my New Super Mario Bros Wii purchase in the near future. EDIT: Haha, nevermind. I just played it at a friend's house. It looked great, played beautifully, but eh...it just wasn't like playing it on a PS3/360. New Super Mario Bros Wii it is.

Haha, sorry buddy, but I actually don't play Wii games online. I had trouble connecting my the Wii to the internet, so I eventually just gave up. If I do get motivated to get connected and take my Mario Kart skills to cyberspace, you'll be the first to know my FC. |

Oh, I think I should get it! I've played all 3 before and was considering replaying them all until I heard about this...is there any major improvements...bah the first games didn't need any, but I'm very excited about the Motion controls in those games, the MP3 controls were amazingly good I thought. Haha, the last new game I bought was Animal Crossing. And that wasn't really new just a re-do of an old game...Wonder if I should get into it again...  |

It's not worth buying at the moment if you already own all three, but the addition of motion controls in MP1 & 2 makes replaying them truly worthwhile. I suggest you wait for a price drop and then pick it up - you won't regret it.

Nah, I don't need a price drop, and I ain't getting a used copy. It worth it. Although might not get it just yet, still have to play through Tales of Symphonia and that will take me through till the end of the year AT LEAST (not much spare time to play these agems (AS IF Spell Check couldn't find the word "games" there.  ) these days so games last me a while).And I hope they removed the need for online stuff to get everything in MP3...not everyone has online...I Do, but...its not the kind of game where i wan tto connect with other people...its a solo game...traaahhh.

They didn't. And to make matters worse, you can't trade with people who have Metroid Prime 3, you have to find people with Metroid Prime Trilogy. Also, alxbly, I'm not sure why, but I feel like your signature has a negative undertone. |

Please click my signature for your response. D.J Cat: Note that you can't use Metroid Prime 3 saves for Metroid Prime Trilogy. It's a really good games package though, so it's more than worth it.
