OMG ANOTHER DS cook book? Although this has more of a reason to exist than America's Test Kitchen; I never knew what made it different than Personal Trainer: Cooking.....
I'm guessing from the picture that this game is so futuristic, the screenshot takes place in the year 2050 where your electronics don't need to be plugged in to anything...
Sure, your saying the iPad will kill Nintendo because the iPad is way better than the iPod touch just like the DSi XL is way better than the DSi- oh, wait.
@DAaaMan64: It wasn't a PC Game (Although there was some ports and some sequel). It was an arcade game. If it looks like what you've played and shares the same name, then it probably is.
What's with letting the pro owners out of the deal? The Pro is AWESOME. Then it again, it probably is because of compatibility issues, so I might as well shut up...
Yay! Hopefully the 3DS plays movies and lets you read magazines (Nintendo Power on DS, anyone?). 3DSWare just seemed obvious. Hopefully we get that Wider screen and that analogue nub too.
I was going to download this immediately after it hits NA until I saw the price. I only have 500 points left, and I'm sure I don't want to spend 800 points on this anyway. I would have gone for 200 or even 500, but I don't feel like I should get this. I am very musically inclined; I play trumpet in my school band and own almost every Wii Guitar Hero Game (missing Smash Hits), but I'm a little hesitant with this. Besides, according to how I usually treat DIY stuff, I usually play around with it for a while, then forget about it or watch other people use it (as in Flipnote Hatena).
The water type is probably the ugliest Pokemon ever invented. I thought the game already came out in Japan a month ago? Or maybe I was just freaking out?
NO!!!! Nintendo, why are you joining the terrible third party companies that make games for your system by making craptastic party games? You're better than that.
NO!! Paying for online is not my thing... which is why I'm currently leaning toward a PS3 rather than a 360 in my battle for another console. If we do eventually have to pay, give the ability to chat to people through any game and give us patching. Also, the most wanted request for Online Wii has to be get rid of the friend codes and have a username that stays the same for every game. Or at least when we register a friend code, make it consistent across every game so we don't have to register the same person a ton of times for every game we have! Jeeze.
I was just scrolling the list, saw "Rock Band 3" and nearly jumped for joy! I'll buy it only if it has a ton of improvements over the last one. (Rock Band Network on the Wii, anyone?)
Other than that, I'm pretty sure Nintendo's going to give out news on the new Zelda game (including the real title) and I think Mario Galaxy 2 will have a demo there. The most awesome thing that could happen at E3 this year would have to be if Nintendo unveiled the 3DS.
Best Flash Game EVER. It is fun to play with the other characters, but I think playing as Mario is the best, but I guess that's from being used to playing as him in the real game.
Nice. They have an app that allows Wiimote response on the iPhone (although I think it requires jailbreaking...), so it makes sense that Android phones get an app too.
@Tri4ceHolder: No, you can't. VC and WiiWare Games are coded so that only the Wii that you bought the game from would be able to play the game. This is meant to stop piracy. And I'm so glad I'm not racist. LOL
This seems good for people in the NA who want a Wii but are too hesitant because of the white finish. If they had these three years ago when I got a Wii, I would've got the black one.
This is the third game that relies on the DSi Cameras to play, and it failed like the last two. Just goes to show you the cameras weren't meant for playing games with.
@Linkgamer: What do you mean that it "works with AiRace Tunnel"? Do you mean that it's included in the game, that your data from tunnel gets transferred to this game or that you can (somehow) play with people that have only AiRace tunnel?
I liked Tunnel and thought it was pretty fun, but I don't think I'll get this one because the only multiplayer it has is with people that own the game, and I only know 3 other DSi owners, all of which might not get this game.
This reminds me of the career mode in Guitar Hero III where you sign a contract and later in the game you find the contract gave your soul to your manager, who was the devil.
See, this is what happens when you don't read the terms and conditions.
Good article . I'm sorry for all those Europeans out there who had to live with slower versions of games, especially Sonic. It makes me glad to be an American gamer .
Since I live in the US, I'm just glad that I don't have to pay as much for Nintendo's stuff (taking conversion into account even). I just wanted to say how awesome that pic is
YES!!!! I'll get this if it comes out in 2 years.... if it comes earlier then I'll probably wait and enjoy the DSi I had for only a little more than a year now.
"Justin Towell of GamesRadar UK expressed disappointment, both that the games were not announced for the planned Nintendo 3DS handheld, and that the names evoked an image of obsolete Game Boy technology." (Taken from Wikipedia)
And, uh... @CH405K1N6: Uh, I didn't say it like that. I was just a little SURPRISED (not upset) that they were breaking the trend. And god, I wasn't TOTALLY freaking out (like how you made it sound).
@Swiket: Well, they're just bland colors. Don't get me wrong, I like the color black, I just think they aren't as exciting as other colors. I bet a few people feel the same way.
@Swiket: It's just the fact that with the latest names having "rich" colors after the original generation, (gold, silver, crystal, ruby, sapphire, diamond, pearl, platinum) it feels like Nintendo got lazy and just named the new games on the two most basic "colors" ever. At least name them using real colors. How about pink and orange, Nintendo?
What?! A new generation already?! They are breaking the trend here. The next generation needs to launch on the next gen console (which would be the 3DS). Nintendo should wait 'till they at least announce the 3DS in a conference or something. And speaking of waiting.... why so soon? April 15 is only 6 days away, and not only that, but Heartgold and Soulsilver were released in Japan only 7 months ago. They should at least wait a year or two before coming out with a new game, let alone a whole new generation.
I dunno why I care, considering I'm done with Pokemon, but I just want my word out.
P.S. These names are probably the worst ones ever.
They have a similar microgame in Warioware D.I.Y. Showcase. I didn't really like it, but I think I would like the real deal more because it doesn't have a 10 second time limit .
Nice. When I first heard about the 3DS I denied the news, thinking something like it couldn't possibly happen, and the fact that it wasn't announced at a press conference seemed proof enough that this was a rumor. But with all this news and everything, it seems I might be wrong. I'm still a bit suspicious, though .
Uh, don't you need a nunchuck to play football games? And if you just use the Wiimote DPad, it would be hard to move and go through the motions at the same time. In Wii Play's "Tanks!", I always go for using the nuchuck rather than the Wiimote to move because it's hard to point with something and push a button in different directions, especially when you have to point the thing in different places.
@lanafire: Wow, I didn't realize that the first time I watched this thing, but when you pointed it out I went back to that part and realized it DID sound like something for Bill and Ted's. PARTY ON, DUDES!

Re: Some Sort of Wii Remote Gets a Recent Approval From the FCC
Rather than being a new Wiimote, could it be the controller for Nintendo's Next Console?!?!?!
Since the Wii's been so successful, it's possible they would take the safe route and make basically the same thing, except upgrade the power.
It's probably not true, but it seems logical.
