Question: do you guys think that because 3DS has been delayed to spring 2011, Wii 2 will not hit next year?

I thought maybe it would launch late december, but now I think they might leave it for spring 2012 or later.

Within Nintendo who knows?  They could spring it on us at E3 and release it this time next year.  Or they mght not.  I have no way of readig the tea leaves with Nintendo.

Also, Geek in the Conduit Nintendo article did they give any impression of what they thought of the game (beyond the changes/features/settings).

Mario Sports Mix (Wii, Nintendo): 8 / 7 / 7 / 8 - (30/40)

I was thinking about this game today and wondered why the heck did Square-Enix make this game and why did Nintendo let them do another Mario sports game when Mario Hoops was atrociously horrible!

No really, what does Square-Enix know about basketball? They know nothing, which is why Mario Hoops sucked! Same with Mario Sports Mix. What do they know about sports? Nothing!

Sang says, "Wii surged more than three fold over the week prior, presumably due to the November 11 release of the red Mario anniversary Wii and the Wiimote Plus."

Those will help but seeing how Wii Party didn't catch on big like the other Wii-(Enter title here) games, I think the Wii is struggling more than past years. It's been a FANTASTIC year for Nintendo fans though with GoldenEye, Metroid Other M, Donkey Kong, Kirby, SMG2, etc., but I think the Wii is on its last legs.

Also, Kinect and Move is probably bumping into Wii-Party and Wii sales. Not taking over, just giving it some challenge.

I expect the Wii rebound this holiday season, just not as much as previous years. I think this could be the final year the Wii will be pushed, than Nintendo will need a successor for next year. But they have the 3DS so Nintendo will be more than fine for the next five or so years!

Only what I could see in the scan. It's in the thread, open it full screen.

Hey ASK, didn't that mario DS game have you tapping the screen to bounce the ball?

Nine hours, nine what?

Did they give that game a 9 to be facetious?

It's like a mystery "who dun-it" type of game I think with Layton like puzzles.

Looks interesting.

The Sports Mix game from Square is selling well because it has FF characters as well as Nintendo so the actualy quality of the game doesn't matter.

As for what Square doesn't know about sports games, I doubt Square actually developed it, it was probably one of the many phantom developers.

Typical with Square-Enix. All fan-service regardless of game quality. Got to sell those capsule toys and gets people cos-playing!

Nintendo Power - review scores

Donkey Kong Country Returns (Wii) - 8.5


                    GoldenEye 007 (Wii) - 8.5


                    Golden Sun: Dark Dawn (DS) - 8.0

GoldenEye only got a 8.5?

And Golden Sun Dark Dawn got a 8. Not bad, but was expecting a 9 because it's Golden "freaking" Sun!

What’s the one thing that could make the Force Unleashed II  immeasurably more awesome? If you said ‘dropping the stroke-baiting Darth Vader boss battle’, then you, my friend, are wrong. The correct answer, is adding Ewoks. Specifically, letting you kill the furry bastards in a blaze of Force Lightning. Which is just what the game’s first DLC will let you do. Rejoice everyone who laughed at the Ewok death scene in Return of the Jedi. Your homicidal fantasises are about to come true.

Dreamcast collection coming to both 360 and PS3. Awesome! I wonder what games will be in it.

Oh I just remembered that DC games were on like 1.8 gb or less discs? CD - 600mb? So they should be able to get quite a few on a dual layer DVD, I was thinking that Blu ray would be needed at first.
