Mario Galaxy, SSMB and the new Metroid game will probably make the Wii worth a punt.

If the typical Virtual Console gamer is like me, he bought 5-6 games when he got the Wii(in my example around February) and is having great fun with those still today, and won't buy many more VC games for a little while still.

Slow? Quite likely."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

My guess would be that they'll push out Smash in mid to late summer, push out Metroid around the same time as Halo 3, and save Galaxy for Thanksgiving going into Christmas. Makes the most sense from a business standpoint and fits with previous trends.Comment

Pushing Metroid around the same time as Halo 3 is a retarded decision, if they do that. Halo 3 crushes every other game out within a couple weeks of it."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Halo will dominate video game advertising (and mindshare) for the time. Metroid's release will be in the shadow of a bigger monster."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

True to some extent, but Nintendo's marketing dollars are not usually spent in the same places as MS's or Sony's.Originally posted by Asher

The biggest problem with a release concurrent with Halo is that Nintendo will have to pay higher MDF.THEY!!111 OMG WTF LOL LET DA NOMADS AND TEH S3D3NTARY PEOPLA BOTH MAEK BITER AXP3REINCES

You call it slow to use a few months on playing two Wii games and 5 VC games?Originally posted by Asher

Most of the VC games are pretty short.
And which two Wii games?"The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

I've been working on A Link to the Past for quite a while on and off. Game is a lot harder when you don't remember where everything is
(Oh, and save-states on emulators have really spoiled me as to how tough some of those old games really are!)Comment

looks like guitar hero will get exclusive Wii content.

All console versions have exclusive content.
The real problem is the Wii version will be rather crippled due to the lack of real storage. Games can only access the ~350MB of internally accessible storage for all saved games, each song is 17-18MB in size."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate.
