And even funnier, the Super Mario Galaxy 2 logo STILL has those stars in same place.
Tomorrow: Konami Announces Metal Gear Solid 4 for Wii

Microsoft: Oh for the love of fu--
Darth: There's actually one now. It was released a few weeks ago, which many suspected of adding this Wireless N adaptor support by stealth as well.

WPA2 support was added for the Wireless Adaptor and most likely support for the new Wireless N adaptors.
There's PILLS HERE to help with that depression.
I would help if people actually bought Odin Sphere, which this game looks very much like. I saw Odin Sphere in all kinds of retailers over here in the UK, don't know a single person who even mentioned the game. Especially since it was released at the end of the PS2's lifespan and was a very niche title.

In an ideal world, retailers would stock all games, but they have to think of their bottom-line, no point stocking up on something doomed for the bargain bin because the developers just expect people to buy it. Heck, even one of my favourite Wii titles; Another Code R has been seemingly neglected by a large number of highstreet retailers, and that's a 1st party title and was advertised on TV. MMV should pump money into advertising the game, you really do not get something for nothing when it comes to brand awareness.
The Crash Course DLC wouldn't have been so bad if it was free on the 360. I think it'd doubtful I'll purchase L4D2 on 360 now I have a gaming pedigree PC which will actually be supported and far from Microsoft's stupid restrictions/money-grabbing. But my heart goes out to console gamers still. Microsoft/Valve/Chutulu gave someone a bum-deal over pay-for Crash Course.
Perhaps they don't quite mean improved graphical playback, the Wii is severely lacking in online multiplayer aspects. And since piracy is so high on the Wii, driving away even more decent titles that aren't shovelware from the platform, they may be looking to make a new console with more secure, 360/PS3-like anti-piracy measures.

Also, making online more integrated would mean anyone who does modify their console would bar them from accessing internet features. It's an added deterrent which the Wii just does not provide at the moment. If Nintendo is looking to up their graphical power, it would also attract more cross-platform games from 360/PS3, not these ground-up remakes of titles which are just awful. By having more cross-platform titles, they can appeal to the core gamer market while still appealing to casuals with stuff like Wii Fit.
At the moment. It's a pretty poor launching lineup, I know. But I'm sure they have the backing of some pretty big and influential developers or publishers to launch such a service. I don't see it going very far though, I think the likes of Steam have the market sewn up really. Still, always good to have competition.
FYI: District 9 wasn't set in England.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I own an iPhone 3G and I'm looking for a decent speaker / alarm clock for it. I am going to listen music in a mid-sized room, so I want nice quality speakers with solid bass. I also want to use it as an alarm clock, so it would be great if there is such a feature. The price can be low-mid to mid-high range. I was looking at the Klipsch iGroove SXT; it's powerful, slick and the reviews are good, but it doesn't have an alarm clock feature. It's no deal breaker if I can set it up from the iPhone, but I'm not sure. Thanks!"
