Just make sonic look like he did in that picture, rather than some lanky, sinewy teenager. And take away his voice. 27k sales increase guaranteed.
I bet that this, like all the other coin-ops ive played recently, won't award you a continued play for winning. Something which ruined the awesome F-Zero arcade game for me.
You second paragraph makes little sense to me. Could you please try again, this time with language?
Yeah, and Wii Music/Animal crossing are new games, so if they'd properly developed the 'New Play....' titles rather than hedging their bests on these turkeys, then they couldn't be accused of accelerating the downturn with poor software, cos they'd be making, y'know, good software.


Or I could be totally crazy or something?
Interesting take on the loyalty card i suppose...
I think the poor performance of the titles adds insult to the injury of the 'New Play Mechanic!' re-releases of mario tennis etc. I mean, If nintendo had just invested a little time and effort to make proper ports (im talking ports ffs) then they could have easily had another couple of Mario Kart Wii's on their hands, which was hardly a quantum leap from every other title in the series. Fans were clamouring for a new pikmin title since launch, how hard would it have been to cash convert that loyalty? Mario Tennis would sell like crack-cakes with a dollop of online play and perhaps some wiimotionplus support.

It cant be that they don't have enough money to invest in these titles, so we have to put it down to a lazy NPD team, who thought *Music would be another *sports, *play or *fit, and thought 'fuck it, my eggs are plenty safe in that basket'.

Someone should be getting f'kin fired.
For any fans of Alan Partridge - Try reading the first paragraph of this post with his voice in you head. It totally fits.
I enjoyed the game alot - not enough to play through multiple times, but alot.

I thought the magic ststem was a little convelouted though. If it were up to me (and of course its not, irate fanboys who may well flame me for this comment) I would ditch the "majik" And just make it all about puzzles, monsters and insanity effects.

In respect to the latter though, where have they got to go? Seems liek most of the good ideas may have been used up in teh first game. But no question I would buy a sequel if it were to show up.

Exactly - was there ever any doubt?

Is there any doubt that I now have to get a PS3?

Is there radical doubt about the existance of the physical universe that can only be removed by the presence of a veracious God?




Kiff, Im asking you a question.
Im a complete nintendo fanboy and I have no qualms about admitting the wii screens look Shize Minelli.

But I'll aslo admit that graphics do not a good game make, and ill judge it on how it plays.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
