God this game looks good.

Also coming in early 2008, Mario Kart.

Don't forget Super Smash Brothers Brawl.

Ooooh yeah that too . It doesn't look as fresh/awesome/revolutionary as Mario Galaxy (at least what I saw looks similar to the GameCube game, just updated), but I'm sure it'll be friggin sweet.

I've read it's taking so long because they are working on making it online multiplayer, which would be pretty sweet for a game of that type. The real problem is they don't have a back end for that type of gaming like X-box Live. Nintendo needs to get on that ASAP.

What does that mean? I'm not good with the insider jargon . Also are you talking about Mario Kart or Smash Bros? Because Mario Kart is definitely gonna be online multiplayer, racing and battlling, and it's gonna be sooooooo good.

I mean their online infrastructure for organizing and getting players together online isn't nearly as streamlined and effective as X-box live. I like Nintendo's innovation, but they this is one area where copying a competitor would be extremely helpful long term.

From what I've read in Game Informer, the Nintendo president still seems to think that Microsoft and Sony are going overboard with their online strategies. He throws out legit numbers that more Wii's are online than XBox's...which is true. However he fails to say that most people that are "online" are playing around with the Voting Channel, News Channel, etc. instead of online gaming. He also blasted Playstation and XBox for being FPS heavy when it came to online gaming.

Yea, it's a slight spin job. Nothing compared to the shit Sony tries to spoon feed us.The problem is online gaming in Japan isn't as big as it is here, outside of MMORPG's it's just not a huge market for them. They aren't as big on FPS games as the US and Korea is the mecca of RTS online gaming, so I don't think Nintendo fully understands the appeal of online play yet because it hasn't been a target demographic for them. They have made nice strides with the DS Wifi, but they need to get something better in place for the Wii.

Can't wait for mario galaxy. Right now... Metroid FTW

[timwakefield 69]

I'm sure that when Smash Bros. and Mario Kart come out, sooooooooo many people will play them online.

I gotta get that, but I've still barely scratched the surface of Zelda.

I got pretty far in zelda, although I admit I never finished it. I'm pretty close to beating Metroid which easily has the best FPS controls for any console. When I watched halo3 vids and see them tapping the joystick up to aim up, I laugh!!! Plus best graphics on wii yet.

Yeah I played the first couple levels at my friend's house, and it's awesome. I got bored fairly early in Metroid on GameCube and never played it much (I don't own a GameCube, but my roommate did), but Wii Metroid is pretty amazing.

This I did not know...thanks!Estimated time it will take me to figure out my Wireless secure key # and password : 2 hours (I don't use wireless for internets, I plug in).

Just google your model and pull up the manufacturer's PDF on it. Shouldn't be hard to figure out, you might have to open some ports for Wii traffic though I can't remember.

I did and it was all I hoped it could be. Such an awesome game, though I still think the flying dragon on the city in the sky board is prolly the best boss/fight in the game.

I've been a really big fan of Wii since it's come out but now that Halo 3 is out I don't think I'll be playing anything else for a while.It took me 2 years just to get the addiction of Halo 2 out of my system!

That looks awesome, I want a Wii now.

Zelda was amazing!! I was skeptical at first but I loved the controls and thought it was a great game and huge improvement over the windwaker. Still not as good as Ocarina but I think that was the greatest game of all time so I can deal with it not being that amazing.

It's kinda scary that I totally agree with all of this, every word.
