Interesting, was not actually expecting anything like this for a long while.

Yeah that was really good I wonder what Matt from IGN will say about this on his next anti Hype tyrant.




Aha, so that's why my Wii was blinking this morning. I wasn't sure if it was just in a good mood or someting was up. Does the Wii always do that when there is something special going on that Nintendo wants you to know about?



I hate trolls.

kn, it usually gives you a blue light when there is an update, or something special happening (like a new channel being released)



This is really awesome... I wonder what other surprises Nintendo have in store for us :)

It really is a fantastic way to market - direct, free advertising to every (online) Wii in the country.

Holy crap batman!

I just got up and ready for work. Set some cereal down for my kids to eat and whoa my Wii isa glowin'. Turned it on, check the message and YES a MP3 preview. Went to shopping channel, downloaded preview, and began to watch both videos. They are really nice. Damn this game is gonna be great. Really want 8.13.07 to hurry up and get hear so I can see other videos.

How many of you noticed the special picture you can uncover?

@Soriku -- where did you see they will come out next week? I know they already have the ESRB ratings, but I have not seen them given a release date yet. Though It would make sense to release them once a week to help drive a push for MP3.



My lord, that gets me pumped and or super pumped for it. I mean I was already buying it, I have it reserved. But DAYAMN GINA, that looks hot.



You can find me on facebook as Markus Van Rijn, if you friend me just mention you're from VGchartz and who you are here.

Prime seems to be going so much toward Halo that I could see them putting "Finish the fight " at the end of the first trailer. Either way it looks like this game is going to be good.

Still have to watch the second one.

To clarify further on what tabsina said, If its blinking blue, then check your messages becuase Nintendo sent you a notice about an update or something else cool.

 I didnt' see the pictures, but i only had time to watch the videos this morning before work, so i'll have to go back and check again later.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

This is exactly what I was thinking during the first preview.  The style makes it look a ton like Halo, especially with the music.  I think this is both good, because it could get more casual attention this way, and bad, because its really nothing like Halo in gameplay so people may not understand its more of an adventure game.  

Either way, I am really happy Nintendo is doing this kinda advertising and that it is actually really good looking.  Things are looking up for Nintendo's advert department and for Metroid.
