I still think that Galaxy 2 should have sold more - it deserves it!!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Looks Like 3DS will have a beast year.



Sunshine is the perfect example of the game people want and don`t want. People see a new Mario and say it`s always the same thing, same story = people aren`t happy. Nintendo changed the way people played the game, changed the story (a good amount) = people still weren`t happy.

Sunshine was an awesome game and introduced a very good (new) idea that made it more than your usual Mario platformer. The holiday setting was pretty awesome too!

I just hope Nintendo do end up putting Gamecube games for download and this is one of them!

+1 , I also hope they put in Wind Waker, cause that is the only zelda game I have yet to play :(

Wind Waker was also another game that people really disliked at first but, not like Sunshine, it gained the hearts of the nintendo fans.
It`s actually a really good game. I loved playing it... that look and how the game incorporated it... it was really something. Phantom Hourglass also uses that look but it wasn`t the same thing.

When it comes to the online store you have got to try it out!



Thought this story was a nice one that involved the Wii.

http://ibnlive.in.com/news/nintendo-wii-helps-stroke-patients-recover/272830-11.html

Sydney: Stroke patients considered too far gone to regain use of affected limbs are now showing signs of recovery because of a new therapy that utilises the Nintendo Wii.

Penelope McNulty, neurophysiologist at Neuroscience Research Australia, shows that an intensive, two-week training programme based on the Wii can bring about significant improvements in the way stroke patients are able to use their limbs, even for people that had a stroke many years ago.

"It was previously thought that the movement and function stroke patients had at the time they left hospital was the only recovery they would make. But we have worked with people who have had strokes one month to 21 years ago, and excitingly, they all improve," says McNulty, according to a Neuroscience Research statement.
Nintendo Wii helps stroke patients recover

"The Wii is inexpensive, easy to use and, very importantly, fun. This type of rehabilitation motivates participants to actually complete their therapy, which is essential for maximum recovery," McNulty says.

"Everyone notices improvements not just using the Wii, but in activities they do every day, such as opening a door or using a fork."

The findings were presented at the international conference of the Society of Electrophysiology and Kinesiology in Brisbane.

You^ did play the demo though right? Its fun!


I finally played the HoR demo and I want it.  At first I had a slight hangover and only played it a few minutes before putting it down.  After I smoked a bowl or two and drank some water I decided to pick it up and give it another try.  Reminds me of a Diablo like experience fit nicely into the 3DS.  I think I am going to buy it today if I get a nice check from my parents for my bday.  You still haven't let me know if I am on your friends list or not...  I have no clue.  Is your Mii name Ryan or something else.   Let me know cause I wouldn't mind playing some HoR with you once I get it.

Super Mario 3D Land is about to outsell Super Mario Sunshine making it the 4th best selling 3D Mario game to date. It might outsell Galaxy 2 by the holiday season.

3D Land - 6.30 m
Sunshine - 6.31 m
Galaxy 2 - 6.78 m
Galaxy - 10.19 m
64 - 11.89 m


mario 3d i wouldnt exactly call 3D myself as you didn't have the freedom to rotate the camera 360 degrees. to me it felt like its a hybrid inbetween 2D and 3D

So 3D Land could either be the soon-to-be 4th best selling 3D Mario, or the worst 2D selling Mario :P I like to see it as the 4th best selling ^^

I never played Galaxy 2, but despite Mario 64 being a much more revolutionary game (no one can forget the first time they saw it/played it), 3D Land is a better game. The Nintendo top genius worked hard on this one.
