I loved the games showed. Other M is just..yeah I had to throw my arms up in victory because I was not expecting that at all, I was thinking "starfox"? once that power suit came on it was a wrap. And Team Ninja? those guys don't play.
I think you have to look at the entirety of whats happenign to Wii this year. Third Parties starting to come aboard and I am no convinced more than ever that the Wii is the console DS. NSMB propelled DS to the heights it is as did MKDS, MKWii has done that and now for the holiday season NSMB for Wii will also propell hardware again. Nintendo is going to continue to drive so much hardware that it will become even more idiotic not to support Wii, and because it is its own beast, that means "exclusively"
It is begining to really come together, RS2 looks absolutely awesome, I REALLLY wanna get my hands on that game. And with it being bundled WITH M+ it is a sign of Nintendo aggressively courting the third parties. It is included with Tiger10 and GS Tennis. Outside of Nintendo's first party offerings third party offerings are actually just as compelling, if not moreso.
Wii Sports Resort..Now call me what you will but that game looked dope! Especially that opening sequence. Am I the only one who can't wait for that game? Also, as quiet as its kept, alot of the activities shown bought images to my mind about what a full blown Zelda Wii could accomplish. It was a wondefrul conference, those that want to bitch or find something to bitch about feel free. I'll just be looking forward to one hell of a holiday season.
Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:
If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.
If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.
