GameStop clarifies Wii Reservation program details

Where do did you get a Mario Kart release date? Spill it!

"....So other than Mario Galaxy new Wii owners won't have missed much anyways."

Right. Except that you're completely incorrect. Yes. Your OPINION is incorrect. To say Galaxy is the only thing to play on Wii until Feb. or March is laughable, laughable like you in the mirror.

There's games out the yang for Wii, almost double the amount out on PS3, and I'm sure someone will find something in addition to Galaxy that they like. Especially someone just purchasing a Wii.

How can a person opinion be incorrect? If I say that to me the Wii had nothing spectacular to offer till Galaxy. Well then shut it and go play your glut of forced waggle PS2 ports.

Sure, there's games "out the yang" for the Wii... but outside of first party titles, there's little worth a damn due to these developer/publishers wanting to cash-in on the craze by just throwing gaudy-1st party mocked, should've been on the DS instead, and/or broken "waggle-ware" games... which is sad, because the console is fun to use, and deserves better. It's not like the third-party supporting publishers don't have memorable characters (MegaMan, Sonic, et al.)... Since the technology used in the Wii Remote & other accessories aren't new; it's hard to figure out why Nintendo doesn't seem to have difficulty, and yet they do.

Personally speaking, I wish Nintendo would also voice digust in false or misadvertised games too. For example, the blue control scheme insignia on the back of game cases on back. There's no real clarification on an exact number of players or controllers a game requires. Especially if the number is referring to *online* multiplayer, like in MEDAL OF HONOR2. It says 4 on the back, making assumption that there's a 4 player offline play functionality, but it actually means you can have multiple players *online*(up to 32). I wouldn't nitpick this so much if it wasn't for the fact of catching a hassle for returning/exchanging videogames due to stringent return policies at a lot of electronic retailers.

They're called guns. Target practice, maybe?

This is why I will put the Grinch's theme on December 24th and sit outside of Gamestop selling the two consoles I bought, at a starting "bid" price of $600.


Ho ho ho. Merry Capitalism. >:)

you're a mean one, mister grinch
you really are a heel

the 3 words that best describe you are as follows and i quote:

stink, stank, stunk

I think the real joke is how the 360 has been out a full year before Wii and already has been surpassed by it in hardware sales. What was that about getting a head start on the competition? How about getting a quality product (i.e. Wii) out for the consumers instead.

Well, apparently there are millions of cattle out there who disagree with you, because ps3 and 360 controls are too confusing, and they dont like FPS's, or something. Hell I dont know.

true dat!

"I think the real joke is how the 360 has been out a full year before Wii and already has been surpassed by it in hardware sales. What was that about getting a head start on the competition? How about getting a quality product (i.e. Wii) out for the consumers instead."

That's because so many people have bought into the hype of the Wii. You have old people buying for the bowling, kids telling their parents they need it only because their friends have it, and so on. Also because of the fact that there is a shortage more people are inclined to believe that it is a must have item. The scarcity of the Wii has really helped drive its sales.

For me the 360 has much more to offer. Yes I own a Wii , but unfortunately outside of a few titles there is not much that I have enjoyed playing for the system. If you want to talk about quality talk about the lack of quality games that the Wii offers. Unfortunately Nintendo has no official licensing process and due to that and the low cost of development you have a large number of garbage titles. I would rather see a few solid games over a large amount of crappy games any day. Outside of a handful of first party titles and like 2 or 3 third party titles, what good games are available for the Wii?

Just so you don't call me a fanboy, I own a 360, Wii, and PS3 and have enjoyed playing all of them. I have just enjoyed playing the Wii less.

Nintendo actually has the most stringent licensing process of all 3 consoles makers, but it's not about quality, it's about keeping the Nintendo image kosher. Besides Manhunt, nothing too violent has managed to make it's way onto Nintendo consoles because of the licensing, which is kinda funny when you think of games like goldeneye, metroid, and even turok that have found success through Nintendo.

But i agree that Nintendo needs to increase the amount of it's 1st party titles, or find some more quality 3rd party ones, cause the offerings now and disappointing. i can really only beat zelda and play tennis so many times.

awesome avatar.

Trust me, we...err, "they" will get their hands on a few, LoL... ¬_¬
