Man, how am I gonna afford all these games???

Can we get someone in our respective countries to call a state of emergency for video gamers?

We're being flooded!

If we're being flooded by great games for the Wii, I won't complain.

Well, including all of the OTHER games that I want (Heavy Rain, FFXIII US version, God of War III, SSFIV, The Last Guardian which I hope will come this Holiday now that I am buying more than $200 worth of games), I'm barely going to have any money to LIVE!

I know what you mean, by my count I have at least 10(!) this year I want to buy. Luckily I already have 3, but still...

It's looking to be a strong year for Nintendo.

Super excited!

Art Style: light trax (WiiWare) - Spring
Art Style: Rotozoa (WiiWare) - Spring
Max & the Magic Marker (WiiWare) - March 8
Cave Story (WiiWare) - March 22
WarioWare DIY Showcase (WiiWare) - March 29
FlingSmash
and SuperMeatBoy?

Are these all crap wii-ware titles or legimately decent games?

People say Cave Story is good, but I dunno most that stuff sounds terrible.

cave story is the best indie game, hands down. if you're a fan of sotn-style castlevania or super metroid-style metroid, it is impossible to not love cave story.

super meat boy is also very well done. there is a free flash version available online.

Cave Story and Super Meat Boy? Yes. If you don't want to wait to try Cave Story, it's freeware for the PC. Super Meat Boy is by Edmund McMillen, creator of bitchin' and crazy stuff, and... some other guy I don't know anything about. Also, you can play the Flash based "proto-type" of Super Meat Boy, Meat Boy, on your Flash hub of choice. Or at least on NewGrounds at http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/463241

DIY Showcase is just a compliment for the DSi game WarioWare DIY, Art Style have always been good. MeatBoy and Cave Story should be pretty good, too. It's a strong list, though lacking in Night Game.

What!? Still no Black Wii release date for America got announced? Ugh, kiss my ass Nintendo, you sure no how to piss someone off!

Until they release a Black Wii they will never make a dime off me.

SuperMeatBoy looks gret.

Nothing has been announced past the month of May, so who knows. 20 bucks its announced at E3. Makes sense to me.

And Golden Sun DS, when's that coming out?

I think we can all expect to hear a great deal of news about Zelda Wii at this E3.

If I had to guess I'd say Japan will get it the December while the rest of us are left to cry until at least March of 2011.

FlingSmash? Is this line attack hero?

Sounds closer to Span Smasher.

I laughed really really hard.

Makes since that nothing has been announced past May. They don't want to announce everything now before E3. I would also agree that Zelda will be announced then.

I'm pretty sure Game and Watch Gallery 2 isn't a WiiWare title, but another DS title for Club Nintendo and the WiiWare Club Nintendo deal is Grill Off with Ultra Hand.

These Interest Me:
WarioWare DIY Showcase (WiiWare) - March 29
Monster Hunter Tri - April 20
Super Mario Galaxy 2 - May 23
Sin & Punishment: Star Successor (formerly Sin & Punishment 2) - June 7
Metroid: Other M - June 27

I'm getting Monster Hunter and Galaxy 2 (old lady loves it) for sure ... the other stuff is a toss up. Other M is looking fascinating ... good times, Nintendo.

SMG2 and M:OM HELL YES.

...wake me up when Golden Sun DS and Gen V Pokemon get dated.

Monster Hunter Tri and Other M are the ones that I'm waiting the most. And Golden Sun DS... and Zelda... and I haven't played Galaxy 1 yet... oh dammit.

Well, either Nintendo is giving their console a strong sendoff for once, or there won't be a Wii 2/WiiHD this year.

One game. Other M is all I see and I'm (maybe) getting that simply due to the Prime series. It's up in the air for the aggregate score to begin forming after release.

Of course no date for the real Wii Zelda game and of course no date for Golden Sun DS.

I've yet to finish the first Galaxy, so I doubt I'll be getting the sequel.

Oh well, more bells in my pocket.

Things that make you go Hmmm...

If Nintendo is showing all their cards now, I wonder what they have up their sleeve for Fall 2010. Perhaps Zelda??? What is their big game for the holidays?

Game & Watch Collection 2 is probably not for WiiWare; I'm quite certain it'll be the DS game that Club Nintendo members in Japan got.

I'm still excited for all these, but I want to see a release date for Golden Sun DS.

Awesome, 2 day one buys (Mario and Metroid) and a rental (Sin & Punishment)... not exactly putting your best foot forward, Nintendo... but still, a hell of a lot better then this past Christmas!

Hopefully E3 will bring some new games that'll actually come out this year! (And no, Zelda Wii is NOT coming out this year)

Dragon Quest 9: TBD. Up until now, nothing has come out that officially said DQ9 is even coming StateSide. Is this confirmation? I don't need a release date (though it would be nice) I'll be happy with the confirmation that it is coming.

I've said this in another post, I just bought a Wii and my wallet is already crying

WHERES PIKMIN 3!!!!!!!!!!!!1???????????/

they better announce it at E3 or god help them
