the mario theme song.

"There was once a time when a lot of people like N'Sync too, doesn't mean all those people were smart and had taste."

nice job covering your ass either way.

the game doesnt sell well? HA LOOK AT THAT, CASUALS DON'T CARE ANYMORE, NINTENDO'S DONE FOR.

game does sell well? SALES MEAN NOTHING, PEOPLE HAVE BAD TASTE

and yet, the same man in an interview with IGN

IGN: So, on the Wii, you can achieve a display resolution that only goes up to a certain point. But other systems offer more power and more resolution, and could potentially make the 2D art look even more beautiful. So why the decision to stick with the Wii when a game like this could maybe look better on, say, the Xbox 360?

Kamitani: That question's been asked many times. It's not that I definitely wanted to do the game for Wii, though I wrote in the original design document that it's for Wii. The reason is that our PS2 know-how could be brought over straight to the Wii. Actually, I made presentations for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, but it was just too expensive.

the DS NSMB has sold almost 20 million with twice the install base, so it's not unthinkable for the wii game to sell 10 million.

But in such a short time frame? probably not.

Sonic Rush on DS was actually halfway decent, especially when compared unleashed/black knight/sonic '06.

The main problem is FAR too many sonic games are being released. I think that's one of the reasons mario games are still great while sonic games aren't. We don't see 3-4 mario games a year (spinoffs aside, I'm talking actual platformers.) Instead, Nintendo takes their time and puts out one solid game at a time.

But then again, people are buying these new terrible games by the millions, so Sega has no motivation to stop driving sonic team and the sonic franchise into the ground.

Six Flags Water Park when I was younger, good times were had.

Easily some of the best games to come out of the last couple generations.

Looking forward to it.

Played this at a friends a couple days ago. Unlike bit.trip.beat there's no penalty for multiplayer like the smaller paddles in the orignal, so that made things a bit easier. We managed to beat level 1 on our first try but died on level 2 about 80% though it.

The Conduit only had one week of sales in june (launched on the 24th), so it's not surprising that it didn't chart. Word is it sold around 150k so far though.
