Still from what I hear the two Mario biggies (Galaxy and Kart) are going to be straddled either side of Xmas; I think Galaxy is out in the US before Xmas and Kart afterwards, with the reverse in Europe.

I sincerely hope that's not the case - where did you hear that?

SMG should be out November 12 in the US and I'm pretty confident that they'll stick with the EU release of Q4 2007. AFAIK, Mario Kart is a Q1 2008 game, global. Let's see what happens. Anyways, personally, I'm not that worried if SMG gets delayed - tomorrow I'll get my hands bloody with Trauma Center, and looking at the release lists, there's surprisingly many Wii-games coming out in 2007 that are in the must buy category for me:

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, September 2007

Battalion Wars 2, September 2007

NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams, November 2007

Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, November 2007

Endless Ocean (Forever Blue), 2007

Zack & Wiki, 2007

And then there's the possibility of Manhunt 2. And quite a bunch of 'wait and see' and 'still waiting for a release date' games, like Nitro Bikes, No More Heroes, Geometry Wars: Galaxies, etc.. Maybe I'll even try Paper Mario this time around. Oh, and Phantom Hourglass, Contra 4 and GW on the DS. Space Giraffe, Bioshock, Forza 2, etc. on 360. Pheow...enough is enough.

I heard that's the case with MK and SSBM, not MK and SMG.

Do check out Super Paper Mario (if that was the Paper Mario you were referring to) because it's absolutely great

I assume it must get a release date sometime soon as it's been out in the USA forever. It certainly is a great time to have a Wii / 360 though - lots of excellent stuff on the way!

Cheers

Go to write email on Wii

Plug a keyboard into the Wii's USB port

Type away
Works with my Saitek Eclipse 2.

Works with the old (fat) Apple keyboard.

I think, I can see more cities outside my set region in the weather channel... am I wrong?

Also, why does Japan have different weather symbols?

Super Paper Mario is due in Europe on the 14th of September... unless they find a word starting with S and ending in pastic in it...

Actually I think you're right, just getting confused in my old age...

galaga 90 (pce)

Yay: I just hit 8000 star points. Now all I need is something to spend them on. Get your finger out with them stars -> Wii points, Nintendo!

My fingers are twitchy as hell, wanting to play Bioshock

What reviews I've read so far:

A dark and astonishing masterpiece...I spend my career, and my gaming life, waiting for a moment when a game just astonishes me, when I can't believe what I'm seeing, what I'm doing. BioShock has five.

Amazingly written and beautifully constructed, it's a complete emotional rollercoaster which we can't drawn any parallels with...You'll be playing this game for months to come, exchanging story elements to build up the bigger picture, and arguing about what it all means

Damn, sounds like they actually pulled it off

I, too cannot wait for Bioshock, but it's a 360 game, so why is this in the Ninty thread?

Any word on date and conversion yet? I have a couple of thousand points that need to be spent. Good for ninty, cos I'll buy a classic controller then.

Too right there is. Where did that go? It's one of the few games I really want released on VC. Especially as I've resorted to playing the relatively poor GC version recently.

Nothing that I've heard yet.

For those lucky ones with a US Wii... check out the shopping channel.

By the sounmds of it, there is a WiiWare section up and you can download video previews of Metroid Prime 3.

I'm jealous. May not appear on the EU Wiis until closer to release.

Edit: Slow video of it at http://www.nintendogal.com/index.php?/a ... eview.html
