    Myeah, more games is good.

    I don't get why unlocking the SD slot won't happen until spring next year...

    What? That's a two year line up?

    Can't wait - there's a few games I'll definitely want to try out - Echoes of Time, Sonic and the Black Knight, Fragile, Punch Out!, Wii Music etc.

    I do wonder where's your classic names though - looking forward to hopefully seeing Star Fox, Donkey Kong, F-Zero etc for Wii - it's been nearly two years without these bigger names coming up.

    Partly - I'm sure there'll be a hell of a lot more games announced towards the end of 2008 and next year itself.

    Still not good enough, in my opinion. Where\'s Nintendo key franchises? Starfox, F-Zero, Donkey Kong, 1080, Wave Race and plenty of other ones.

    It\'s nice to see some more games though. Punch-Out could be good and I loved Another Code, so I can\'t wait for that.

    Nintendo will be re-releasing (porting, no changes) a handful of Wii games under the \"Enjoy on Wii\" line � including Pikmin and DK Jungle Beat.

    This is my favourite part, hopefully they will re-release a few of the games I missed. I\'m hoping they will re-release Pikmin 2, as I never got the chance to get it.

    Exactly!

    Dying for a new Starfox and Donkey Kong! Definitely need a new "proper" StarFox (a la SNES/N64), and a decent DK platformer too!

    Wave Race is essentially packed into Sports Resort, I guess. 1080, or something similar would be awesome!

    Melee online maybe? Smilie

    PunchOut was slightly surprising, and I'm not too excited about it... It's PunchOut, but 3D. That clip kinda reinforces that...

    SD Cards...that was their answer after their many months of "research". My fucking god how stupid are they!!!!!!!

    I haven't heard of that Cosmic Walker.. what was that about!?!?

    I see all these people insulting the Nintendo corporation because of the lack of mature content. Yet there is something about Nintendo (at least their games) that strikes a certain unadulterated feeling of joy!!!  Pokemon Y - 1048-9263-5562

    Theres loads I havnt heard off..

    \"SD Cards...that was their answer after their many months of \"research\". My fucking god how stupid are they!!!!!!!\"

    They probably spent age working out if it was possible to load games from a slower-speed medium without it being too long/unseamless for the person playing the game.
    I think its going to be cacheing the data internaly.
    Either invisibly, or maybe with a user interface system. (which they would have to make as friendly as possible)

    Of course, people will moan again when they spot it isnt as instant loading as internal SDD games.

    Of course we'll moan! How easy would it have been to release an external harddrive? It could have been out by now. But NO, Nintendo HAD to find something that was "consumer friendly" or however they work out what that means.

    Sorry, but SD card unlocking (if that's what it is) will be ready a whole YEAR after they awknowledged the problem, and that's bad.

    anyone who says Nintendo doesn\'t care about its fans can now STFU. This definitely makes up for Nintendo\'s E3 line up.
    Though I don\'t think much of the DSi...
