Wow, 30 million Wiis, and yet none of them can connect with each other. Smilie


The former top user was Keven! You'd probably give birth to yourself 1000 times over until you sprout wings to fly away into the fading sun, that or you'd just turn into a lesbian. Who knows @_@ - L, 12/06/09

Galaxy deserves to be selling more! Why are people blind to greatness?!

"Do a Barrel Roll!"

SMG 2 will probably do 3 million between now and November 2010 and then do 1.5 million between Black Friday and December 2010.

Great game, but 2D is always more accessible.

Good, solid start for Galaxy 2 - definitely picking up, and it should sell well. Not just because it's a Mario game, but because it's damn challenging and great fun!
