Super Mario 64 had 16 levels, though I guess by 40 'galaxies' they may be including Luma galaxies and such, but still, a good amount

That advert was amazing! I'm hoping they use that in the UK and not some people playing it in a white room with about 5 seconds of footage.

They should have just made their mind up about what they wanted the game to be It was like a Sonic racing game with a few other Sega characters. They should have either had a game based on all of the Sega series with a decent level for each series or just gone for a fully fledged Sonic racer. The fact that there was no Crazy Taxi level made me want to die inside. Why include BD Joe if he has no level!? Also, the fact that Banjo Kazooie was in the 360 version just made it more confusing. It's a Sonic Racing game with a few other Sega series thrown in and for some reason, two Rare characters.

I can see where your coming from, Nintendo games seem to have generally been quite few and far between. This year is looking brilliant with Metroid Other M, Mario Galaxy 2, Sin and Punishment, WarioWare DIY etc... and I just wish the last few years would have had so many classics! Back to the iPhone, I think it's clearly a competitor for both Sony and Nintendo, it's taking handheld gaming in a totally different direction and I think it's going to be hard for Nintendo to decided whether they should sell full, £30 handheld games or go the way of the iPhone and have downloadable ones. Hopefully they'll have a mixture of the two but DSiWare didn't seem to... pick up, compare the DSi library to the iPhone and there's an incredible difference.

Cranky Kong is apparently the first Donkey Kong that kidnapped Pauline which is why he is always moody, to go with his evil past and in the intro to Donkey Kong Country, Cranky Kong is even on the building site. Also, I'm pretty sure one of the many things Cranky Kong moans to you about includes his past as being the Kidnapping ape he once was. The Donkey Kong we know now is what was known back then as Donkey Kong Junior I believe!

Sonic And Sega All Stars Racing With Banjo Kazooie! or... SASASRWBK What a great name.

The terrible thing is... DONKEY KONG ISN'T PLAYABLE IN RECENT MARIO PARTY GAMES Why do Nintendo hate Donkey Kong so much?!

I'm surprised Epic Mickey is coming out so soon! Wave still seen so little about it, hopefully that will change! And this MySims series is getting pretty big it seems.

If they are planning to take on Apple I doubt this is going to be at the top of their list, you don't see many hardcore games on the iPhone afterall. Though Bejewelled Blitz is a bitch.

I can't recall walking through boring and repetitive corridors in Wii Music and then having to backtrack for power ups which I had in the first place - so Wii Music wins. No, in all seriousness, I know Metroid is a quality game and I'm sure it's great but it's really not my cup of tea. I'm just trying to prove a point that not EVERYONE thinks Wii Music is a pile of shit because some people actually played it for more than 10 minutes. Before you ask, I did indeed buy and play a LOT of Metroid Prime before I finally gave up due to being bored shitless.

It's just progression really, we naturally want everything to be improved. I for one would love improved graphics, the reason people want better graphics is because it draws them in and makes the experience a whole lot better. I don't think anyone would want a photo realistic Mario but imagine a Mario game that had graphics similar to a Disney Pixar film!

July 30th is the day that all of my dreams come true.

I don't think every single game that Nintendo makes has to be original though and whilst EA and Ubi Soft do make a lot of these games, like you've just said, most of them are shit. Maybe Nintendo just want to make a definitive party game on Wii.

I would have agreed with you in the past but since the DSi I think Nintendo might actually head in that direction. The DSi plays music, takes pictures and can browse the internet, the only problem is... it doesn't do any of those very well :P As long as the 3DS has all of those features but improved (the ability to play MP3'S! a decent camera and possibly 3G?) then I think it could rival the iPhone without needing to be... a phone. I've worded that terribly but I hope I got my point across

So your just assuming this will be bad? I'd agree that a lot of 'party' games aren't of a great quality but to just assume this game will be rubbish is stupid. Especially when you consider this is a 'Wii ---' game, all of those, bar Wii Music, have been fun and enjoyable. Heck, I actually like Wii Music. Shit, did I just say that? Don't judge me!

This sounds nearly as fun as My Aquarium on Wiiware! I'm hoping this has Motion Plus support!

I wanted a Mario Party 9! The Wii seems like the perfect system for a Mario Party with motion controls yet all we got was Mario Party 8, which started out as a Gamecube game I believe? Despite the fact this won't have Mario and co, the other Wii something games have been good so hopefully this one will be too! Online would be great but I doubt it.

Make Mario Kart 64 online with Wii Speak, then I will pay any amount. ANY.

It's something that everyone has to go through I suppose, just look at Ash, Misty and Brock! (Slits wrists over misty) I've always found saying goodbye hard but like a lot of you have said, recently it's been much easier to keep in touch with people through the use of Facebook and so whilst I don't see my friends everyday, every month or two I arrange a day to meet them all, have muchos fun and bask in their amazingness. If you really like these people that you speak of i'm sure that you can stay in touch no matter how little you see them. Sure, it's not as good as seeing them everyday but at least they will still be a part of your life. People move on, move away, have their own lives and sadly it's just something you have to deal with.

Smash Bros Brawl. It's no Melee. I was SO hyped for the game because Melee is my all-time favourite! With great characters and brilliant music I don't know why I didn't enjoy this as much... Oh wait, I do. IT WAS SLOWED DOWN! After recently playing Melee I realised! Your character and the levels are much faster in Melee and I actually found out that Brawl was slowed down so that it is ''more accessible''. Melee is just so much more fun and fast paced and the levels have much more charm! Melee also has a HUGE Nintendo feel, whereas Brawl is less ''In your face'' Nintendo with Pikmin and Isle delfino levels as oppose to Poké floats and Princess Peach's castle. Also, there are less items on screen! One of my all time favourite things to do on Melee was to go on multiplayer, set the items to Pokéballs only, with the item setting as ''very high'' and have a crazy Poké filled match with sometimes up to 7 Pokémon at once! I try it on brawl and there are only 3 Pokémon at once at the most!

That was amazing! I love the drawing of Jynx

That bottom right controller is one crazy wavebird!

The anticipation is actually killing me.

I'm not sure if this has already been posted but it blew my mind:

I'm gonna' go for the Lib Dems. I've been undecided as to if I should go for Lib Dems or back to Labour but I've made up my mind... my only worry is that, as far as I can see, the Conservatives are going to win. This isn't an educated prediction though, i'm just going off what the majority of my friends and the people around me are going to do. Why do people like these homophobic, posh twats so much? Even my parents are voting for them!
