Its so cool to hear this music again (on the Japanese site) http://nights.sega.jp/nights2/

Gonintendo are currently doing a live playthrough on their webcam: Stream Live Video

Iwata Asks (The Mario Galaxy dev team) part two in English is now up: http://us.wii.com/iwata_asks_vol2_index.jsp

gamasutra have an interview with Nintendo PR manager Eric Walter: On Friend codes & Monster Hunter 3: Storage Space: ...They need to stop with these stupid analogies that make no sense. Retro Studios: http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=15986

Jack Thompson on Fox news talking about Manhunt http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwQvRgGxHgc I know this hasnt got much to do with Europe and the UK ban but its kind of interesting. Also why is it every time they get someone to defend violent video games its some ranting idiot who can't even explain himself or his argument without getting hysterical and making themselves look like some unhinged nerd? This video is almost as bad as when JT was on 'attack of the show' and Adam sessler almost had a fit.

pretty good gameplay trailer (no actors or anything it just gameplay footage). This trailer shows Football, Skiing, the Hoola hoop game and Yoga:

Another interview with Perrin Kaplan this time at Multiplayer: http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2007/10/22/nintendos-perrin-kaplan-on-apple-comparisons-the-companys-new-gaming-calendar-and-the-missing-september-surprise-part-1-of-2/ At one point they touch on the storage space 'issue' again: About Bungie: And the Missing September surprise: Seriously...what's the deal with her attitude or am I missing her sense of humor

Hopfully the adverts on TV will make a point of showing how the game plays incase anyone just see's the title and think's its some kids platformer title. I really hope this sells well, and if I have a Wii by the time its released I'd buy it right away.

3 gameplay movies up at gametrailers: http://www.gametrailers.com/game/4824.html

That's so awesome. Also this picture alone has made my day:

Still got all my games and don't plan on getting rid of them: Smash brothers Melee Pikmin Star Wars Rouge leader II Luigi's Mansion Super Mario Sunshine Mario Party 4 Metroid Prime Phantasy Star Online Zelda Wind Waker Animal Crossing (USA) Ultimate Muscle (USA) Soul Calibur 2 F-zero GX Mario Kart Double Dash Phantasy Star Online 3 C.A.R.D (USA) Pikmin 2 Resident Evil 4 (USA) Donkey Konga Donkey Konga 2 Donkey Kong Jungle Beat Wario World Wave Race Blue Storm Mario Tennis Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes Paper Mario StarFox Adventures Zelda Four Swords Freeloader Disc 3 Memory cards 3 sets of Bongo's 1 Controller 1 GBA to Gamecube Lead

Dewys adventure is a good game, but it gets a lot of heat since it wasnt Metal Gear Wii or Silent Hill when it was annouced IGN's review of it is total bollocks too.

To be honest I think they don't need to improve the graphics since it’s a beautiful looking game anyway. Maybe ad a littler more content to make the game longer… but really this is one of the few Wii games that I don't mind being a straight port

http://wii.ign.com/articles/828/828620p1.html Straight from Ready at Dawn. First, the game will be a direct port with no new content: The graphics will not be enhanced:

New Wii-k in review is up, here's a summary done by _Alkaline_ at NeoGAF: http://uk.wii.ign.com/articles/828/828949p1.html

I'm really happy about that, I'm not a huge Tails fan but I think it's cool Sonic got an assist trophy from his world. I'm guessing this means Solid snake will have on too, which should be awesome.

American advert: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/119099.html?playlist=featured (guy is trying to interview Mario but Sonic keeps interfering)

This is the greatest news in the history of the universe.

About 2 weeks ago the Japanese Nintendo site had a new 'Iwata ask's' article with developers of Mario Galaxy but obviously it was in Japanese . Neither Nintendo.co.uk or.com has translated it yet (and the JP site is up to part 3) but this guy has translated part 1: http://3e8.org/writings/iwata-asks/super-mario-galaxy-vol-1.html I accidentally posted this in the Paper Mario tread before

10 minute long off screen footage from IGN http://uk.media.wii.ign.com/media/896/896694/vids_1.html

So the embargo from last weeks NOA conference thing has been lifted, Gamespot have put up a video of the Nintendo rep playing Galaxy: http://uk.gamespot.com/video/915692/6181056/super-mario-galaxy-video-feature-2

Gameplay footage and trailer combined in one video: I had forgotton the embargo on all the gaes at the NOA conference was lifted today/tonight
