Thats probably it. I forgot all about his taunt from Melee.

That was at gaming age forums but I think it originally came from Famitsu.com Oh and about Mario's size...I reckon whoever playing as Mario has just picked up a mushroom since Mario did not seem that large in the other screenshot with Snake choking out Mario.

Its like Snakes had a nervous breakdown during battle and Mario's asking him whatsa wrong.

Yeah thats most probably his grab or if not I'd guess it works like Jigglypuffs Singing move, putting you to sleep for a short while.

Did you ever think you'd see that done to Mario in a Nintendo game?

Pre ordering Mario Galaxy in the states gets you this coin: ...yeah

Great great news. That picture alone made my day. I like the fact that he hinted that their will be more then just fighting each other online.

IGN have a new trailer http://uk.media.wii.ign.com/media/873/873984/vids_1.html

This is from the Aussie Nintendo site: http://www.nintendo.com.au/nintendo/news/index.php I think this is incredible...shame I don't own a Wii to get that lost levels download. Looks like its going to become a digital collectors item!

Amazing. Still have not brought a Wii myself though.

gonintendo are reporting that there's already another firmware update but this is a small one to fix a internet channel glitch. I'm not a Wii owner so can anyone check if its up for thr EU? thanks =)

Here are the two new videos: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=BYlcyECCuPs

Do you think the Pokemon trainers alt costumes/colors could be different characters like a female trainer or Brock or Ash? Such a cool update btw.

Yeah I hope they do stuff like this for Smash brothers and Mario Galaxy when they get released. I'm guessing the EU will get these Metroid trailers in Wii Ware closer to release date.

American Wii owners who check the Wii shop channel now and go to Wii ware can download two Metroid prime 3 trailers with two more to be released on the 13th. There's a video for it already up at Nintendogal but the site is suffering from amss traffic at the moment: http://www.nintendogal.com/index.php?/archives/1827-New-WiiWare-Metroid-Prime-3-Preview.html Can any of you EU Wi owners have a check on Wii ware to se if NOE have put it up for us?

Gamefaqs and Neo gaf both seem a bit confused as to whether its o the PAL Wii's yet though.

Aparently the Wii Ware section of the Wii shop channel has been updated with two Metroid prime 3 trailers..can any of you confirm if that applys to the EU/PAL Wii's also? Nintendogal have a video up: http://www.nintendogal.com/index.php?/archives/1827-New-WiiWare-Metroid-Prime-3-Preview.html

IGN did a 2 page feature on Shenmue 1&2 plus whether they think Shenmue 3will happen or not: http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/articles/811/811423p1.html

Notice Funky Kongs Gyrocopter in the sky in this shot:

Item update: Q: Why does it say MOTHER on this item? A: Is there anything WRONG with having an item that says that? The Franklin Badge. It’s a little small. Just put it on your chest for now. I mean, it IS a badge... It doesn’t stand out much, but characters who wear this badge are protected from projectiles. I’ve been shot! It... It bounced off! In other words, this item gives you reflector capabilities—and you don’t even have to do anything. Talk about handy! And reliable! But it won’t stay on through an entire match, so be sure to notice when it comes off partway through the match. Otherwise, you’ll regret it Come on, now! Where are you sticking that thing?

Gamespot did a little demo of the game on their web show 'on the spot'. They stary playing Zack and Wiki about 4-5 minutes into the show so you can skip to that part: http://uk.gamespot.com/shows/on-the-spot/?tag=subnav;on_the_spot This game looks cool, I didnt know anything about it until today.

Part of the article: I don't recal people calling it a Halo killer, and fans of Metroid know the game is totally different. Also, saying things like that ust discredits him a bit here. Its like he cares to win some fanboy battle over 360owners having halo 3.

Just a music update today: Kid Icarus: The Underworld http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/index.html
