Amazing, a good game comes in 3 months more... I love it!!... Now I got a good game to play every month in my wii...
Also this is just an expansion pack should have been DLC durp hurp durp
This is fucking amazing news.
I never believed any of the rumours for a second that it would hit during the middle of the year, given Nintendo's track record. A release only three months after announcement almost seems unbelievable to me!
I didn't expect to be playing anything in the middle of this year, so it better not be too far behind in Europe.
There's gonna be a preview?
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Happy. Happy. Joy. Joy. Yoshi!
Thank you, Nintendo!
I can't deal with this, Metroid, and Cave Story news all in one day.
Here's Birthmark Destructor's "About Me" page: "i'm birthmark destructor. my favorite games are Halo 1, GTA San Andreas, CODMW2."
So... a 12-year-old, maybe, but definitely not a "casual or a Wiifag".
Than why are you even posting in a thread about it? You must care about it in some form, or another, because if you didn't care, than you wouldn't he here posting about it!
May 23rd is a Sunday
March 23rd on the other hand would be a Tuesday.
So, again, what's the right date?
Nintendo often releases its games on a Sunday. New Super Mario Bros. Wii is the latest example.
lol, that says it all.
Really? Ok, then I apologize - Nintendo never does that in the EU - we got NSMBWii on a regular Friday, which is the usual release-day for new stuff.
Nintendo went and forgot about the whole U R MR GAY fiasco and highlighted those SAME LETTERS again for the sequel's logo? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Just because he's not excited by a new Nintendo game that will likely not prove to be that much different from it's predecessor doesn't mean he's incapable of enjoying quality titles. Clearly he does just that, just not cartoon platformers.
And guess what, people, THAT'S OKAY! Not everyone has the same tastes in... well... anything. Get over yourselves.
I, for one, thought Super Mario Galaxy was boring and trite. Just because Mario ran around on spherical worlds, which Ratchet and Clank had been doing since the PS2 days, and they threw in some horribly controlled new suits for him to wear (fuck you spring, fuck you) doesn't make it a great title. And don't even get me started on the lack of a story. I tell ya, only Nintendo could release a major title these days with a complete lack of a story and have it be heralded as the best in the platforming genre.
But guess what, I don't care if you agree with me nor do I think you should. You're allowed to enjoy the games you play as I am allowed to enjoy mine. To each his own. Move on with your lives.
