    @ Stephen Totillo, Wouldn't the NP cover be from 2006? It says "Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess Update" which came out in 2006

    @twizm: Too late. They wear Che Guvera shirts without knowing that he is a mass murdering Communist revolutionist from Boliva. All they know that his image is a "revolution", and they wear it for "irony" or something.


    I don't want casual gamers to succeed over the hardcore gamers. This is the type of thing that could make gaming stale and produce mass-shovelware across all three platforms. As long as it is limited, then we won't be forced to look at 20 workout "games" each year.

    I know some dudes who's idea of a good time is getting drunk and then throwing bricks and bottles at people wearing Che Guevara shirts.

    None of those Wiimotes have the protective rubber condom on! And I don't see a single person wearing the wrist strap. They should kiss their eyes and TVs goodbye.

    The Wii is like the N64 in some ways.


    Sure, it only has a handful of good games. But in the long run, a lot of today's kids will have fond memories of Wii Bowling and Klonoa.

    @BubbleF**kingBuddy: N64 had more than just a "handful" of good games.


    Just plop some kid in front of Donkey Kong 64 for a few days, and you'd be surprised on how much he would enjoy the game even if he never played an N64 before.

    @n00b_pwner: You're comapring the library the Wii has now to what the N64 had for it's entire cycle. Still, that's like what? 30 good games?

    man. that artwork looks pretty neat. i never experienced the first game, but if this one is minus all the bugs and rushedness everyone talks about that plagued the first one.. ill be all over it. i kinda like ubisoft.. and they support the wii better than anyone esle besides sega and capcom.


    heres hoping kotakuers 10 years from now will be talking about this game like some of us talk about goldeneye. in my opinion.. if youre going to make an fps only for a console.. especially one with weak online.. have an amazing local multiplayer with bots.. and it will still be just as good.

    I enjoyed the first one, it's no where near as bad as people make it out to be -- it's no classic, but it's competent.

    Is there even a demographic for this game, or any other FPS on the Wii for that matter? The people that want FPS games probably got a 360 or a PS3. Even if they own a Wii, why purchase a graphically inferior FPS for the Wii when the good FPS' are on other consoles?


    I'm sure some people will pick it up, but it won't sell as well as FPS games on 360 or PS3, and it definitely won't sell as well as Animal Crossing or Mario Galaxy on the Wii....


    So what is the motivation for FPS on Wii?

    Metroid Prime 3 works. Though, Bioshock came out around the same time and did much better.


    It's hard to really compare unless you look at multiplatform titles. Like Call of Duty 3 or World at War, though I have no idea how their sales compare.

    "wielding a sword in a Wii game feels as real as you'd always dreamed!"


    I was unaware that that was a long running dream of mine.


    For serious? I thought that was everyone's Wii dream? :/
