I'm claiming they need to be fixed. I know SE has stated such and such about Chrono, but I also doubt Nintendo has been aggressively courting them. I'm sure if Nintendo started throwing money at them, Squeenix wouldn't sit on Chrono forever. Instead, we get Kirby Avalanche and Kirby 64 while Kirby Super Star and Kirby's Dreamland 3 are still missing. Please don't pretend like Nintendo has been feverishly negotiating trying to get games onto the VC -- they've been sitting on their classics.

And, yes I played Strikers. Did you ever play Mario Super Star Baseball? I feel Mario Super Sluggers will be a bit more like that. Although, from the sound of it, SS will also be more "casual" and Wii Sports-like. Doesn't seem like a game that could hold my attention for long.

Nintendo's last few "sports" offerings have been quite mediocre. Strikers was a bit of fun, but not deep by any means.

Here's hoping the media summit gives me something to get excited about.

Also, you need to stop asking for Chrono Trigger, SE said a year ago they weren't going to release it for VC or anything but a full repackage and re-release. @antialias02:Wii ware has a load of intresting games coming. It's also out of the three the service that gives the developer the most income. @Klaymen:Did you ever play Strikers? Super Sluggers is kind of built on that and it's crazy, crazy fun. Also, Strikers has fantastic online, so Super Sluggers will very likely have it too. @GREY GECKO:Pikman is likely in development as a new Zelda, but you typically never hear much about major first party games till they are at least 40% complete. New Zelda's also never show up before the third year of a system's life if there's one before it and with the rumored "revamping", then it may very well take even longer. To those crying about the event, no, the omgwtf games won't really be announced or show up till E3/Whatever E3 replacement the big three all go to. The second batch will be announced all at Spaceworld in Japan, that's early summer for us. Keep in mind the BIG AAA titles coming down the pipe in the next 90 days were all announced anywhere from a year to two years ago, but are being released now. Game Development takes time and only SE and a few others give stills and names to games in development that are only 5% or 15% done. If your going to post on here, use your brains people and cut out all the low level trolling or the Prinny God's gonna get his hammer wet.

But, I haven't seen anything that knocks my socks of yet. FF and Lost Winds look cool, but over all I feel that Nintendo's stubbornness towards giving us a worthwhile storage solution and demos for games (VC, WiiWare, and otherwise) will hurt the service.

@Yetanotheruninspiredscreename: I do applaud Nintendo for releasing "import" games. Getting to finally play Sin&Punishment is a good thing. However, I feel I would be more apt to purchase VC games if a large library was available right off the bat. Waking up every monday to find two mediocre NES games, or one 64 game, just isn't cutting it. Like many others I would love to see Kirby Super Star, Mario RPG, Chrono, (and personally HM 64, and Space Station Silicon Valley) get VC releases soon, instead of Nintendo playing this very odd "Disney Vault" game with us.

...the big announcements aren't coming until E3 people.

This is just a filler event highlighting the stuff coming out between now and mid-summer when the games announced at E3 will start arriving. The Wii doesn't suck and Nintendo isn't "teh DOOMED" because there haven't been a dozen huge announcements at his minor event.

A lot of it is new ips and new gameplay concepts. Lots of import games are coming to the vc. It's just getting the wiiware service that is delaying the vc releases for the us.

How can Nintendo impress me? New IPs. New Pikmin. Stop this "two crappy VC games a week" madness and let us download any classics NOW. Banish the developers that spit out Cruisn' USA-esque graphics.

That game looks horrible. They're blending the game series known for its speed, with a genre that is second only to strategy for slowness.

That being said, I find myself excited for Mario Super Sluggers, and I usually hate the mario sports titles. But with the wiimote, it should be awesome. SW: The force unleashed awesome as well.

To be honest I'm really looking forward to reading your thoughts on Sonic Chronicles. It actually looks rather interesting in comparison to the slew of humdrum Sonic games released over the past few years. Maybe that's just because the named "Bioware" is attached to the credits?
