Shit, there's a strike in the transporting-business here in Norway. It just started. They have less than three weeks to resolve it... if they don't do it in time to drive out SMG2 to stores, I honestly cannot guarantee their safety. They don't want a horde of raging Nintendo-fanatics on their necks...

I think that a lot of what would make sense for them momentum wise is straightforward - at least for the GAF type audience. New Super Mario Brothers 3DS and Super Mario Galaxy 3 for the Wii HD - both as launch titles for their respective systems would keep us happy. The much bigger issue for them is carrying the momentum that they've enjoyed with Wii Fit and Wii sports into the new system.

That's nice. EAD Tokyo have developed two fantastic games for the Wii and I think it's time for them to move on to better hardware.
You seem to know a lot about Nintendo and their development structure and I think you could contribute a great deal on a thread I've had on my mind for quite some time (some kind of General Nintendo Development Discussion thread) but until I figure out how to set it up I'll ask you here:
With only Zelda Wii and Wii Party being announced from the EAD teams, do you think they've already completely switched to Wii2/3DS-development or are there still some other games coming up?
LOL okay... well yeah, in the original Galaxy, I always tried to get hurt so I could make the experience longer with the music and everything... I purposefully avoided those 6-life red mushrooms last time... I'm hoping I will desperately want to get them at every available opportunity this time :lolfernoca said:

How much are you americans paying for new, retail, nintendo wii 1st party games in the US?
A friend of mine lives at the border and I am considering asking him to buy me some stuff like Galaxy 2 and METROID: oM there if its worth the price.

Don't forget. Wii 2 being HD, having new feature set, having upgraded controls may require some time from the development teams to craft their initial game engines. Which may mean a longer wait.
I think Zelda Wii. Wii Party. and Wii Relax with vitality sensor will be your last inhouse Nintendo games from Japan. Maybe one last Retro and NST game each, complementing NOA "in-house" contributions.
The rest of the software releases will probably come from Nintendo's extended studios like HAL, Project Sora, Monolith, etc.
But I mean. Honestly. Iwata is doing a lot of behind the scenes stuff with the development teams. We may have to wait and see.

My order just shipped from Amazon; free two-day via Prime, expected delivery date is 25th!
So yes. Kmart is doing the $30 coupon sale tomorrow and yes, they have them all in stock. So I'm going to just wait another 8 hours and go to Kmart tomorrow morning at opening time and but SMG2 and Mario Party 8 because it's the only game I don't already have besides Strikers. My brother will be paying for Party though so it'll be much cheaper. Nice.

I don't even have a Wii anymore, and I am so tempted to buy this and play it at my parents house. Pure gaming bliss!

I don't mind. Every major Nintendo game has been worth the wait and I'll gladly wait for Galaxy 3 or whatever they're working on.
Shikamaru Ninja said:
Oh I completely forgot about Wii Relax (this might be by the Wii Fit team, right?). Do we actually have any idea on what console Retro and Project Sora are working on? I imagine they'd be working on the Wii with the 3DS coming up but was anything confirmed at all?

No and no on both accounts. Retro are not working on Metroid, and I think the last chatter was that they were not working on a FPS.
Otherwise we know absolutely nothing about the projects from either studio. Matt Cassamapple liked to pretend he knew about Retro's and said it was 'epic' or some other buzzword.

Lost finale and SMG2 release = Best Day Ever
I ended up going with Best Buy. I would have loved to have the $20 on Amazon, but I'm just too damn impatient.

Because there's only about two years at most left in this generation and the first of the next-gen consoles will probably be out late next year.Willy105 said:
Also the DS sold stronger the the Wii so it can last longer (as Nintendo's handhelds traditionally have).

I'm guessing it's just to shorten thread titles so the first page isn't a constant bombardment of "official thread."
The GameBoy/Portable line has always took longer... or shorter.. Well, the portables have never had a set schedule.
Only counting platform changes:
The original GB came out in 1989. (Includes pocket and colors)
The replacement was the Color which came out 9 years later in 1998.
Its replacement the GBA was in 2001. (Includes GBA SP and micro)
The DS was in 2004. (Includes DS lite, DSi and DSi XL)
The 3DS will be when? 2011? 2012?
So 9, 3, 3, 7/8 year gaps between architectures/platforms. Or devices that actually changed the device enough to require upgrading to play newer games. Though I guess you could also count the DSi if that's right since some games do require the DSi, right?

Oh man, $30 coupon?? hmm.. I already ordered the game on Amazon and I am getting a $20 coupon. I am starting to feel a bit greedy lol, will Amazon let me cancel my preorder??
edit: I spoke too soon. :lol Amazon just shipped the game. And I am getting the game on Monday, not Wednesday!!
To me, they look more like the lines of a barcode on the back of the SMG2 box, which will be scanned when I get it tomorrow.BowieZ said:
I have to admit, if the game itself is even half as entertaining as reading some people's reactions in this topic, I'm going to be one very happy gamer soon.

You know what. Pikmin 3 is a possibility. Depending how smooth the development process is going. So make that the final 4. Zelda Wii. Wii Party. Wii Relax. and maybe. Pikmin 3ii.
Retro and Project Sora? Who the heck knows.

25 stars in, and I still haven't done the same thing twice (Yoshi a few times, but you use him differently each time). Every single star throws in a new game mechanic, and they've all been awesome.
Yoshi + Chili = greatness. I wouldn't be surprised if the next Sonic tries to implement a few of those ideas.

I don't think there's any way that whatever Retro's working on isn't a Wii game. I mean...Corruption came out relatively early in the Wii's lifespan, and we haven't heard any word from them outside of the Prime Trilogy package, but you know that was not a major focus. Would they really have spent almost the entire Wii period making a game for the next system, that hasn't even been announced yet?
Just looking it up, Corruption was finished in 2007...would there have been enough information on the Wii's successor out by that time that Retro could seriously begin development? You'd think if anything that EAD Tokyo would have moved on to Wii2 following what they did with Super Mario Galaxy, but if anything they've only been speeding up.

That would imply Sega knew what they were doing.
Doorman said:
Retro either are or were working on a Wii game. The former because between Corruption and now the studio has only released the Trilogy, and thus have had muuuch time to conceptualise a new project and begin development. The latter if the studio shakeup set back titles, or Nintendo were not happy with whatever post-Corruption project they had going on, and decided to scrap it/re-work it in favour of something for either the 3DS or the Wii's successor.
But being on the Wii's successor will give the game at least 4, probably closer to 5, years of work, and the only way I can see that happening is if post-Corruption Retro was like pre-Prime Retro; a mess of shitty projects Nintendo eventually has to step in on.
Honestly...that wouldn't surprise me. Wasn't Metroid Prime even supposed to be somewhat of a mess until Nintendo really came in and got more direct with the project? Since then they've only had to worry about making more Prime games, so now that they don't have that to lean on and without some of their top guys...if they've struggled to come up with something truly amazing, they could well collapse. What a bizarre story that would become.EatChildren said:

Not sure if anyone cares, but there are other mislabeled songs in that ripped soundtrack as well!
I'm sure there are others too.
Chompworks Galaxy - way off!

I'm sure there are others too.
I don't know what to do - am going to get the game tomorrow of course but have coincidentally been also invited to a wii part that evening. But I don't know if I should just blow off the party to stay home and play galaxy by myself? Or maybe bring it so we can all bask in its awesomeness. Though I don't think it's really a party game... hmm...

Not sure if this was answered, but is there a display option for 4:3 or is it only widescreen.
It annoyed me that NSMB wii and Red steel 2 don't have any options for standard TV's.
