It's more suprising that despite a humongous 3rd party shafting that the Wii has managed to spit in their faces for most of the 2 and a half years its been out.

3rd Parties don't go to the Wii not because they won't work for Nintendo but more so that Nintnedo won't work for them.

You mean Nintendo is not willing to pay for it like Microsoft and SONY?

Fixed.

In terms of the Wii's demand meeting supply well that's kind of obvious being that well that overtime the people who wanted the Wii got it. I mean yeah supply and demand are meeting parallel, but you have to keep in mind that Nintendo is shipping more Wii's then ever. I agree that Nintendo needs to get their game on gear but I'm not too worried about the Wii in North America and Europe.

3rd Parties don't go to the Wii not because they won't work for Nintendo but more so that Nintnedo won't work for them.

Can you elaborate on that last point?

Case and point what I listed above. "But that's evil megacorpration stuff!!!" Too bad. Welcome to 2009 guys, the gaming world has evolved and went from a mere toy to a product and a product of business at that. If you want company's like Capcom, Activisions, or EA to TRULY support your system you have to pay them. This is how it's been ever since the Playstation erupted the market as SONY practically paid for the entire development of Final Fantasy VII, as well as made deals to gather the whole Square-Enix dynasty, as well as tossing their hats to Capcom to make the powerhouse known as Resident Evil, and God knows what else.

It seems to me that Nintendo, like many other things, is just behind the times. Yes they did this with Dragon Quest X and Monster Hunter 3 but this is a case of something really big being too late and they're only really big in Japan. The only third parties will flock to the Wii if their games will create more money for them then them being on both the PS3 and 360 as well as the money Microsoft and SONY is paying them to stay on their consoles. Oh and let's not forget things like keeping the third parties informed about what's going on and their products.

Hey Punk or Darth, if I pick up a copy of The Witcher new I'll be able to update it to the enhanced edition for free, yeah?

EB of all people are holding a nice little sale, and I was thinking of picking up Crysis Warhead and The Witcher Collectors Edition (supposedly it's the CE) for $50.

It's a 900MB patch (and you can download all the extra stuff, like the soundtrack for free), but you need to register...I think.

But yes, you can. Though I'd try find a copy of the EE first. Granted, you'll pay more, but at least you'll have all the stuff you otherwise wouldn't get with the regular game. Plus, it saves on your download limit.

That's depressing. I mean also pre-Wii even money hatting, they weren't in a good position to expect exclusives. But financially, with the success you would have expected more.

Some sites are reporting that Stan Bush's "The Touch", best known for being used in the '86 Transformers movie will be a free download for GHWT.

As well as that, a reworked version will appear in the upcoming sequel.

Hey Steel, I helped scan a man's balls today. Thought you'd like to know.

By Scan you mean rubbed right?

Oh cool, Marble Saga AKA Kororinpa 2 has custom balls

Level editors, more levels, Wiiconnect 24, Balance board support too.

If it weren't for Boom Blox 2 I might have got this.

Foolz said:

Cool, thanks!

Which is just the short story isn't it?

I get the feeling I really wouldn't like it, so I'm not really too bothered. And if it actually was the collector's edition, I'd be getting a decent range of stuff that I wouldn't get with the EE anyway. (I think just an artbook and a DVD, actually). So yeah, hard to argue with $25.

Short Story, a rewriten manual and game guide, a making of DVD and TWO music CDs - that's what I got in the EE.

Can we please ban any further updates on the Indiana Jones game?  Posting pictures of that is just a waste of good quality internet.

Nope we first have to ban IGN editorials, then we can talk indy!
