There are Wii and PS3 shortages to factor in. DS is too high too.

Just started Return to Castle Wolfenstein for the original Xbox. I beat it back when it was first released in 2003, but haven't played it since. I'd forgotten how much fun this game can be! And no auto-regenerating life bar; just like the good o'le days of PC gaming. The graphics still look very good too.

Actually mine was fairly different. Here's what I predicted in last month's thread at GS:

1 & 2 Pokemon
3 Bad Company 2 360
4 Bad Company 2 PS3
5 God of War 3
6 New Super Mario Bros. Wii
7 Final Fantasy XIII PS3
8 Modern Warfare 2 360
9 Final Fantasy XIII 360

I guess I missed one so I might as well throw MLB in at 10.

I think I really low-balled the Final Fantasy XIII games though. Thinking it over again I'd probably go:

1 & 2 Pokemon
3 BC2 360
4 BC2 PS3
5 FFXIII PS3
6 GoW3
7 FFXIII 360
8 MW2 360
9 NSMB Wii
10 MLB

Oh crap. Yeah that's something... still don't think an all-time record though, I guess you could look to Pearl for history + you also had the 3DS announcement, that could tamp down sales of the existing one.

MLB Show on PS3 has always been strong. FF13 -- when was it released? 'Cause premium PS3 games have had no legs past the first month.

Only if they have Player versus Player and Steel actually buys the game.

Do you know what engine it used? Can you jump and is there something funny about he way you can look in that game? I have some vague memories.

No idea what engine it uses. There is a jump button. I've seen nothing in the game that makes your character look funny or different, unless that's in multiplayer.

Capcom comments further on 'Street Fighter Fit' discussion

"We don't comment on rumour and speculation. But if we did make a Street Fighter Fit game, it would be the greatest fitness game of all time, simply because you'd get fit by copying Street Fighter special moves. Probably. Making the sound effects would be optional, but hard to avoid." - Capcom spokesperson

I confirmed it with a friend who went back to the Roosevelt Field Mall on Long Island:

F.Y.E. does indeed have a sign up saying (not verbatim):

Wii

Pre-Order Your System Today

in black or white.

Quantities will be limited. Reservations will be filled in order of date placed.
Pre-orders may satisfied in future shipments.

*black Wii coming 5/09/10.

The entire mall is abuzz. There are two GameStops in the same mall; they are being tight lipped. If they know anything they are not talking. Their general attitudes are "We knew they were coming, we just didn't have an exact date."

Beyond this: I have a funny feeling something else is going on. Stealth game release? Price Drop? Virtual Console announcement? Just heavy promotion for Mario Galaxy 2 and/or Mother's Day?

Dunno, but something's looming and (for once) the gaming community is remaining tight-lipped.

Why are there two Gamestops in the same mall?

Almost all my malls have two. Its that all companies became like GS (some have a different name on the store but it is still owned by GS). There used to be EB, Babbages, Planet X and other weird crap, it is now all GS. So many malls have two GS's.

Yay so we may still be the site that breaks some major news, nice Leo. We need a picture though.
