Well if that is the case I have good news for you. Drive to your favorite retailer, and ask for it by name. It can be had today! You can be playing it by this evening!

I was looking forward to getting Time Crisis 4 for the PS3, but my PS3 is played on 119" projection screen, and the PS3 is physically about 20 feet from the screen, so I think it's logistically impossible for me to set up the game due to the size of the sensor bar and the length of the cable connecting to the PS3.

Looking forward to (in the next few weeks)

- Game Party
- Lego Star Wars
- Mario and Sonic at the Olympics
- Medal of Honor (but I'll only buy if the online multiplayer works. EA has let down so far...)
- Super Mario Galaxy

There's no real structure to game release dates. Release dates given are generally ship dates and are in store a day or two afterwards. Certain "event" titles are shipped to be in store on the release date though.

Wii Available on Amazon Wednesday, 10 am PST

If you still haven't gotten around to getting a Wii, Amazon's going to have it in stock tomorrow, October 31, at 10AM PST (1PM EST). We've been hearing that retailers have Wiis in stock in certain places lately, but we've never actually seen one in stock no matter where we go—possibly because we leave the house only once a week. If you're like us, this Amazon deal is perfect. [Amazon - Thanks Susie!]
Good luck!

Chris

I listened to 1upyours today and Shane had the pleasure of previewing Endless Ocean. Before I go on, I'll remind people that it got a 35 out of 40 in famitsu. Needless to say he trashed the hell out of it. His final comment was literally something about, unless you are a 10 year old little girl than no one else should pay any attention to it.

What a douche. It basically sounded like he spent 10 minutes with it and proceeded to judge it from there. Oh well, his Sony fanboyism-graphic whore ass won't dissuade me. I'm still looking forward to it.

Question? Does this have anything to do with the website, 1up.com? If so, I would never venture to that site, or to anything related to that site, as they are as anti-Nintendo as anyone can get. They trash everything about Nintendo. In fact, if Nintendo were to come out with a system that did everything that the other systems did, cooked your breakfast, lunch, and dinner, did your laundry, dishes, cleaned your house, did your grocery shopping, and provided sexual pleasure, they would still find a way to bash it, because it's from Nintendo. I'm just saying.....

Really? I haven't seen any anti-Nintendo stuff from 1up at all, although I don't listen to podcasts or anything like that.

It sounds like a great game to play with the kids. I'm definitely getting it. Famitsu rarely gives a 35 to total crap. Shane is hardly the authority on any game besides Metal Gear Solid.

Yes, 1up.com. Other than Shane I think they keep it fairly balanced.

Thanks for providing us with that release list. There are only one or two games I'll be buying before the new year, but there's a couple on that list I'd like to rent.

My Wii tale:

Finally managed to score a Wii online, and it was waiting for me on my doorstep when I got home from work. Also picked up Wii Play, a Classic Controller, and a 2,000 point VC Card. Strangely enough, of everything I ordered from ToysRUs.com, the only thing that got cancelled was an extra nunchuk controller. Go figure.

I spent most of the evening just exploring/configuring the Wii. I also played through all of the Wii Play games... I enjoyed most of them. I haven't played Wii Sports yet, though (although I have on other people's systems).

I'm so far behind in video game time that the Wii should keep me occupied for some time. The last system I purchased (with the exception of the 1st Generation GBA) was a SNES. I basically totally missed out on the N64 and GC. So, the VC is a treasure trove for me.

I purchased Paper Mario, and logged some time on it this evening. I'm enjoying it quite a bit so far.

My only headache is that I live way out in the sticks, and have Wildblue Satellite Internet, which hasn't been a perfect match for the Wii so far. The Wii Opera browser does fine, but getting into/navigating the VC Store/WiiWare Store is kind of draggy... as are most of the other web apps (Everyone Votes, etc.)

I guess that's just the trade off I make for living in rural America.

Overall though, I've enjoyed the system thus far. I'm thinking I may hit a used game store this week and grab some GC controllers, and maybe a GC game or two.
