I'm sure it is a big YMMV, but my local Target has Nights for the Wii clearance priced at $12.48.

It's also $5 at many K-Marts, but as a clearance item it's also YMMV.

Yup, i'm playing it on a PC as well. I don't see why that would be a driving force to getting a Wii since it's available on PC.

I just got my new PC and the first thing I installed was episode 1 and 2 of Strong Bad. Episode 2 is even better. Definitely recommended on the Wii or PC.

Nice job Nintendo!

Damn, that's amazing! I was so distracted by the awesome footage, I didn't notice the experience until about 1/2-2/3 the way through it!

I can't watch the footage at work (they block YouTube ), but I've seen video of Wario Land: Shake It! elsewhere and it looks amazing. I'm picking it up tonight along with de Blob. Samba de Amigo is out tomorrow as well - seems like a great week for Wii games!

The fact that Nintendo is not hyping Wario Land that much is very strange (and disappointing).

Make sure you watch that footage as soon as you get home, then.

But I'll have the game itself in my hands by the time I get home. Why not just play the game at that point?

Okay, I watched this last night and now I understand. That was pretty awesome.

And the game itself is a lot of fun.

Sorry if this has been answered already but I bought Rock Band last night and have a few questions:

1. Is the GHIII guitar compatible with Rock Band?

2. Will Guitar Hero/World Tour be compatible with the Rock Band peripherals?

This is not only going to get expensive but I'm not gonna have any room for all that crap if I want to play those games.

One of my students sent me the link. Great concept!

Too bad I have a back log of games so huge right now, it'll have to wait.

Anyone else picked up De Blob? I played through the first level. Fun concept, good gameplay. If you're looking like 3-D platformers, definitely check this out.

Nothing official has been announced, but someone (Miyamoto?) has mentioned that it is in work.
