-it's been a long time since I posted anything
-2009 was a good year for Wii, but 2010 has me really excited
-I still haven't purchased Dead Space, Muramasa, or King's Story: EPIC FAIL!!!
-I will get Tatsunoko and NMH2 very soon though
-I haven't been this excited about 2 games in a long time
-Rubik's Galaxy Rush for WiiWare is an incredible puzzle game especially at $6
-I've been impressed by WiiWare lately, and can't wait for Max and the Magic Marker
-I still haven't beaten the Conduit; I rarely played it honestly
-I was briefly addicted to Grand Slam Tennis
-I feel like developers have finally gotten what works on Wii; not mini games, but arcade style games
-I canNOT wait for NBA Jam Wii...EA don't disappoint
-it's about time we get a decent basketball game
-I purchased Final Fight 3 on VC and was disappointed, but what did I expect ..
-I also purchased SF Alpha 2 and was impressed despite the loading
-does anyone still purchase strategy guides since we can find everything online
-I actually purchased the Twilight Princess Hardcover strategy guide b/c I thought it was cool
I don't have anything else game related to say...

WOW!!!!! I'm Excited

I know the Conduit isn't out yet, but I've been following all the coverage the game has been getting since IGN spilled the beans. In certain respects, the game looks amazing, but the environments have always looked a little too geometric and bland for my taste. Either way, I'll support the game because its something new, and it looks promising. I will say though that IGN recently revealed High Voltage's 2 new Wii titles, Gladiator A.D & The Grinder, and they look amazing.




Okay, so this compounded by Famitsu's new No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle scans, which I saw via GoNintendo, leaves me having a Nintedorgasm!!! Really at this point, if The Big N does anything even remotely noteworthy at E3, I'll fall to my knees, bow, and pay homage.

I really get the feeling that this and next year are the years when 3rd parties get their acts together and deliver great content. I'm already excited for Grad Slam Tennis, and I hope Wii Motion Plus delivers on Nintendo's original promise of immersion. Long story short, I feel really good. There are literally too many good games to get, and we're only 1/2 way into the year.

Oh, I forgot Tatsunoko is being localized.....GREAT TIMES Nintendo fans...GREAT TIMES!!
