You're telling me that this game is on WiiWare? That has to be the most detailed and varied WiiWare game I've ever seen. Hopefully this first game has more than 1 level of gameplay seeing that it will need to be small in memory size. I can't wait to see more, it looks great so far.

Tournament of Legends - new video
I just can't see how this game is going to sell very good. I guess High Voltage doesn't think so either which explains why it will be released at 29.99. The game just looks like an afterthought with some good graphics in areas. Too bad.

Monster Hunter 3 - another video review
This is one of the more critical video reviews of the game. For me, I don't have the same issues as the person in this video but it's really irrelevant considering how great this game is.

The Last Story - first screens!
This game looks amazing too; I would give the edge in graphics to this game when compared to Xenoblade because of the character models having more detail. Looks like Monster Hunter 3 was only the beginning for this years Wii RPG fix.

Sin & Punishment: Star Successor - new gameplay video
We can't forget about this game now can we? This kind of game makes sense on the Wii since it was originally a shooter to begin with and is not being forced into being one like so many other franchises.

Xenoblade - new trailer
Besides some lower poly than you'd like characters, this game looks fantastic. With the amount that appears to be going during many portions of the game, I'd say it looks extremely good. I'm looking forward to hearing more about the gameplay and length of the game.

Monster Hunter 3 - video review
There is a lot more to this game than just grinding. I've been playing the game and it's more RPG-like than I thought and not way to similar to PSO like I had originally imagined. Great game.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 - new gameplay video
Some Mario Galaxy 2 goodness for your Monday. This game looks very very close to the first but I'm excited that they got rid of the overworld so we all could just focus on the levels themselves. Should be great.

Monster Hunter 3 - walkthrough
A nice explanation of how this game works. I like that you can actually finish the single player mode in less than 10 hours since that will encourage players to go online to get the most out of the game.

Monster Hunter 3 - Story video
This is a trailer that gives you a quick overview of how a story mission will take place. Get the mission in the town and then go explore and defeat the monsters to save your friend. If any of you have played Phantasy Star Online you'll know the formula very well.

Monster Hunter 3 - video review
Here we have the first video review of MH3, the UK IGN gave this game a 9.3 but an 8.8 is acceptable in my view with the learning curve being rather high. Look for a lot of hours of your time being put into this one.

Monster Hunter 3 - Quest video
Finally I can see what the villagers are saying in English, this looks really fun to me with a lot of customization and interaction. I can't wait to get my hands on it next week.

Netflix officially available for Wii, plus how to connect your Wii to the internet
REDMOND, Wash. & LOS GATOS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Nintendo of America Inc. and Netflix, Inc. [Nasdaq: NFLX] today announced that Netflix members who own Nintendo’s Wii™ home console can now enjoy thousands of movies and TV episodes streamed from Netflix via Wii. The two companies announced partnership plans in January and are making Netflix on the Wii console fully available as of today.
Streaming from Netflix via the Wii console is provided at no additional cost to Netflix members who have a plan starting at $8.99 a month, a Wii console and a broadband Internet connection.
The partnership between the two companies dramatically increases the reach of content streamed from Netflix. Wii remains the fastest-selling home console in history. Wii now reaches more consumers than any other device that currently supports streaming movies from Netflix, which had 12.3 million members at the end of 2009.
The launch of Netflix on Wii gives people the opportunity to gather with friends and family for a movie and game night. Everyone can join in the fun of a few heated rounds of Wii Sports Resort™ bowling before loading up a movie. When the movie’s over, everyone can try out some table tennis – all on the same Wii console. The addition of Netflix streaming to the Wii console’s already wide range of capabilities makes it even more appealing for group enjoyment.
“More than 28 million people already use the Wii console to play games, stay fit and have fun,” said Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime. “Now they have another reason to use the system every day – to enjoy great movies from Netflix and other video content.”
“Launching Netflix on the Wii home console marks a significant advance in the evolution of our service,” said Netflix co-founder and CEO Reed Hastings. “Wii has created immense consumer excitement and has meaningfully altered the consumer electronics landscape. Bringing Netflix to Wii catapults us toward our goal of being ubiquitous on the connected devices most popular with consumers.”
Netflix continues to expand the ways in which its members can watch movies and TV shows streamed directly to TVs via a range of Netflix-ready devices such as the Wii console. With unlimited memberships starting as low as $8.99 a month, members can instantly watch unlimited movies and TV episodes streamed from Netflix and can also receive unlimited DVDs delivered quickly to their homes. In parallel, consumers continue to demonstrate a preference for Wii consoles and the great value they offer in fun games and shared experiences at a suggested retail price of just $199.99. Wii is the only video game system currently available with motion controls, which are included with the system at no extra charge.
To enable their systems to stream TV shows and movies from Netflix, Wii owners will need a broadband Internet connection, a Netflix unlimited membership and a Netflix instant streaming disc for the Wii console. Netflix members and Wii console owners can now receive a free instant streaming disc by going to www.netflix.com/wii. The discs will be delivered for free by first-class mail, generally one business day after they are requested.
When the instant streaming disc is inserted into a member’s Wii system, an array of movie and TV choices will be displayed right on the TV screen. These titles will be conveniently organized into a variety of categories based on members’ personal preferences and will include popular genres, new arrivals and members’ individual instant Queues. Using the Wii Remote™ controller, members will be able to choose a movie or TV episode to watch from their instant Queues or pick one directly from any of the lists. They will also have the ability to read synopses, rate movies, and will have the option of fast-forwarding and rewinding their selection.
The Netflix functionality adds another dimension to the Wii console’s diverse online features. With broadband Internet access, the Wii console gains access to a variety of entertainment, information and communication channels that add value to the system and make it a device the entire family can enjoy. For instance, Wii owners of all types can find great games from among hundreds of downloadable new and classic titles with Wii Points™ from the Wii Shop Channel. Or surf the Internet on the big screen via the Internet Channel, watch videos about new and upcoming games on the Nintendo Channel, and play specially designed games online with friends near and far.
Remember that Wii features parental controls that let adults manage the content their children can access. For more information about this and other Wii features, visit Wii.com.
PR Email
I added a video tutorial on how to connect your Wii to the internet for those who still don't have it (I know a few actually).
I'm still waiting for my Netflix disc, hopefully they will send it to me in the next few days.

Monster Hunter 3 - first commercial
Great job Capcom I must say, since they are showing ads for this game a good 2 weeks or so before release it will give people a little time to actually know this game exists. I'll be picking it up for sure.

Sengoku Basara 3 - new gameplay video
This game looks kinda exciting. The Dynasty Warrior type games have always done pretty good here in the states but I can't see this game selling more than 50k for the Wii when it's released.

Xenoblade - new trailer
I'm willing to forgive some of the details on the characters (or lack there of) since this game still looks very epic and has a beautiful world to explore. I'm really looking forward to a long quest with this one.

Ode to the Bonus stage
What is your favorite bonus stage in a game? I would have to say that the "pick a card" bonus level from Super Mario Bros. 3 and New Super Mario Bros. Wii would have to be my favorite bonus games. There are many good ones through time but that one is still my favorite.
