what the??? you give it a "POOR"???? no more in you guys. How can you say that it's a flaw not having minigames? it's TENNIS, it doens't need them. if it needed them it would be because it was a bad game which is not. getting fed up with some reviews in this site.

Wow no word on Super Smash Bros. Brawl for Europe. The only thing I know is that it could come out on Q2 for U.S. It would suck if it was delayed.

brazillian people access GameSpot too!! I like Nintendo, but I prefer games that have a deep story, action, mystery, like MSG, Gears Of War, RE, Halo, FF and others, and looks like Nintendo's more worry at doing games just for fun, like sports, music-games and minigames... The games list that sanderuli wrote is good, but I think they're too many few for a year

I was expecting a better list of games for the wii. Warioware looks pretty cool. Mario party 8 will prob be just like the other 7 versions. I am waiting for the new mario game.

Still no date for FF3, Phoenix Wright 2 or Elite Beat Agents?. I hope Nintendo aren't going to abandon EU 'gamers' completely in their quest to appeal to the masses. It's bad enough I just spent £200 on a Wii and there's only 2 games announced so far worth getting! (Zelda & Wario). I guess if your in the EU then Play-Asia is the way to go.

Color me unimpressed with the Wii lineup. There's not a single high-profile third-party game that really stands out and to be honest, the Xbox 360 lineup blows it out of the water. Unless Nintendo get its act together, the Wii will be a repeat performance of the Gamecube.

It's on the PC where US gamers get a dull lineup compared to them. Sega in particular has done that recently. Crazy Taxi 3, Billy Hatcher, Sonic Adventure DX, Sonic Mega Collection Plus... Not to mention a different publisher released Guilty Gear X2 #Reload there. Although it wasn't sold here or Europe, Mega Man X8 for PC has both English mode and controller rumble which is rarely offered on that platform. It's in fact one of the greatest conversions from a console ever made. I feel sorry for DS owners over in those countries though. Why would Actionloop or whatever they call it in that region take so long to translate? I can understand the amount of text for Children of Mana or Pokemon Ranger being an issue, but a puzzle game? Wow, and to think Polarium Advance which was from the same developer and genre came out there nearly 6 months before US shelves.
