Just saw a story on Google News that IBM has shipped the main microprocessors for the Wii, all of them, and that indicates the Wii will be here on schedule. Looks like Nintendo will get those 6 million Wiis out to anyone who wants one (I can't recall Nintendo ever screwing up a launch anyway).
http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3153497 http://www.gamespot.com/news/show_bl...stnews;title;0 Couple that with Sony's notice that it will only ship half of its expected consoles (pushing prices probably well over what XBOXes were at for people who are unlucky enough to not find a store who will well them one)...ouch. How ya doing, buddy?

I think when people (the media, people who are objective) say that Nintendo's consoles are "kiddy" have the right idea, but try too hard to use a term that is less than flattering.
I think a more apt term would be...I dunno, "cartoony"? Outside of maybe the Pokemon, I think 25-35 year-olds would get more pleasure from playing any of the Mario games than a kid would. I think people need to stop believing that less maturity is a sign of less quality, both the people who write about Nintendo and the Nintendo fans who get so offended. "Kiddy" isn't really a bad term...life is more fun when you're a kid, I mean, what do you say to your friends when you're a kid? "Do you want to come over and play?" If video games is more about playing and less about graphics and home theater, then I think I'd rather things be kiddy. There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well, the N64 Zeldas are arguably better than many of the games of the next generation of game, so I don't find it so awful that Twilight Princess is the very first game I want to get when I buy my Wii.
Is there a list somewhere yet that says all the games that will be available the day the Wii launches? Is that even known? This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
