Hell yes, now here it to hoping the player turnout for this game is better then Monster Hunter on PS2, so it will stay up -.- and the fact that they added Wii speak, that makes working together in that game 100% easier.

Hell. Fucking. Yes.

Sorry about the expletive but, there's no other way to say it.

My Wii will once again be taking over my gaming habits this summer. There is too much awesome coming out. My only regret is having to put off pre-ordering Monster Hunter because I'll be too engrossed with FFXIII.

Nintendo has come for all your money again.

Funny thing is every other day on gaming forums you will see people talk shit about Nintendo.

But not on a big news day

Metroid Other M sounds more interesting, though I'm not sure how I feel about the de-emphasis on exploration and item collecting. The narrative and action of the game is going to be really strong to justify the change. I just find it peculiar they didn't opt to go this direction with a story that took place after Fusion.

I know newer gamers are out of the loop on the story or just plain not accustomed to the way the older games are presented, but I'm really getting tired of Metroid being gridlocked in prequels. Fusion was the first step forward we've had in this series in the 15+ years since Super Metroid.

I think I have all the reasons I need to get a Wii now, though. This year's releases are just too strong to pass up.

Other M is in June eh?

Well, I might buy that idk. Galaxy 2 is getting a rent at best though. I loved and own the 1st game, but I'm not convinced 2 is worth buying. I'm still very angry over the Wii not having any truly amazing titles that either offer a phenominal experience, or just loads of replay value (this is my opinion based on what I've played so don't get testy )

Besides that, if I'm buying anything next month, it's God of War 3. Mario & FF13 are getting rented. Metroid Other M will also likely just be a rent, buuuuuut if it's good enough I may yet buy it because I freaking Metroid games.

EDIT: Oh GDI I forgot Mega Man 10 is also out next month geez.

Re: Nintendo Media Summit Errupts release dates

Malacite, we need to fix you. You just called Mario and Metroid rentals and God of War a buy.

Re: Nintendo Media Summit Errupts release dates

Kratos is awesome

Really, the lot of them are rentals, though Metroid usually has decent replay value. I can't really judge the game at this point as it's being done by Team Ninja, so I have no idea what to expect, other than the possibility of it being brutally hard.
