Really? Well, I just saw the press release on GoNintendo a little bit ago, so I suppose...

Not gonna get it, but I definitely appreciated the TV advertisement.

Much better than the MKW commercial.

Heck, I was just glad to see something besides "Wii Would Like to Play". Seriously, advertising makes a big difference. The WWLtP ads made me feel nervous about games I knew I'd get (Super Mario Galaxy). This ad made me almost interested in a game I'm still not going to buy. I mean this all in a totally good way.

This is one reason why Sega Saturn failed.

Wii Would Like to Play was one of the coolest things ever.

Has anybody played the game yet? Is it better than the GC version?? Is Toad a captain yet?

Toad is what Toad always is: Recolorable Team Filler.

Blast! I don't get why friggin' Bowser Jr gets to be a captain before Toad.. Toad was in the series before Jr was!!

Jr anger aside, is this game better than the GC version?

Is Super Mario Galaxy better than Super Mario Sunshine?
Is Super Smash Bros. Brawl better than Super Smash Bros. Melee?
Is Animal Crossing City Folk better than Animal Crossing?
Is Metroid Prime 3 better than Metroid Prime?
Is Mario Kart Wii better than Mario Kart Double Dash?

You know I could go on with this.

Yes.
Yes.
Unknown.
Not really.
Not really, especially for Battling.

-In some ways.
-For the most part.
-Hopefully.
-Unfortunately, no.
-**** no.

-Galaxy: a free sandwich. Sunshine: thanks for that sandwich that I am taking from you.
-Brawl: a free burger. Melee: a free veggie burger.
-Probably but big deal
-Don't know
-Maybe but big deal

-Ooh, a cookie!
-Sombrero time!
-Meep.
-All my base are belong to me.
-Rawr!

What I'm saying with this is that other Wii games that are better/worse than their GC counterparts don't necessarily have anything to do with the quality of different games...

Well, whatever you're saying, I'm not getting it.
