READ THIS, you slack-jawed idiots, or THE NEW CONSOLE WARS, z0MG!

Only the original Sonic?

That list is lacking! Lacking, I say!

Frankly Sega should not bother with putting up the old sonic games on VC. You can just spend around 15 dollars on sonic mega collection for gamecube and get all of the old school sonic games at once. They should be putting in a variety of classics like you know... Streets of Rage??

They'll probably update the list.

Keep in mind it's a "Release list", meaning just the games that come out when the Wii does. I'm praying to fucking god that they put Streets of Rage 1-3 on there.

They had fucking better.

EDIT: Final release date and price on Wii. Sick!

Mirai, it is official. IGN:

Wii goes on sale November 19. "The worldwide debut of the Wii system happens right here in the Americas -- the same place where we debuted Nintendo DS. On November 19, it will be available at more than 25,000 points of distribution across the Americas. And with a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $249.99. One price. One configuration. One color." Which is, for the record, white.

Fucking bastards. They said it was going to be less than 250... but only by one cent. Augh! Thanksgiving is still to far away.

Also, more importantly:

"If you were to play Zelda all day to day for six hours, you'd only be scratching the surface..."

Edit to post below: I know I said before that I didn't believe in any sort of omnipotent deity able of messing around with our lives.

*Bows down to TWG*

I feel converted, my master.

Hey, Neko, I think this might be of relevant interest to you.

Matsuno (FFT, Vagrant Story, and FFXII) developing for Wii.

Not really related to the Wii, but since all the kids are doing it...

Off-Topic: At least we still have MG-What the fuck? Young Snake?

Kutaragi references the impending launches of both the PS3 and Wii as marking the start of the next generation of gaming and welcomes us to try the large lineup of games that are playable on the TGS show floor as of right now.

So xbox 360 is a generation behind now, Mr. Kutaragi? I wonder why both Sony and Microsoft take digs at the other while buddying up to the big N?

Also, am I the only one who gets an Mac/iPod vibe off the way Wii and the Wiimote look?

[ZAKtheGeek]

No, most people seem to think that.

Also DS Lite.

[Denivire]

Um, ya.... the 360 I would consider part of that "next generation" with the Wii and PS3.
So far, the only intersting games I found on the PS3 was Assasin's Creed, and the Price on the Wii is far from bad. Think of it, the 360 is over 360 bucks, and the PS3 I read was gonna be around 600 bucks O.o. Compaired to that, 249.99 is a very reasonable price for a console. Sure lost some DVD functions, but it's worth it! WORTH IT!!!

Thats it Im bringing in some much needed Xbox 360 representation to this thread!

Firts off!

1. Ms announces 1080p upgrade through a patch this fall. Can they even do that through a patch? Either way...Sony can suck it!

2. JRPGS!!! Mystwalker and Namco have revealed some very promising RPG titles!

From the makers of Tales of Symphonia we have....
Trusty Bell!

This game is gorgeous! Very neat cel-shading effects. Battle looks promising as well.

Here we have two entrys from Mystwalker, the studio that Final Fantasy's creator started:

Lost Odyssey
Great graphics, very nice seamless battle transition... but that combat is sooo 20 years ago...needs some improving.

and...

Blue Dragon trailer #1

Blue Dragon trailer #2

Im getting a huge Chrono Trigger vibe from this one. Looks great and battle seems like a lot of fun. These graphics from what Ive heard are all real time. Out of both trailers you should really check out the second one.

Sega seems to be making Armored Core 4 for 360 and PS3. Seems like Chromehounds opened up a few things for em.

On XBLA, Super Contra and Contra, Metal Slug all with online Co-op!

Im not gonna bother mentioning the big guns like Halo 3 or Gears of War now because I couldnt care less about them right now.

Ill be back some other day with more news!

Edit!: Dear god how could I forget Bioshock!!!
This game is downright creepy!
