So... They're pulling ad money because they're selling too much product? Awesome.

Maybe its due to the fact you can count all Wii's great titles on one hand? I kid...I kid... XD

@DigitalHero: I thought you could count all the good games on one finger.... the middle one. Kidding.. I will always be bitter for being out in the cold for a Wii last year for my little sister and not getting one.

"Wii Would Like to Play DS"...
Better yet;
"Wii would like to play... but we can't. So sorry. Maybe next year."

@DigitalHero: You don't need to explain yourself. Even the most die hard Nintendo fan would be hard pushed to name more than 5 good games for the system.

There are tonnes of UK Wii commercials on TV atm. I still love the Army advert that shows them using a 360 controller to guide a UAV ;)

Hm...now that they mention it, I DO want a DS. I may even NEED one! I'd step over my own grandmother to get one!

Wow...is this what years of aggressive advertising have done to me? No restraint at all! Oh and don't worry about grandma. Stepping over her wasn't that difficult as she's been dead and buried for 7 years. She would have wanted me to have whatever console Nintendo is currently hyping. We're free, Grammy! *sniff* We're finally free!!

@Tonx: haha! Nice work.

About time. They should have stopped advertising back in October.

@Kuraudo: LOL.
Maybe 10, but 5? Surely you kid.

Zack & Wiki, Trauma Center: New Blood, Medal of Honor: Heroes 2, Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, Rayman Raving Rabbids.

And that is just third-party. Of course, had you asked that question back in August, I would only be able to list 5 good 1st paty games.

@Tonx: lol.

nice one.

@DonWii: You have a point. I was kind of going with the one hand thing DigitalHero started :p

@DonWii: list 5 good games, and they would have, more than likely, been 1st party.

@Tonx: FUKKEN LOL!

Hype! Amazing. Now everyone can foam over Mario Galaxy.. and, er.. Super Mario Galaxy? Hold on.. ah, Trauma Center Rehash! Oh, wait.. no. I know! No More Heroe- oh, not out yet.

Hmm..

@Elixir:
bleh, ur lack of love for Metroid Prime 3 and Zack & Wiki disappoints me.

I would recommend Umbrella Chronicles despite being excellent, but it's too damn short.

If my local UK stores are anything to judge by, the Nintendo DS isn't in stock either. Both GAME and Woolworths had signs today apologising for the product not being on the shelves due to "excessive demand".

nintendo should do MORE advertising, always. they were now just getting good at advertising their products, well the first party anyway.

Can someone do a breakdown, by system, of games on metacritic or gamerankings with a score of XX% or higher? I really want to put this pathetic joke to bed with the realization that, "Hey, all the systems have some good games and some total turds! Who knew?"

@nya-chama: I can include Zack and Wiki to Galaxy, I guess.

I want to play No More Heroes.

Okay, the article has a point but consider this... You're talking about the UK. We have FOOTBALL mums. Not Soccer moms.

Please, after all the Americans bemoaning the previous EU Wii release schedule, respect regional differences... especially when we invented the bloody game!

;)

Also, that should be pounds... not dollars.... I'm pretty sure that Nintendo UK still works in marketing pounds... :p

Makes sense, why waste munny advertising a product you can't supply properly. It'll just piss off the consumer in the end.

Its funny, people keep saying Wii has no games, and yet software sales WW are higher than the 360 and PS3

This Wii fad will be all over in a month. Just you wait!

@Avinash_Tyagi: true dat.

The wierdest thing is I had some amount of trouble trying to purchase the holiday bundle of the xbox 360. Freaking 3 places only had the arcade version.

The success of the Wii is one of the wierdest things in videogaming history. It just goes to show that the majority is often misinformed and wrong.

@thinred: Rigghhtt. You wish.
I bet you worked more hours to buy a PS3 too, just like Kaz wanted.
