I'm disappointed by the small number of SNES games (and no Secret of Mana), but a strong list nonetheless.

Sonic? :shock:

Oh, like we weren't gonna buy a Wii anyway, but that just made me happy in the no-no place.

All I need now is Mace, and I'm completely there.

Early word is that Rayman and Red Steel are system sellers.

And compared to the PS3 launch, 6 unique hits is a mountain of gaming goodness.

Compared to the PS3 launch a great big poke in the eye would be a better gaming experience.

... Why do I see myself spending cash to by games that I *still* own?

I haven't gotten rid of an old console yet. This may change that, actually.

Yeah -- that list looks like third-party only. I didn't see Excite Truck or Zelda on there.

Ooooh, Excite Truck.

Edit: shit, wrote ONLINE instead of ONLY. Stupid muscle memory in my fingers., anticipating the wrong word.

Or Wii Sports or are you neglecting that since it's bundled with?

Yeah -- i was thinking of actual title releases rather than the console itself, but you're right.
