This is great, in my opinion people want gaming systems that are inovative and cheaper then the 'lets make graphics look so realistic it scares you' way XBOX  360 and PS3 are going.

Nintendo is back.  They're going to when this game console war I strongly believe it now.

They are fun Im told by a certain someone .

  I agree with you SD, The PS3 is old generation tech like the XBox 360. The Nintendo is new generation with more interactivity and feedback. The graphics are not as good as the PS3 and XBox, but with teh interaction and COST, they will outsell PS3 and XBox Im sure. <I still love my xbox>

mm... I still like Pokemon the best.

Pokemon? That furball's still alive?  

  Heck, I guess with the popularity of the Wii, he'll come back with vengence soon enough. Can't wait to see Mario and Donkey Kong swoop in as well.

Yeah right now the games I'm going to get is the Red Steel, Zelda and Swing Golf.  Believe it or not I've never played Zelda before and I grew up on SNES.  Any tennis game will rule on the system. Mario Tennis should be good.
