Can you say Pre-Rendered? I see one pic there that looks like it might be actual gameplay.

They will have a few good games, but not worth justifying $600 of my money for. Even with the Blu-Ray DVD (which isn't needed yet IMO), my money is going to 360 and Wii.

Agreed, 100%

The Mario one looks a little odd, just like Mario Sunshine (which I hated)...but thankfully it's more like Mario 64, so I'll probably pick it up.

How does it look like Sunshine? There's no water squirter thingy in this one, looks like oldschool Mario 64 style with better graphics.

Anybody have a link for the videos?

Mario 64 is one of the best games ever made, IMO. It NEVER got boring for me.

Mario 64 was teh r0xxors, along with Ocarina of Time.

Aah, the 64 Glory Days...

The footage of Mario Galaxy made me cry. I'm so getting it.

Umm...walking upside down on floating platforms, weird enemies who you have to throw things at to defeat them...

Throwing things has always been a part of Mario.

Fireballs maybe...other than that all you did was stomp on the baddies. (until the Super Mario Bros. on SNES).

It just seems very out there, jumping through Space from planet to planet, grabbing hold of comets to travel? It's very unique for a Mario game.

You were able to throw turtle shells too! Don't forget the turtle shells!

Yeah, it is unique for a Mario game, as it should be, that's what Nintendo is all about.

It bugs me more when they try to milk out the franchise. I mean, c'mon, Mario freakin dancing? 🤨

At least this seems original...

I'm a glutton for info....any news on Dead Rising, Gears of War, and Prey?

There was a new Gears of War trailer from what I heard, it's on Xbox Live, but downloads are going really slow.

Hey Backfire any new trailers for Dead Rising?

I don't care how...I'm getting XBL somehow someway....I'm just missing lots of stuff. This is really nail bitting suspense for me.

There's a bunch of trailers for Dead Rising on gamespot.com

Im so pumped for the Wii right now. 😄

I seen those...just hoping there was something new at the moment.

Holy shit...

Twilight Princess, Mario Galaxy, Red Steel, and this: "-Project H.A.M.M.E.R. is an action adventure game in which the player will use both the Nunchuk Controller and the Wii Remote to control a cyborg armed with an immense hammer."

I'm getting more excited for Wii by the minute. droolio
