The following debut trailer has hit the internet today and it is a brand new game coming to WiiWare entitled Fluidity. I am very happy at this new title as WiiWare and the VC was starting to look like it was going the way of the dodo…. Enjoy.

Game On.

I concur with the following list wholeheartedly…

Best weapon: Ice beam
Most dramatic moment: The baby Metroid’s sacrifice
Best enemy: Metroid
Best secret: Samus is a woman
Best armor: Varia Suit from Super Metroid
Best Ridley: Meta Ridley
Best boss: The Metroid Prime
Best ability: Spider ball
Best self-destruct escape: Finale of Super Metroid
Best ship: Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
Best tune: Main theme from Metroid
Best ending: Metroid: Zero Mission

Here are the later hardware numbers from over seas…. It appears as though Sony is having another stellar week hub? Nintendo is still hanging in there though. I will be interested to see holiday time numbers this year. Here is the list:

Beautiful footage I may add…. Is anyone else extremely excited about the revival of the DKC franchise? Enjoy.

You’ve waited for it, I’ve waited for it and now the time is finally here. Metroid Other M has arrived and so has Samus in the newest blockbuster for the Nintendo Wii console. Has the title lived up to the hype or has Nintendo and Team Ninjas love child fall flat? Read on to find out!
