The May 1st release date is just a rumor; on IGN it says it's being released in the US on April 28th. As far as I know, Nintendo hasn't announced a concrete US release date. Just that's it's supposed to come out the first quarter of the year.
Like many have said, Contra 3 is definitely the best, at least the best that I've played. It's also an extremely hard game for someone who isn't into Contra full time, so if you don't like constantly dying, maybe you should avoid it.
Seems pretty cool, but the "little guy in a big world" theme has been done to death. I did like the art style of the game, and the environments, while a little dark and sorta bland, were nice. I want to see more of the game before making a final decision, but I like what I've seen so far.
So far, there's no confirmed US date, but it launches on April 10th in Japn, April 11th in Europe, and April 24th in Australia. A good guess for a US release date would be sometime early to mid April or early May. Again, the only thing Nintendo has said so far is that it's going to be released 1st Quarter, 2008, so everyone will be playing it in a month or two.
Nah...MMOs aren't my thing, and I quit playing Pokemon after the Yellow version. I would buy a full on 3D RPG Pokemon if it ever came out on the Wii, though. I never liked the battle simulator games on the home consoles, and a complete Pokemon RPG on the Wii would actually get me to come back to the series.
They could even have some type of online adventure mode where you and a few friends group up and go from town to town capturing pokemon and battling other trainers. I guess that's MMOish, but if that was the core game, I wouldn't pay monthly for it. I prefere a meaty single player campaign in my games.
