Bully and Super Mario Galaxy 1 are the only two games I own that I bothered to get 100% completion. I highly recommend this game.

For me it comes down to the game with the most memorable moments.

Twilight princess had some good ones, but Super Mario Galaxy had more.

I'll never forget working my way to the top of the frozen mountain trying to collect all of the purple coins only to have to make a long jump from the top and feel my stomach get all queasy as Mario falls down onto a little stalagmite to get the last two coins.

Or the metal planet that opens up to be a giant planet of water with a star in the middle.

Or the 47 lives I wasted trying to get 100 purple coins on the Luigi toytime level.

Or beating Bowser for the first time.

Or the first time you get an email letting you know that Luigi is lost, again.

Super Mario Galaxy is just too full of levels that I will never forget. Hands down, it's the best game on Wii to date.

I finished the 30 day challenge on EA Sports Active and noticed an improvement. I did the 30 day challenge again on hard and found that not only was I working up a sweat on a regular basis, but I was losing weight and increasing in muscle mass.

As long as you stick with the program, EA Sports Active will whip you into shape.

I found that Wii Fit is fun, but really it is more of a supplement to a fitness regime. I use it to keep track of my weight and to stretch out before runs on the weekend. Wii Fit by itself is not going to help you lose weight and get in shape (but it will inspire you to do the other things)

My money says that Mario Galaxy 2 will come out in March - the same weekend as God of War 3. Nintendo likes to bring out their big titles against the competition's big titles. That way we can see how much better games like Mario Kart sold over GTA4.

Metroid: Other M will be a surprise release during E3. Iwata will be on stage at E3 to tell us how awesome the game is and then surprise! You can buy it right now.

Nintendo started working on a Zelda game for the Wii years ago; likely back before the Wii was even released. Remember that Twilight Princess was a last minute port with tacked on motion controls. This game has been in development for years and is probably done already and just getting a little extra polish and bug testing now. That said, if any of these three games is postponed, it'll be Zelda. A Zeldagame has to be perfect, after all. But I'll bet that it is out in either October or November of 2010, in time for the Christmas rush.

I think it was last year that Japan got a replica Super Famicom controller to plug into the wii-mote. Hopefully we get something similar here. I would love to have a replica SNES controller instead of using the classic controller.

I just finished Okami. The final boss battle is a 30 minute epic fight. Every time I thought I had him beat he would shed his skin and emerge with a new (albeit smaller) body. Of course, I could do it a lot faster now. The first time around you end up wasting a lot of time just trying to figure out what works and what doesn't against this thing.

There will never be price cuts for VC or WiiWare titles. However, Nintendo may and likely will from time to time put the points cards on sale, which is the same as a price cut.

I was just checking out sales figures on vgchartz.com and I noticed something exciting, last week Mario Kart Wii overtook Halo 3 in sales after 20 weeks. And with the way Mario Kart is charting, it will overtake Halo 3 in total sales in another three weeks. Mario Kart Wii hasn't even seen a Christmas yet. Mario Kart Wii is on pace to be the top selling game for this generation. Unless anyone can think of any other games (other than Wii Sports) that is selling better...

My first issue of Nintendo Power is dated August, 1989, back when the magazine was new and completely necessary for beating NES games.

I stopped subscribing in 93 when they dropped NES games for SNES.

I didn't subscribe again until 2007, when I bought my Wii.

All I can say is the magazine isn't nearly as great as it used to be. I have all of my old issues because they are full of maps and tips and strategies to beat the old games. All they bother to put in the magazines now is reviews of upcoming games. The old magazines used to explain technical stuff too. like the difference between the different types of chips used in the game carts.

When my current subscription expires, I will not renew. I can use the Internet for game reviews. Sure I can read a walkthru on the Internet too, but it was nice to have the magazine right there beside you while you are playing, so you can check the maps and stuff. (The only way I was able to beat Zelda 2 was by finding the maps from my old issues). I have also found that a subscription only encourages me to buy way too many games.

I recommend that you save you money and not bother with Nintendo Power any more.

I haven't tried this site in a while, but it used to work on the Wii's Internet browser.
