Who cares about most of those no name websites that constantly overrate crappy games.

You must be mistaken. Most of these "websites" are actually magazines and are not "no name." They are well-known.

Since a major gaming site gave this game 6.5, I am waiting to see what scores GameSpot and Gametrailers will give it. This may be a game that will have mixed reviews similar to Shadow the Hedgehog that received many negative reviews but some positive ones (Gametrailers for example which surprised me, which also gave Mario Party 8 a high score as well).

If Sonic Chronicles, Sonic Unleashed, and Sonic & the Black Knight do not get decent scores, Super Smash Bros. Brawl may well be the only decent game that Sonic appears in for this generation.

If you take issue with the Wii commercials, you might as well take issue with commercials for video games in general. I have seen laughable commercials from Nintendo's competitors.

We may think the commercials are bad, but they are intentionally bad so to attract the viewer's attention. As advertising games for "hardcore" gamers, there is really little need as word-of-mouth and the Internet is what is needed. How many of us learned and became interested in Super Smash Bros. Brawl just because of TV ads?

It's about the price and casual crap games everywhere on that system. And that gimmicky controller.KillerGabe6987

Even if the Xbox 360 can generate more sales due to its $199 Arcade version, it will not supersede the Wii because price point is not the sole reason why the latter is the current-generation console sales leader. Other reasons for the sales are due to word-of-mouth, media coverage, a broad demographic, etc.

And one thing: what is wrong with gimmicks? Not all of them are bad, in fact, some are what they claim. If the Wii Remote is a gimmick then what can be said about the Sixaxis or Blu-Ray on the PS3?

It would be a bad idea if a future Zelda game removes the medieval theme and replaced it with a cyber/steam punk theme found in recent Final Fantay games. It would not be original, and long-time fans will oppose the change.

To respond to a user who did not like the barreness of the outside world in Twilight Princess, remember that Hyrule is a predominent rural kingdom in a medieval-like world, so of course where will be vastness of open space with little or no people. It does not take place in a modern or futuristic world where many people live in cities and open space is hard to find except parks.

Remember when Spore was getting to release and everyone thought that the Catholic Church would protest it due to evolution implications...

mattbbpl

The Catholic Church officially supports the theory of evolution.

Those Christians who oppose it are fundamentalists who take the Bible literally in a way that ignores the literary and symbolic language of its many books. They are guilty in misunderstanding the creation account in Genesis 1 as they are guilty in misunderstanding the book of Revelation (it was written by the apostle John to the churches that were being persecuted by the Romans giving them spiritual hope, not modern Christians who believed it to be a prophesy of the "end times," such as the "Anti-Christ," the "rapture," etc.).

I heard that the T company also makes Samurai Pizza Cats. If they are in this game, its a must buy. Is the Wii region locked?Senor_Kami

The Wii is region-locked. The only way to play this fighter legally is purchase a Japanese Wii.

Recently, a poorly-reviewed boxing game called FaceBreaker received the "Xtreme Baditude" emblem.

I need to know what that emblem means and how this demerit will benefit readers and potential buyers of FaceBreaker.
