Nintendo Wii Fanboy

OH MY GOD...am I 1st?

I was going to pick up Cooking Mama and (after the good reviews) Godfather: Blackhand.

I will likely rent Kororinpa to see we like it...but I am still playing through all the games I got for the holidays (that darn LoZ:TP is eating up ALL of my playtime).

Cant say I will be getting any of these new titles. Im holding off for Super Paper Mario.

I'll be taking a good look at probably purchasing Godfather. I'd bite at TMNT if it was multi-player (after getting my wife sucked into playing Marvel Alliance). WTF isn't it?

Other than that, Cooking Mama looks fun in that typical Nintendo quirkiness kind of way...

My 15 year old sister is buying Cooking Mama. I'll be grabbing a VC game or two (when are they going to be announced for today?), but I'm holding off on a big purchase until April 9 - Super Paper Mario FTW!

Cooking Mama: Cook Off - Probably yes
The Godfather: Blackhand Edition - Probably no
Kororinpa: Marble Mania - Don't know what this is, so maybe
Wing Island - Maybe
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - No, but I am getting it on 360

This is a kick ass list!!! Although I just spent my money on Resident Evil 4 (yes I know it took me awhile to get a copy but I didn't have a gamecube and I just got a Wii). I'm gonna get Scareface if it has a free roaming city. I doubt I will pick up Cooking Mama cause it just sounds like another mini-game collection. I might pick up TMNT if it has some good reviews.

I kinda want Kororinpa, but I think I'll rent it and save my money for Super Paper Mario.

Kororinpa is great and I highly recommend it. It is quite easy to whizz through the levels at first but once it gets harder it's a whole lots of fun and very frustrating in a good way. It might be something that you could rent and complete in a weekend rather than buy though. The best thing about it is the marble itself and the way it moves and responds.

I too might pick up Godfather after reading a review of it.

I'm interested in TMNT, I need to look into it more.

I'm not a big buyer, so I'll probably rent some of them. I'm interested in Cooking Mama (think my wife would like it), Godfather (good reviews), Blazing Angels, and Kororinpa (another wife game).

I'm buying Super Paper Mario... so no money for these yet... but I'll definately rent at least a few of them.

I'm with #12 on renting some of these games. I usually only buy 1 or 2 games per year.

Does it hurt the game industry when people rent games instead of buying them?

Been waiting for Godfather: Blackhand Edition...soon my wait will be over. I'm guessing that I will be getting very little sleep for the next while (as I can only really play games after my wife and daughter are asleep). Anyone know if it'll live up to my hopes, or will it just be another bad GTA clone with motion controls tacked on? I'll be buying it regardless, but I'd rather go into the purchase with my eyes wide open...

@ 13 - The industry hates renting because instead of giving them money for the game, your are giving someone else money (such as Gamefly). Even if Gamefly gives the game studio royalty for every rental, it is small compared to what they would make if you actually bought the game.

For this same reason they hate eBay (and Gamestop). When you buy a used game, the game studio doesn't make any money because you are giving your money to someone else.

I'll be getting Godfather for the Wii, but not TMNT, I'll be getting that on GameBoy Advance, you know that will be the Shit.

Not getting any, a demo channel could perhaps had convinced me!

i'm thinking about godfather: blackhand. i haven't finished red steel yet, so i'm afraid to buy another game that i wont finish.

other than that the mario games are most def in my purchasing future.

My wife and oldest daughter are starting to get into the Wii so they will be expecting to play Cooking Mama this week :)

all these games are not worth the money. I was looking forward to cooking mama and i even hyped it up to the coworkers at my work... and the reviews are a huge disappointment... ill hold out for paper mario. i hope that it holds up to the hype!
