Damn. There must be daily parties at the Nintendo offices these days. Nintendo has been doing so well with the DS and the Wii is shaping up to follow in the DS's footsteps. Now I'm just wondering how well NSMB did in the US...
Good point Perkunas, buy and resell one on ebay, then you could put the money towards buying a second hand PS3 and a new Wii a month later.
I should be getting my dirty mits on the new mario DS title on the 20th. Nevertheless, I am quite dissappointed that nintendo hasn't made a 3d version of mario with all the "classic" abilities and yoshi, the way it was intended to be. A 3d mario game with the Tanuki suit, the fireballs, the cape and proper yoshi implimentation (unlike the basic and limited yoshi stuff found in Sunshine) has been my dream ever since mario 64 (when I played mario 64 I was disapointed not to find the big/small mushroom and classic power-ups and of course, luigi). Mario Galaxy better include Luigi Co-op a la DKC or else.
