As a kid, I remember looking through magazines such as the Official Nintendo one, getting really excited to play on this. When I discovered that it wasn't getting a UK release, I was gutted. Back in 2004/2005, I would have only been 14 or 15 and wasn't overly familiar with the world of importing back then. Ever since, I have always been a huge WarioWare fan, I've picked up every release and has since gone on to become one of my favourite Nintendo franchises. A couple of Christmases ago, I saw a shop have a copy of WarioWare Twisted in their collectors cabinet. I was umming and arring as to whether or not I should have picked it up. After a half an hour phone call discussing it with with my girlfriend, we eventually settled on it being a Christmas present, but it would be the only present I would receive that year because of how expensive it was. I went up to the counter, told them I wanted it, and they told me I couldn't have it because not 5 minutes ago, they had sold it on their eBay store. I was wounded. Why did I not just pick it up?! Seeing this one continuously skyrocket in value is something that has always made me sad, but just this month, funnily enough, I thought stuff it and went on ebay to track a copy down. The prices were insane, but was adamant that I would find a copy that I would at least be happy to part my cash for. Wouldn't you know it, I found it at the same price I saw it at that retro games shop a couple of years ago. It's fantastic. It's so much fun and is easily the best in the series in my opinion. With Switch having gyro, I'm hoping they take a leaf out of Kirby's Tilt n Tumbles book and release it on NSO for everyone to play.

Got one for me and my son yesterday. We were totally let down. We got a cardboard picture that you had to stick stickers on. So disappointing. I know McDonald's have been doing cardboard for a while now, but at least the Mario Movie ones were cool 3D models that could be displayed once built. This was just......rubbish. Ah well, the Happy Meal box was cool at least 🤷

And this list is just the tip of the iceberg. The vast majority of this list are first party titles. There are so many more third party titles to try out too. Sure, there is a ton of shovelware, but go through it and you'll find the Wii's catalogue to be much deeper than you thought. Some examples being:

House of the Dead: Overkill
De Blob 1+2
Deadly Creatures
Calling
Boom Blox
Rayman Origins
Speed Racer: The Videogame
Gunblade NY + L.A. MachineGuns
A Boy and his Blob
Martian Panic
Cursed Mountain
Eledees
Epic Mickey
Geometry Wars: Galaxies
Disaster: Day of Crisis
Kororinpa
Ghost Squad
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Smash Up
Red Steel 2
NBA Jam
Dead Space Extraction
Ivy the Kiwi?
Bit. Trip Complete
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
Zack and Wiki: Quest for BarboroTreasure
Lost in Shadow

And they're just the ones I can think of.

Plus there's so many more first party titles that haven't mentioned too. Seriously, I don't think people know just how rich that systems library actually is

Really hope they haven't pulled the plug on Sega Forever. It's great that a games company has something dedicated to the things of the past. It's a great way to learn about things and is also still quite a unique concept Sega has done. Nintendo, Sony, SNK, etc could quite easily do something quite similar if they wanted to as they each have an incredibly rich history of stuff that I'm sure people would be dying to discover. Fingers crossed this isn't the end.

I have wanted to play this for years and now there might actually be a chance. This is fantastic news. Let's hope something comes out of this.

I mean, it is pretty obvious it's there to be fair 🤷‍♂️

I've been following this from the get go and I'm really invested in it. Personally, I think if its marketed right, it'll do better than what people think.

Also........new Earthworm Jim. Need I say more? 🤷‍♂️

Looks cool, but at $130, I'll just stick with my mini and the additional 20 games. Perhaps when a price drops occurs, I may be more tempted
