Nice, FF:CC screens look... acceptable
Mario Kart - a nice upgrade from DD
Mario Baseball - GC version but smoother?
Rayman - like the first but more detail
MH3 - fairly decent
BWii - Great, liking the style
SSBB - Exceptional

Overall, everything is shaping up rather nicely. :)

Mario Kart Wii looks so basic... Oh, and Peach on a Motorcycle with almost no clothes at all...

Why Nintendo, why?

Is it just me or are there ported stages in Mario Kart Wii? DK level in Double Dash, the snow level on Star Cup from Mario Kart 64 among other. I share the concerns of others that this game doesn't look good at all this stage, and i'm not referring to the graphics, i'm referring to just the general look of the game in terms of its stages...

Mario Baseball, i'll probably get as I owned Wii Sports Baseball, but please, no broken controls (ala Mario Party 8 Baseball Minigame)...

Bwii's inclusion of online play has made me committ to a purchase, although voice chat is an ideal inclusion for this game, of which its ommission would be unacceptable...

Brawl, nothing really needs to be said here, except I overwhelmingly support Sonics inclusion in the game. Now bring us MEGAMAN and i'll be fully content (regarding third party characters).

The rest, NAH (either due to non exclusivity and/or being reject material [e.g. Rabbids non exclusive reject game instead of proper Rayman platform game], Crystal Chronicles Reject game instead of official series installments (More likely going to favor Wii Ware game over the console game), Monster Hunter 3, not interested, although I sincerely hope its sells a ton in Japan as Nintendo is almost in a crisis now in Japan with Sony getting dangerously close to undoing all of Nintendos success in the past financial year...

Solitanze, in case you have forgotten, Mario Kart DS also has borrowed stages. Lots of them. It's still beyond any doubt the best Mario Kart game so far. That's my opinion, at least.

I think Battalion Wars 2 is set to be one of my favourite games for the whole of this gen. Just look at those screens!

As for Final Fantasy, anything which looks remotely similar to XII (which unfortunately I haven't experienced) must be a good thing.

"Mario Kart Wii looks so basic... Oh, and Peach on a Motorcycle with almost no clothes at all..."

Honestly do you care? Do you really want a MK game to have bump mapping superior polygon count? They managed to make MKDS the best MK game ever and NOT because of the graphics but because of the level design and gameplay mechanisms. Metroid Prime could use better visuals yes. But Mario Kart...it's really not important.

Now as for the levels, it appears that all handheld games have double the number of stages in comparison to the console versions. Since the cost of developing MK should not be as expensive as the respective cost of let's say MK64, I hope that this MK game will have 16 rereleases and 16 ALL NEW ones. I am sorry Nintendo, you spoiled us too much with MKDS.

WTF, people complaining already about MK? they've shown sweet f*ck all of this game and it looks good, so what if some stages are reused, mario kart has always done that, and tracks from double dash? waah, at least i'll be able to play those in a /real/ MK, not that lame two-person-cart crap.

12 player online play people.

Also that screen of Moster Hunter looks really pretty, can anyone fill me in on exactly what kind of gameplay the series offers?

Aww :( the Crystal Chronicles screens are just stills from the month-old trailer on the official site. Still can't believe they are actually making Crystal Chronicles for Wii, DS -and- WiiWare.

It seems like screen shots these days are made for people to use as background images, it's actually a good advertisement stratagy.

I'm liking crystal chronicles, I'm one of the 9 or so people who actually enjoyed the first one enough to finish it so I'm optimistic about this one, especially that it's bucket less.

Mario cart Wii will be fun, though I'm curious how the controls are going to be.

As for SSBB, I think I'll just wait for the game, I've simply seen too many screens at this point and it's become sooo much hype.
