I really love this game. It's frantic, fun, and it looks pretty great on top of that. There is a definite arcade-style hook to it that makes you want to go through the levels again and again.

I do agree with Jason though, the title is very niche, but the score is justified. The Wii pointer controls are absolutely fantastic, and the game just doesn't do much wrong.

What I would say is that if you liked the original even a little bit, you definitely should grab it. By extension, if you like shmups, this is also a solid addition to your catalog.

Arguably there wasn't much done with Super Mario 64 DS. I'm sure it was pretty close to a straight port. I can tell you that the 3DS stuff was anything but. Seems like there is a lot more effort being invested, hence the editorial.

I needed to post it, it's a part of our brand new Video Initiative™.

The game is looking much different than the Punch-Out!! style it sported at last year's E3. IMO this is a good thing, but we'll see how it turns out in execution.

I agree with you guys, very exciting to see Mario Tennis on VC. I also liked it better than the GC title, so being able to play it once again with non-busted controllers is pretty awesome.

March is a horrible launch time. I have some strong doubts that Nintendo is going to launch the next Wii-caliber system at a totally random point in the year.

A November launch would provide a much larger chance for immediate success and big press. Like I said, I can see Nintendo holding the console till next Christmas if they can't get it out for this one.

Suggestion box will have to wait. I got the identification stuff in there as well as a brand new video section for the site.

If Reggie is saying 2011 release, I'm afraid it's going to get pushed to Holiday 2011. I guess we'll see what happens, but almost all signs pointed to a 2010 release for me.

By the end of the weekend I'll try and work both of those in.

Yeah, I really wish I could've got this one out during E3. Now that it's over, hopefully everyone will take use of this new feature to page through everything that was posted.

I can assure you that The Conduit 2 was more interesting than Red Steel 2. I understand that the world of Red Steel 2 may have been a bit more interesting, but the shooting mechanics of The Conduit 2 were much better.

Of course, The Conduit 2 sports multiplayer, so that's an improvement as well right off the bat. Granted, if you are sick of FPS games, this one isn't going to do anything to convince you otherwise, but in terms of a Wii shooter it was a bit more impressive than most of the other shooters I've seen.
