''[[Dr. Mario & Bacterial Eradication]]'' is coming out for the new [[Wii]] channel, the WiiWare. Although, it is only a remake of ''[[Dr. Mario (game)|Dr. Mario]]'', it has some slight changes to it. It has better graphics, new added features, and the addition of the [[Mii]] as a playable character (with [[Dr. Mario (character)|Dr. Mario]] being replaced by the Mii). It is compatible with [[Wi-Fi Connection]], and can have up to four players playing at once. Not much else is known about this game, so I’m gonna end here. Like Donkey Kong Wii, this game has no release dates yet. | ''[[Dr. Mario & Bacterial Eradication]]'' is coming out for the new [[Wii]] channel, the WiiWare.

''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]'', my most anticipated game currently, will come out for both the [[Wii]] and [[Nintendo DS]], and will use both the consoles functions, so you can expect some awesome gameplay out of both of them. | ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]'', my most anticipated game currently, will come out for both the [[Wii]] and [[Nintendo DS]], and will use both the consoles functions, so you can expect some awesome gameplay out of both of them. | ||

Fans were surprised to see [[Nintendo]] and [[Sega]] working together on a game featuring [[Mario]] and [[Sonic the Hedgehog]]. However, people have mixed feelings about this game, wondering whether it will be enjoyable, like many of Mario’s sports titles, or if it will be crummy, like many of Sonic’s recent games. I, personally, think the game will be awesome. It will have a wide range of activities, each with its own controls, and will allow players to choose among several Mario and Sonic characters.

I, personally, think the game will be awesome. It will have a wide range of activities, each with its own controls, and will allow players to choose among several Mario and Sonic characters. Mario, Sonic, [[Luigi]], [[Tails]], [[Yoshi]], [[Knuckles]], [[Princess Peach|Peach]], [[Amy|Amy Rose]], [[Bowser]], [[Dr. Eggman]], [[Wario]], [[Shadow (character)|Shadow]], [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]], [[Blaze|Blaze the Cat]], [[Waluigi]] and [[Vector]] have been confirmed to be playable. There are four character types; All-Around, Skill, Speed and Power, with four characters in each category. Each character in the categories have varying statistics, however. Characters who didn’t make it as a playable character will still appear, in the form of referees. They watch over the game, keep score, enforce the rules, and shout out who won the game. | ||
Oh, and, I almost forgot! [[Mii]] will be playable as well. Yeah, how unusual is THAT? We don’t know his character type at this moment, however. | Oh, and, I almost forgot! [[Mii]] will be playable as well. Yeah, how unusual is THAT? We don’t know his character type at this moment, however. | ||

''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' is aptly named, as it is a ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' for the [[Wii]]. Seems to be a good game, but, as we don’t have TOO much info on it (compared to other games), I really can’t say. | ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' is aptly named, as it is a ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' for the [[Wii]].

Its console predecessor, ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', was very enjoyable, and had some awesome new features. Two players in one [[Kart]] was very fun, and the wide range of playable characters made it very enjoyable as well. I can only assume this game will have better gameplay and more characters. My reason for believing that, is because the game will use the [[Wii Remote]] and [[Nunchuk Attachment|Nunchuk]]’s controls, and will feature over 12 racers in one race, meaning more players to choose from. Being bundled with the game, will be the [[Wii Wheel]], [[Nintendo]]’s answer to the wheel for the Playstation (I forget what it was called). We don’t know how the controls of the Wii Wheel work, however, but we’ll find out soon… hopefully. Several new race courses will be included in the game, as well as old ones from previous Mario Kart games, similar to what ''[[Mario Party DS]]'' did. Players can do special tricks as well, and will now have actual cars (not Karts) that match the characters personalities. Motorbikes can be used as well, as confirmed by Nintendo. | Its console predecessor, ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', was very enjoyable, and had some awesome new features.

''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' is the third instalment of the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros. series]]'', and it is coming out on the [[Wii]]. However, as [[Masahiro Sakurai]] didn’t want to exclude those used to the [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] controls, Brawl has four different [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Gameplay|control types]], so rest easy, GameCube players! Additionally, a new story mode, called the [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Subspace Emissary|Subspace Emissary]]. This is an actual story mode, unlike the previous Smash Bros. game modes. It features the [[Subspace Army]] attempting to destroy the world of Smash. The hero characters of several [[Nintendo]] series have to try and stop them. It is actually playable with two players, as well! Even though it may be one of the few single-player modes in the game, it still has slight multi-player features. Another interesting feature, is the [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Stage Builder|Stage Builder]], which allows you to actually make your very own stage for yourself! [[Wi-Fi Connection]] allows you to share your stages with other people around the world. That way, the stages NEVER get boring. Oh, I almost forgot to say, Brawl is compatible with [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Wi-Fi|Wi-Fi Connection]]. You can play '''With Friends''' or '''With Anyone'''. However, you can ONLY record battle records on the '''With Friends''' mode, which requires you to register another persons Friend Code. [[ | ''[[Super Smash Bros.

Brawl#Classic Mode|Classic Mode]] returns from the previous game, with the same gameplay as before. It does, however, have a set stage system, that hints that each series will have MORE than just two stages. Tournament mode returns as well, being completely compatible with Wi-Fi. Although, it is still basically the same as in Melee, however. The [[Home-Run Contest]] and the [[Break the Targets!|Target Smash]] return as well, with slightly new features (check the articles for in-depth info). [[Trophy|Trophies]] return in the game as collectible items, as well as a new collectible item, the [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|Sticker]]. Oh, and how can I forget, the most important part about Super Smash Bros. A standard mode that allows you to just fight as much as you want is still in the game. So, if you just want to unwind with some normal fights, just Brawl it out in VS mode. | ||

Now, for some non-gameplay junk. At this current moment, 22 [[Super Smash Bros.

That’s a big list! Brawl is also introducing 3rd Party characters into Super Smash Bros., with about two being confirmed. Snake and Sonic are the two confirmed 3rd Party characters. However, Sakurai has hinted that he may be including a third 3rd Party character. If there is, who could it be? The [[Assist Trophy]] debuts characters that couldn’t make it as playable characters. When a character is released from the Assist Trophy they, hence the name, assist the player. There are several [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Stages|stages]] confirmed as well, but I really shouldn’t be listing them all. New [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Items|items]], as well as old returning ones, are an important part of this game, as they can help inflict heavy damage on the opponent. | ||
Japan will be getting the game on January 24th, 2008. Originally slated for a December 3rd release for America, it has now been pushed back to February 10, 2008. Sorry about that, yanks, but I have to wait WAY longer. We and Europe don’t even have a release date yet! Well, I at least have something to look forward to. | Japan will be getting the game on January 24th, 2008.
