I have Nintendo Points waiting for X-Men & TMNT Acarde

Here's the bad news Ubisoft has the game rights to the TMNT franchise currently, a good idea is to launch the arcade game along side the TMNT brawler that's developed by Game Arts.

That's why it would probably be 600 points instead of 500, just like the NES TMNT game. I am surprised companies are doing this more. Nintendo sorta did it when they released Metroid and Super Metroid the same month as Metroid Prime 3 Corruption. Why not release Super Smash Bros. the same week as Super Smash Bros. Brawl? Hopefully Konami and Ubisoft do make some deal to release the TMNT arcade game the same week as the new TMNT brawler.

Releasing SSB the same week as SSBB could have actually hurt sales - not significantly, but maybe a little.

Speaking of sales, I still can't believe Nintendo didn't put an option in SSBB to take you right to the game in the Wii Shop Channel (rather than just saying you can buy it). Also makes me wish they would create demos for Virtual Console and WiiWare. Hell, they don't even have to do much, just do what most Xbox Live Arcade games do (with XBLA you actually download the entire game, but there is a time limit on the demo that is removed if you decide to buy the game).
