No idea. Maybe some info on Dynamic Slash? They're still listing it for 2009 so they've got to have something presentable soon.

I see the Nintendo hyping NSMBW until its launch... since it is obviously going to be a huge title

So if a game isn't obviously huge, they pull its advertising budget?  Freaking Japanese non-rape-game maker.

I'm sure Nintendo will hype Galaxy 2 more in an attempt to prove that people want 3D Mario more than 2D Mario.

NSMBW comes out this fall, Super Mario Galaxy 2 late next year. NSMBW is probably gonna be their big title this fall, so I see them doing a lot of hype for it.

Galaxy 2 is not until 2010 though, so i see most hype going to NSMBW

They will want to hype NSMBW much more seeing how it is going to be getting a Holiday release

In Chinese astrology 2009 is the year of the Ox. But in Video Game Astrology it is the year of the Mario.

I thought you were going to make some comparisson to Nintendo being as slow as an ox in releasing games. I'd say they are stubborn ox for not bringing or talking about certain games recently released in Japan. Namely Tact of Magic.

Looks like there is alot of 2 player WSR action goin on in Japan

too bad they didn't include 2 player boxing (4 M+ needed)
I'm still holding out that there this will be Nintendos 1st DLC game with tennis and Boxing added to the Wii Shop in December

When it comes to Wii Sports I don't see what the difference is between tennis and table tennis.

You can go crazy with the spin techniques in Ping Pong, since the paddle is small and light.  Tennis, not nearly as flexible, or split-second fast.

The difference in spin and quickness is emphasized for these video games.

I guess that must be why they chose table tennis instead of tennis. Wii Motion Plus benefits table tennis a lot more than it does regular tennis if table tennis relies more on fancy spins.

While I'd love seeing the DLC come from Nintendo, I would imagine there just being a new Wii Sports ____ game with more activities.

But they need more casuals (w/ credit cards) to get on that WiiShop.
As soon as you buy one, you will find dozens more things you probably want to buy too.

Agreed, I just don't think they would do it. For whatever reason they don't seem to think like we do.

It would help if Nintendo advertised the Wii Shop Channel here, they have released many commercials in Japan advertising the service.

I saw a commercial for Mario Kart DS the other day but I don't think I've ever seen a commercial for any WiiWare game.
Why do ancient games get marketing but not anything on the Shop Channel?
