I just picked up a copy when I stepped out for lunch a little while ago. If someone doesn't beat me to it, I'll post some impressions later tonight after I get it home and have a chance to play.

Mmmmm, Mario Sunshine had some nice screens too! (augh)
And come on, Brawl's screens are smaller than normal screens to hide the aliasing...

I'm wondering where you've been the past few generations...Ninty takes HORRIBLE screenshots that look nothing like the game does in motion...That is all...

There's nothing wrong with the sunset, per se. However, I find it hard to justify watching the sunset when, by skipping it and going to bed early, you could wake up in time to watch the sunrise, which is more beautiful.

Sorry I need to repost this here, I hate people making new threads for every bit of information released about a game.
All the credit goes to Rhoq for finding this, he just put it in the wrong spot.Quote

If Wal-mart wants to say that there morals are such that they don't even want to carry AO games and that pisses you off, it sounds to me like the problem is Wal-mart, not the ESRB. That's all I'm saying.

In the context of this discussion, I would be surprised if the ESRB would ever rate an identical game on one platform AO instead of the M it received on every other platform just because the controller is supposedly more immersive. They rate the content, not how it feels to play the game.

Rhoq, to me that sounds like an issue you should take up with the retailers, not one with the people giving the ratings... but that's just me.

I think Ian is right on this one "Violence should always be judged by intent".
This statement right here "The Wii doesn't make a game any more violent just because of it's controller." is where your whole argument is flawed. For me to move a joystick and then press a button to strangle someone is a whole lot different than me actually simulating the motions with the wiimote to get the same result. That by default makes the game more violent.
The minute you actually start acting out these acts of violence, even in a simulated way, makes the game more realistic and therefore more violent. The ratings on Wii games should be more heavily enforced, by the parents of the children and the store clerks thats are selling the games to them. I don't think the games should be rated any different than the same versions on other systems, as they have the same content, but ID's should definately be checked and rating should be enforced.

Rhoq, an AO rating is not censorship, it's rating a title.
Violence in video games will be an issue until something else comes along to influence people. The fact is that the ESRB does do an exceptionally good job of rating the games most of the time, and parents and stores need to step up to the plate and pay attention to them. It shouldn't be the job of the government to raise every single kid in this world.

You guys, don't forget that it came out on the 21st of March. That means it had either 4 or 11 days on sale for that period, so that's pretty good. I'd imagine if they can sell a total of 35-50,000 by the end of its lifetime they'll be happy. Most important, though, is that the PS3 version didn't outsell it significantly. That's all that matters.
ETA: VGChartz says that the PS3 version has now sold just under 40,000 by April 22 with the Wii version having sold 22,000 by April 1st. The Wii version isn't on their charts after that (top 50) but the PS3 version wasn't on the April 1st chart so who knows? It does say that the Wii version outsold the PS3 version in their first week.
