No, Homeward Bound is a Disney movie, you're thinking of Homeland! Not to be a hard case, I just thought it was funny that you mixed it up with Homeward Bound.

It would be cool if they released that game on Wii, for sure. I won't hold my breath, but there's always Cubivore and Animal Crossing to give me hope...I also wish they had released Giftpia, I really don't expect that one at all, though, it could have been released on Cube a long time ago now.
A "chrome" DS Lite would be just the thing to get me to jump on the bandwagon! If only it were real chrome.... Still, I'd buy it.
The lack of news is definitely...lacking. I really do wish Nintendo would release a little piece of news right now. I guess there's the stuff IGN found out about the controller, but it was mostly boring.
