So I am finally in a position in my life where I can afford all the fuckawesome shit coming out this year, but am no longer in a position where I have the free time to play all of them
Come to think of it, there was probably more Wii-aiming-appropriate stuff in Wind Waker than there was in TP. You could control the baton, the bow, the telescope, the camera, your ship's cannon, the camera at sea...
After revealing the Super Mario Collection Special Pack on its release calendar, Nintendo of Japan has officially announced the title and opened a website to celebrate the 25th anniversary of everyone's favorite mustachioed plumber. As speculated previously, the pack includes a port of Super Mario All-Stars, a booklet about the history of the Mario series and a CD, which contains Mario music ranging from the original Super Mario Bros. to this summer's Super Mario Galaxy 2. The website also shows off plenty of celebratory Club Nintendo swag.
Super Mario Collection will be released in Japan on October 21 for ¥2,500 ($30). No announcement has been made regarding a North American version of the collection, though it seems like a no-brainer given how successful recent Mario titles have been. Check out a video of the collection after the break.
I want that :P Also, they need a Zelda one in February.
It's not really the 25th anniversary of Mario though, is it? Isn't the 29th anniversary?

This right here. I played Wii TP before Wind Waker. Coming from TP, I found the targeting extremely frustrating during the last boss fight before Ganon.

Yeah they kind of screwed the pooch on that. I was going to say they weren't counting Donkey Kong since he was technically "Jumpman", but they're ignoring Mario Bros. here too.
Nintendo celebrates 25 years of Super Mario Bros with 90-second celeb TV ad
To mark Mario’s silver anniversary Nintendo is launching a wide-reaching marketing campaign featuring a mix of celebrities.
The campaign kicked off on August 9th with a series of fans’ favourite Mario experiences, and explodes today with an epic 90-second TV ad which will be shown during Coronation Street. Stars making an appearance include Jonathan Ross, Ant and Dec, Diversity and Patrick Moore.
This will be backed up by 30-second, 60-second and 90-second TV ads running for a further three weeks, while a 60-second spot will be shown in cinemas across the UK and be seen by around 1.7m movie goers.
Nintendo is also encouraging gamers to get involved and play Mario games at 19 live dates running until September 19th. This offers players 106,400 trials at six different locations nationwide.
25 years ago today the industry’s favourite Italian plumber first made his mark in Japan with the release of Super Mario Bros. Since then Mario has gone on to become gaming’s most successful and acclaimed franchise.
“So many people have grown up with the Super Mario Bros series,” Nintendo product manager Zoe Cooper told MCV.
“It is great that Nintendo’s activity can play a part in helping everyone remember and celebrate their favourite TV moments.”
A huge range of special 25th anniversary POS will also be available to retailers, all stressing the tagline ‘Part of the family since 1985’. There will also be a wide range of PR action taking place today, with editorial takeovers and special features running across several specialist websites and magazines.

Jonathan Ross is funny mans.
edit. Also, Ant n' Dec are kind of reality TV host duo and Diversity won over Susan Boyle in X-Factor I think. So, y'know, high caliber celebrities all up ins.

Ugg that reminds me I still need to beat that game. I bought it off Steam forever ago and played it a little bit but haven't touched it since. (I think the hassle of having to resync my 360 controller and soforth keeps putting me off, and damn if I will play that with a keyboard!)

Capcom on the 3DS and Resident Evil: Revelations.
"[Revelations] is a completely new project that we started up after hearing about the 3DS. It's not a project that was progressing on separate hardware and was moved to the 3DS. The images since the game's E3 unveiling have all been real time rendered on the 3DS development hardware. It seems as though people didn't believe us at first, but we'd like you to know that the 3DS is capable of this level of expressive power."

In fact all of the not-zombies he's been shooting have been the real people the whole time, and it is he who has been the dangerous, infected not-zombie the entire series.

This is what happens when Anne Rice takes over. Long after she's proven she can't write anything else...

Think about it for a moment.
So on top of everything else, Wesker was actually Jesus.

What's there left to reveal in Resident Evil? That the boulder Chris punched the fuck out of in RE5 was the original creator of the T-virus?
Off the top of my head:
The fates of Sheri (girl from RE2), Barry (original), Rebecca Chambers(RE0 and the original), Billy Coen (RE0), the two additional Nemesis units, and Umbrella's European branch are all unknown.
EDIT: Oh, and the Wesker children bullshit from RE5 is probably going somewhere.

What was wrong with the controls? Seemed like a typical platformer control scheme to me. (as long as you aren't playing the PC version with the default joystick button mappings which can only be described as "god awful")
I can't think of anything off the top of my head except for Rock Band 3
EDIT: And DJ Hero 2, shit, I hope I can afford that one along with RB3
Castlevania: Lord of Shadow
Enslaved
Gothic 4
Two Worlds 2
Medal of Honor
Fallout: New Vegas
Vanquish
Fable 3
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2
Rock Band 3
Comic Jumper: The Adventures of Captain Smiley
^ Just a few of the ones people have shown interest here.
I'm definitely getting Fable 3 and Fallout: New Vegas. Gothic 4, Two Worlds 2 and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 interest me, too, but I'll wait for reviews.
Thankfully for my wallet the only November game I want is Call of Duty: Black Ops.
Oh shit!
I can't believe I forgot about Castlevania, I'm a bad person

I'm with you on that.
Yay, decent job.
Boo, so much unpaid overtime I have no life.
I feel bad for typing this right now.

For shame!
They could easily fit SMW, SMW2, Mario 64 and Sunshine on one disc.
Or they can emulate All-Stars and not spend any money at all on programming :P
Also, some versions of All-Stars have SMW on them. Not sure if this will or not.

The game is actually all a dream. This explains why it makes no sense.

Damn.
I mean, that includes this:

The screens they've released so far have all been shots from that video.
In the stomachs of the developers.
...because you need at least four glasses of sherry to make a game plot THAT goofy.
And he's been dead the whole time. Undead.

Weren't they branded as "Mario All Stars + Super Mario World" though? I'd guess this doesn't included it.

You've got it!
I should play Psychonauts again some time. I should probably also watch Inception. I hear it's a pretty good movie.

I played Psychonauts, but never finished it. It was an utterly genius game, so I'm not really sure why I didn't finish it.
Because it controls like ass and the difficulty curve can only be described using non-euclidean geometry.
Still an awesome game though.
I am a freaking nerd.
Oh shit!
I can't believe I forgot about Castlevania, I'm a bad person
My name's actually Tony so this works out pretty well
I refuse to get excited about that game until I see reviews. Their track record on 3d Castlevanias is not the greatest :P
Maybe Enslaved will be good, I'm...hopeful but I'm not expecting it
Yeah Enslaved is such a wild card for me that I have no clue. It looks like it could maybe possibly be good, but I honestly can't tell.
Ditto for me. Why I'm going to wait for reviews.
