Second paragraph from the bottom on that page. You'll notice it also mentions games for the MSX system, as far as I know that's Japan-only.

Yeah, the Sim City games are great. I actually found that an odd inclusion for the VC though. The classic Sim City is available for free (legally) on the PC.

Yes, but I don't like playing it on PC. I like the old SNES Version. That and Zelda I spent a thousand years playing.

Oh, don't misunderstand me, I certainly wouldn't belittle someone for paying for it. It just seems an odd choice to me for launch, especially considering how underwhelming the US VC launch list actually is.

IGN played Twilight Princess for 10 hours!
http://wii.ign.com/articles/744/744044p1.html

"If Wii Sports is for the non-gamers, Twilight Princess is for the hardcore. After I spent 10 hours with the game, I barely managed to squeak by two temples, with the third so far off that I could scarcely imagine getting there, let alone approach the objective. (For the record, out of 30 or so journalists, nobody came close to the third temple.) I asked how long it took Nintendo's testers to complete the entire game the first time through. The answer is a whopping 70-plus hours. Adding insult to injury, diabolical Nintendo translator and localization manager Bill Trinen told me that he was working on his second play-through of the game. Knowing what to do and where to go, and skipping cut-scenes, Trinen said that he had logged about 27 hours to make it about two thirds of the way through the temples themselves - and that doesn't account for any of the side quests or time sucks like fishing, a single operation that could easily add hours upon hours to Zelda's depth."

Well, with the demad where it is, I'm sure someone would gank that kiosk if it wasn't bolted to the ground... same goes for ps3, since what people are paying on EBay would buy you a hyundai.

Wii.com has videos of people playing Twilight Princess for the first time! (sword, bow, riding)
They also have a new trailer and the opening to the game!
http://us.wii.com/soft_loz_tp.jsp

The trailer shows Zelda in full dress for the first time... and what seems to be the Twilight King (maybe Ganon?)

Thanks Lalo. I gotta admit though- I have the sims in every incarnation(Ps2,Ds,Gamecube) And I have only really enjoyed the PC Version.I have every sims ever made, and the PC is the most fun. UNLESS Wii makes it just like the PC version.

April- I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about lol

-----------------

Wondering how many Wii's your local Target will receive??
http://www.ps3seeker.com/wii/
Our local target is receiving 60... there are a number of Tagets withtin 20 miles from my house receiving more than 150 Wiis!
If the target is red on the map, they don't know how many... if it is blue, then you are in luck
