You should sell sick bags on news bits. You'd be able to afford a dedicated server in no time.

It's going to be shit and you jolly well know it.

I feel so sorry for the actors and actresses in these Wii advertisements.

I'll give 20 stars to the person who can make me a looping GIF of the guy with the red stripe on his shirt doing the hammer motion. (when he's doing the I'm a complete fanny face).

It's just worrying seeing the little girl in the second video shaking her hand up and down vigorously whilst saying 'yes, come oooonnn...'

Bodes well for her future!!

A wonderfully disgusting franchise that still will manages to rake in money for Nintendo on a reguarly basis. [well done Ninty]

This game is so clearly a port according to reviews, easily the worst inhouse Nintendo game.

Those adverts will apppeal to parents who are stupid enough to think that their kids are playing Mario Party when the head out at night to go to one. [LS]

Am I the only one that thinks these adverts aren't that suitable? Up to the '80 NEW MINI GAMES' screen it's really good, but that looks really stuck on and not a very British advert like thing. Also, I imagine this will make people buy it (or not buy it) thinking all there is to it is minigames.

And of course there's the dirty imagine of teaching little girls how to wank off guys. That's just unsuitable in so many different ways.

GAME and HMV are both saying this is a July release.. has it been delayed or are they stupid?
