    I would be more excited about L4D2, if the demo weren't a bit underwhelming.

    Oh well, maybe I should go for NSMB instead. Is it any good in single player?

  • http://www.younganimal.com/berserk Mr_Qoo

    That's quite a handful of games that are decent enough to warrant playing-maybe not buying all on release. Has anyone tried NSMBs out? I'm very curious about it.

  • http://honorless.net honorless

    Yes. The game is designed for single player mode; it's actually much more difficult to make real progress with multiple people unless you work very well together.

    With more than one…well, maybe two players, NSMB Wii really turns into a party game.

  • MadMirko

    There are those who say it's only good in single player.

    It is a very different game when played with others, and only as fun as the people you play with.

  • malek86

    How long is it?

  • http://www.youtube.com/matman125 matty

    It would be fantastic if Wizardry would come out here, but it's hard to tell if these types of games are decent sellers outside Japan.

  • http://honorless.net honorless

    Couldn't tell you. I spent most of my time with the game playing co-op, so I'm still on World 2. Haha!

    It is a much bigger game than NSMB DS, if that is what you're worried about.

  • malek86

    Cool. That was exactly what I was worried about :P

  • http://honorless.net honorless

    Any Siliconera readers who are getting the Amazon edition of Wizardry know what's special about it? I'm very curious!

    …The game isn't an Amazon exclusive, is it?

  • http://www.youtube.com/matman125 matty

    It seems like it is… After looking for other possible answers I remembered Spencer wrote about it a while back

    I better keep my eye open at the usual spots that specialize in imports.

    The way some make co-op to be reminds me of the same way people go crazy over a game of Monopoly.
    I should take caution while playing with my family…

  • Ereek

    I was going to say it looks like a rather weak week for me, I'll end up getting AC2, but when it goes down in price, but then I saw:

    Wizardry: Seimei no Kusabi

    And I took back the thought. I've wanted this to come out in North America for ages. It looks beautiful and I love me some Wizardry. Looks like it's import time.
