It has load times. Therefore, it's not good enough to be on the Wii at this stage.
My point is, after Sonic Colours being so brilliant to video game players by not making them wait for levels to start, this has to drag us back to the Dreamcast era.

I am very interested in Fortune Street/Boom Street!
I haven't seen much in the way of footage for the game but these guys play it for the first time in this video so we learn along with them:

Now, I haven't watched the video all the way yet but I'm quite interested in the game! Nice choice of music from the Mario & Dragon Quest games too. I'm not too fond of that loading screen at the beginning but it's short enough. There doesn't seem to be any other loading times. Good thing too, since it's a board game.
It seems like there are some detailed workings and I'm looking forward to learning about them all.
Boom Street is going to be out here in Ireland on January the 6th, making it the first Wii release of 2012 here.

Kirby Right Back At Ya! — Episode 50
King Dedede gets these doll replicas of himself from NME and gives them out among the people of Cappy Town. Little do they know that while they're sleeping, the king can hypotise them through the dolls.
After they get hypnotised the people find themselves loving and trusting King Dedede so much that they give all their money to his bank. Something happens though when King Dedede starts jumping around out of frustration due to lack of sleep...
No Kirby abilities this time.
About the ending... I can't help but wonder... is there a "2001: A Space Odyssey" reference in there?

Enjoying the flea market in Animal Crossing for Wii
Today was the flea market day in my town. It's not something I've done much with before but today I gave it a chance. I ended up enjoying it so much that I played it for a couple of hours!
It felt good to sell things to the villagers for more than twice the price that Nook would pay me for them. It felt especially so if I didn't really like who they were. I just got stuff from the rubbish for free and was able to sell it. They were really happy to buy it too!
Maybe I should try out some of those business management sims. I've never played the likes of say, M.U.L.E., Elite or Sim City. I played Harvest Moon a good bit before but always gave up on it. We'll see we'll see.

Skyward Sword: Already played the batteries out!
Since I got the Golden Wii Remote Plus edition of Skyward Sword, it came with a pair of batteries. I've been playing the game so much though that I've already used them up! It's funny how the game lasts longer than the batteries that came with it.
Not that it's something we really think about nowadays, since nearly everything we use has a rechargable battery built in.

Kirby's Adventure Wii is out today in Ireland!
Or as they call it in the U.S., "Kirby's Return to Dreamland". People are going to end up just calling it "Kirby Wii" I'd say. Anyway, I made sure not to buy it in Gamestop in case they sell me a broken case again. Besides, I like it sealed and in mint condition.
So far it feels good to control. Kirby runs a bit slower than I'd like him to but it's better than Kirby 64, where he moves really really slowly.
The game loads very quickly as well! This automatically makes it a million times better than Epic Yarn!
I've even seen an ad for it on tv. It's of a little girl who's asking Santa for the game and wants her mother to play with her instead of being stuck washing dishes.

Kirby Right Back At Ya! — Episode 49
Yes! The very first episode I ever saw of this show back when I was only vaguely interested in it!
This episode is all about animation production! King Dedede wants to make a cartoon series with him as the hero so he hires the folk of Cappytown to slave away and make all the drawings for his show. You also see other fun stuff like the voice actors and projectionists. The show they end up producing then depicts King Dedede as the star warrior hero instead of Kirby.
So it's a show within a show that parodies the show it's showing in! It is such a clever episode and it's what initially got me really interested in watching this cartoon to begin with.
