Wat the f. Shepherd's Crossing looks like that joke why did the chicken cross the road. Unfortunately no one will ever know because no one would play that game.

I like it how all of them have to do with either pets or babies. And most are for family entertainment. THE CASUAL MARKET HAS TAINTED GAMING FOREVAR!

casual gaming has destroyed nintendo and is slowly eating away at gaming. which sucks cuz ive been a nintendo fan for a long time.

very very very funny ...a great article guys at GR

i have to say aprt from zelda twilight pincess.mario galxy. mario kart. smash bros. for the wii every game for the wii and ds is absolute trash...i will throw my hat in the air and cheer when both the DS and WII are destroyed and never spoke of again...there games are terrible...if u can call them games and i dont care what anyone says.

and theres your proble thats why the box art that are terrible are mostly for wii and ds...

errr anyone else think everyone at nintendo really went down hill after nintendo. all i can say is thank god they sold rare to xbox before destroying themselves =)

but once again well done GR team

@Twishart:
I'm pretty sure you're kidding, since I know you're a site regular. But in case you're not...
Mega Man didn't come out this year.
It didn't even come out this decade.
