So pardon my reactions to these two items:
1. THE KOOPALINGS ARE IN NEW SMB WII. That tickles me pink, and they look GREAT in CGI. About time, Ninty! Now if you could just trim the number of baby characters down to, I dunno, ZERO, that'd be great. The Mushroom Kingdom is not a nursery!

2. GIOVANNI'S IN POKEMON HEARTGOLD/SOULSILVER. My heart just officially skipped a beat. They actually went back and added this in. Don't want to give away too many spoilers, but you'll need a Celebi to get to the scene. (and yes, he IS the GSC Rival's father)

However, I was rather irked at another discovery.
NO WARIO AND WALUIGI IN NEW SMB WII?! SERIOUSLY?!
Nintendo blows it again. We could've had all four plumbers playing together simultaneously, and it would've been great. Instead of the Evil Twins, who do we get? Toads.
Two of 'em. One yellow, one blue.
People ragged on Luigi for being a palette swap for the longest time, so THIS is not acceptable.
They better be unlockable or DLC, Nintendo.
