Wishing everyone here at the forums the best for our new year, and here's to hoping that 2009 is better than 2008 for those of us who didn't have a very good '08 in general.
Seems we have a lot to look forward to in '09. A few awesome remakes of old classic favorites are or may be in the schedule for this year's game release lineup (including Punch-Out Wii and a rumor that a Pilotwings Wii may be in the making) and supposedly, a Zelda movie is slated to be in theaters starting April 1st (and according to friends, no, it's not an April Fool's Joke. I know, I asked them myself, just to be sure! IGN supposedly has a large part in it).
Happy New Year, C-Island!

And a happy 2009 to you all as well! Though I must say, I have my doubts on the zelda movie. IIRC, IGN already did an april fools prank of a Zelda movie in recent years.

That incident was why I was skeptical. I said to the friend that informed me of this "the fact that this 'movie' is coming out April 1st already makes it highly suspicious". But he's all "no no no it's real! Wanna see it with me when it comes out?" I think he's going to be sorely disappointed.

Happy new years everyone! I had a pretty good 2008 although just by looking at my next week it looks like 2009 may get off to a bumpy start

happy new year everyone!
Oh and for the Pilotwings rumor.. This is the message I found: ----
Multiple game retailers have had a listing for Pilotwings Wii for a long time now…years, to be exact! We got excited at first, and then eventually blew the listings off as a mistake. Of course, we should know that pesky rumors just won’t die. A Pilotwings Wii rumor has resurfaced, and the guys at LiveWii say that the title will be coming sometime in the first half of 2009. The rumor also states that the title will support balance board control and Mii integration.
For many, Pilotwings is Nintendo's most brilliant franchise; an oft-serene experience that allowed players to complete air-based challenges using all manner of transport.
The last game in the series, Pilotwings 64, was released in 1996, so a sequel is long overdue. Rumours of a Wii version for the franchise have been around for years, and now LiveWii claims to have information that it will materialise during the first half of 2009.
Not only that, but the site also claims that the game will support Wii Balance Board, as well as Miis.
Just rumour and speculation for now, but wouldn't it be great if it all came true?
