I hope this one isn't a joke thread.

Watch Game Head this Friday Night at 12:35a — Only on Spike!
Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime joins our very own Geoff Keighley once again to finish the fight.
In early February of 2006, (when the Wii was still The Revolution and Reggie was still a VP) at a go-kart track outside of Las Vegas, Reggie Fils-Aime and Geoff Keighley started a rivalry that has taken the gaming world by storm. By using a banana peel, Reggie managed to beat Geoff in a 200k go-kart race. However, Game Head won some previously undisclosed information on The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess.
Left embarrassed and hungry for revenge, Geoff got his rematch at Nintendo’s extremely crowded E3 booth in May of 2006 in Los Angeles. In a best of three match, Keighley managed to literally beat the then Nintendo VP at his own game: Wii Sports – Tennis.
Now the score stands at 1:1. And in THE year for competitive gaming, we’re taking a quick break from the Console Wars, and finishing our fight (sorry again Peter): Game Head’s Geoff Keighley vs Reggie Fils-Aime, now Nintendo of America President.
The tie will be broken as Geoff and Reggie go Wii Bowling, and Real Bowling, in a best of four frames challenge. Reggie admits that he hasn’t gone bowling since college (with a beer in his hand) and Keighley only knows how to bowl with ten pins. Canadians…
Bonus! We world premiere the trailer for SSX for the Wii (even Reggie hasn’t seen this). Reggie candidly talks about the Wii60 and Peter Moore even weighs in on the console love affair rumors that he started. Can there be a Reggie/Peter “Gears of War” showdown in the mix??!?!
Find out by watching Game Head’s Wii-Off special this Friday Night at 12:35a only on Spike! Frankly, it’s Wii-Tastic.

SSX (EA, Wii)
RESISTANCE FALL OF MAN (INSOMNIAC GAMES, PS3)

THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: TWILIGHT PRINCESS (NINTENDO, Wii)

Doesn't seem too far fetched on a idea.

Can't wait for SSX to hit the Wii, maybe even the PS3 and Xbox 360. The first 3 were awesome, but On Tour looked like a step back. Hopefully the series will rebound in the next-gen.

On Tour was definitley a MAJOR step back. SSX 3 will alwasy rank as one of my favortie games of all time. It was amazing. Then On Tour just sucked. Needless to say, I am definitely looking forward to SSX on Wii. Same with Tiger Woods. If they can replicate how good Madden is both have some serious potential.

It's old news that it was coming to the Wii, but it'll nice to see what the game will look like on the Wii.

Bump, as a video has officially surfaced:

I'll copy my post there:

SSX3 was the pinnacle of the series and was an amazing game. If you were burnt out by then, you missed out on a great game. I didn't play SSX or Tricky much, but 3 was an outstanding example of tweaking the formula just enough to make it completely awesome.

This one - so far - looks a lot like SSX3. If it retains the visuals we found there (or improves them, please) and all the openness from the game, as well as the absolute INSANE amount of replay, this will be one hell of a game.

Adding online would seal the deal as quite possibly one of the greatest snowboarding games ever.

As far as Mii speculation goes, I wonder....as games come out where Miis could be incorporated, do you think you'll get access to Customization packs? I.e., SSX gives you a "SnowPlay" pack, and you can add scarves and hats and gloves to your Mii. Nothing huge, just enough to make them fit the game in question.

It would be nice if you could have the packs usable in other games, but I doubt it. You'd have to load it to the hard drive inside, and I don't think Nintendo originally planned for it.

Would be a cool idea though.

I was expecting something Wii-related in this video.
