I'd be for wii.gbatemp.net, and no wii releases (just news) on the main page.

Ever since gbatemp started I've seen it as a Nintendo mobile site.

Dumped already? How?
It shouldn't be too surprising. Wii games are on standard DVDs this time (not a proprietary mini-DVD like the GCN), and Nintendo has probably shipped the stock out by now, so all the various stores will have the stock for the 19th. Of course, this never, ever stops employees working at a small game store to, say, take the copy they pre-ordered for themselves a little early?

The other possible obtainage scenario is that someone who works in the gaming media (e.g. Kotaku, Game Pro, et al) "borrowed" the copy they recieved from Nintendo (for making a preview, review, and/or a strategy guide article) and then loaned it to someone who has a DVD drive, then dump it.

Why did you not make an actual poll? You know, you can do that right?

But leave them, I think Wii belongs at GBAtemp just as much as NDS does.

If we stuck with just GBA releases as our name GBAtemp implies, we'd be dead right about now...

GBA, NDS, Wii. It's all Nintendo. And they are all systems a lot of board members own (or will own). We don't want you to have to go elsewhere for your Wii fix. Just like we didn't want you to go elsewhere for your NDS fix.

We'll hopefully be implementing a new portal system soon that should satisfy everyone.

Not everyone likes the Wii releases on the portal, a lot of people didn't like it when we started covering DS ROMs. But we need to keep up with the times to bring in new members. For now you don't have the option of what you see on the portal, but soon I hope that will change.

For now, you're going to have to put up with them, sorry peeps.

Take them off. Putting NDS releases here is a good idea since the DS is essentially just an evolution of the GBA. If we start seeing Wii releases here, then why not PS2/360/PS3/PSP releases too?

I say leave it. We went through this when the DS came out and people wanted the name changed to NDStemp. Its a major inconvenience to keep making new sites for each product. I see this site dedicated to nintendo handhelds but I don't see the problem with these Wii rom posts, chances are, they are real as its probably easy to dump.

Allow users to pick how many news entries to show up on the portal! Or add 'next/previous' buttons.

6 news entries at a time isn't enough.

And yes, leave the Wii ROMs on the portal.

I'd rather them not be in there, but what the hell do I know...
I guess if NDS stuff's up there, all's fair.
Still, I'd keep it handheld only.
But, then there's the PSP..
Hmmm...

Guess I'll leave it in the lap of the gods...

This is not a handheld site. As it stands now (and I say that because originally it was only GBA) this is a Nintendo site. The Wii is Nintendo so it makes sense to highlight their new console.
