The Nintendo Discussion Thread

[Peanut]

Wow, Super Mario Galaxy looks beautiful. If that's what the Wii is capable of, why do all other Wii games have to look like cattle feces?

Isn't it truly mind-blowing? You've got everything on the console now looking sub-first-gen Xbox, and then you have Mario Galaxy. It's really telling of how lazy developers have been thus far.

[Barkworm]

And Mario Galaxy is sort of a first gen title, meaning that the Wii should be a able to pull off even better graphics. All those lazy developers should get kicked in the balls.

EDIT: New "Phantom Hourglass" trailer!!! (http://www.gaming-videos.de/Trailer/zeldaphgdc07.mov)

[ThirdMarioBro]

Okay, Phantom Hourglass is now offically teh hawt sh*t. That's a big turnaround from last year's clunky mess. Beautiful stuff.

Also, did anyone catch Tetsuya Mizuguchi's hints about possibly a new Rez, and above all else...a new Space Channel 5? Pleeeease, if there is a God in heaven. Ulala + Wiimote = win.

Spore guy apologizes (http://wii.ign.com/articles/771/771849p1.html) for calling the Wii a piece of sh*t.

[Barkworm]

EA employee states his opinion, his employer rips him a new one, employee apologizes. Lame.

[Ra]

*frowns* That's kinda like punching someone in the face and then saying "Oh, sorry! I didn't mean it!". A bit late for that, me thinks.

[ThirdMarioBro]

Who cares? The guy spoke his opinion, then pretended to apoligize to save his job. He's entitled to an opinion.

[Ra]

Ah, that explains it a bit. I thought he just said it for any public reaction he got or something. No idea where I got that idea from *shakes her head*

[ThirdMarioBro]

AMN got video tonight of Koji Kondo's performance at the Video Games Live concert tonight and him being presented a lifetime achievement award for all that he has done. Cameras were banned, but somehow Ray pulled it off anyway. We'll have it up later, along with an exclusive interview with the musical god.

New trailer for No More Heroes. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=owHqGjIFnW8)

I loved Killer 7, so I'm gonna be keeping an eye on this game.

[Peanut]

I've come to the conclusion, the Wii really is a piece of ****. I'm going to buy a PS3 sometime next week.

[Mecha Cow]

Why the sudden change of heart?

[ThirdMarioBro]

He flips with the wind. hell, I'm buying a PS3 too, but it sure as hell isn't going to be anytime soon. The thrill of PS Home wore off, and now it just looks like Second Life Lite.

Just what are you going to play on that thing anyway?

[Peanut]

Why the sudden change of heart?

Nintendo put out all their dates for what is essentially the next 6 months, and there is a grand total of one game I'll be playing. Super Paper Mario. And I'm sure as hell not playing any of third-party trash that's going to be shoved out there.

And, TMB, come on dude. You're the very definition of someone who flips back and forth like a fish. I've never been impressed with the Wii, it's just becoming more and more apparent that Nintendo has no intentions of doing anything different than they did on the Gamecube, aside from releasing bad non-games like Brain Age and Wii-Play every few months.

Xbox 360 FTW. The reason I'm buying a PS3, though? I need something to be my back-up console while the Wii sits and rots like the cheap gimmick it is.

[ThirdMarioBro]

Those are some good points. My Wii is rotting on the shelf too. I don't know what I would do without my 360. I just don't see how you can consider buying a PS3 as a backup console, when it has even less titles scheduled in that same time-frame.

[Mecha Cow]

Yeah, that's Nintendo for you. I didn't expect anything different though.

[Peanut]

It all has to do with their are a couple PS3 games I can go back and check out for awhile, if need be. I can also play PS2 games on it if I want. With the Wii...I just never have any desire to play it. I think of it in the same way as I think of a decent peripheral game, (Donkey Konga, DDR, etc.) once the novelty wears off, you just have so little desire to go back and play it. It was fun while it lasted, but not good enough to keep you coming back. You'll jump into it every so often, but you can't play it like a normal game.

[ThirdMarioBro]

Here's something truly moving.

"Heavenly Sword" is coming out soon and that looks way better than any Wii game we're going to get in the near future.

I like my Wii. I've been addicted to the DBZ game lately... and Zelda: OoT.


And, I have the PS3 and I still only have one game for it... Resistance: Fall of Man. Great great game.... but I'm still waiting for more good PS3 games to come out.

MotorStorm rocks ass, apparently. That's the only one I can name right off the top of my head.

It's a very good game, it's just super lacking on content. Luckily, the developers have said they're planning on releasing more and more content via DLC. I'll be picking up Resistance and Motorstorm on the day I buy my PS3.

It reminds me a lot of a much prettier, better controlling version of ExciteTruck, which is one of few Wii games I enjoy.

I assume you mean Motorstorm? Yeah, I've played the demo a couple of times and every time it blows my mind. The graphics and the gameplay are both awesome. It might not age well in the long run (as with many launch titles), but it's the bomb right now.

Metroid preorder date bumped to 2008. Goddamn you Nintendo. Say hello to a year of absolutely nothing worth playing.

As if Nintendo couldn't piss me off anymore about the Wii they go and do this. There are no games I can think of getting coming out in at least the next 6 months, VC or retail.

[Spitfire]

Doesn't matter, they don't plan on making it widely available until then. They came out with the system around the same time as the PS3. We get 30-40 set PS3 shipments now and we get like 12 Wii's once every maybe 2 weeks if we're lucky.

The Wii's go out in 10 minutes because we get so few. We barely get any nunchucks or remotes as well. So it won't matter anyways because by the time everyone has one and they can start massively selling games the ones that are out now will be due for a price drop, wait what am I saying Nintendo kept Smash Brothers at 50 bucks forever and then dropped it to 30 when everything else was 20.

Either way their smart in making Wii hard to get so more people eat the system up but it has crap to offer. And their not even sending us Gamecubes so it's not like their selling anything but Wii's. Atleast Sony still sends PS2's and we get enough 360s to where we always have atleast 30 on hand, and trust me those sell well, even better then the PS3's which we get like I said and those aren't going anywhere.

[Jed]

We can barely get the Wii in at all. Since launch we've had 4, one in January, two in February and one now which is a pre-ordered one anyway. Anyone who asks me if they should buy one I tell them not yet, to wait for something worthwhile to actually come out for it. I just tell them to buy a 360 for now instead.

[Cure]

Well, I don't regret buying the Wii. Sure Nintendo is making mistakes, but I'm confident I'll get from them what I expect, AAA first party titles, the first being Zelda. And that's it. That's why I am in DIRE need of a 360.

[Spitfire]

As much as I love Nintendo I gota say they never had much that I couldn't get else where. Not at all being a big fan of Mario, Zelda, Metroid, or Donkey Kong it didn't have much to offer me. In fact I only got the GC for Smash Bros, a few 4 player games that were easier to play on it and the RE series.

All the first party games I had weren't all that fun to me. I had Sunshine, Windwaker, and Prime. Meh is all I can say about them. Though most fans say those games sucked anyways, how many 3-D Mario games can they make before it gets old. You runa round and jump on crap, you can try and dress it up anyway you like the core material is going to stay the same. I guess not being a big fan I found less to enjoy in it.

People who aren't fans of RE could say "All you do is shoot zombies" well atleast RE has puzzles going for it, all Mario had was a talking super soaker.

I don't mean to diss on Nintendo, they were the bomb in the SNES days but ever since N64 it seems like they've been declining. Really as cool as the remote is it's just a gimmick and gimmick games are hardly ever good. Wario Ware wasn't good from what I heard, I also heard Trauma Center wasn't much better either, and I heard Red Steel is horrid. but I hear this stuff from customers and co-workers so I'm sure you guys would disagree. I also have never tried it myself, but since video games have slowly been losing my interest in the past year, so I guess my opinion hardly matters.

[Peanut]

What the hell kind of puzzles do you solve in RE? Throwing items together to make a ridiculous key, or pushing a button really fast? Right.

Either way, you're right that Nintendo has been on the decline for awhile, but you can hardly say that anymore. While they may be continuing to free-fall in the console space to actual gamers, they're more popular than ever in the market as a whole.

And you know, you gotta stop basing every single f*cking one of your arguments about video games on the sh*t you learn at Best Buy. No one there knows f*ck all about games, that's why you usually come in here with some ass-backwards sh*t to spew.

But of course, as you said, your opinion really doesn't matter. The Wii and Nintendo are popular right now, you'd better not look like you're too interested in that bandwagon, for fear of ruining your reputation, right?

[Spitfire]

I'm not at all, and I never said Nintendo wasn't popular*In fact I think I proved it was with what I posted earlier about how fast Wii sells* I just said it doesn't interest me, and some people I talk to told me the gimmick games weren't good. I'm talking to the general public here. The average person isn't a gamer who has hardcore convictions to what they play. And not everyone who works at Best Buy is an idiot, if they were it wouldn't be the #1 consumer electronics chain in the world.

And yeah in RE some of the puzzles are tossing items together but there's also math puzzles and ones you can't just memorize because they change everytime. A good example of that is the water sample puzzle in RE 3. Like I said in so many works it's easy to stereotype any game, you stereotype in the fashion of if you don't like it it's crap. Your ego is so huge I'm surprised this message board has enough space to hold it all.

[Peanut]

All I can say is ROALZ. Firstly, don't think I'm defending Nintendo here or anything. Read a few posts back and you can see how worthless I think the Wii is.

Secondly, how many times do I have to say I always have my reasons for disliking something, but I respect what the game does, before guys like you stop saying it's my "ego" getting in the way. And I'm stereotyping by saying the games I don't like are crap? RIGHT! Made perfect sense.

This is why you work at Best Buy.

[愛]

There has never been a math puzzle in Resident Evil. Period. The water sample puzzle? You had to do a little bit of educated guessing, but even so, it's the same puzzle every time you play through the game.

And everyone has an opinion to what they like and what they don't. What seems to be a recurring trait of yours, however, is you don't like what's popular. If it's mainstream, it's not good, because it's overrated or whatever. Hey, you do what you want. Just don't claim to know something about the industry when you don't even delve into all of it.

[Spitfire]

All I can say is ROALZ. Firstly, don't think I'm defending Nintendo here or anything. Read a few posts back and you can see how worthless I think the Wii is.
I didn't think you were, your one of the people who I heard Wario Ware was bad from.

Secondly, how many times do I have to say I always have my reasons for disliking something, but I respect what the game does, before guys like you stop saying it's my "ego" getting in the way.
True but you don't always and often times mock my taste in things, I've seen you say I have a terrible taste in games and movies many times and I doubt you even know what I own, or anything about me other then how I act on this message board. I don't know about you but how I act online hardly reflects how I am in real life. If I was this stupid in real life I'd probably be a danger to myself and others. I get to fanboy-y online and I tend to let myself slip because it's the internet, no hurt feelings, no faces I have to see. I can spew what ever crap out I want and it doesn't do any harm. If I had a bad day I can vent or be a jerk and it doesn't matter because people don't get hurt feelings over the internet.

And I'm stereotyping by saying the games I don't like are crap? RIGHT! Made perfect sense.
No but saying something you don't like is crap simply because you don't like it really isn't fair.

But your someone everyone must take with a grain or two of salt, so I guess that would be why.

This is why you work at Best Buy.
I work at Best Buy because I need money. I don't even work games, or computers, or TVs. I work in the back. I receive crap, lift heavy junk, put stuff into people's cars. A monkey could do my job, but sadly many people view themselves as too "delicate" to do my kind of work so there's me. I just take pride in knowing that I can not only do my job of stocking and such, but I can also do all of their jobs.

Just don't claim to know something about the industry when you don't even delve into all of it.

Now see that makes sense, your right I don't know much, though I used to delve very deep into it. I was a gamer by heart. I played games every waking hour I wasn't forced into school. But those days are over and I guess so is my knowledge of how gaming is now of days.

And I don't hate everything popular either. I bought Casino Royale today and own Gears Of War. I'm just a very very picky person and alot of the time popular stuff doesn't appeal to me because I don't like sameness. While from what it seems the majority of the people who consume love it.

They can watch 4 SAW movies and want another one, even if it's the same. Or they can crave remakes, they've seen the movie but the make over it gets makes it interesting to them. I just don't enjoy that kind of stuff.

I chat games in small portions so if what I say terribly annoys you as much as it seems to then I'm sorry but the best advice I can offer is ignore me. I'm not here to fight anyone or put words in anyones mouth. I'm just here to chat like everyone else.

Check out the new Pokemon. (http://serebii.net/diamondpearl/newpokes.shtml)

Some of them seem ok, but others just seem stupid. The original 151 will always be the best.

[Mecha Cow]

Those were shown ages ago, and they suuuck. There are WAY too many Pokemon already, and it's bad enough that the game's focus on quantity is far greater than quality, but at least get some good designers. I thought the third generation was bad already, but this is just adding insult to injury. Horrible.

Of course, I am part of the problem for still buying this sh*t.

[Peanut]

Those really do look awful. They just don't even seem like Pokemon. When the second set was released for Gold/Silver, there were a bunch in there that already seemed like crap, but there were a bunch that were really neat too, and they fit the Pokemon mold.

I can't comment on the Pokemon in any games past that, because I haven't played them at all. However, I have seen some of them, and they just look so so terrible. On top of that, their names just keep getting worse and worse.

And honestly, after playing Digimon World DS, it became painfully clear where all the bad ass monster designers ended up. Just look at the Omnimon in my avatar. No Pokemon looks that cool.

[ThirdMarioBro]

Pokemon jumped the shark around the time GameCube was born. That is all I am saying. Never liked it anyway. Hated it at one point. Now I just agree to disagree.

Check out the new Pokemon. (http://serebii.net/diamondpearl/newpokes.shtml)
I'm sorry, but I have to ask out of sheer confusion...why the hell are there so many frickin' "Arceus" at the bottom of the page? One is enough, but why did they put in, what, 17? Ridiculous...

[Mecha Cow]

Look at the number. They're all different forms of the same Pokemon. I think it changes type depending on what item it has equipped or something, and apparently the webmaster thought it was neccesary to give each form a seperate entry.

[Ra]

*nods* I see that with the numbers. That kind of lead me to be thinking that there were different colored ones roaming in the grass...

I guess what I should be asking is why the hell are there 17 different versions of the same Pokemon in one game? I guess I'm still a bit peeved off expecting a cool legendary Pokemon at the end of the new listing, like always, but all I got were 17 versions of the same thing. As long as they play a significant part in the story, I will keep my mouth shut, but goddamnit I just have to chuck a hissy fit over this. Hopefully it is like you said, and it changes type occording to what item is equipped... *sighs*

[Mecha Cow]

No no, they're not seperate Pokemon, they're different forms of the same one. The type-changing thing was confirmed - that's not speculation. You can only have one at the same time.

As for the legendaries, I wouldn't worry. If anything, there are too many...Numbers 480-493 are all 'Legendary', effectively rendering the term meaningless.

[Peanut]

I think having 5 separate legendary Pokemon in the first game was enough to render the term worthless, but after all those legendary dogs and birds in G/S, it really became a joke.

Agreed. I didn't mind the G/S ones, but everything after that just sort of collapsed on itself. In my Emerald copy, I haven't bothered getting the "Legendary" Pokemon. The only one I have is Rayquaza, and that's only because I'm a dragon lover. Probably the only good legendary Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald thought up of, IMO.

[Peanut]

I agree with the whole legendary dogs being stupid, but the birds?

Blasphemy! Articuno FTW!

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/it/b/b7/144_Articuno.png

No, I didn't mean the Pokemon themselves were stupid, but that having the 3 birds, plus Mewtwo and Mew in a single game as "legendary" was ridiculous. Then when G/S rolled around, they not only had legendary birds, but also all the stupid legendary dogs, and wasn't Celebi in that one too? I can't really remember. There were more "Legendary" Pokemon than there were Pokemon of a certain type in G/S, I think. Metal or whatever one of the newer types was, which just completely makes the term "Legendary" seem like a joke.

[Mr. Snackpants]

Well I'm veru much looking forward to this game. The new pokemon and the # of legendary pokemon there are don't bother me. I just enjoy the gameplay. Sure, it'd be nice if they didn't pull a 100 new pokemon out of their ass for every new game but I can live with it. I can always go back to good old Blue for my favorites.

Can't...stop...laughing...!!!! The bear! OH WHY!?

[ThirdMarioBro]

But what would be the point? I want to play the sucker for the online rankings. I'm a competitive whore for Tetris Attack, but if I'm just playing a bunch of random connections, and the only thing I have is a dinky win/loss record on my game, that nobody else can see, what the hell is the point in playing competitively? I'd wind up playing a bunch of Japanese kids who use the stylus to scribble and kick their asses with no effort on the D-pad.

I flipped out over the idea of Panel de Pon online and first, then reality set in. I need match making to put me against other people of my skill level, otherwise there is no point. I just as well play the CPU at the highest setting and save on my bandwidth bill.

That is the greatest avatar to ever grace a forum.

What the hell is a bandwidth bill? Do you pay for how much you download/upload? What kind of backwoods crap is that?

Yeah. I'd link to the article, but it's in Dutch. Basically it says it's against their policy to use the Nintendo Community forums to share your Wi-Fi Connection ID, Wii-numbers and Friends Codes. Whatever, Nintendo. Not that it matters because the Nintendo forums suck balls anyway.

Oh, I just saw 300. This is not the thread for it but I do not care. Most badass f*cking movie ever. I want to spit fire. Any man that doesn't like this movie needs to turn in his testicles ASAP.

[discordiatookie]

Today I had to pick up a parcel (full of TMNT comic goodness!!!) from my post office (which is a good half hour walk away, and considering I dont have wheels, I haveta walk!!) So I got up, bright and breezy (at 10.30am hehe) and toddled on my way to the PO. On the way there is a Toys R Us. So I nipped in to see what they had in TMNT figs and whatnot. To get to the TMNT section, you have to walk through the games section. That's where I saw it. One ticket left. One ticket for a Nintendo Wii. Normally there's a sign saying "Sorry, sold out." So I picked it up, (and behind it was the "sorry, sold out" sign) and headed for the register. (But not before picking up a buncha games and a memory card and whatnot!)

Now, me and trying to get a Wii has been a problem. At first I was a day late in getting my pre-order in. D'oh! Then I got offered a Wii from a friend's friend but it was at xmas time and I couldn't afford it at all. I even queued up for one at 4am at the very same TRU store as mentioned above, and still missed one, by only a few people. So I had my doubts. This was too good to be true, after going into each games store weekly and asking if they had any, always getting turned down (they've stopped taking pre-orders and its all first come first serve nowadays!) So I was three-quarters expecting them to tell me that they were sorry, that it was sold out, that I just missed it by 5 minutes.

I should never have doubted. I gave the girl at the counter my ticket and asked if they still had it in, and she said yep, last one. Holy crap my heart was beating!! So I paid for it and went to the pick-up point. I stood there for about ten minutes, scenarios going through my mind where the guy apologises to me, saying that there's been a mistake and they don't have one left, and me going all postal on his ass. But no. I got it! Yay! About frickin' time!!! I then left the shop in a state of delirium, and headed to the post office, got me parcel, and back home. That's when I realised I forgot to check for TMNT figs! D'oh!

I spent a fair few bucks, about £420 or so, but its worth it! I had to start work at 3.00pm, and I very nearly called in sick, but Karen (who's about excited as I am!) pointed out to me that I can't, I now have to pay off the Wii... grr... So here's me, at work, while she's at home playing bloody WarioWare! But I did call in, saying that i'll be a bit late, so to give me some more playing time!!

So what'd I get? Here goes: Wii + Wii Sports, Wii Play + free wiimote, TMNT, WarioWare, Red Steel and Twighlight Princess. A memory card, a GC controller and a classic controller. My broadband isn't wireless but I just ordered a USB device type thingy off th net that'll let me get online, so hopefully some time next week it'll arrive!

Me and Karen had a fun hour or so though, playing tennis and baseball and WarioWare, I just can't wait to get home!!! I'm half expecting to come home to to find her slumped in front of the telly, OD'ed on Wii!!!!!

[Cure]

Today I had to pick up a parcel (full of TMNT comic goodness!!!) from my post office (which is a good half hour walk away, and considering I dont have wheels, I haveta walk!!) So I got up, bright and breezy (at 10.30am hehe) and toddled on my way to the PO. On the way there is a Toys R Us. So I nipped in to see what they had in TMNT figs and whatnot. To get to the TMNT section, you have to walk through the games section. That's where I saw it. One ticket left. One ticket for a Nintendo Wii. Normally there's a sign saying "Sorry, sold out." So I picked it up, (and behind it was the "sorry, sold out" sign) and headed for the register. (But not before picking up a buncha games and a memory card and whatnot!)

Now, me and trying to get a Wii has been a problem. At first I was a day late in getting my pre-order in. D'oh! Then I got offered a Wii from a friend's friend but it was at xmas time and I couldn't afford it at all. I even queued up for one at 4am at the very same TRU store as mentioned above, and still missed one, by only a few people. So I had my doubts. This was too good to be true, after going into each games store weekly and asking if they had any, always getting turned down (they've stopped taking pre-orders and its all first come first serve nowadays!) So I was three-quarters expecting them to tell me that they were sorry, that it was sold out, that I just missed it by 5 minutes.

I should never have doubted. I gave the girl at the counter my ticket and asked if they still had it in, and she said yep, last one. Holy crap my heart was beating!! So I paid for it and went to the pick-up point. I stood there for about ten minutes, scenarios going through my mind where the guy apologises to me, saying that there's been a mistake and they don't have one left, and me going all postal on his ass. But no. I got it! Yay! About frickin' time!!! I then left the shop in a state of delirium, and headed to the post office, got me parcel, and back home. That's when I realised I forgot to check for TMNT figs! D'oh!

Double post, but for good reason.

Apparently, Katamari (http://gonintendo.com/?p=15117) is coming to Wii. This would be all good and dandy because I had that game when I had my PS2 and liked, not loved, it a lot. So if a new comes to Wii, cool. But something deep in my gut is telling me it's a "Wii-make" of the original for PS2. :|

[Peanut]

Namco doesn't strike me as one to make a hash-port of such a great franchise. That being said, it's also been pretty much confirmed to be called Beautiful Katamari, and is, in fact, a brand new Katamari game.

I <3 Katamari, much like the sequel suggested, so this is great news. I love the one level in the 2nd game where you start off picking up very tiny stuff, then graduate, in the end, to picking up entire mountains, clouds, and eventually even God himself. I don't think I've laughed harder at any game than when I rolled up God into my Katamari!

I'll probably go for the next-gen versions over the Wii version. I can't wait to be able to use The King of All Cosmos as my XBL Gamerpic!

Yeah, that's what I keep telling myself, but remember, UbiSoft took Prince of Persia: Two Thrones, added Wii controls, and renamed it Prince of Persia: Rival Swords. But again, that was UbiSoft, and this is Namco. So hopefully you're right and I'm wrong.

Goodness gracious. More NiGHTS (http://gonintendo.com/?p=15162) stuff. This time, it's on the cover of a foreign language magazine. But they don't state what platform it's for AND, the original creator has said that he's not working on sequel. They could be working on it without him, but you know, just sayin'.

[ThirdMarioBro]

The child in me wants to scream "FU*K YEAH". The old fart me in wants to scream "LOLZ".

So regardless, this confirms Sonic in Brawl. How do I know? The game is made by Sega. Its a trade-off. Sega gets to make a game featuring Sonic & Mario, and then Nintendo gets to make a game featuring Mario and Sonic. Sega has made deals like this before.

Sonic's day may have passed, and Mario may be fatter and have cameltoe, but you know what? I don't care. Any child of the 80/90's has been waiting on this year for 16 years now.


This has been a hell of a week for the week before April Fool's day. Absoultely amazing.

[ThirdMarioBro]

Well, think of it this way. In 2001, EGM made us all hate them by claiming we could unlock Sonic in Smash Bros. Melee by beating Cruel Melee. That resulted in six years of bitching from fans until it led up to what has begun today.

Nintendo and Square have a good relationship now. Maybe after a few years of bitching, it will happen thanks to this April Fool's day joke. Hell, Mario and Sonic in a game, and NiGHTS 2 on the same freaking day?


Just give it time and fan bitching. Anything is possible now.

Pretty nice.

[Mr. Snackpants]

Just a question to anyone who may know...

...Black and White DS...which one shows the scratches more?

I've seen White DS at places like EBgames and it didn't look like the scratches showed that much. I've never seen a black one in person.

[Ra]

Hm, personally, I would go with black. But that shows scratches more from personal experience with black colored objects. If you want things that don't show up the scratches, pick the white. It shouldn't show up the scratches as much, at least.

Then again, if you can't decide, you could always get a pink one... :evilgrin:

Hopefully Chronicles blows my mind away, but I'm not even gonna bother with the RE4 remake. Things like that are really pissin' me off about how developers look at the Wii.

[Barkworm]

To add insult to injury, it's ON RAILS. Are people even trying to make a decent Wii game?

[Mecha Cow]

Yeah, seriously. Developers keep ranting about how great the Wii is, but they're certainly not putting their money where their collective mouth is.

And you, Nintendo: Go make some games for your own damn system already. Hell, make that systems. The DS needs love too.

[Peanut]

It'll be great when RE4 comes out for Wii, and it looks worse than the PS2 version.

[ThirdMarioBro]

Okay, so Capcom games for the Wii can be written off my "gives a damn" list now.

Seriously, this is pissing me off, and causing me to loose faith that any quality third party games are coming. I had a sinking feeling when Ubisoft started remaking last-gen PoP games and ignorant people actually bought it. Now that it sold, Capcom appears to have smelled "cash-in" hovering in the air. The best we can get is a port of a game that isn't even two years old? For fu*ks sake, I am not buying that garbage, and I'm sure as hell not paying a goddamned dime for a new RE shooter. I still remember the last piece of sh*t RE shooter they made for PS2. No thanks.


The next step (and last straw) is for Nintendo to start inevitably cranking out Wii ports of Mario Sunshine and Wind Waker with waggle stick support to sell to all the non-gamers and sucker fanboys. You can quote me, because every cell in my body feels it coming. Hell, the only good Wii games we've gotten thus far have been ported from late-gen GameCube development. A Mario and a Metroid once a generation aren't going to cut it. Not anymore.

This fan abuse is starting to reach it's limits. Looks like the Wii really is a piece of ****.

[愛]

Wii isn't a piece of sh*t, because it has the potential to be fun! It's just developers aren't coming up with any good ideas! I don't really blame them, though, because it seems the only developer that has a good vision of what makes Wii different from anything we've ever seen before is Nintendo themselves.

But seriously, RE4 on Wii? Way to rehash games. It'll probably look the same as GameCube's version. Wii has better hardware than GameCube, after all. I just don't expect it to look like something that would look on a 360.

[Cure]

At least Metroid hasn't been pushed to 2008 (http://wii.advancedmn.com/article.php?artid=9360) like we all thought.

[Peanut]

No, the Wii is a piece of sh*t. A huge piece of sh*t. And RE4 will look worse than the PS2 version. I don't care what anyone says, every single port for the Wii looks like balls. Anyone who's played any of the ported Wii games can attest to the fact that it's being raped by third-parties. The thing is more powerful than an Xbox, yet I haven't seen one game that comes even close to matching that kind of power. My guess is Galaxy will be the first one to do it.

And as for the Gamecube remakes with waggle, Shiggy already said they'd be doing that in an interview months ago, so you can look forward to that bullsh*t, too.

The Wii is the Gamecube all over again. It'll get one or two great first-party games a year, and for the rest of the time it'll be collecting dust.

[Ra]

^^ Agreed on all points. I remember that the Gamecube had a similar hype about it when it first came out. I only wanted it for "Super Smash Brothers Melee", but my parents wouldn't get it. Good thing, too. SSBM would probably be the only game I would have played on that thing.

I feel like PC from the Mac-PC commercials...

"You are coming to a sad realization, cancel or allow?"

Because I'm finally able to admit how bad the Wii really is. It had me hooked on the greatness of Wii Sports for a couple months, that's what basically sold me on how fun the Wii can be. I bought almost every Wii game and turned around and put it on eBay a week later. Its sad when the best game you have came packaged with the system. Im pretty sure I will only purchase 3 games this year, SPM, SMG, and SSBB. That's all...in a whole year. I'm tired of reading news about all the ports that are coming. The only reason my Wii is seeing ay action is because of the VC. So basically I blew $250 to play games that are like, what, 10-20 years old?

I agree...what a load of ****.

[Cure]

There's just no use in trying to defend the Wii anymore. I thought that Nintendo would've learned from the mistakes of the past TWO generations, but it's not likely. A shame really. The Wii has got so much potential to be great. Kinda like what Peanut has been saying about the PSP........

Well, let's see. This year we've gotten Wario Ware. That was from Intelligent Systems. Then we got Super Paper Mario. Who made that? Oh yeah, Intelligent Systems. Next up is Fire Emblem. Guess who? Intelligent Systems. It's like they are the only team at Nintendo who does a goddamned thing anymore. EAD doesn't put out sh*t. Wii Sports was a collection of training projects they compiled together and polished for retail. Sounds familiar....Mario Sunshine. Yep. Third parties put out garbage, ports, remakes, and GameCube Wii-makes when the damn original is already playable on Wii. I was dinking around with RE4 not two days ago.

Intelligent Systems is basically the only reason my Wii is still hooked up. We'll get Mario this year. Other than that, I see everything else getting delayed to 2008, and then pushed to Fall of that year.


Wii is a piece of sh*t. So much potential being wasted on cash-in, and laziness. It's almost like the PSP. Not quite, but almost.

[Barkworm]

And even Intelligent Systems doesn't even try to push the hardware.

[GK Punk]

So are we going to HAVE to use that remote to play Metroid Prime 3? Or will there be an option to use the regular controller? The idea of holding my arm up for several hours while playing Metroid really kinda turns me off.

And I love all Metroid games.

[Barkworm]

Yeah, you'll have to use the Wiimote.

[Shark]

I'm sick of defending the damn system. Wii Sports, TMNT, Super Swing Golf, sometimes Twilight Princess, not one Wii game I played had even decent controls (although Twilight Princess was the best I've played so far, it still had it's bad points, mainly climbing up walls and vines). That settles it. No more Wii games for me. I'm saveing up for 360 now. After that, PS3. Only weason I'm not selling the Wii is for SSBB and NiGHTS.

[ThirdMarioBro]

I don't care if Intelligent Systems pushes the hardware. I just want good (and "new" doesn't hurt either) games, and they deliver there. Pure Nintendo fun.

And there is nothing wrong with Twilight Princess's controls that hasn't been wrong since Ocarina. Vine climbing has sucked in Zelda games since they went 3D.

You won't get tired. Any Wii game where you do a ton of pointing, like Zelda or WarioWare, you can just lay your hand on your leg like you'd do playing a normal game. There won't be any need to hold you arm up.

I'd personally be more worried with the fact that Metroid is terrible. Ba-zing!

[GK Punk]

The Prime games weren't exactly the best in the series. I did like them but I generally dislike FPS style games.

And the way everyone talks about the Wii they make it sound like you have to actually hole the remote up towards the screen. Now MP3 better be worth purchasing a Wii for.

[愛]

When I rolled through Twilight Princess on the Wii, I played it laying down. You don't have to hold it up at all.

[Cure]

Yeah, you can be pretty relaxed while playing the wii.

Anyway, external storage media has been confirmed (http://www.esol.co.jp/english/company/press/emb_press070404.html) for wii in a new press release. I'm not sure if it's a HDD or what, but I'm pretty sure it uses the USB.

[R-iZZy]

^ Yeah, it's basically USB drives. Expect a firmware update for the Wii to allow this.

I'm amazed so many people are disowning the Wii. It's definitely a step in the right direction. Sure, it's not exactly perfected yet, but it's a broad jump into video game evolution. I still don't own one for myself, but my best friend owns one, and he practically lets me use it any time I want. Playing Godfather was great. I dunno, maybe I have a thing for strangling people, and the fact that I can sorta releastically do it was an exhilerating experience for me.

I loved playing Twilight Princess with the Wii. I agree on the vine-climbing being a total b*tch, but meh... it's been that way since Ocarina of Time. I'll admit, this thing is basically a GameCube with new controls, and they could've perhaps did a little improvement on graphics, but it's still early in the game. It took even the 360 a little while for the good games to come out. I'll give the Wii until it's reached its one-year anniversary.

And props to whoever posted the Metroid Prime 3 release update. I was gonna do it, but arrived a little late. I love the series! It might be because I love FPS's. But for one of the few (or only?) FPS's on Nintendo, it's top-notch! Hopefully, Nintendo can develop more FPS's with a more mature theme.

And I hope Nintendo gives people the option to use the classic controller for all games, just in case they don't feel like dealing with the Wii-mote.

[Cure]

Don't hold your breath for that one.

[GK Punk]

That article says hat Echoes didn't sell as well as Prime, I think I could tell them why. They strayed too far from the Metroid formula by adding so much. Prime felt like an FPS Super Metroid, Echoes felt like Metroid 2099: The Next Generation.

The game was still fun, just certain things about it wasn't as good as Prime.

[ThirdMarioBro]

It just didn't feel like a Metroid at all. The setting didn't set well with me. That and the galactic federation made it look like they were pretending to be Halo. It was just annoying, because the original hit me so hard, I called it game of the generation. Better than RE4. Yeah, I went there. Better than Wind Waker too.

Metroid Prime looked, smelled, played, and felt like Super Metroid in first person. Only thing that was sub-perfect was the music. Too much electronic, not enough organic. Even so, it was still great music. It just didn't fit well.

Echoes strayed too far from the formula, gameplay, and setting. Hopefully these delays for MP3 were to make the game feel as fresh and honest as the original Prime, and not to waste our lives including multiplayer--the one thing no Metroid game should ever have.


And mass storage on Wii can only mean two things.....demos and Saturn games. Either one for the total win.

[ThirdMarioBro]

http://www.advancedmn.com/article.php?artid=9556

The Gametap service just got Sega Saturn titles. That means emulation for Saturn is alive and apparently very well. The odds of that stuff hitting the VC just skyrocketed.

[Dr. Doom]

I loved the music in Prime, it really helped add to the overall feeling the game gave off, the overwhelming ambience that made the whole experiance so remarkable in my opinion.

[ThirdMarioBro]

So, after looking for one since 2003, I finally found an F-Zero AX cabinet (the deluxe model baby) and blew $25 on it. Greatest arcade game ever, period. So, after tearing myself away from the GameCube's analog stick, I was able to adjust to the steering wheel. I can see now how an F-Zero game could work on Wii if you were using the Wiimote as a steering wheel (and that $5 Ubisoft steering wheel shell works wonders with Excite Truck), though I still question the lag in the controls.

So, yeah. It could work, but I still don't want a half-assed farm out project. After the production values Sega poured into GX/AX, I'll never accept anything less again. Yeah, I know. It's not going to happen, and if it did, the game would go to Suzak or some other crap-ass farm out team.

It's nice to dream though. Okay, here's a realistic thought. Nintendo is likely going to waste resources for the next five years porting GameCube games to Wii with waggle controls to milk their brainless fanboys for every dime they are worth while preaching the innovation line. Face it. We all know it's going to happen, and I hate the bastards for it whole heartedly. Still, I would buy a Wii-make of GX with online play. I feel like a dirty whore saying it, but I would. That's the only damned one though. That probably wouldn't happen either because it was developed by Sega. The best F-Zero game we'll probably see from here is so cheapo' DS game with N64 graphics and that bad anime artwork. Count me out in that case. :(

Oh well, life moves on. Sorry for the rant, but I've been hearing rumors through various channels.

[Peanut]

F-Zero is awful. And you'd buy every damn port they push out, don't lie!

[Dr. Doom]

I always though F-Zero was fun in small doses.I could never play it for too long or it got stale. I haven't played anything since GX came out and I was massively disappointed in it because of what they did to the music.

[ThirdMarioBro]

F-Zero is awful. And you'd buy every damn port they push out, don't lie!

With God as my witness, NO.

I have no interest (and time/money) in playing games that are already in my collection. Porting old 16-bit games down to an inferior portable was one thing, but porting old GCN games up to a more powerful console with no additions except wonky controls? No thanks.

[Dr. Doom]

I find it kinda strange that Luigi is apparently a playable character in Super Paper Mario, but I can't find a single screen with him in it....plenty of screens of Mario, Bowser and Peach, but no Luigi.

[Peanut]

First of all, those are SPOILARS for anyone who hasn't played the game yet, douche.

Secondly, he's totally in it. He's actually built up a TON in this game, which is totally f*cking awesome, because Luigi rocks. This was one of the big secrets Nintendo was trying to keep under wraps about this game, pre-release. Hence why no one has grabbed any screen shots of it. Rest assured, he's in there.

[Dr. Doom]

You can thank Gamespot for that, assface.

RE4 is a polished version of the GC version, with new controls (duh) and the PS2 extras. You can watch the video, the graphics , unlike what peanut said about being worse than PS2, are pretty alright, if not better, deffinately on par with GC.

As for UC? It's a rail shooter, we knew that. They said they used the same graphic engine used for the REmake. Looks alright, smooth and so on. But it is just a Resident Evil version of House of the Dead. Although, like it was said to be, it does cover 0,1,2,3 and possibly Code Veronica. And Who doesn't want to see parts and characters from RE2 and RE3 get a face lift? Imagine a graphically pleasing Nemesis, and Claire, and Birkin monster.

[ThirdMarioBro]

I did read that just about everything is destructible (eg: shooting a chandelier to make it fall on a crowd of zombies). It could be fun. I'll hold out judgment for now.

[愛]

The aiming was really awkward in the other versions. It had quite the learning curve to become accurate. The Wii version seems to be much better as long as you don't have shaky hands like I do. I'd like to see this in action.

[Brodie]

Aka, Micheal J Fox shouldn't have purchased a Wii?


ZING.

[愛]

Precisely!

My shaky hand thing really sucks. I blame drinking so much caffeine my whole life. Terrible nerves. I'll never be a sniper. :(

[Brodie]

Well, you could be....But you just wouldn't be good at it.

But look at it this way, You'll always be better than MJFox. And better than my dead uncle Jacob. Because he's dead. And he tried to play 'Hide The Matchbox' my brother. So, it's good he's dead.

LOLZ! I keep seeing that same scene in other shows. I saw it on South Park last night while trying to fall asleep. I nearly died, and I don't know why. The ultimate scene in any movie.

[Barkworm]

All the parodies of that particular scene are already getting old (the South Park one was pretty awful) but this was one was just too good.

[Mecha Cow]

No, damn it. We don't post VGCats, ever. Especially not a tired 300 parody. That being said this is one of the 'better' ones, in the same way that being punched in the stomach is better than getting kicked in the balls.

[Barkworm]

Come on, VGCats has a good strip once in a while! It doesn't happen very often though.

[Dr. Doom]

I think it's had a large amount of good strips. Scott is really good with exaggerated, cartoonish facial expressions and that adds a lot to it.

Sonic Rush sequel confirmed. (http://gonintendo.com/?p=16285)

Sonic Rush was fun for a little bit, but I ended up never finishing it.

[ThirdMarioBro]

I've come to the decision that Super Paper Mario is the funniest game I've ever played.

"I Love going on message boards and complaining about games I've never played!"

Yeah, greatest script ever.

[Dr. Doom]

Thanks for ruining the joke.

[Peanut]

Thanks for ruining the joke.

That joke has been quoted anywhere where the game has been discussed. From reviews to message boards. It can hardly be ruined now.

[Dr. Doom]

Considering I had never seen it and this was the only place I was discussing the game, it was.

[愛]

ZOMG SPOILARZ!!!

Come on. It's dialog. It's not even a plot spoiler.

[Brodie]

He's just still angry about the Kettle and black comment.

Luigi was a playable character?

'nuff said.

[Peanut]

Crash is an endearing character, he just isn't put into very many good games. Twinsanity was a step in the right direction, though, so let's hope they can keep moving forward with the series.

As for the new look...ehhhh. I really liked the cartoony style they went with in the last game, but I guess they didn't. Not sure what's up with this stupid black stripes...

[Ra]

...why do I have a sense of impending doom upon me? It's kind of reminding me of the fall of Spyro, for some reason. Great graphics, bad everything else. Hopefully the new Crash game will be good enough to put my poor mind at ease

Not sure what's up with this stupid black stripes...
Maybe they are tattoos? They kind of look like tattoos to me... *scratches her head*

[Mecha Cow]

They are tribal tattoos. Which is kind of pushing it. That aside the 'new look' isn't that radical of a departure though.

[LogicDonny]

i really hope metroid prime 3 is much better than the 2nd one.. the key collecting quest in that game was annoying in fact it was the only thing to drag the game down.

unlike in metroid prime 1, you can find the artifacts as you play and dont' have to get them till the last moment.. that was fun.

[Mecha Cow]

Man, I finished Hotel Dusk last night. What an awesome game, best one on DS for sure. I've never been so sad to finish a game though. Sequel please (Even if it doesn't really need one storywise)!

One thing though:
Did they ever explain who stole Iris' envelope? Didn't catch that.

[LogicDonny]

Elite beat agents deserve more of a sequal than this game.. Serious I like Hotel Dusk but EBA rocks the house!

[Mecha Cow]

Yes, but no-one mentioned EBA.

[Mr. Snackpants]

And EBA might be on of the most overrated games, imo. I played it because of all the talk I was hearing about it and I could barely make it through my 2nd song. That's how long it held my attention.

[愛]

Don't you like Guitar Hero? Are you some kind of terrorist?

[Brodie]

I don't like Guitar Hero....But I'm no terrorist... I love apple pie... And Mario... And AMERICAN cheese.

I'm a fan of apple pie, as well. And chocolate cake. And long walks on the beach, discussing feelings.

[Mr. Snackpants]

Don't you like Guitar Hero? Are you some kind of terrorist?

Who, me?

Ya I do, I love it. I found EBA to be silly and stupid. The songs were boring as hell and the sound quality was crappy. I thought I would like it because it sounded like a portable GH in a way....not even close. I guess I don't understand why so many people love it.

[Dinny]

Don't worry, LogicDonny can give you a rational, reasonable and most importantly comprehendable reason to explain why everyone who doesn't like EBA isn't a "hardcore gamer".

[LogicDonny]

Well EBA has that feeling that makes it awesome.. I dont really have anything to say but there will always be 2 sides of 1 coin.. one side will hate something and the other will love it. I am on the loving side. I love playing any of those DDR style games weither it's on the console like guitar hero or DDR or even on the ds/psp with games like elite beat agents or guitaroo man lives! for hte psp or heck DJ MAX portable.

I am thinking of getting Guitar Hero 2 for xbox 360 but the price is expensive. 100 bucks.. Still it's worth it.

Mr. Snackpants, it's the greatness of the game.. HEEEEEEEEEEEEELP! 3 dancing agents come and help you by dancing to the beat and they wear suits.. Ever seen an agent dance in real life via that? Nope.. It's one of those games that really makes it worthwhile..

[Mr. Snackpants]

That's one of the big turn offs for me. These "agents" get a call for help and they go and dance to a ****** song. Wtf? I normally like wierd/quirky stuff, but it's just soooo lame. I guess it's not for me...because I just don't get it. But obviously you find it hilarious and awesome, so that's cool.

[ThirdMarioBro]

I liked it at first, then the shock wore off. Bad covers of American pop music + anime dudes dancing. No thanks.

[LogicDonny]

ok I am glad you guys have a great opinion.. I understand.

So tell me about Guitar hero.. what's good about it that you love about it?

[Jed]

It's fun, especially on co-op. It can be challenging too, which is great. I kinda broke my whammy bar a little bit during a drunken GH2 session which isn't so good. That's pretty much it!

[Peanut]

Yeah, I was playing drunken GH at a party on Saturday. It pretty much made the party. There's no arguing with the greatness that is GH. And luckily my guitar came through it without any problems.

[LogicDonny]

wow that's awesoeme. ya I hear that RedOctane the makers of the guitar controller is republishing a new controller becuase of the old one with the bad whammy problem?

[Peanut]

Some people with a certain model number of the 360 guitars had some problems, so they recalled all those models. I had one of them, but have never had a problem, it was probably just a single batch.

[Jed]

It turned out to be the software that was the problem. In the first game you could strum the note a little too early and whammy straight away and get a huge star power bonus so they made some code for the second one to try and stop that happening but they went a little overboard. I had a messed up whammy bar myself and the update fixed it, then when I played on my friend's 360 without the update the problem was back. That's how I broke it, in my drunken state I went a little too hard on the whammy to try to get it to work.

[LogicDonny]

I also heard that the update bricks the 360 as well. there's 2 sides of the story but maybe 35% of the 360's might break down.

[LogicDonny]

It pretty much knows Nintendo is doing well but you want some great news..

http://www.gamespot.com/news/6169748.html

Looks like the king of the videogames has taken over once again with a huge boost in sales.

[ThirdMarioBro]

Hold the phone bitchez. Nintendo just bought out a developer.

http://ir.nikkei.co.jp/irftp/data/tdnr2/home/oracle/140/2007/241b063/241b0630.pdf

To sum up the Japanese text, Nintendo Buys Monolith Software from Namco: the developers that brought you Baten Kaitos, Xenosaga, Shining Force, and so much more. JRPGs to Wii? You bet'cha. They're now fully first party with EAD, Intelligent Systems, NST, and Retro.


Yeah, I know. Weird as hell. Fairly aggressive move by Nintendo.

[Mecha Cow]

Huh. Didn't see that coming. Not a big fan of fruity RPG's myself, but more exclusives is always nice.

[LogicDonny]

:D Awesome! I have no words. I was shocked saying no "F**king way* I love the games they put out back on the ps2 and etc and this happens.. Great move Nintendo.

Now get square completely back :lol: :lol: wait that's won't happen.

Square <3's the DS anyway.

Fruity RPG's? You mother fu----oh wait, you're right. They are fruity.

Baten Kaitos was kinda cool. Didn't own it but I saw it played at a friend's house. It looked pretty fun.

Note to Wii owners : if those need some rpgs, pick up Baten Kaitos 1+2 for gamecube because they can be pretty cheap to find now.

[LogicDonny]

Is there plans for a bigger HDD for the wii and will Sega put dreamcast games on the wii VC? that would rock.. I would love to play the original Shenmue considering I own the 2nd one for the Xbox.

I only watched the dvd on the xbox version which is a seperate disc.

[GK Punk]

Just pick up a used DC. You can find them, and the games pretty cheap usually.

[ThirdMarioBro]

Yeah, it would be best to find a Dreamcast while they can still be easily found. It's rather recent, but I'm noticing that old-school consoles are becoming more and more rare in the wild. I haven't seen an NES in a flea market in a long time, and most of the local used shops dropped support for 32-bit and earlier a long time ago. Kind of sad really.

I doubt they'll put more memory into the Wii, you can already use SD cards in it (and they go up to 4GB now, I think) and the size of the stuff you can download is very small in comparison to the 360 and PS3 anyway.

[LogicDonny]

ugh.. Frontloader NES!

there is no frontloader snes.. I would love a top loader nes.. it performs the same as a frontloader but easier to load.

[ThirdMarioBro]

Not really. Those damn top-loading NES's are overrated. The cartridges stick in those things too tight. It will rub the copper right off your cartridge connector pins trying to pry the games in and out often. Also, they don't have component video out so the picture will look like garbage. You are far better just getting an old toaster oven NES, replacing the 72-pin connector, and using that. Better picture, and with new pins, far superior reliability.

Yes for years I been wanting to do that but I kinda dont play my nes that much.. Maybe I can sell it after getting new Pin connectors sell it for 60 bucks with all the games I got. I only have a few handfuls.. Nothing rare.

I just popped open my Nintendo Power this month and found that they pulled Spiderman 3 as the cover story for NiGHTS 2. That's like only the second time in 19 years they've pulled a cover story for a surprise.

Also, they revealed that Planet Puzzle League for DS will indeed have D-Pad control options for old cranks like myself who think their thumbs can destroy n00b kids & non-gamers and their stylus ridden gameplay.

Silly rabbit. Tricks are for kids. Puzzle games are for adults with quick wit and lightening reflexes. Go play in your sandbox. I'm importing the Japanese version just to give myself an extra month of warm-up before I go for the US leaderboards. There is this guy in Oregon I know from a tournament 7 years ago who can pull x27 chains out of his ass every 90 seconds or so. That's the skill rank I'll be playing in. If you can handle that, then by all means bring it on. Otherwise, back to the sandbox.
