For real, Reggie? You REALLY think this new vitality sensor, which soooo many have ditched (and with reason), will be as big as Wii Fit? Let's see if the guy is right.
If I told you that you would be standing on an oversized bathroom scale, and having fun doing it, you probably would have said, 'Reggie, I don't get it.' And yet here we are with the balance board arguably as the third largest development platform across the globe. All I can tell you is, with the game developers that we have, we will bring forth an experience that you will say, 'Wow, I get it'. Until you have that software, it's tough to understand. - Reggie Fils Aime
I don't know about you, but I'm tired of small, expensive peripherals that do nearly nothing and are only used in a handful of games (zapper, DS walk sensor, Wii wheel, any Wii Sports plastic add-on...). Do you agree with Reginald on this one? I don't.
In an interview with NowGamer, Capcom producer Masachika Kawata teased the possibility of a Wii edition of Resident Evil 5. However, he does ditch the idea first.
Hypothetically speaking, the Resident Evil 4 engine would work perfectly for replicating the gameplay but we would never be able to recreate the graphical quality. A gun shooting game like Darkside Chronicles makes much more sense for Wii so, in short, Resident Evil 5 Wii Edition isn't likely to happen. Having said that, Cavia [the developer] has surprised us with the quality of graphics in Darkside Chronicles, so it may actually be possible after all…"
Way back in 1987 and amid the hype caused by a certain plumber, a winged kid made its debut. Now, the franchise enjoys a cult following and it is one of the most awaited IPs on the Wii. We are referring to, of course, Kid Icarus.
However, and as you might have noticed, the game has been taunted at and promised for many E3, and this last iteration it wasn't even mentioned at all. Nintendo Power also noticed this and asked Miyamoto about it. Here's what he had to say.
Wait, please. I'm really surprised how popular that is. But you are the first person to ask at this E3!
So, wait. Again. Some more. Maybe next year he'll come up with a drawing of the game (oh, snap!) ¬.¬
Did you like No More Heroes, one of the 'hardcore' pioneers on the Wii? Are you desperately struggling to keep yourself together until No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle comes out? Well, we hope you really enjoy Suda's second installment on the series, for it is the last one to show up on Wii. Ever.
According to an IGN interview, Goichi Suda has made it quite clear that he has every intention of making the No More Heroes franchise a big one... he just has no intention on doing so on the Wii.
I really want to make NMH big franchise, and with this second episode have bigger success. I'm putting a lot of care into developing this IP, as I feel there's a lot of potential. I think this is the last NMH that is going to be developed on Wii. To expand NMH to new possibilities, we need a new platform. Wii is a great platform, but we've done everything we can with it now- Goichi Suda
New video footage direct from Japan Expo. Sit tight and look for the special character near the end! Read more for detailed info on the game. As a side note, there is suspicion of a RE3 remake for Wii. I just e-mailed Capcom about it; stay tuned for the reply when that happens.
The tennis season is in full swing, and those unable (or, as in my case, not fit enough) to get out and hit a few balls around, can turn to their consoles for their tennis fix. Virtua Tennis 2009 is the latest iteration of the arcade classic to hit home consoles, and the Wii version takes full advantage of Nintendo's new MotionPlus feature. The prospect of 1:1 responsive gameplay and playing with Ana Ivanovic was more than enough reason for N+ to see what VT2009 can serve up.
I'm not posting them here because, well, these codes supposedly shouldn't be wandering around online (yeah, right!). The thing is, if you already own The Conduit and you didn't pre-order it, you noticed the three unlockable codes to be input into the game's extras and felt left out.
One of them unlocks a special edition ASE (announced as the GameStop pre-order bonus). A second code unlocks the ability to play as a suited Trust agent in the multi-player mode. A third one would unlock a Drone 'skin' for the single player campaign, allowing you to play as a Drone, whilst not affecting gameplay (that means you don't get special powers, just the ugly skin).
However, the third code was supposed to be launched with the pre-orders in Europe, and as you might remember, the game was pushed back on that region. So, the third code is still not officially released. But that hasn't kept Nintendo World Report from uncovering the 'secret' code and releasing it, alongside the other two which have been widely available throughout the Net by now.
Click here if you want the codes. Remember, they ARE case sensitive!
The gaming industry was abuzz at this year's E3, with news of Microsoft's Project Natal and its promise to deliver gaming without having to touch a controller. Just two weeks after E3, though, Sega and developer Prope beat Microsoft to the punch with the release of Let's Tap, an innovative Wii game controlled entirely by tapping one's fingers. An interesting idea, to be sure, but how does it play? Read on to find out.
I don't know about you, but I think those alien tentacles are soooo in for a sexual harassment lawsuit... This is what the box will look like on the shelves once the game comes out.
Screaming chick, annoyed dude (more than glad to let those fangy, alien tentacles finally shut her up), and a triple-laser gun. They should have added some rails on it... (Oh, snap!)
See what I did there? Friend of the Conduit? FC? Ummm... OK... ¬.¬
If you already got The Conduit (or are going to get it at some point in time) you ARE going to play online. For that, it sometimes helps to have friends to share the slaughtering experience with. So, we've opened a thread on the Forums for us to post our FCs and try to arrange our busy schedules, world time differences, and whatnots to maybe get together online.
So go ahead to this thread and leave your The Conduit FC. I've already left mine if anyone wants to add me.
Watch this guy demo Motion Plus with Wii Sports Resort; the funniest part is at the end, when he shows you just how to NOT be a good sportsman in Table Tennis.
Just when you thought the Metroid Prime Trilogy couldn't get any more awesome, GameStop goes and announces an exclusive pre-order bonus - a Metroid themed T-shirt! Available to both online and in-store customers, the Metroid Prime Trilogy T-shirt will be free to anyone who pre-orders Metroid Prime Trilogy at GameStop, and will be available at time of pick-up.
Let's get this straight: for only $50 USD, you get three awesome games with Wii controls, 16:9 and 480p graphics, a metal collector's tin, an artbook, and now, a free T-shirt. Best deal in gaming ever?
Bit.Trip Core, the brain melting sequel to Bit.Trip Beat, has long been confirmed to have a release date of "Summer 2009." When exactly in Summer was always a mystery, leaving fans of the Bit.Trip franchise to cluelessly wait for the next time they could get their hands on a mind-blowingly hard game from Gaijin Games. That wait will soon be over, as Gaijin Games plans to release Bit.Trip Core on WiiWare on July 6, 2009.
Yesterday, Gaijin Games posted a teaser image (seen right) on their blog, which stated "7 + 6 + 9 = 100", which, as a mathematical equation, is completely flawed. Fans correctly guessed that "7 + 6 + 9" referred to a release date of July 6, but had no idea what the "= 100" line meant. As it turns out, Bit.Trip Core will be the 100th title released on the WiiWare service. Nintendo often reserves such milestones for major first-party releases, so it's good to see a cool third party title get some preferential treatment.
I wasn't gonna make a post about the ongoing debate between Transformers' stars Megan Fox and Shia LaBeouf and what they told WhatTheyPlay.com during separate interviews beacause, well, who cares? Apparently, A LOT of people care... So, here it is (along a cute pic of the girl )
First, we had Shia claiming that albeit his injured hand, he still plays videogames, but considers the Wii to be a non-gamers console, claiming that if you want a real gamer to play with you should ask him/her if he/she owns a Wii; according to LaBeouf, should they say 'yes', then you should run.
Miss Fox, on the other hand, being way sexier than the former Disney goof, claims that she is a gamer herself (yeah, right!) and she loves the Wii.
I'm totally a fan of the Wii, I'm just not good at it.
Megan also says that she loves all LEGO related games, and here's a tip for you gals: she plays WiiFit. Her hot looks' secret? Maybe...
Remember that game many are waiting for? You know, the one where Nintendo will cram two Game-Cube remakes (with enhanced controls) and the latest Wii installment to compile the Metroid Prime trilogy? Well, the game is soon to be available... and the boxart is here to prove it.
I+ is a group for those that are interested in, developing and curious about discussing independent media such as games, music, movies, literature, and everything else in between.
This is what the box will look like on the shelves once the game comes out.
