Done with the updates for Tuesday. Banjo Tooie looks cool-ish.
Edge squeezed his nipples in excitement when Banjo Kazooie was released on XBLA, he's probably equally excited for this one. I never got into those because I never owned a 64.
Since I'm bored I will comment on the IGN podcast stuff.

IGN Nintendo Voice chat summary courtest of Milabrega GAF
December NPD: -DeBlob sold 250,000 Not bad, hope its done well worldwide, a sequel would be good, but there has to be more than just new environments to it. It needs a new gimmick to add to it. -Shaun White 450,000
Indy Trailer Wii: -Broke on Youtube -The Wii and DS games have been finished for a while according to Matt’s Editor I have a bad feeling about this game. It seems that Lucasarts has whored it out to a bad developer. No screens, no gameplay video, releae in a couple of months. Uh oh. And where the **** is the Euphoria game? TMNT Smash Up: -“Saw some people on the Gaf thread bitching about it” Rightly so, I hate the design of the characters.
Winter: -2 Years ago, 12 guys 6 weeks.
-“People who said it looks like a PSX game are idiots” -10,000 signatures for one of the petitions, many fans sites picked up the story Petitioning for this game is stupid, its a concept that would take another couple of years in development to realise by a bad developer and it looks weak to begin with. If you want to petition, do a general petition for better games.
Tenchu: -Is it bad? ~ Its not bad *giggle* -The Dev’s did some control decisions IGN didn’t understand -They say its “fun” but their tone says otherwise.
If you actually listen Bozon says it has good graphics, good controls, good game. The more I see it, the more it looks like a solid 8.0 game.
The World Ends With You: -The guys want to do a sequel -They said if they do a Wii sequel they would have to do a lot of things differently
I went to buy this today but it was out of stock.
Choice info from Reader Questions and Answers:
-One publisher said its using the sales of DeBlob and Deadly Creatures as parameters towards what they will do on the Wii in the Future (THQ ??)
This is beyond stupid, two niche concept games sales will prove what exactly?
-HOTDverkill, Conduit and Madworld sales are both being watched closely by publishers not just Sega. Again why? Madworld is a black and white ultra violent game, not mass market. Conduit is an okay looking game, HOTD is a zombie lightgun game if you want to see sales just look at Umbrella Chronicles sales.
-They think Wii Sports Resort will be the years best selling game and sell like WiiPlay FUCK NO, well maybe because it comes with a peripheral.
-SD card fix will be coming at the end of March, no details available yet but that’s the target date IGN were told. Bout time.
- Bozon slips in a little mention that they know of more dark games coming, EA possibly doing some, Dead Space?
EA better not try and pawn off very late inferior versions of games already out and then whine about bad sales.
-They love the Pikmin Wiimake controls and are excited for the Prime WiiMakes made by Retro
Seriously, with MP3 control those games would be godly. Oh and the podcast mentions that retro has done the work on the new Play on Wii versions. So it will be COOL
-Matt, “we’ve seen a lot of people being pulled off PS3 projects and putting on Wii projects, but its not the Wii projects you’ll want, A major PS3 project was pulled for a mini-game fest”. Its why Conduit and Madworld sales are so important. No, this is why publishers piss me off.
-Matt confirms more dark games, you’ll see them as early as April, hope they are better than stuff like Winter and Cursed Mountain. I want good, technically great concepts with a budget behind them.
-Matt claims Major IP’s from big publishers, says to check out his top 10 games of the year to do detective work, *goes to look for this article*
-The EXCITE Truck developer is working on a new Wii game, no idea wat it could be, why do GAF love this game so much? I always meant to try it.
Sweet Banjo-Tooie pics. They did a nice job bringing Banjo-Kazooie to XBLA and it was alot of fun playing it again. I never did get to play Banjo-Tooie so I'm estatic that this game is now coming to XBLA so I can finally get a chance to play it.
I still think Fable 2 will come to PC. They just want to squeeze sales out of the 360, of course they're not gonna admit to another version....only Capcom does stupid things like that.
LOL @ Too Human. What a shocker there. I'd much rather have a new Eternal Darkness than that crap...get on it.
I find it sad that developers need to go on IGN to kind of advertise their games on Wii. So Winter is made by N-Space? I also find it sad that Nintendo isn't willing to publish some of these games themselves. Its not lke their overflowing with releases here.....and they're making a ton of cash. Stop being cheap and publish some fucking 3rd-party software assholes. For more than just a Tecmo game that's marginally popular.
I thought it was too simple till one of my structures collapsed under the weight of its own physics. Then it clicked.

Stop ‘n’ Swop features confirmed for XBLA Banjo Tooie re-release
4J Studios have dredged the Banjo team’s collective memory and implemented the original plan for Stop ‘n’ Swop, for the first time on any platform ever and after many long years of waiting. Without going into too much detail, the Stop ’n’ Swop items collected in Banjo-Kazooie will ‘magically’ appear in Tooie, resulting in… well, you’ll just have to find out. What could be cooler than that? Nothing, that’s what – not even Kazooie turning into a dragon.

Sad? It's fucking pathetic. But Nintendo are the ones making proper games for the machine and publishing proper games too, Fatal Frame 4, Excite Truck, Disaster, Sin and Punishment, Another Code R, Punch out and all that crap. I just find it absolutely crap that people that want to make proper games get shot down by marketing departments. No good games because some suit in a boardroom who probably doesn't even play games can't understand it. 3rd parties are doomed to mediocrity on the system because they aren't even willing to bankroll these games. They bankroll cheap shoddy crap. You guys still haven't checked out the Monster Hunter 3 pics from the thread at the weekend, but compare those pics and the trailer vs most other 3rd party games and its a joke.
Fable 2 will come to PC I bet, eventually. They want it to be a console exclusive for as long as possible, but I dont really doubt it will make its way over eventually.
GG you dont think Wii Sports 2 will be the best selling game, it will sell a bazillion copies and never stop selling.
BTW that live action RE thing is part of their viral campaign.
Wii Sports resort I hate like you hate Wii Fit. I see it as a pointless cash in. It's not even based on "sports" and I have no desire to throw a frisbee about for a dog. The only reaon I have any curiosity about it over Carnival Games is that it comes with this new peripheral. Wii Sports was a pack in and was the first mass market motion controlled game. Two and a half years later it will struggle to garner the same commercial magic I think. It will do well because its nintendo and because it has this new peripheral and because of the Wii Sports name. But I'm thinking that it wont come close to Wii Sports of course, now the biggest selling game of all time (as a pack in). Maybe it will sell like Wii Music, slow and sure. Either way I dont look forward to this and hope that the motionplus gets packed in with something else. Red Steel 2 for instance.
Did the updates. Holy hell a Crystal Bearers trailer.
The music in the first part was WTF inducing. Game looks great though, another example of a company going full whack to make a proper game. Puts western 3rd parties to shame on the system. Hope to see a better quality trailer. Also, the game has Elebits like telekinesis?!

LIVES

Done with the updates for Tuesday. Banjo Tooie looks cool-ish.
Hey, do I spy normal mapping in this pic?
Because in the video I posted in the forum the reflections on the snow look uncommonly good for Wii.

Only a 69.

Anyhow, PS0 looks good:
Hey Edgecrusher, remember this room in RE4?
PSO looks excellent.

BTW that live action RE thing is part of their viral campaign.
Ummm, that's somewhere in the castle right? Why, is there something I should know?
It must be slang for "Hey Edgecrusher, want to touch my ass?".
One of the site's forefathers.
How good is your PC?
FUCK YEAH!
Fascinating stuff, but "world's only immortal animal" is misleading as hydra immediately spring to mind.

Screencaps here from King Zel:
The hell? Suddenly Arc Rise Fantasia looks good?
Sort of.
Screw you guys for ignoring this game. I put a whole bunch of new pics in the thread
This is normal mapping right? Has to be.
