EEDAR year in review
Nintendo has released its post-NPD results statement, saying the Nintendo DS has had the best year in console gaming history and pointing to exceptionally strong sales of the Wii console in 2009.
According to Nintendo, the Nintendo DS models -- Nintendo DS Lite and DSi -- sold over 11.2 million U.S. units combined in 2009, which the company says sets a new calendar-year sales record for a piece of video game hardware.
The Wii, meanwhile, sold 9.6 million units for the year -- down 5.7 percent from 2008. According to Nintendo, 18.6 percent of units the system has sold over its lifetime were sold in November and December 2009, a spike which the company clearly hopes will imply a bright future for the system as competitors criticize it as being outdated.
Wow, so basically sales flagged during the year but november and december boosted Wii sales so much that its only down 5.7 % on the whole compared to 2008.
(For the whole year, Wii sold 9.6 million units - down slightly on 2008's year end total of 10.17 million )
Updates done.
The NBA jam pic brings back lots of fond SNES memories. As you know its an american sport and yet I had a lot of fun with it back then, very arcady.
I hope it just uses the remote sideways.
"Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has become the fourth best-selling game of all time. In fact, 3 of the top 10 games of all time are Call of Duty games."
Wow, in the US of course. Does the franchise deserve it?

Looks good, apart from the giraffes.... WTF
Does not look on rails either. Did 1up F-up the translation or what? I need to know.
It is definitely not on rails, you can see the guy strafing, standing still, moving backwards and even turning. It's a third person hack and slash game
I really hope so and that its not restricted movement ala Killer 7 or something. Why does the clip pause and show video of sailing boats and giraffes?
EDIT:
I see forward and backwards and strafing movement. No turning though but its not the kind of thing you show in a trailer anyway, a character turning 180.
This thing is great.
There is no hope, it is confirmed it is not on rails. The developers also did Earth Defence Force and that was third person also, right?!
About the animals, I guess they are comparing the size of the monsters to different animals and objects. One monster is probably as big as a giraffe.
I know about EDF, but this is wii and developers do tend to do stupid things like making games on rails. I want an actual media outlet to go hands on and confirm or deny it. I still don't see turning, I see strafing and forward and back. 1up are pissing me off.
The game looks nice, it has quite low res textures but because of the scale and lighting and art it gets away with it easily. Motionplus hacking off limbs should be awesome. Online co-op too. That's badass.
Comparing character models to real life animals and sailing boats in a video... that is weird.
I checked again. First thing the pointer is the sword symbol on the screen. You can clearly see it everywhere. You can also clearly see some sort of lock-on system. Even multiple enemies at once. I think that is for the multi fireball attack. Perhaps you use your pointer to choose which enemy you want to lock on and then press the lock on button.
And you can see clearly one scene where all are a row of monsters in front of you. You see the pointer moving to the edge of the screen and then yellow arrows appear. Then he turns, very much like Red Steel. I hope there is a option that allows for faster turning by making the dead zone smaller.
Plus there is a radar on screen, so enemies will not just attack you from the front otherwise there was no need for a radar. So hereby I declare 1up bunk and say that it is not on rails.
WTF? Pointer based turning in a 3rd person sword game? That is weird. Why not just have the stick move and turn and then hold down Z to strafe?
EDIT:
Just watched it again, yeah turning with the pointer at the edge of the screen. Weird.
please mind your wording. it will be a "guided experience"

Oh yeah I'd say the Call of Duty games deserve the accolades and sales. Modern Warfare 2 is A-W-E-S-O-M-E. BEST. MULTIPLAYER. GAME. EVER.
Mass Effect 2 gets it's first 10! Woooooo!
No, I wouln't put any of the CoD games in the same class as GTA or Mario. I guess there is a ton of Pokemon on the top list, which I would say is on par so whatever. Oh and Nintendogs, ugh.
