Hey!

Wouldn't it be GREAT if the additional content in MM9 was Boss Rush DL's

where you would battle the Robot Masters from all of the past games...

...for a nominal price...

Welcome to the club Punk.

Wii's second best shooter is made by a PSP developer: Team Fusion.

Are you implying that Metroid Prime 3 is a lowly shooter?!

iga_bobovic said:

GG is was only joking. You know acting mad for people calling Metroid a shooter, because metroid is a Shooter/Platformer/Adventure hybrid. So the genre of Metroid is well Metroidvania and not a mere shooter. I wasn't really mad or something. So the best FPS on the Wii is MoH 2.

You know what I want to see in E3? Sin and Punshiment 2. The only thing holding the original back was the controls. This game begs for wiimote nunchuck control.

that's true about the previous game, but I seem to remember a whole lot less platforming and adventuring, and a whole lot more shooting in MP3.

My God, look at the floors in prime 3 *drools* those magnificent floors.

Yeah I spent half the game looking at the pretty floor patterns. Foolz will back me up

Best part of the game!

Yes. Stay up late and watch it.

Resident Evil 0 on Wii sounds.....pointless. Especially once Nintendo's next system hits and Gamecube games can just be saved right to the machine, or downloaded completely.

And if they were gonna port one of these games, why not REmake? Why pick the worst game?

METROID PRIME 3 VISUALS BEAT STARFOX

Bet you bitches wish you hadn't throws away those SDTVs.

Visually, Star Fox Adventures > Metroid Prime 3.

You are so wrong.

So are we going to do anything special for E3. Like for the conferences or anything?

Not that I'm aware of. I would want special sections for the platforms to cover the E3 period. Yodariquo isn't online much this week from what I can see Must be awfully busy. We're still waiting on a couple of things/tweaks.

Nippon Ichi moving to Wii?

http://wii.ign.com/articles/888/888148p1.html

In my opinion, this just shows how absolutely slow Japan is to adapt to things and change their ways. These guys are a small developer and can't afford to make high-production PS3 games, so the PS3's power means little to them. On top of that, the Wii is slaughtering PS3 in sales anyway. They should have been working on Wii from day 1.....instead they're just "considering" the move now.

Well, yeah you can see that there are a lot of specialist japanese developers who literally don't have the money or skill to get involved in making a proper big budget next gen game with a 3 year development period. They were okay on the PS2 generation but now, portables and wii are their only options, especially given how the wii is performing in sales.

Updates done. I will do another one in a few hours. Oh everyone watch the AVGN Superman 64 review. The game is beyond shit!

Again, why couldn't suda do these visuals for NMH? :?

The Conduit Wii Interview

http://news.vgchartz.com/news.php?id=1429

EXTRACTS BELOW, FULL ARTICLE AT LINK

Just when it started to look like epic, mature core games for Wii wouldn’t be coming anytime soon, all of a sudden there’s High Voltage, with a visually stunning FPS. When did you decide: “we’re going for Wii and we’re going all the way”? And what lead to this decision, since not a lot of developers were taking that direction?
(Tom) Our goal from the beginning was to leverage every bit of graphical and game play power possible from the Wii console. The Quantum 3 engine, being the core of our development process, allowed for some amazing results. The reason we went the direction we did was actually because no one else was going that way. We wanted to develop a game that no one else has for the Wii.

Are some of High Voltage’s developers sometimes frustrated with Wii’s graphical power? The game surely looks great, but I´m sure a lot of your developers have the artistic drive to deliver the best possible result. Is there no one that said “what if we made it for 360…”?
(Tom) I think what we have been able to achieve so far has pleased everyone on the team. It is extremely challenging to push the limits of the Wii as far as we have, and it’s very rewarding to see the results. There is a limited amount of memory and CPU power available, and we have to work within those constraints. There is no way around that. The team is always up for a challenge, however, and I’m very proud of their progress on The Conduit. I think the game looks even better every day!

THE Wii FPS DEBATE

Just to continue the discussion, with some relevant news, Treyarch and what they are apprarently doing with Wii on COD5 sounds promising. The creative director and senior producer have said:

• they believe that the Wii hasn’t been pushed to its limits yet
  - Wii version will support everything that is in the other versions
  - there is a secret concerning co-op play, which is to be revealed later
  - CoD4 engine on Wii reconfirmed
  - camera and controls are taking a top priority “For example, if you’re climbing on a hill, in a game, you’d have to adjust the point of view manually… but that’s not as in reality, where you would instinctively look a bit higher over your head. That’s the kind of adjustment we’ve obtained working on cameras on Wii version.”
  - more fluid movements for shooting
  - Zapper support reconfirmed - details unclear, but you’ll be doing typical Zapper stuff (aim off-screen to reload)
  - Main game runs at 60FPS, online is 30FPS

This is an example of a developer that seems to be putting some effort behind the wii version, it uses the COD4 engine for craps sake, earlier they said that all the effects etc of the next gen versions would be seen on Wii too. And that comparitively it would seem a lot closer to the next gen versions than other multiformat game has in the past. They also said that COD 5 will push wii harder than any other game - a fricking bold as hell statement considered Prime 3 and Mario Galaxy.

They state that the wii version will support everything that the other versions have. So far we haven't seen a single video or screen from the wii version so all of this for my money so far is hearsay till they prove it. But if true what you have here is an example of a Wii FPS with nearly no comprimises, fully featured, tech pushing and it's going to have those sweet controls from COD3 to boot.

If there were more games that aspired to making this effort on wii, I would honestly choose the wii version simply because I like shooter controls using IR so much more.

Did anyone apart from me actually watch the Conduit gameplay video? It looked pretty good, smooth as hell and frenetic too. It's still up at IGN: http://uk.media.wii.ign.com/media/142/14248157/vids_1.html

De Blob looks better. Did everyone see that trailer Edge linked to? Game is looking great now, I mean that.

http://uk.wii.ign.com/articles/887/887265p1.html

"We got our hands-on the latest build of de Blob this week and we've got some excellent news to report. The platformer has come completely and totally together. Blue Tongue has very clearly been busy for the last couple of months, as those framerate and visual deficiencies that frequented early incarnations of the title are all of a sudden nowhere to be found, a truth that has us very happy. Not only is the game's fluidity locked at 60 frames per second (sadly, you won't be able to see this in our videos since all of our footage is captured at 30 frames -- you'll just have to take our word for it), but out of nowhere, de Blob now boasts some of the prettiest particle effects we've seen on Nintendo's home console, from gorgeous shimmering water to beautiful heat distortion and extremely detailed paint splatters. Furthermore, the once-disobedient camera now shoots the action smartly and coherently. And to top everything off, the dynamic musical soundtrack will rock you. "

Yes I watched the Conduit video. I'm buying it.

Yes de BLOB looks awesome but nobody cared. People suck. That Spray game looks ok but kind of kiddie.
