Inafune on leaving Capcom

Keiji Inafune, Capcom's global head of production until last week, has taken a swipe at his former employer, suggesting the "Inafune brand was the worst handled" within the company.


          In an interview with Japanese website 4Gamer, which has been reposted in complete form on NeoGAF, the Mega Man creator shed further light on his decision to leave Capcom.


          "For Capcom, it doesn't matter whether a game has the Inafune brand or is made by some anonymous producer," he said. "That's ultimately why I made the decision to leave. It's sad to leave, proving that point. It was really sad.

               
                         

"I got the impression that the Inafune brand was the worst handled within Capcom. Say you had a beautiful younger sister, and of course other people would say, 'Your younger sister is pretty. It must be nice to live with her.' But then maybe you look at her and think she's rather average? It's kind of like that."


          The interviewer responds by saying he's not exactly sure what Inafune means, and we don't quite get it either

Wut?

Quick question here, how many Ace Attorney games have you bought and if you stopped playing the series and didn't get the next game. Why?

I've bought them all, played them all, and beaten them all. I don't foresee myself ditching the series anytime toon.

                                                  Investigations 2 is launching in Feb in Japan. Hope it has an english mode like 2 and 3 did. I would import. Otherwise I get the feeling it wont come out till next September

After almost importing Last Window I've decided to hold off against doing that anymore. There's just too much good stuff already out here and paying a premium to get what will eventually come out anyway just doesn't work for me.  THen again I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to bite the bullet on Last Window anyway, but for now I'm still going to stick to the no import rule.

I found that importing past Ace Attorney games was cheaper and you got it months early.

WiiWare demos will once again be available to download from the Wii Shop Channel, Nintendo's announced.

Every WiiWare demo featured on the Wii Shop Channel will be available for a limited time only, and the line-up will be constantly refreshed – there's a dedicated list on wiiware.Nintendo.co.uk as well as on the Wii Shop Channel itself.

Kicking things off from Friday 5th November are four WiiWare demos: Furry Legends (Gamelion), Jett Rocket (Shin'en Multimedia), ThruSpace (Nintendo) and Zombie Panic in Wonderland (Akaoni Studio).

A year ago Nintendo ran a trial program for downloadable demos that saw a handful of WiiWare games given the try before you buy treatment. That trial ended in January this year

he that means once again the top 5 wiigames will be demo's awesome i guess i have never been a fan of demo's myself

I don't get what Nintendo's cockamamie demo program is about. The DS has had downloadable demos since 2006, yet they only have the same 7 or so games there and then the occasional third party title, which then gets taken off the service after a couple of weeks.

IGN Goldeneye review should hit in 10 minutes.

Robio, Travo, I see you.

Meh, GI gave Metroid a low score as well.

That sounds like a troll fest from the side bar, especially what they say about FPS on Wii, considering it has solid ports of at least two of the popular FPS of the generation (WaW and MW) as well as a couple of exclusives like MP3. It doesn't mention anything about the multiplayer outside that it looks bad in split screen (I dunno what they expected, some of the levels look fine from footage we've seen but it was obviously going to be a jagfest with so low resolution for each player) but I suppose the review text will cover that (or will it? how do they judge online multiplayer when only reviewers have the game?). Still, low replayability in a multiplayer focused FPS doesn't sound like a fair description. If it's bad you won't wanna play it at all but if you like it then surely you'll get some value out of it. The controls bit is probably a troll attempt too although it remains to be seen if he claims pointer controls in FPS suck always and forever (which I believe wouldn't be the first time - edit: yep, just saw your reply above, I remembered right) or they suck in this game in particular. I wouldn't pay attention to GI Wii reviews. That said, the game has a high chance of sucking so that's a shame if it does. I was looking forward to some stealth FPS action.

That's not exactly much more reliable but still, this sounds cool, and exactly what I want out of it...

There's a fantastic balance between stealth play and firefights, and in most cases, as long as you don't alert the enemy to your presence, you can play through much of the game crouched down and sneaking around with stealth melee takedowns and silenced headshots. But once a guard knows you're there, it's an all-out gunfight.

Also this. Sad about the frame rate, I hope it's not too frequent, although stealth may minimise it...

Replay is a big part of GoldenEye because many levels have been designed with multiple paths to explore. On harder difficulties, you'll need to track down additional objectives hidden within the level that require more exploration than just heading to the next waypoint.
