Topic: Project H.A.M.M.E.R.

This is a pretty old hardcore Nintendo-developed title for the Wii which was effectively cancelled, but doesn't it look amazing?

It's a real shame it's been indefinitely put on hold. I'd have loved to see this kind of title get first-party support. It would have changed the Wii's image amongst gamers. Imagine how this game would play with Motion Plus as well!

It's interesting that during the cancellation announcement, they said it may reappear in the future. I hope so.

No one thinks this game could have been awesome? Or am I just late to the party and the discussion about it already ended years ago?

Or maybe this is more proof of what the Wii crowd really wants, lol.

You're right on all counts. Wasn't this game canceled?

I don't believe Wii Motion Plus would be a good fit for this game either. You have a huge hammer in the game and my Wiimote weighs like 4 oz. That doesn't really add to the illusion.

Did you miss my entire first post, where I mentioned that three times? lol

Yeah, guess this game was doomed from the start if this is the sort of response it gets from Wii players. Too bad it couldn't get ported to another console.

I remember seeing the videos and reading the news about it. It looks pretty sloppy to me, and from what I read, it played even worse. Like Red Steel, it was a game that should've been made after Nintendo came out with WiiMotion Plus. Maybe they might finally finish it, or a similar, and hopefully much better game now that WM+ is out?

This game was canceled right?
(...lol)

Eh. It looks like a Warriors game, but with fewer enemies and one character rather than 40.

i had really high hopes for the thing back in the day, and was disappointed to watch it disappear. the art for the thing was hardcore and still one of the most bad a-- things i've seen for a game. they could pick this back up at any time, though, so i'm holding out for a mind-blowing re-announcement at some point.

Wasn't this game canceled? Anyway if it came out today it should use Wiimotion Plus! Maybe that's why they canceled it.

The Game itself looks very not Nintendo like.

But it looks Fun, and The idea of using your Wii mote like a Powful Hammer sound Great but, Nintendo wasn't going for Much Hardcore games, and I can see why they stoped making this.

Looks kind of interesting as a concept. Add in some Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction-style missions and it could be fun.

Why can't they make another great Hulk game like that? One of the best super hero games I have ever played. I would have to put it at a tie with Batman: AA.

Sega made (or at least published) a sequel but I heard it wasn't anywhere as good as Ultimate Destruction.

There's also the Spiritual Successor Prototype which was ok I guess but it had a ton of horrible cliches I hate in modern gaming and perhaps one of the most annoying protagonist's ever.

I think this would be a fun game to play. It would fit with nintendo's games like geist. I think the should add a bundled pole or something with weight to feel like you're actually using a hammer.

I heard they cut it and it won't be coming back because it wasn't the target audience Nintendo were looking for at the time, maybe that'll change and they'll redo it. Maybe even put it on the 3DS.

It definitely looks amazing, and still a shame that cancelled.

I think it looked very generic but it might be pretty good with wm+.

I've been anticipated for Hammer and then they cancel it. It would have been another major character like where Olimar, Layton, and Pilotwings are.

It looked very promising. I hope they surprise us in the next E3.
