The gameplay described reminds me of Cel Damage. I'm not that crazy about games where you lose completely when you're a half-inch away from the finish line because of an item though. On that note, I won't be buying anymore Mario Kart games until Nintendo cuts the blue shell crap ... but that's another subject entirely.

How well did the Wii version of Modern Warfare sell?

I'd rather have a character on the screen I can move out of the way instead of just having to shoot first. I'll keep an eye on this one though.

I see I'm not the only one with the problem.

I hate it when people jump to conclusions like this, setting us up for disappointment. James Newton, you have upset me for the last time! I challenge you to a sword-fighting duel to the death!!!

For porting the games or for doing remakes? I already got Final Fantasy V and Final Fantasy VI on my GBA and PS1. I want 3D remakes that will kick, baby!

I have too much VC and WiiWare content to get this and sell my old white Wii. I do like black finishes though ... even if smudge marks are more noticeable on them.

no blood = no sale

Okay, so Dead Rising for the Wii was a bust, but didn't they do more than just downgrade the graphics? Weren't some other features like jumping and taking pictures also removed?
I don't believe I have seen any screen shots of Marvel vs Capcom 3, but if it's done in sprites, Wii should be able to handle it.

This thing may have sucked, but Galactic Pinball was one of the best damn pinball games I ever played.

Sorry. Something stuck in my throat. I'm looking forward to Monday provided there are no slip-ups.

@Mickeymac
What mistake are you talking about?

Did any officials say Marvel vs Capcom 3 and Super Street Fighter IV were never coming to Wii? Just wondering.
I'm well-aware that those games would have to be downgraded somewhat to be put on Wii (at least SSFIV). That doesn't mean it wouldn't happen.

Didn't think so. Homophobes!!

But can I have two people of the same gender make out in this?

I haven't experienced any problems with the KOF Collection on Wii. I still can't figure out how to play as the more powerful version of Rugal like I could in the DreamCast version of KOF 98, but other than that, it's fine.

Oh, how delightfully drull. I've had King of Fighters '95 for a while now since I have The King of Fighters Collection: The Orochi Saga.

Now what's this I've been hearing of a Shantae-themed DIY game?

It's the 21st century. I don't think it would kill the sales to have the option to play as a lesbian. It might make a few conservatives angry, but do gamers really care what they think anymore?

Great! Now give us Pirates: The Legend of Black Kat!!

@lz2010 The archaic "damsel in distress" angle. That Samus Aran is pretty much the only brave female in the Nintendo universe is degrading. With the exception of a few F-Zero pilots, that's pretty much it. I think it's time for Nintendo to step forward. You don't have to agree with me. In fact, I almost expect you not to, because people on message boards tend to shoot my opinions down a lot. That's the price I pay for being a critical thinker.

It's also backwards.

Well at least it's less money for me to spend now.
I'll give SMG2 a look-see, but I am getting deathly sick of stories involving princesses who are constantly getting kidnapped can't even defend themselves from a damn baby turtle with a paint brush!!
I wonder how much protesting the talented but politically archaic Miyamoto made against Super Princess Peach.

Why must you suffer, MasterGraveheart?? Because CAPCOM is a sadistic corporation that thrives on pissing people off.

Okay, so after doing some research, it seems that Sin & Punishment 2 will be released when Metroid Other M was supposed to be, meaning it's likely that Other M got delayed so as not to compete with Sin & Punishment 2.
Thanks for nothing!

No surprise here. Delays pretty much go hand in hand with Nintendo. How bad are the delays? I went to look up the original release dates, but someone already updated GameFAQs and Wikipedia before I could find out!! When were they supposed to come out?

Apparently, ZPIW will be coming to America on May 3rd.

The "rescue the princess" thing got old a long time ago. Now it's just getting more and more annoying.

Why don't they just drop "Frat Party" from the title, add "Beer" to the title, and have a disclaimer saying that this game is not meant to advocate alcohol use by people under the age of 21?

Oh, it's from CAPCOM. Never mind then.

Well, I guess it'll be worth taking a look. I'll wait a few weeks after its release for any announcements on a an even newer DS. I guess I gotta settle eventually though.

I can appreciate DLC that requires currency if it's made after the game is released, but when it's already on there and you have to pay for it anyway, especially if it's right there on the character selection screen and it tells you that you have to purchase it when you select it, is tacky and I won't support it this time. This time I won't be getting the game at all unless I find out for certain that having both versions will mean getting everything. CAPCOM should do the right thing and provide free unlockings for both games, but we all know that's never gonna happen. At any rate, I think everyone who bought Street Fighter IV and buys Super Street Fighter IV should be entitled to every costume at no additional charge.

Nothing interesting here. And after finding out that CAPCOM will still be charging for alternate outfits already on the disc of Super Street Fighter IV, I'm quite pissed off at CAPCOM at the moment, so pretty much everything related to CAPCOM right now, including Mege Man, only makes me sick.

NEXT!!!

This is great and all, but when are we gonna get Virtua Cop?
And how many credits do we get this time?

As for Time Crisis, Sony may not own the series, but they probably think they do and would threaten NAMCO for even considering ports to a non-Sony console. I don't know what they could threaten then with, but they probably have enough highly-skilled lawyers to get them acquitted from assassinations even if the evidence is clear. Of course that's just speculation.

Apparently James Newton thinks we hate RPGs that lack character voices.

Most XBox 360 and PS3 fanatics say TvC is more than a fair trade for Wii not having SF4, while some complain that TvC should be on XB360 and PS3 anyway. Well, XB360 and PS3 have a ****-load of fighting games that the Wii doesn't so I think it would be fair to have Super Street Fighter 4 on the Wii!

The d-pad usually moves both the character and the cross-hair, but when you hold the shoot button down, your character remains stationary and the d-pad moves only the cross-hair. You can dodge enemy fire while holding the shoot button by pressing the jump button while holding left or right. And yes, you are firing rapidly while holding the shoot button.

What I want for a Wii remake is to move the character with the nunchuk's control stick, move the cross-hair with the Wii remote, shoot with the B trigger, jump with the A button, bomb with either C or Z on the nunchuk, and quick-dodge enemy fire by shaking the nunchuk left or right. How would that sound to you? I'd also want controller options because I'm not selfish and I know there are people out there who prefer firing using the A button for whatever reason.

Why can't they just have better TVs and game systems in Australia?
And no, I didn't read the whole article.

So now you assume video gamers hate reading, huh?!! James Newton, you are working my last nerve!!!

You thought of Sagat but not Chun-Li? If I knew where you were, I would slap you!

If any of Luc Bernard's games make it to Wii, that'll be a miracle in itself. I'm still waiting for Rose Princess.

Didn't the ESRB also rate Earthbound?

@pixelman
Wait! What?! It is?! I thought this was just added to the website for reference purposes!

I have tried this out. The menu in the Wii version is better than in the PS3 and XBox versions, but the picture doesn't look as good on an HDTV.

This game begs a remake on Wii.

@Koto
...

@climber
Kinda short. How's the replay value? Personally, I'd like a Wii remake of the SNES game Wild Guns, but you already know that, don't you?

I'm making a point to quit obsessing about this game and remakes of Wild Guns. I'm not making any promises though.

So can I shoot with the B trigger?

So did Australia get Zombie Panic in Wonderland?
Also, can the B button be used for shooting in that game?

So I could finally play Sin & Punishment the way it was meant to be played ... minus Rumble Pak compatibility of course, I'd imagine. Hopefully Nintendo cannot (or at least will not) disable this with an update. I only want it for the N64 controller if it's mapped correctly. I have a two classic controllers as well as several rechargeable batteries and I don't have a problem holding the Wii remote sideways like an NES pad.

Dammit! I was just about to provide This link here as a surprise to cheer the Australian hopefuls up and then this happens! How can they make time to pass silly laws like that one that compares exposed adult females' small breasts to kiddie porn but not rate a few games?! Australia needs a revolution!
And no, I'm not encouraging a violent uprising in which the officials are captured and killed, but Australia's book of laws needs some serious re-editing.
