I COMPLETELY agree. Try Wii Music, It's a game for art and creativity.
I wondered to myself "Will I be able to play All You Need Is Love". I can't afford this game now, but I'm sure a lot of non "band" songs couldn't make it.
This was sweet of Nintendo. They also have the greatest customer service. Sometimes even going as far as replacing a broken second hand system. They will also send you a box and replacement system in advance, unlike Microsoft who gave me a faulty system, no advance replacement and expects me to pay shipping to repair their screw ups.
I dont like the idea. Why can't they just orchestrate original music for this original game. Borrowing from a classic like castlevania will make it lose a lot of its individuality and luster.
To be fair the first song in that video originated from Castlevania II.
P.S. I'm currently playing Castlevania IV and the game is really good and not punishingly difficult(yet). I'm on stage A-1. The stage after stage IX.
EDIT: I didn't know this "Lords of Shadow" was actually a Castlevania game, the article assumes you know. So I wouldn't mind the series' music recreated. I still would like to see less recycled songs and more originality, leaving the classic songs behind with the classic games, and the new music in the new games creating more individuality and new classics.
I hope they use force velocity feedback, meaning, if you're merely flicking your wrist it shows in the game play and swinging the sword across with great might will deliver a greater blow.(ummm or maybe not since this will mean more lawsuits of people getting hurt.)
P.S. The future/steam punk idea was FAN MADE. I'm sure Nintendo plans to deliver something completely different and most of all surprising.
If Nintendo provides widescreen, with the 3D movie craze taking over it would be a smart maketing move for Nintendo to have a download service for movies. Including them Pixars etc. in 3D.
This would make it a definite sale for loads of kids and even adults and it would be the first mobile 3D movie viewer!
"If they wanted the online community to be stronger, then why aren't Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort playable online. Everyone has Wii Sports. It would be awesome to bowl with people around the world."
I thought of that years ago. If Wii Sports was online compatible I guarantee that Nintendo Wi Fi would have been bigger than XBL. Too bad it never happened so there's no proof.
1. if Nintendo is to charge they need to make it cheaper than Xbox Live. No excuses. Casuals need to be tugged enough to pay an attractive price, remember most people buy a Wii to play at home with their family/girlfriend/friends, NOT strangers. And for gamers, this is where it gets difficult. Will a Gamer who owns a Wii and 360 be willing to pay a subscription for both consoles? Believe the average college student and young gamer will have to chose one over the other. And will Nintendo's/Wii's subscription be good enough to justify the price tag?? Therefore low is the way to go.
2. Friend codes a GO-GO. Nintendo's Wii and DS systems are the most user friendly, yet their online system is enough to confuse a tech geek. Friend codes and accessibility are to blame. And honestly even the Wii Shop Channel needs to be revamped. Nintendos online approach is sometimes too confusing to even be fun.
3. Wii Speak. It needs to be supported, no one wants an extra peripheral they're only gonna use on a couple games hanging over they're TV. Without Wii Speak online play is like playing with bots. I understand why Nintendo is hesitant on using Wii Speak but some solution has to exist.
Nintendo needs to fix some of its flaws in the Wii department. I believe the Wii has TONS of potential but they need to enforce quality control.
Another good idea would be to implement Motionplus into EVERY new Wiimote. This will promote Motionplus compatibility with all developers and greatly increase the Wii's sales and lifespan.
I'm a casual but I bet I can beat you at halo and gears of war if i wanted to, but I'd rather play Wii Fit and lose some calories or play Wii Sports with my friends.
I played Sid Meiers Pirates! on the PSP and call me crazy but, it was the WORST time waster I've played in a looong time. Hopefully this one is at least decent.
I say this is the last straw. I'm done with this company.
Why can't they just give us Street Fighter 4 Wii?? And still no real Resident Evil for us? I'm just waiting for the "graphical capabilities" excuse from this company.
@cipher I don't think you understand how hype works, its not as elementary as you say. This very much went against Nintendos favor and we'll hear whining like crazy this E3 with "Nothing new" being the descriptive phrase amongst disappointed Nintendo extremists.
Looks like it wont be happening since he wants to create a fresh new ORIGINAL game for Nintendo.
"Sounds good, but we're slightly torn on this one. While an original Grasshopper/Suda game developed in conjunction with Nintendo would surely come out stellar, we can't help but ponder what wonders could be done with an existing-but-dormant franchise like Kirby coming from the mind behind Travis Touchdown and Harman Smith."
See that's what's hurting Nintendo. I dont wanna see Kirby 10. I want to see a new franchise, one of the last original IP's Nintendo made became the biggest thing to ever hit gaming. Pokemon.

Re: Sonic Colours to Brighten Up DS and Wii
This can't be the Wii trailer?? It's in HD. REAL HD, not converted. odd.
@Raylax Everyone complains when something is delayed. A game could be delayed to add more features and fix bugs and people STILL cry.

Screw IGNorant fanboys. They keep saying "its not that great". Yet they havent played it.

Re: Sony Doesn't Want Failed Wii Games on Move, Thank You Very Much
and this is on a Nintendo news site why?....
And Sony I know how much you want to be like Nintendo but NO YOU CANT have Super Mario Galaxy, Brawl, Zelda, or Wii Sports on your system.
You have a greater chance of getting Deca Sports 2 on your console than Mario Galaxy 2.
Re: Review: Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii)
I still can't figure out how to unlock Sonic in the game arrrrrgh!!!
Re: Some Sort of Wii Remote Gets a Recent Approval From the FCC
I've been waiting for a Wii Remote with built in MotionPlus since M+ was announced.
I'm hoping for a waaaay improved speaker and a very grip-ey case, making the use of the Remoter jacket obsolete.

Re: Mikami and Suda51's "Mad Genius Horror" Game 50% Complete
OH MY GOOODNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MIKAMI AND SUDA51 IN THE SAME SENTENCE?!?!?!?!?!!
Move over Zelda this is now my most anticipated game!!!
Why would this not be on the Wii??
Mikami is a Nintendo fanboy and Suda51 has been loyal to the Wii.

Re: La Mulana Developers Discuss Religious and Rating Issues
If this was a movie it would probably be rated PG 13. And no one will care.
Why do videogames get a bad rap for every morsel of violence etc.?
Re: 3DS Will Let You Play in 2D Too, If You Want
Great move from Nintendo. But I bet some games will have to be played exclusively in 3D. Think a Super Paper Mario-esque game, or puzzle game.
Although this might be fixable if the 3DS has tilt functionality. Maybe??

Re: Miyamoto: Nintendo May Need to Rethink its Online Approach
3 things need to be done:

Re: Sales Charts, Meet Your Future King: Wii Party
CANT WAIT!! Wii Music was great! but should have had more accuracy since its a REAL rhythm game.
I LOVE the Wii series. SO excited!!

@ cipher the casual animosity has got to STOP.
I'm a casual but I bet I can beat you at halo and gears of war if i wanted to, but I'd rather play Wii Fit and lose some calories or play Wii Sports with my friends.
Re: Nintendo DS Now Best-Selling Handheld
What upsets me is that the DS is still puffing steam and Nintendo decides to announce their next handheld. Waaaayyy too soon.
There's probably still 100M potential sales, but hey, I don't own the company.
Re: Tom Clancy's HAWX 2 Will Buzz Wii Owners

Yeah amazon has it listed which is why I was so confused.
Thanks koto.
Re: Tom Clancy's HAWX 2 Will Buzz Wii Owners
Did the original ever come to Wii? I can't find any info on this and it's frustrating me!
I can't find info online and I remember seeing it on Gamestops pre-order list a year ago.

Re: Next Bungie Title May Head to Nintendo Consoles
Actually Halo could be purchased but it would cost tons of money. Halo was bought from Apple.
Re: Next Bungie Title May Head to Nintendo Consoles
@The Fox
I agree. Wii fans whine WAAAY too much especially come E3.
But I would like to see Bungie create a Wii exclusive, like an RPG.
Re: Next Bungie Title May Head to Nintendo Consoles
Knew it would happen sooner or later.
Finally would shut up those kids who kept insisting "Uhhh no, bungie a MS eclusive cant go other consoles."
Re: Red Steel 3 Teased in Official French Nintendo Magazine

Re: Black Wii Could Hit North America in May
