The gameplay shown at E3 was decidedly "meh", but this actually looks interesting now! (second video only)

@18: You can only do so much with prescription eyeglasses.

@16: I don't think Sony cares. They'll just wait and copy something that Nintendo has already proven works.

So, "virtual console" articles (accessed the "virtual console" tab) now include WiiWare and DSiWare news?

3D with glasses really limits the audience. Just think of the human beings all over the world that already wear eyeglasses, those that are color-blind, those with only partial 3D vision, those with zero 3D vision, etc.

Face it Sony, 3D is a fad. It also has been. It's nothing new. It's like "jelly shoes", "slap bracelets", and "POGs".

Sonic is 19? How did you get that number?

@pixelman: It's the same blocky graphics.

The Conduit is/was cool. I have high hopes for Conduit 2! Come on HVS!

Bring it.

This actually looks like it's in the same vein as "Chip's Challenge" for the PC. (early 90's Windows game)

@ warioswoods (45):
"Sound logic, false premise."

Faulty logic, false premise.

"Watsham makes a good but, although this..."
Um, ok?

I thought the The Conduit was pretty good. Generic and simple, but controlled well. I was looking forward to the sequel as soon as I heard about it.

1500pts? There is no way I'd pay that for a WiiWare game.

I still have to pick up RS2.

@Mik: "How can something be both new and improved?!"
I must not understand.

This has the potential to be very good. And very bland. Let's hope for the best and expect the worst.

Yeah, that's more of an homage to the original "Zelda" game than anything...

@slapshot:
The Wii plays previous generations' games with their release environment. Some Wii games let players use the GameCube controller. Your point is? The 3DS is just a new platform that doesn't force some things. (It's cool of Nintendo to think of players with lesser vision.)

"...With two-player split-screen confirmed it looks like this might be worth a punt when it arrives in September this year...."

Did you mean "worth a pint"? I have no idea what "worth a punt" means. Is that British slang?

TrackMania was really cool on the PC. I never played the DS outing, but the Wii version looks like spectacular fun!

(and Rush 2049 was one of the best racing games of all time)

Rail shooters = fun replay.

Does anyone know the controls used? (i.e. wiimote, nunchuk, classic controller, or gamecube controller)

Every time I have the option of subtitles, I turn it on. (It's really useful for noisy backgrounds, sound effects, etc.)

I really dug The Conduit and am anxiously awaiting Conduit 2. I'm definitely buying day one. The first game was a bit generic and minimal in terms of story, but the FPS groundwork is solid and impressive. The Conduit was great where it counted: physically playing the game. The controls were good, the visuals were nice, the GUI was impressive, and the game was fun to play! (and who can complain about Kevin Sorbo & Mark A. Sheppard?)

There's no reason to believe that Conduit 2 won't take that solid groundwork and deliver a kick-butt game!

Oh, ok. I just thought I was doing everything wrong.

No cricket fans here I see.

Looks awesome!

Bring on The Conduit 2!

Bring on The Conduit 2!

Yes! The Conduit is a great FPS. If HVS improves on it, The Conduit 2 will be stellar. Online AND local multiplayer? Yes please!

I DO NOT want that "Vitality Sensor" in the next Zelda.

Hopefully the new WayForward "Batman" game will be better than "A Boy and His Blob". The latter went from ridiculously easy to near-impossible only for the boss fights. Balancing anyone?

How is third parties sales Nintendo's issue? How can one company blame their success/failure solely on another company?

Third parties need to step up. Don't just make pretty looking crap. "Ooh, the turd isn't selling, let's bedazzle it!"

"Zack & Wiki" is/was awesome!

Doesn't anyone do quality control anymore? It's no wonder that print media is dying; it's being killed by the people that produce print media.

Does the enemy react to how they're attacked? (i.e. can you cut an arm off in a fight or is every attack a body blow? If every attack is the same, this seems like a waste of the MotionPlus' fidelity.)

@ninjamariopimp: Love the Z&W avatar!

Other than being graphically downgraded, is this Wii game any different than the PC original?

Whoa, look really good..

Two games that I only tried because to the demos are the Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life As A Darklord and Pokemon Rumble.games. They really surprised me with being...fun. Different than I'm used to, but fun.

This isn't bad considering you could have been playing a very similar game for years as a free online flash game ( http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/games/missilegame3d )

Please make it a sequel! The wiimote would offer an awesome control scheme!

"However, how many continue to frequent those stores?"

WE do actually. This is sorta "preaching to the choir", but honest in its intent..

This actually makes me want to go buy it...

Wow, I remember buying Shadow Dancer new from a local toy store. I played that Genesis cart to death. (Its death, not mine.)

@buffalobob: HD is the present, not the future...as mandated by the government in my country.

<sarcasm> And we all know Reggie is never wrong... </sarcasm>

@Junkface: Crime Patrol on the SEGA-CD was awesomely bad.

Where's Zack & Wiki 2?

"...confirm its commitment as a multi-platform developer and publisher..."

What part of this says Wii or Nintendo?

@Stargazer: Hey, I liked Sonic Adventure on the Dreamcast.

It'll most likely be an early 2011 release. (or "Q4 2010" for Nintendo)
