Re: Iwata: We Need To Raise Our Game at E3

Ian_Daemon

Nintendo needs FRESH BLOOD on stage. The entire NoA staff can stay home. Please, stay home. That goes for that translator-guy "Bill Trinnen" or whatever his name is. No one from NoA (Nintendo of America) seems at all interested in games. They're in it for the "business" side of things. Miyamoto and Iwata at least try to convey a general excitement about games and gaming.

"Minus button = Cycles through your unlocked combo spells [this is the only button mapping that we don't like since the Minus button is so small, but there's no choice]"

Why not use the B button instead? It's bigger and easier to press quickly.

Re: iPhone more powerful than Wii?

"...and their popularity doesn't remove the hardware limitations."

Did I miss something? Was that EVER true?

@ Jon (#90):
Have you seen SBCG4AP? The Brothers Chap's Flash stuff looks incredible compared to TellTale's WiiWare games.

@ i8cookie (#8):
Thank you for not saying it was a "mute point"! Far too few people that know how to speak properly.

Re: ColorZ

From the video, this looks interesting...and possibly very tricky. I'm game!

Re: Interviews: Red Steel 2 Developer Videos

Ian_Daemon

Red Steel 2 looks like it can be very fun with Wii MotionPlus (WM+), I just hope that the 1:1 accuracy is there and the tracking is fast enough.

I have the Tiger Woods 2010 golf game with WM+ and I know that the accuracy CAN be there, it's just from the E3 video above it looks as if the Red Steel team has some work to do...

Re: What Nintendo games do you want to see on the Virtual Console?

Ian_Daemon

Where is the general clamor for "Zombies Ate My Neighbors"? Did people forget? It's on only a few lists... I guess the clamor came from the "vocal minority".

While ZAMN isn't Nintendo-only, I'd definitely put it in the "Nintendo Classic" category. It's a classic and on a Nintendo console. (i.e. "Pac-Man" is an Arcade classic.)

Re: Review: The Conduit (Wii)

Ian_Daemon

I play The Conduit often. It's fun and the controls are done well. It's not perfect, but it's a SOLID FPS entry on the Wii. I've beaten the single-player campaign and there is so much story contained in the radio transmissions and the hidden graffiti that you uncover. It's easy to miss this stuff as it's not in-your-face or spoon-fed like most game content has become.

I'd give the single player adventure a 7. It you dig the online multiplayer (which I certainly do), I'd say this is an 8.

Re: Review: Wii Sports: Resort (Wii)

Ian_Daemon

Nice review, you sound really excited. Why on earth did this get a score of nine and not a ten? In reading the review you have nothing bad to say about ''Wi Sports Resort' except that each individual sport could be fleshed out by a stand-alone game... (and that's not really bad)

Re: Eduardo the Samurai Toaster

Ian_Daemon

(1) Eduardo the Samurai Toaster is a good game. I'm glad I bought it. (However, it IS repetitive repetitive repetitive and simplistic) The art style is cool.

(2) I heard that it was easy, so I immediately started playing on the "hard" difficulty and I've had fun ever since. I have no idea how I gain and lose power-ups, but it doesn't seem to matter at this point.

(3) Is anyone else experiencing audio problems/issues? The game audio is still there, but there's this metallic-grating noise and static sound over it...

Re: Eduardo the Samurai Toaster

Ian_Daemon

Looks like Gunstar Heroes-style gameplay. I LOVE Gunstar Heroes!

I can't wait to get this... Eduardo the Samurai Toaster looks to have frenetic-fun gameplay with a quirky character twist.

Re: New Wii Zelda Artwork Leaked?

Ian_Daemon

Didn't I read a description of the revealed concept art as "...Link barely visible behind a broken wall..." he's hardly obscured. And weren't we supposed to see a more mature Link? That looks like the Twilight Princess character to me.
