Re: Wii Remote Support Coming to Google's Android

JonWahlgren

There's nothing illegal about the Remote recognizing part; my Macbook recognizes Wii controllers just fine through bluetooth. Emulators themselves aren't illegal either, it's the ROMs that are, and I don't think Google is distributing those on their app store.

Still, cool beans.

Re: Interviews: Akaoni - Zombie Panic in Wonderland

JonWahlgren

@Ren: There are strong similarities between the two, and while they are indeed separate games I don't see these questions as anything that would sort of diminish what Akaoni is doing. Quality notwithstanding, were people not supposed to ask John Romero the difference between Doom and Daikatana? Not ask Carmack about the similarities of Doom and Quake?

And don't people usually complain about game interview questions not prying enough? I apologize to Manuel if I came across as rude to him, but I think these are valid questions. I disagree with those who call this a "port" of BBQ as it's clearly not.

Re: Interviews: Readers Ask Steve Wiebe

JonWahlgren

It was plenty appropriate, he just sorta answered that question when asked about whether he'd be taking on DK3 down the line.

Also, thanks to everyone who contributed a question! There were a lot of good ones, which made it tough to whittle down to just a handful or so.

Re: Interview: Dreambox Games - Robox

JonWahlgren

@brandonbwii: I think what he means is that the controls will be more Wii-centric, with more motion and IR as opposed more "traditional" stuff. I don't want to speak for them because I don't know, but that was my understanding at least.

Re: Review: GhostSlayer (WiiWare)

JonWahlgren

I saw that in the OP guide, but in-game there is no discernible difference between the swords' special attacks besides color.

@jangonov: Nope. This was clearly designed for M+ and it'd seem silly to detract from the score for including the ability to let everyone play. Those controls may be kinda bad, but they're not the intended way to play either.

Re: Sony Patents Universal Game Controller

JonWahlgren

@lz: Id imagine Xbox is trademarked by Microsoft. Looking at figure 4 that's clearly not a Remote, looks more like a CC or SNES pad and clearly not the Wii's primary input. I think it's just for illustrative purposes.

Re: Review: Fieldrunners (DSiWare)

JonWahlgren

@postmanX3: This version is pretty much the same content as what's currently in the App Store. It's certainly a lot of stuff, but yeah, it's unfortunate that they might not bring any eventual new content to this platform. No "hooks" for it in-game, so this is it pretty much!

Re: Review: No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle (Wii)

JonWahlgren

@nitro_rev: I felt the same way when I heard it was converting into a menu system. I had a lot of fun running around on my second playthrough digging up concept art and stuff too. What's here works though, and there's plenty of replay value in the side jobs and Deathmatch!
