Nintendo spokesman: "Think you'll have your hands full with the Vitality Sensor? Afraid that you can't use both hands for gameplay? Fear no more, as we now announce that this will be a male-only accessory!!!"
...One announcement like that could kill Nintendos family friendly profile at once! It would finish the company, but it would be the best end EVER!
@Prosody Seriously? Anyway, joking on your own expense is a sign of good character right? Everyone who has a good character should download the app and have a jolly time with their friends at their own expense! Ahh, the innovation, just like the inventors of the iphone app "Hallelujah button"... I can totally see how this deserves 2 stars!
Judging from the time between the Gamecube and Wii release, the release should be spring 2011. But considering how the Wii's hardware was pretty out-dated from the start, it could very likely happen earlier. But later? Oh no, then Nintendo has grown totally mad... Or it's rulers at least.
HD alone is not enough, I agree on that. But I think the graphics of the Wii succesor should AT LEAST be equal to the PS3's, if not better. Wii is great and all, but we have to face that were playing with last gen home console graphics! I don't want that to happen again...
First Nintendo game I ever played was SM64... But I played it at a friends house, so I never finished it. The DS version was my chance to do so, and so it was my second game for the console. Great game, but like everyone else I think the d-pad wasn't too good...
I want a DSi software update! Mii channel could be fun, especially if it work with Wii Mii's and the other way around.Or games that take advantage of it's above ordinary DS power! Although a DS2 announcement would make me pretty happy too... Can't they just do as Sony did and let the ordinary DS be for kids and families (like the PS2) and make a really powerful machine (like the PS3) for the hardcore gamers? And no, not with the huge price tag, I mean the "not abandoning the last generation" part. The reason that Sony didn't cancel production of the PS2 was because it's the most bestselling console ever! And the DS is the most bestselling handheld ever, and I don't think it's ready to be called obsolete just yet...
The best thing with the video olympic games is that there's no casualties... Plus it's interactive for the viewer! Sure, you can cheer all you want on the skiers on TV, but you can't tackle them like you can with your friends who are about to win!
Yeah, 2012 does sound good. But I really hope that they'll let you transfer your VC and WiiWare games in one way or another. If Nintendo would make a Wii HD, then I hope developers would make ports of their previous 360/ PS3 games for it... Although my friend has a 360, I've missed out on lots of great games!
Man, this may be some bri**ing good brick right here! Maybe this will be a good Harry Potter game? I remember playing SOME good HP game before... I think it was on the Game boy Advance.
My birthday is up in April 15... Soon the game will be mine, and RyuZebian will be the highest ranking player of them all..! Except for the guys who cheat (use bugs/happen to be better than me)!!!
As long as it's not only loops... I'm sick of just using loops! But if it contains different instruments then it may be worth my while. But I wouldn't want to pay more than 500 points if it can't import the files for listening on another platform... Listening to the music in the DSi music player would be be fine too, as long as it won't be program only!
Yaays, euro-exclusive! Good thing that frenchiz are developing the game! I'm still bummed over the Metalbox-free MP Trilogy... Why can't everyone just have the same exclusivs? Oh well, I guess it's one of the later steps when it comes to world wide equality.
The only thing I didn't like about myNotebook was that it was SO annoying to erase the text... I don't know if it was to make it be more realistic, but it took forever to erase something as big as a sentence! Free update maybe?
@thewiirocks You are absolutely right. Greenpeace really wants polluted air and the worst enviroment possible. And I am just one of their brain dead followers who share the same goals as they do... Nah. I just know for a fact that Apple Inc. among others have done incredibly much to decrease their enviromental impact since Greenpeace picked on them! As I said: It's the results that matter. GREENPEACE ARE ENVIROMENTAL TERRORISTS. They do illegal things for the sake of the enviroment, but it's not the actual act that gives the results, but shedding light on the subject. They inform people about what things corporations do wrong. And do you honestly believe they would have the power to do that without their extreme methods..?
@Dragoon One press of the + button and it takes mere seconds! But it's not that long, really... Well, that depends if you count the dialogue before you get to play. Then it might take almost 20 minutes. But it's really worth sitting through at least once, as it enhances the gameplay experience.
Oh please... Greenpeace may be climate terrorists and don't always have the facts on their side, but they get things done. Does anyone here seriously believe that electronics producers would try as hard as they do to get more enviromental friendly without Greenpeace shedding as much light as they do on the subject?! It's all about appearances, folks. The companies want to have an enviromental friendly appearance, and Greenpeace saying "this is a company that has our approval" is almost like the greatest enviromental reward ever! That=sales, and all companies want a share of those, so they try their best to. And eventually, we will end up in a world where console gaming will be the least of our climate changing worries!
@The Fox Way to tell of fanboys who can't deal with critisism against their favourite puppy-dog-innocent company. Right on.
Go Platinum games! I can't name one other game other than Mad World that is M rated, Wii exclusive and NOT a rail-shooter. Have a stab at it, somebody. YOU WILL NOT PREVAIL.
@she_gamer Play through the game quickly? Impossible, because it's just too long! But I guess everything is relative. I'm about to play the game a second time, just to get all stuff.
When one of my friends wanted to sell his old gamecube, he somehow ended up selling it to people in prison... I think that someone he knew was in there and so he had a contact. Yeah. But yes, rehabilitation is the best focus a prison can have. If you just treat them like crap and then relase them afterwards, do you think they'll change? If you catch an animal and beat it when it does something wrong, do you expect it to behave better when you set it free? Oh no. You should tell it when it does something wrong, and reward it when it does something right... Oh that's right: What did they do to deserve Wii?! I think only the prisoners who show signs of improvement should have such priveledges!
The kid looks like Susanos son. Probably is, too. The only thing that I was dissapointed with the first game was that you didn't get to explore the whole map. Hopefully this game will let you explore them, because then you can visit totally new areas but still be in the same world! This game will be my second must-have of the year. Not in second place, but sharing the number one spot!
@Bahamut Zero Agreed. Got the game for christmas and the last few days more than 50% of my time awake have went to play the game. Sure, I like Zelda, but this game simply blows away any Zelda experience I've ever had! It took me more than 45 hours to beat this game, and I still haven't done all sidequests or found every item... I couldn't be happier to find that the game can be replayed with most of your stuff being carried over! And carmic tranformations... Nice. And people who think this game is too easy obviously haven't tried to get all stray beads and do all sidequests! I think it will take quite a while before the disc will leave my Wii to give space for Metroid Prime Trilogy... Yepp, I'd rather play through Okami twice before playing MP Trilogy once!
I'm not planning to get any of those things, because I already have them or don't want them. Except foralready released mature games on the Wii I'm looking forward to Golden Sun DS and Okami Den this year!
I don't like railshooters that much, which I learned by playing Umbrella Chronicles. So I'll pass on all those titles. But I'm probably going to buy Madworld some time this year though, since you can get it for such a good price now. And Silent Hill Shattered memories is just looking to tempting to ignore! I think I'll get Modern Warfare Reflex too... So yeah, I expect that my Wii library will get one heck of an increase in mature games! Right now I have 15 games, 2 mature!
I haven't played the game, but since my chances of finding one of the arcade machines are slim to null, I guess this might be my best chance! BTW, how long does it take to play through the entire game (1 try per level)?
Nintendo - The mother of innovation. And some crazy poo as well. This seems like a little bit of both, but in time we will probably learn that it was actually just the first!
I thought so. But I honestly don't know how long this game is... o' 10 minutes? Half an hour? Anything bigger than 20 minutes I could definitely imagine compression as an issue!
Considering the resolution of the DS's screens, compressing it to a format that would look good on those wouldn't be a problem... And if people doubt the DS capabilities, then just check out Ninokuni. If there is anywhere to be doubting about DS capabilities it's for this game! If it would the game would look as good as in the trailers then it might just be the best looking DS title ever. So yeah, Dragons Lair would be a breeze for the DS compared to that.
I love Twilight Princess. And I wonder about the FPS rumors... It would be different yes, but good? Well, taking a third-person game and making it first-person has actually proved being a good idea by Fallout 3. That game's great. A Zelda FPS would probably be the only place Zelda could go without threading on familiar ground!
Looks decent, and even if shooting garbage IS important, where I live we have trash-pickups with metal, transparent glass, colored glass, paper packages, newspapers, organic material, burnable materials, landfill materials and plastic packages, all separately! Someone throw garbage at me if they can beat that... Oh, now I see how shooting garbage can be an important skill. Lock and load, hit me with your best shoot..! (Smack) Well done sir, well done...
I REALLY don't want "just" a Wii HD. I want a brand new console! Sure, the DS has been released in several versions, but the games you play have all looked the same and played the same. It's the same system. But releasing a Wii HD would be like releasing a Sega CD, but as a brand new console. Why not skip the BS and start planning ahead for the next generation? Lesson learned from Nintendo 64 CD?
The problem is that Wiis last for too long! Seriously, 2/3 people I know who've owned a PS3 got broken consoles in about 2 years... Now my Wii on the other hand may be sounding very loudly, but that's no big deal when you're immersed in the game, and it's only when it's reading discs - At least it works! Anyway, I think it's good that Nintendo are being put under a little pressure, because then they'll probably perform better, say updating the Wii. Remember their bad post-gamecube economy? And what came next? The DS.
I'm one of the suckers that fell for it... I now own Bit Trip Beat! Damn is it hard! :/ So far I've only beaten Transition... With the help of a friend!

Re: Reggie: Innovation Is Still Nintendo's Priority
