hmm, I doubt we'll see 2 bundled with 3, maybe a trilogy special edition like with Metroid? I'm not going to play 3 if I can't play pikmin2. And I'm not going to play the cube version when I know a wii version exists.
@brandonbwii, those are two exclusives but wii has also some multiplatforms coming up, and don't forget about games like Epic Mickey. I think there are quite a few still.
here you go: "Obviously, I'm not making games and I'm sure some software creators will note that with the roll of the eyes and claim that it's all too easy for me to bitch and moan from the backseat, or the sidelines, as it were. But playing the armchair role for a minute, it seems an unavoidable conclusion to me that Sony should have at least examined the very best genre-leaders on Nintendo's platform and then duplicated if not surpassed them with its own Move-controlled experiences. For instance, Medal of Honor, The Conduit and Red Steel 2 offer fantastic controls for first-person shooters. Anything less than these will be considered substandard by the informed masses -- at least those with knowledge of Wii's library. Unfortunately, Move doesn't yet compete. The company's shooter feels laggy and unresponsive as I attempt to gun down robotic targets. The boxing game is not one-to-one, but gestural-based, and slow. Nearly everything feels redone, but somehow half-baked. "
@slapshot82 - nope. it's exactly what i said. they're bashing it. did you read it?? they said exactly what i said. see forum topic too. look at sentences like "Most of the stuff played like first-generation Wii efforts from third-parties." move sucks. really badly. and earlier technical comparisons confirmed that the pointer is really slow because of spatial resolution problem. sorry mate.
At the end of the day, Sony's 'move' into the motion controller market = disgusting rip-off. I really wouldn't mind if Natal becomes such a huge success that it leaves the Wii trailing behind, but I hope so much to see Sony fail now.. this really pissed me off.
I do see the move failing thankfully. Contrary to some comments above, it looks like the Move is much less accurate than the wiimote. Obviously WM+ is better there's no question about that. The Move has serious lag, the pointer is slow and doesn't work correctly (this is due to the inferior spatial resolution of having the pseye camera - which is very dated btw). you can read all that in IGN and in other reports. Not to mention the design sucks, the buttons that weren't ripped off suck.. Looks like an epic fail.
@SatoriSatya - it doesn't matter if Nintendo's main focus is on gaming and Sony and Microsoft do a bunch of other things. No company can take huge losses over time. If PS3 is a failure then that gaming subsidiary will go bankrupt, and no other corporate entity of Sony will bail it out - why would they? Nintendo is a huge company, it's the 3rd most valuable company in Japan in terms of capitalization (MORE than Sony by quite a bit actually).
I think it's embarrassing to be a Sony fanboy after this ripoff. But I really think that Nintendo should sue over the not-nunchuk attachment. That's really embarrassing. In the long run it means no 3rd party wii exclusives, and it's kind of sad, but maybe also Wii will get some nice 3rd party efforts that would be made for the PS3 'move'.
looks like an awesome game. proves that all multiplatform games should be on the Wii. They're actually usually better than the other versions (Force Unleashed, Ghostbusters and others).
@Sabrewing - well I loved it. It's an on-rails game but you have nice movement, especially the 4th level took time to master, and it was like an arcade experience. One of the greatest PC star wars games ever, although TIE Fighter is more satisfying. I'd say it's the second best after TIE Fighter. Dark Forces was overrated.
@Ezekiel - that's just a simple matter of firmware update. the loading time is not in game anyway. Nintendo can and probably will at some point eliminate the size limit.
who cares. this looks awful. Wiiware has so much better stuff. I'm not going to waste any points on this garbage. Maybe 200 points. I'd rather save my points for all the awesome exclusive stuff, and there's a lot of that on Wiiware.
@madgear and Sabrewing - FMV? I don't really remember it that way. I had the game for the PC and played it with a Flightstick. it's basically on-rails but some episodes allow you to do much more. It was addictive and one of my favorite games at the time (1993-1995).
@Panda probably, initially, yes but Nintendo might make their own universal/LCD controller, and then Sony will want to take them to court, and Nintendo will say that it's not really a viable patent... Nintendo can win that.
@Panda - not really. Patents have to pass thresholds in order to be approved, and can also be challenged on those grounds even if they are approved. Sony's patent has to be novel, non obvious, useful, and if the idea can't work, it won't be a viable patent.
this sux... i like the Tetris I have, and i don't want to have a smaller online community for this game. also, wii speak should be for the wiiware one.
Super Mario Galaxy 2 will apparently have reduced story elements -WHaT??? why??? are they trying to get a lower metacritic score? SMG2 with proper story and proper additions to the gameplay has the potential of achieving 100. why ruin it?

Re: Miyamoto Confirms Pikmin 3
this has to be on the wii, it will suck if not, but they can make a DS version too. maybe to interact bla bla.
Re: Miyamoto Confirms Pikmin 3
i hope he realizes that pikmin 2 is not in NOA (for wii) and it's time to publish it

Re: Frobot GDC Trailer

Re: Reggie: Innovation Is Still Nintendo's Priority
so Move:
doesn't compete
laggy
unresponsive
gestural only
not 1:1
redone and half-baked
yay

Re: Mario & Sonic's Winter Olympics Outing Shifts 6M
Sega should now publish MadWorld2 !! They're rich because of Wii, time to be more bold.

one day Sony might make controllers for Nintendo. and some games. like Sega.
