I'm starting to wonder if there is more of a reason this game wasn't released in North America than simply it being unpopular...

Would there even be any functional difference between a D-pad with 8 sensors and one with 4? It doesn't seem like there would be.
Holy crapballs. How does one even play that many hours of Mario Kart Wii. There's not THAT much depth to the game, seriously. Wow.
Color me impressed. VERY impressed.
PAX Prime is quickly approaching, and as always, there is certain to be a booth selling hundreds of retro games and consoles, all refurbished and working once again. I realize that in the long run, Virtual Console would be cheaper, but I do not have a Wii and will probably never get one unless I buy it from one of my friends for much less than retail price.
So, if we look at my statement there, what I am claiming is that I don't expect this game to feature any mechanics that make it one of the best RPGs available. That is probably a safe assumption. Combine that with the fact that I don't have the time to play every RPG out there... In fact, I don't have the time to play 5% of the games out there... when looking at two games that have equally rewarding mechanics, one of which looks substantially better, and I own every system already... why on earth would I pick up the Wii one.
If you call that the SOLE BASIS of visuals, whatever.
It's also OK if you think I have it out for Nintendo for some reason.
Honestly... one of us needs to grow up here.
I'm confident that Wii screenshot is wildly enhanced.
Because obviously the Wii is more powerful than the PS3. You proved it.
There's nothing wrong with only owning a Wii (of current gen). It's just a fact that if you do own one of the HD consoles and are looking for an RPG, you can most likely find an (at least) equally as good game that looks infinitely better graphically.
That's why I doubt I'll be picking this game up any time soon (possibly ever).
No fences, but discussing one's opinion about the graphics of a game definitely belongs in this thread.

Do videogame companies ever read reviews or make an effort to figure out what fans think of their games?
Right now I consider the DS touchscreen and Wii motion control as shallow novelties at best and outright control hindrances at worst.
I see Mario, Metroid, Donkey Kong, Kirby and Zelda. How are these fresh or new? Practice what you preach!
They've also gone out of their way to market the Wii as casual-focused grandma console, and third parties are unsure if their games that don't target this market (ie: their GOOD games) will find an audience on the Wii.
The game setting is a near-future war between US and Russia. By setting it in the future, Mikami can use robots and high tech stuff to make the game more interesting. He says the reason why the enemies are all robots is because he wants to allow players who do not like shooting other humans to be able to play and appreciate the gameplay in shooters as well. The mech suit features a high speed booster which allows you to very quickly boost next to enemies to pull off close range attacks. There are a large variety of close range attacks moves in the game. There is a balance between using cover and using the boost, but it is definitely not a pure cover shooter. You do not pick up and change weapons in the game, instead your weaponry is part of the suit and it all transforms in realtime into different sorts of weapons. The game is about 80% complete, and they're working on refining the AI for both allies and enemies at the moment. There is a demo planned, and the game will be released in winter 2010.
Most of Nintendo's franchises wouldn't really benefit from orchestrated music. Galaxy does. Zelda certainly would. Maybe Fire Emblem would, and I suppose it would be fun in a tongue-in-cheek sort of way to use it in Star Fox. Apart from that, it doesn't come close to justifying the immense costs involved.
Whatever Sony's doing with the PSN, it's effectively bricked non-Slim PS3 models like mine since we can't access any PS3 games. I'm not personally screwed so badly since I can still play PS2 and PS1 games on the thing (in fact, I'm playing Grandia for the first time as I type this), but this really angers me. Did they really not bother to test this server update with the older PS3 models, and what does this mean for the day the Playstation Network eventually goes down for good?
