The game does have a calibration setting that lets you aim without the recticle like Ghost Squad. However, it's supposed to be an improved, more accurate setup than GS.

Graphics, I don't see what people are fussing about, looks about the same to me. I don't expect it to look exactly the same anyway, afterall in the case of HoTD3 it is being converted from nVidia shader model 1 to Wii's TEV units. From what I understand it actually runs 60fps like it's supposed to, though that could be attributed to not having the physics engine that GS used.

The only review I found was IGN. I don't understand how $30 is too much for two arcade games? It seems they have the impression that everyone has a Dreamcast, Xbox, or a still functioning arcade to play them instead. (I have none) I'm still holding off to purchase until I read impressions from some where else (hopefully someone on this forum). Plus I'm still deeply into Brawl.

If $30 is too much for HOTD, then $60 is too much for the PS3 version of The Orange Box. I do like the fact that magazines are complaining that $30 is too much for a video game, though. Thank you, Nintendo.

It's all Shifty's fault.

I probably should buy this game at $30... but... *sigh* I'm trying to be more fiscally responsible.

Is there anyone playing anything BUT Brawl right now? Who gives a sh*t about other games when everyone *the best game ever is out there waiting to be picked up?

*This is subjective and may vary from person to person

optimisticlimbo · « **Reply #33 on:** March 13, 2008, 10:18:35 PM »

I really want this game, but with Brawl, I just don't have the time yet. I'm sure it'll still be around in a couple weeks when I can actually enjoy it.

Yeah, weeks...Good luck with that.

I promise I will get Brawl I mean I really will, but I don't have time for it or money right now, but a short, $30 game is a lot easier to justify under my current circumstances.

If people are planing to get it they should buy it even if they know their not going to get to it for a bit.

I don't know what developers are think when they release a game so close to Smash Bros. But if we don't continue to support 3rd parties even with Smash out it might push them away from Nintendo again.

I'm going to be picking it up if we still have a copy at the store.

Come on people Support 3rd Parties!!!!

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #37 on:** March 14, 2008, 01:53:05 PM »

ahahaahah dream on

with Smash Bros. out, 3rd parties won't hesitate to abandon ship. If fact, even 1st party titles other than Smash will drop off with a thud.

darknight06 · « **Reply #38 on:** March 14, 2008, 05:12:55 PM »

Third parties support themselves, damn I miss the days crap like this didn't matter.

what was different that made that not possible now? Just competition? I'm authentically curious.

I'm right there with you CapAmerica! Supoort third parties!

Actually, despite my very drastic cuts in my third-party budget, I've still got a very full third-party dance card for this month. It sorta pains me that I can't bring myself to buy this tasty tasty $30 treat, but in the month of March I'm already committed to multiple third party games, including Okami and FF:CC RoF.

Kairon you do know that Okami comes out in April right? HOD came in the mail today and its pretty cool, I tried it with the Zapper and Wii remote and both function well but I like using the Zapper for the light gun feel (I can't justify myself to buy the Nyko lightgun since 15 bucks is too much for it). The calibration is awesome if you were wondering.

Yeah, believe me, House of the Dead 2 & 3 are right at the top of my "Wish I could buy list." But I've got my budget mapped out till the end of June and I really can't afford this game if I'm going to do the other stuff that I want to do in that time.

But... maybe I can convince my younger brother to buy the game. I bought Ghost Squad, maybe he'll reciprocate by purchasing this one for the two of us.

There's a problem with that, Cap. This is NWR we are talking about. Most people here would prefer their teeth pulled by a 4 year old using a rusty hammer than play a third party game on the Wii, no matter how fantastic it is...

You can always go cheapassgamer mode and wait till the 3rd party games get cheaper and then snatch those games then. I got Ghost Squad when it was 19.99 on Amazon. It will help out your budget in the long run. And plus I think you usually go buyer happy on games so maybe its a good time to sift through that backlog that you potentially built up

Haha. What's this I hear? Reason? Gaaaaaarrrnnn.

Run a few of these "fantastic" games by and I'll respond to them accordingly.

You could also sign up for Amazon Associates and then earn free credits to buy games latter on, that's the only way I spend money on Amazon. You do have a blog or something that people read don't you?

No, I hates the internet.

Seriously though, I'll figure out a way to buy this game. Just uh... I'll have to think laterally a bit. Like begging my brother.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #49 on:** March 17, 2008, 03:00:03 PM »

Confirmed: House of the Dead 2 and 3 Return kicks ass. I got it the other day, it's very nice to be able to play these games as they were meant (basically anyway) to be played again.
