Nintendo Gaming / RE:Wii Third Party Domination
« on: November 28, 2006, 01:57:42 AM »
Oh no!  You're so evil.  Good point though!  Hopefully it means more than that.

Ubisoft did support GameCube, but it was basically the same old multiplatform support Ubisoft gives to any system.  We have two Ubisoft Wii exclusives already and at least one more coming, according to the press info.

Capcom and Konami have been pretty quiet.  I'm thinking we'll hear more from Capcom, Resident Evil is probably just the teaser, but who knows?

The third party future is still pretty murky for Wii, but since E3 I think there has been a definite trend of third party support moving towards Wii and Xbox 360 and away from PS3.

I added like everyone in that crappy non-gamer friend code list.  I might as well add Evan too.

Ceric knows how to meet a post projection, unlike that over-hyped Zach.

I just learned that Bill lives in Lithuania!  I'm going to add it to my diary as the new thing I learned to-day.

I do think a few of the older NES games are a bit overpriced, but then...don't buy them.  I hope Nintendo will adjust some prices later on, but I don't know if that's going to happen.  It probably depends on how the games sell.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Can anyone here make Miis correctly?
« on: November 27, 2006, 10:55:18 AM »
Maybe we should have like a "make a Mii for me" thread.  Post a photo, get a Mii!

Oh, I see now that the original poster was worried about scaling people correctly and whatnot...me, I'm not that worried about that.  I'd rather be playing Zelda than making sure my Miis are all to scale.  I took mid-size to be something like 5'6" and went from there.

But by that logic Gears of War doesn't deserve to be on the video either. Edit: video not list.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Report your "Nintendo Virus" sightings
« on: November 27, 2006, 10:43:31 AM »
My family digs Wii sports and my mom even told me to bring it to my Grandparents' place for Christmas.  I wish I could get my dad to play, he used to love video games but gave up after NES because the controller had too many buttons. I think he would like Wii but he's afraid of looking silly. :P

I heard Funky Dynamite was good, and supposedly Treasure was big on Genesis.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: AILive NEW (pretty cool) INFO
« on: November 27, 2006, 09:14:17 AM »
Another article about Live Move - it's an interview with one of the top guys at the company.  Apparently the tool can be liscenced to anyone (a collaboration with Sony may even be possible, but the guy really waffled on that one, I bet there's a limited-time exclusivity agreement).

Also, for anyone thinking this is just for rinky-dink developers without enough advanced programmers - Nintendo itself has used it to develop games.  Apparently the program applies the concepts of Artificial Intelligence to "learn" the various motions the developer inputs.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Everyone's talking about the Wii...
« on: November 27, 2006, 08:02:35 AM »
The game reviews are written for hardcore gamers.  As one guy put it in an article I read lately - the mainstream gamers use mainstream press for their news, because the gaming press is full of manchildren who talk on the level of hardcore gamers and nobody else.

Wow, thanks for that one, Bandai Namco get!  Yeah, I think Kingdom Hearts on Wii seems quite likely, given Nintendo's kid-friendly stance.

The Disney studio may not seem that important to a lot of people, but the point is to have the games.  I remember when there were new games based on Disney movies coming to PSX every year but never to N64, and even though I knew they weren't top-tier or anything, I was still a bit jealous.  Kids will care a lot.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: I need more than the 3 save slots Zelda provides
« on: November 27, 2006, 07:53:18 AM »
No, we just had to wait until we died to save (or possibly use some strange, poorly-documented combination of buttons.)

Didn't the TG 16 games show up a little late?  Hopefully there will be something by the end of the day.

There are videos all over YouTube, but they all require proof of age by login. Still shot of gaming excellence.

Happy late birthdays, guys!  I hired a woman to pop out of a cake, but I think she suffocated.

Well, everyone has different opinions.  One man's "par at best" is another man's awesome.  I'm sure a few people consider Wii Sports "par at best".

General Gaming / RE: Sony getting hit Hard lately
« on: November 27, 2006, 07:25:10 AM »
Yeah, that's true.  I've heard that the 360 DVDs are running a little low on space in some cases, I imagine a movie-intensive game like Final Fantasy XIII will use more than a double-layered DVD worth of space, but I think the "extra space" bullet point has been overplayed.

Yeah, everyone seems to forget Resistance.  It even came in second in Japan.

I thought it was going to be about citing sources when battling forum trolls.

Good news!  Frankly I have nobody to play against, so this has never bothered me, but it's nice someone else cared about the problem.

I do wish it was this easy, but as a Nintendo investor, I'm glad the company is going to make oodles of cash from all you double-game-buying suckers.  Personally I won't be re-buying anything, but I look forward to buying some games I missed.
