General Gaming / More news for PS3
« on: August 19, 2006, 08:35:27 AM »
Found this article at Gamespot. Has a couple of little things worth mentioning
PS3 Interview
Quote

I think that we've always talked about shipping 2 million units worldwide within the calendar year. Since we're going with three territories, we haven't really come up with an allocation just yet. But even if you do the simple math you're talking about less than 700,000 units per territory, per major territory, between launch and the end of the year. So even if there was some fluctuation--you give Japan more, you give the US more, what have you--you're going to end up with some shortages. So I think that if we've done our jobs right and if we've been able to really have the consumers become interested in this product, then, unfortunately, I think it's going to be very much of a challenge to be able to meet every single unit demand that's out there in the market.


Possible shortage...that's not good

Quote

We haven't started manufacturing yet. Some of our ops guys were actually just in China, and also in Japan just reviewing the [production] lines and everything else. But they are, again, preparing as we speak to get the manufacturing going. We've not announced and we haven't set really a specific date to say, "As of this day we're going to start manufacturing."


3 months to go...and no production yet

Quote

I do think that the old E3 was great at what is was designed to do perhaps 10 years ago. But as the industry evolved, and as the show became bigger and bigger, a lot of the member companies said, "You know what? We need to take a real hard look at what E3 brings as a benefit versus the cost to put on the show."


Sony killed E3

There were some positive things said in that interview...but I don't like the PS3...so I posted the negative

Nintendo Gaming / Reggie Fils-Aime's interview
« on: August 15, 2006, 08:40:07 AM »
USA Today

Confirms free online play (again) and talks about a few other things.

Quote

Q: How do you extend your online strategy to Wii?
A: It's the same premise. We will offer online-enabled games that the consumers will not have to pay a subscription fee for. They'll be able to enjoy that right out of the box. The Wii console is going to be Wi-Fi enabled, so essentially, you'll be able to plug it in and go. It won't have hidden fees or costs.

Quote

Q: Microsoft has made the comment that people can buy an Xbox 360 and Wii for about the same price as a PlayStation 3. Would you mind terribly if that happened?
A: I'd much rather have the consumer buy a Wii, some accessories, and a ton of games, vs. buying any of my competitor's products.

hahahaha
Quote

Q: Your background is in marketing. Without divulging competitive secrets, can you characterize your marketing plan?
A: It's going to be massive amounts of hands-on activity, as well as showcasing exactly how Wii games are different. We're going to create advocacy. We're going to make it so that everyone who tries the Wii experience talks to their friends and neighbors. It's going to be a really provocative sight to be seeing teens and 20-year-olds and 40-year-olds and 50-year-olds talking about how different this experience is.

Sounds good
Quote

Q: What can you tell us about timing and price?
A: We're well on our way to sharing all of that information with our retailers and our licensees. We'll be sharing that information publicly later on.

McGee: 'Wii is the only true next-gen console'

Pretty neat interview, seems he likes the wii a lot. Maybe we'll get Wii Alice!


Quote

"The only truly next-gen console out there is the Wii. Everything else is just a video card and processor upgrade."

Quote

I sense that Nintendo is going to capture the hearts of gamers while Microsoft and Sony stab each other in the neck for market domination. Nintendo is focused on innovation and games. The other guys are focused on making money."

Nintendo Gaming / Ed Boon talks about Wii

Mortal Kombat: Armageddon on Wii

Pretty neat interview. Check it out
Quote

I was wondering at the time what we would be able to substitute for the missing buttons. Remember, at the time of the original interview, I hadn't even touched a Wii controller. As far as doing something new, there are obviously a million new ideas that come to mind in working with what we now know as the Wii controller.

Quote

With that in mind, making our current iteration of MK with a new controller (with fewer button inputs) does impose challenges. But the new controller also opens up a sea of new possible ideas that could not have been considered with the traditional game-pad configuration. That is were the controller gets exciting from a developer's standpoint.

Quote

Unfortunately I can't confirm the use of any of the controllers at this time. But I can assure you that we are definitely going to look into all of the controller options available to the Wii. Wii would be crazy not to. Sorry, I couldn't resist. [Smiles]


He sounds pretty excited about Wii!

Nintendo Gaming / EA to focus more on DS
« on: August 11, 2006, 09:54:21 AM »
MCV: Sony must take Action

Quote

There’s no doubt that EA has historically bet more on PSP. I think we were excited by the technology, but the consumers have proven that actually what they want is fun. We must never forget that what we need to focus on is fun and so EA is putting more effort behind DS games – and creative ones that really take advantage of the hardware.


Another blow to the PSP and another bump up for the DS!

General Gaming / PS3 needs adapter to play saved PS1 and PS2 games..
« on: August 07, 2006, 11:38:42 AM »
Trusted Reviews

Quote

To use saved data on a PlayStation 2 memory card, you must copy the data onto a virtual memory card within the hard disk. This requires a PS2/PSone memory card adaptor to copy the data to your PLAYSTATION 3. A memory card adaptor is designed to edit, up/download game saves to and from EMS flash card or smart media card


Look like you'll still be able to play all the old games, but you will need the adapter to transfer the saved files over. Kinda sucks if you ask me.

Nintendo Gaming / DS to act as wii controller? new info
« on: August 07, 2006, 11:35:17 AM »
first the source Nintendo Gossip
Now the quotes.
Quote

Certain developers have received a new accessory from Nintendo. This accessory for the Nintendo DS goes in the GBA cartridge...You may remember Wario Ware: Twisted from Intelligent Systems, a game that uses the same type of movement sensor. The sensor registers movements the same way the cartridge did in Wario Ware: Twisted but when I played with the new sensor I got the feeling that it’s slightly better. This DS gyro-sensor doesn’t contain a rumble pak. Nintendo says they tried to fit a rumble pak in the cartridge but it would have made the cartridge too big.


Quote

One of the first games that will use this gyro-sensor is Tony Hawk Downhill Jam for the DS. You’ll have to tilt your DS from left to right to steer your skater down the hill. This will give us the feeling like we’re playing with our Nintendo Wii on the road. Other developers got great ideas when they heard about this new accessory but I can’t share them with you yet.


Quote

Games like Excite Truck and Tony Hawk Downhill Jam for Nintendo Wii will allow you to connect your Nintendo DS (lite) wireless with your Nintendo Wii. The DS will be used as a controller. Don’t expect too much of this feature since the gyro-sensor cartridge for the DS isn’t as accurate as the Wiimote.

Nintendo Gaming / Free Wii dev kits???
« on: July 29, 2006, 11:07:26 AM »
Source - Free dev kits

Quote

Just got word of an interesting (and totally unconfirmed) rumor from one of our insiders. It seems that Nintendo is giving Wii development kits to smaller studios. A developer in a big coastal American city apparently received a mysterious package from Nintendo. Office staff, programmers, and even the president weren't aware what was inside. The box was opened, and viola, Wii dev kit. This could be a ploy on Nintendo's part to get as many companies working on Wii games as possible. If this is true, it certainly shows Nintendo has improved its stance towards third party studios, as opposed to the iron-fisted days of yore. As I mentioned, this is totally unconfirmed, could've been some mix-up or miscommunication on the developer's end, but it does come from a good source. Do what you will with this tidbit

Nintendo Gaming / Raving Rabbids now exclusive!!

Source - Wii Exclusive

Quote

"It’s so different from the other consoles that we decided to reconsider everything…We believe in the Wii and building gameplay around the controller. So now we are designing Raving Rabbids specifically for the Wii. It’s not just an adaptation. It’s a very special project, because this is really a revolution for us. Now we have to focus on one version - the Wii version," said Michel Ancel.


Great news on many different levels!
