Topic: Gamestop Christmas Meeting Update

[bustin98]

So my buddy who is a manager for Gamestop gave me some impressions of the Wii.

Overall, its awesome.

Zelda is going to be game of the year, hands down.
Mario is up there but with one small level to play is hard to fully judge.
Metroid is made easier but more of the same.
Red Steel is difficult because you need to hold both controllers up at the same time through out most of the game. I guess you need to have them up to have your weapon drawn (he didn't elaborate)

He didn't mention other games by name, but they played on 50 inch plasma screens, 100 systems were setup, everything was sweet as pie. I'm very jealous. Plus, he won an internal contest and won one of the first Wii's off the production line (10 winners). Then one of them get to win a plasma tv.

Tonight is Xbox, tomorrow is Sony. He's looking forward to God of War 2 and Gears of War.

Awesome.  I never got why God of War 2 wasn't a PS3 launch title.

Yeah, GoW2 seems like it should have been on PS3, but to Sony's credit, PS2 stands to rake in plenty of cash for the company yet.

Did this guy even play the Wii at all or are these just assumtions.

I don't think I'd be all that inclined to post if he wasn't actually playing the system.
