With the Wii being my main console I learned to not care so much about graphics and worry about the gameplay and controls.

That said, if I see a Wii game (especially a third party game) that looks and plays great I applaud the effort.

The problem with third parties on the Wii is that they downgrade their HD efforts very badly, making the game look really bad, and there's the chance the gameplay doesn't hold up as well as it should.

So once more, the reason we are going ga-ga over Overlord's visuals and gameplay is because this looks to be a well polished Wii game and the fact that its happening makes us very happy.

The Overlord seems a lot more spry in this one, but he feels a little less imposing for it. It's good to see that exploding haystacks don't wipe out your minions in this game, too.

I'm a little worried that this game, Little King's Story and the Pikmin (and possibly also Pikmin 2) Wii-make all coming out within a few months of each other might be too much of a good thing.

For not begin graphix w4or3s, you guys are sure putting a lot of emphasis on the visuals.

What's wrong with being a Wii 'graphix w4or3'?

Not necessarily. I just find it curious that when a game looks similar to something from a different console, everyone goes ape ****. I don't even see the point in comparing graphics. To me it seems like a superficial way to ramp up the value of the console you purchased. But hey, that's just me I guess.

When you can't play the game yet, you don't have much to go on when looking at impending games. What else can we go on other than pictures, videos and interviews.

Pikmin 1 will be out March 3rd if IGN is to be believed and do we even have a tentative date for #2? Is it even confirmed for US yet (I know its close to inevitable)?

The only competition that is assured will be King's Story if it doesn't get delayed again. 'Course, Pikmin 1 could go evergreen a la Mario Kart and steal everybody's sales.

Your first question has a simple answer: nothing. Nothing's wrong with being a graphix whore, it's just hypocritical if you aren't.

And secondly, I'm not talking about looking at pictures and videos to get an idea of a game. I'm talking about the 360 vs. Wii comparison. I just find them ridiculous. This whole nonsense that simply because a game looks comparable to 360 equates to developers giving a **** about the Wii,, thus we must drool over the game even though we have no idea about the outcome. It's obnoxiously retarded.

What's really fascinating is the perception. It's right here in this thread; jaded and almost vagrant.

Noone's saying the game is guaranteed to be good but that the chances are way higher than, say, the chances that a random Wii/PSP crossplatform game will be good.

The new videos up at IGN look pretty sweet. http://media.wii.ign.com/media/142/14273777/vids_1.html

I hear this game won't have the "evil mistress".

DARN.

That was guilty... umm... really guilty... pleasure in the first one...

This cover looks more wacky than the 360 game.

Does this remind anyone else of Boglins?

That sombrero unfortunately makes the game look like Overlord: Minions Party, but it does get across the minions' comedic nature pretty well.

Do you have a lot of things you need set on fire? A red one would be too dangerous. The green ones stink, so only the blue and brown ones are worth keeping as pets. It's too dry around here, so I could only keep a brown one. I wouldn't want to, personally, since the first thing he'd do would be to run into my kitchen and grab my biggest knife and put a pot on his head, and I'd never get them away from him.

OH GOD I REMEMBER THOSE!

I used to be both fascinated and disturbed by those creatures! They were very realistic and creepy.

Man I wish I had one of those right now...

So the next time I need you to do something I should just threaten to mail you a brown minion? I wanted the red one because it had that cool sombrero. Though it sounds like the blue one would be best for me because I live in a very rainy region (since you say it likes damp places).

Anyone seen the new Overlord trailer yet? You fight giant gingerbread men!

It's featured on IGN's Wii page. I'll get the link in a minute.

Here it is.

Whose bright idea was to put this up against Conduit on June 23rd? SENT TO DIE.
