I wonder if Nintendo is regretting not having a hard drive if its going to have all these other entertainment services for the Wii. Than again, a video steam can be quite nice (RIP Stage 6).

Also, bleh on paying per content. I wonder if they will have a subscription option, and maybe tie such a thing with cable or satellite. That would be a neat bonus from a provider.

TalkBack / Re: Sega to Publish The Conduit

Hurrah! Finally a publisher. Now, lets hope the game rolls out nicely.

Hmm, it would be nice if Sega used their own network for the online of The Conduit. Friend codes are a hassle and would be counter to the fast-paced thrills of a shooter.

"The more things change, the more they stay the same," isn't it?

Gald to see that the ESA has realized that having a big show is a nice treat for the industry to have and that E3 2006 only needed a little toning down.

Hopefully, this game will be more than a (relatively) pretty face. So far, it sounds like it's on the right track.

Also, I do hope it does find a publisher soon. I wonder how much money High Voltage has to be this far along without a publisher. I hope that they aren't breaking their bank on this. Then again, if they were, it is an admirable effort.

Who ya gonna call!

Glad to see this was picked up after the Activision & Vivendi merger. I was and still am eager to see this turnout well.

Now, if only some one will save Brutal Legend.

The jinx is on! Will it come true when March 2009 arrives?

Anyway, I think top shelf game level voice over preformances can stand toe to toe with some live action counter parts.
(That's probably my bias getting the better of me.)

Ooo Hercules!
Don't quite understand the hoopla to say you have talent from Hollywood; the regulars at Bang Zoom! Studios and some other ADR places are from there as well.

Anyway, does this even have a publisher yet? I wonder if High Voltage broke their own bank a bit for the voice overs.

My only issue with MH3 is in a gameplay video the camera looked pretty horrendous. It looked like the person playing was struggling to keep it in the direction they wanted.

Indeed. I've had similar headaches with the PSP iterations. While the PSP ones had some fun, they also had many small frustrations (would it be too much to have a lock-on camera or see some monster health?). Looking at the MH3tri gameplay walkthroughs, it looks like they pretty much kept alot of the design from the PSP ones. A good and a bad thing, if you ask me.

Monster Hunter 3 looks beautiful. I wasn't expecting this much from it. Now, I wonder if the PSP fans will migrate over to the Wii?

Well, maybe the third time's the charm, Schadenfreude. I know such a thing is uncommon, rare even, in entertainment.

I hope they're not recycling content from the PSP to the Wii. That would be bad.

Well, this sounds like a trendy little thing. The camera resolution is a bit disappointing and I wonder if there will be MP3 support. I wouldn't mind transcoding a playlist for the DSi, but it would be more convenient if it supported MP3s and maybe other formats.

Shame about the lose of the GBA slot (What about Guitar Hero on tour D:), but I'm eager to see what DSWare will bring.

TalkBack / Re: New Nintendo DS Has Camera, Music Playback

« on: September 28, 2008, 03:57:31 AM »

Shot?! Whoa.

An mp3 player and a camera would be neat extras to have on a handheld device. Though, I would figure they would have a cellphone on standalone devices that would have those.

And while cellphone cameras may be excessive, I think it's always nice to have incase you see something interesting. Also, as long as it has enough megapixels. I don't know about others, but having anything lower 1.3 megapixels, even on extra feature camera, is just too small.

Oh hey, Acquire is back. Wonder if that will amount to much.

From what I've seen on the GameTrailers videos, the game looks okay. A bit simplistic, but lots of speedy kills.

Hmm... plans for an NA release? I guess there's not much licensing hassle then. I don't think many Tatsunoko properties made it to these shores.

Now, I wonder how it will control with the Gamecube pad or the Classic Controller. I wonder if we'll be seeing any interesting Remote+Nunchuk shinnanigins.

Eh... I hope any new product will introduce new characters rather than more franchise installments. Though, I wouldn't exactly mind a promising new Star Fox or another F-Zero game. Hey, maybe Kid Icarus Wii will become a reality!
