General Gaming / IGA leaves Konami
« on: March 17, 2014, 03:26:05 PM »
Looks like he finally got tired of being the overnight janitor.

http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/03/17/castlevania-producer-koji-igarashi-leaves-konami


Since he's making his own studio, I wonder if Nintendo would contact him to make a new 2D Metroid.  Good Feel is made of ex-Konami employees and Nintendo got them to make Wario Land and then they went on to make Epic Yarn.  Considering IGA has a lot of experience at making Metriod style games, and he's a well known Japanese developer so Nintendo would know about his talents, could make this a real possibility.

Nintendo Gaming / GDC 2011 Discussion

So yeah, Iwata gives his speech tomarrow and Nintendo will be showing the webcast.
 
http://gdc2011.nintendo.com/
 
Back in 2005, Iwata showed a new trailer for Twilight Princess at GDC.  In 2007 he revealed Phantom Hourglass and in 2009 he revealed Spirit Tracks.  If history is to repeat itself which it more then likely will, we're do for a new Skyward Sword trailer.  So yeah, time to get hyped.

Hopefully Tecmo doesn't make this one a bug filled mess like they did with Fatal Frame 4 so Nintendo will actually allow it's release outside of Japan this time.

Nintendo Gaming / Dragon Ball: Revenge of King Piccolo
« on: July 01, 2009, 03:52:09 PM »
In case anyone hasn't heard, this is a 2.5D Platformer based on the original Dragon Ball.  From the recent trailer, it actually looks pretty decent.

Nice to see them giving the original Dragon Ball some love every once and a while.

Nintendo Gaming / Could this be a future Castlevania game for Wii?
« on: February 19, 2009, 06:31:53 PM »
Well with all the talk about lightgun games these days, here's something for you all to think about.

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/45716.html

This is a trailer to a recent Castlevania Arcade game in Japan.  Even though it's only in the arcades right now, how much do you want to bet it'll be ported to the Wii sometime in the future.

So, announcement at E3 or are we going to have to wait until the October conference?  Or maybe sometime in between?

Nintendo Gaming / Tatsunoko vs Capcom confirmed for Wii
« on: September 17, 2008, 08:22:50 PM »
According to the latest Famitsu, Tatsunoko vs Capcom is indeed coming to the Wii and right now is exclusive for the system as well.
http://videogamerx.gamedonga.co.kr/zbxe/files/attach/images/699943/681/984/18.jpg

The release date is set for December 11th in Japan.  Looks like it's time to start modding or investing in a Japanese Wii because this game will never come to America thanks to the licensing hell Capcom would have to go through.

Nintendo Gaming / The House of the Dead: Overkill
« on: August 18, 2008, 01:29:29 PM »
http://www.gamekyo.com/news28607_sega-to-reveal-a-new-wii-title-tomorrow.html

The good news, it's being developed by Headstrong Games (formally known as Kuju), the same people that did the two Battalion Wars games.  So we know there's a big chance of it being actually good.

Ubisoft has announced that it will launch a new Wii exclusive party-games range under the "Play Zone" label.

"With our new Play Zone party titles, the Wii gamers who like to spend time with friends and family will have fun with the Wii through innovative and involving mini-games," said Ubisoft's EMEA Marketing Director John Parkes.

"The Play Zone label will provide them with the best games to mingle and compete together in a fun and friendly atmosphere."

The first game released under the Play Zone label will be Sports Party - a collection of 9 sports mini-games that can be played head-to-head or cooperatively on three levels of difficulty. The game will be released on July 11.

And here's a preview of the first game.

Nice to see Ubisoft is still making the most out of their N64 development kits.

Well now I finally got Brawl hooked up Online and ready to go.

1633-5292-6313

I posted in the Official Friend Code topic but I don't think anyone even checks that anymore.  And unlike Mario Kart where I posted my code and then was away from my Wii for 2 weeks, this time I'm here to stay.

General Gaming / Wow, Capcom fails again.
« on: October 15, 2007, 01:50:47 PM »
Bionic Commando announced for the XBox 360, PS3 and PC

Ok, this was one of Capcom's series that would have worked perfectly on the Wii.  Since the games revolves heavily around using a grappling hook the Wiimote would have done wonders to the game.

Well maybe when this game bombs bad enough which it probably will Capcom might finally learn..... oh wait nevermind.  This is the company that still wont bring Okami to the Wii even though the Wii is the system that would also work perfectly for the game and might actually get the game good sales.  Instead Capcom just wants to leave the game dead after it's horrible failure that everyone predicted would happen on the PS2.

Like I've said before, Capcom and Sega are the videogame equivalent to Dumb and Dumber.  Except every couple months they switch between the role of Dumber.

Nintendo Gaming / Smash Bros Brawl will be playable at E For All!!!

OMG OMG OMG, that's only one week away.  This means we'll finally see who all the starting characters will be not to mention see the game in action.

To bad in a part of the country far away from the event.  If only there was someway to get there because I'd do anything.

Sell my body, no problem

Kill a man, just tell me who

I want to play this game so badly I easily do the above in a heartbeat.

Nintendo Gaming / Nintendo Power to have a preview in next issue!
« on: September 29, 2007, 10:12:18 AM »
I'm surprised no one's mentioned this yet.  I recently got the newest Nintendo Power and at the end it said in the next issue they'll have a hands on preview of Smash Bros Brawl.  This is great since it means Sakurai has no problems with letting publications finally preview the game now.  If Nintendo Power is being allowed to play it, then I'm sure other magazines and websites will as well.

Plus with the media being allowed to play it, this means we should be seeing what all the features available from the start soon.  I'm guessing in October, Sakurai will start doing more double and triple updates each week because I doubt he'd allow anyone to reveal too much new info before he does.

Nintendo Gaming / Wait a sec, Nintendo's holding a conference tomorrow?
« on: September 04, 2007, 07:29:52 AM »
Nintendo holds conference before TGS, third parties as well.

Well I had no idea.  I wonder if this is when they'll reveal that suprise Reggie said we'd see before the end of September.

General Gaming / Microsoft showing their true colors once again.
« on: June 17, 2007, 11:34:13 PM »
Microsoft spends $50 million dollars on exclusive GTA4 content.

If this doesn't prove to people that Microsoft is hell bent on monopolizing the videogame industry then nothing will.  If they are willing to go to such lengths just to have the better version of a game then what's to stop them in the future from spending billions to just buy as many third parties as possible so their competitors have little to no support?

Microsoft strategy is all about them becoming number one, but since they were owned by the PS2 last gen and are having their asses handed to them by the Wii this gen, eventually Microsoft will just say "f*ck it" and resort to what they know best.  Destroying their competition by buying out everything in sight.

Sega expects PS3 to win this Gen


I'm wondering if Sega's seen the recent NPD data

Wii - 338,278
360 - 154,932
PS3 - 81,604

Or how about last weeks Media Create Hardware sales

Wii - 64,529
PS3 -  8,776

You know what, I get the feeling that all there is inside Sega headquarters is a giant crater, and all the employees do each day is throw as much money as they can into it.  That's why Sega is literally, a giant money pit.

This is from an interview in the recent Play magazine.

Quote

Play: I know you have great affection for the original PC Engine Dracula X: Rondo of Blood, and you've talked about letting Western fans have the chance to play it for a long time. Why now, and why PSP?

IGA: I had often been told people wanted a Castlevania on PSP, long before this project began. The traditional Castlevania user base is somewhat older and more mature, so within the company it had often been suggested PSP might be a better idea than DS. When work began on the PSP version, we realized drawing pixel art at that resolution would be very difficult, and I knew the desire for a 3-D Castlevania with 2-D gameplay was there. Since that approach would be technically possible on PSP, I thought the timing was finally right for Rondo of Blood.

Text

Oh and your all going to love what he says about Ayami Kojima returning for the artwork.

Quote


Play: Something a lot of fans are happy about is the return of character designer Ayami Kojima to the series. Why the return to her more mature designs after two installments of the series that favored an anime look?

IGA: Well, the character designs for the original Rondo of Blood got a very mixed reception. You could say most of the opinions were not favorable. Since this game also contains Symphony of the Night, which Kojima designed and was very well received, I wanted to unify the aesthetic of the two games. I truly believe that even if the look changes, as long as we stay true to the Castlevania gameplay itself our core fans won't abandon us. I think that was the case with the DS games. However, the PSP owner tends to be a little older and thus probably more appreciative of Kojima's designs.

Play: So it's mainly a question of target age groups?

IGA: To be honest I've been told by some younger people that they think Kojima's designs are a little scary [laughs]. I think adults can appreciate them, of course, but for younger DS users it can be a little off-putting.




So what exactly is IGA going to say when this game bombs horribly like every other 2d PSP game.  Will he finally realize that the people that have been buying the Castlevania games for the GBA and DS ARE the traditional older fanbase because we're the only ones that still care about the series these days.  It it that hard for him and others to acknowledge the fact that a lot of DS owners are *gasp* Adults as well?

Here's the all the scans I found on a topic at Gamefaqs for anyone that wants to read the full interview.

General Gaming / Keiji Inafune wants to make Megaman Legends 3
« on: June 01, 2007, 12:25:00 PM »
Mega Man Creator Dreams of Next-Gen Mega Man

Of course he wants to use the Dead Rising and Lost Planet Engine which means he'd wants the game to be on the Xbox 360 or PS3 if it was to ever be created.  Which would be the dumbest decision in the world because PS3/360 owner don't care about Megaman and would cause the game to bomb horrible.  Which would cause Capcom to never even think about the Legends series ever again.  Of course if he was to release it on the Wii it has a chance of actually selling well which could allow the series to be revived.

Damn, you'd think after last gen when all the Megaman games sold better on Nintendo systems, Inafune would have learned that most Megaman fans are also Nintendo fans and so Megaman games will sell the best on Nintendo systems.  Plus there's a reason right now Capcom is allowing a sequel to ZX and not the remakes, because ZX on the DS sold well while the remakes on the PSP did beyond horrible.

What will it take for this guy to finally get the message that the Megaman fanbase is with Nintendo?

Watch this video

- Total of 12 captains, eight of them are old with four new one
- Total of 8 sidekicks (The new ones are Boo, Shyguy, Drybones and Monty Mole)
- Total of 16 stadiums, nine of them are new
- Each stadium has unique events that happen during the match
- New single player modes include Road to the Striker Cup and Striker Challenges
- Each character has their own unique soundtracks
- Motion controls are only used for hitting and Mega Strikes

And here's what everyone's been waiting for, the Online play.

- Comprised of ranked and unranked matches
- There'll be a Season based leaderboard system that will be 3 months in length.
- You can do 1 vs 1 or 2 vs 2 online matches (2 vs 2 is two people on one Wii playing 2 people on another)
- Unranked matches can do 3 vs 1 (3 people on one Wii playing only 1 person on another)
- Unranked matches can be setup with special parameters
- Unranked matches are the only ones that us Friend Codes
- Ranked matches takes overal records into account and pairs similar players together
- Positive scoring system is in place where you recieve points for winning and the amount of goals you score.  You also gets points if you lose, just alot less then if you would have won)
- If you disconnect then you lose points
- Multiple leaderboards are in place, they are Season Leaderboard, Friends Leaderboard and Striker of the Day Leaderboard.
- Striker of the Day is where the player who gets the most rank points in one day will be featured on everyone who's playing Strikers Wii.  Plus it's updated by the minute so the leader should change often.


Wow, I never thought I'd be getting excited over a Soccer game.  The original never really got my attention but this one seems to have hit the spot.  Plus if this is what Stikers online has to offer, I can't wait to see what Smash Bros and Mario Kart's will end up like.

General Gaming / Looks like Capcom still hates money.

Capcom release chart for early 2007

In early 2007 Capcom will be releasing this many titles on each system.

PS2 - 33
PSP - 21
DS - 10
XBox360 - 6
PS3 - 3
GBA - 2
XBox - 1
PC - 1
Wii - 0

So even after the DS has had one of the most successful years in the history of gaming, Capcom is still giving more support to the PSP.  Nice to see the company is still being run my monkeys.

Wait, actually I think a monkey would run Capcom better then the people who are really making the decisions.

General Chat / Anyone else decided to stop looking for a Wii this year?
« on: December 12, 2006, 11:46:56 AM »
Well after finally having a way to afford a Wii again, I'm back to the problem of not being able to find any.  The local Best Buy says they'll only be getting one more shipment before Christmas and Gamestop says they recieve one shipment every week.  The problem is they dont know what day the shipment arrives and it could come anytime between 8:30 in the morning to 4:30 in the afternoon, and those shipments usally sell out in less then an hour.  And it's the same thing with every other store around here.

Plus there's the fact that I badly want to play Zelda and have been trying my hardest to avoid spoilers.  Even though I want the Wii version more then the Gamecube version, just the fact that I can't find a Wii has been making the Gamecube version look more attractive these last few days.  Well now that the Gamecube version was released I've decided I can't wait any longer and so I bought the Gamecube version today and decided I'll buy the Wii when the system is widely available sometime in the Spring along with the Wii version of Zelda and Wario Ware.

My love of Zelda is what was going to make me buy a Wii this year, but now my love of Zelda is the reason why I've finally given up on buying one this year.  Kind of funny how that turns out, isn't it.

25
I just visited Gamefaqs and damn, it's like a warzone with spoilers on all the different boards.  I've heard from other sources that other websites are the same way.  It seems someone who got an early copy of Twilight Princess forget that they're not allowed to say anything about what happens after the second dungeon and they've revealed a very major spoiler that's all over now.

Even though I'm not bothered too much by spoilers I know a lot of people are and so I'm trying to warn anyone that checks a lot of message boards that a very major spoiler is out right now.  So be very carefull.
