General Gaming / Perfect Dark XBLA

« on: June 03, 2009, 09:04:35 PM »

Accoding to IGN PD will be released in the NA winter in 1080p. Apparently it is otherwise a straight port.
IGN report


EDIT 9/6: Pefect Dark may not be a vanilla port after all. Electric Theatre says that:
- the dev studio (4J Studios) is the one responsible for the Banjo-Kazooie port on 360
- they are going to convert the game to 1080p
- improve the frame rate
- redo some of the textures
- Online Multiplayer for 4 players
- split screen co-op play (retained from the original)
      - not confirmed whether there is online co-op

Nintendo Gaming / Wii Freeloader

« on: February 29, 2008, 09:01:40 AM »

The Freeloader is now available on Wii! Apparently it can be ordered online through Codejunkies official site (although I can't access the site for some reason). However as it is made by a UK based company I would assume that the freeloader disk itself is region locked to PAL. I also wonder how long it is until Nintendo renders the disk inoperable by way of a system update?  I would dearly love to get one as the GC version allowed me to play so many US/JPN games that I never would have considered otherwise and it is listed at around 10 pounds which is great value.

Nintendo Gaming / Possible PAL launch 'window'

« on: February 25, 2008, 05:41:46 PM »

Apparently in an interview Reggie said that Europe would get Brawl in autumn 08 due to production difficulties. This is also why Wii Fit and Mario Kart are being released earlier in Europe. So it seems that getting two games a week or so early is supposed to compensate for a 6 month delay, yep seems par for the course. I'm sorry but if Microsoft could get Halo 3 out simultaneously around the world then Nintendo should be able to do a better job then this.

Nintendo Gaming / AU Medal of Honour: Heroes

« on: February 06, 2008, 10:52:42 PM »

So the Australian PAL version of Medal of Honour was released today and apparently the 32 player online multiplayer has been removed (along with all traces of multiplayer). Good work EA, delay the game for 3 months and strip the most important feature of the title. There was no specific mention of the removal before the game went on sale.

Apparently the manual still refers to the multiplayer mode as does a joint Nintendo/ EA competition.  

Edit: EU version seems to retain online.

Nintendo Gaming / Excite Truck and Australia

« on: November 03, 2006, 11:31:11 PM »

Looking through the recent updates on NAL's site it seems as though Excite Truck is not going to be a launch title here. (Unless I'm blind) Furthermore it doesn't appear on DVDCrave's release schedule either. AFAIK its going to be at the US launch, so what's going on downunder? PAL launch or not?

General Gaming / XBOX Live Arcade Poker

« on: August 20, 2006, 02:37:51 AM »

A heads up, the Live Arcade Poker game on 360 is free for 48 hours after release on this Wednesday. Otherwise you'll have to pay 800 MS points. Should be a good timewaster.
