I thought they showed that stepping mini game with 2 people playing. Maybe not though, I don't remember now.

WiiFit supports multiple players, it just isn't strong enough to support them all at the same time, at least, it isn't if they're Reggie's size.

Yeah, it seems one player at a time, but that's not a bad thing, IMO. They should let multiple people workout if you want to buy more Wii dance pads.

Uh, what? Did you not see Reggie VS Miyamoto in soccer-headbutting?

UncleBob · « **Reply #78 on:** July 11, 2007, 07:01:48 AM »

The Reggie vs. Miyamoto-san thing appeared to be taking place on two different Wii units.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #79 on:** July 11, 2007, 07:03:01 AM »

Ah, is that so? Didn't realize that...

stevey · « **Reply #80 on:** July 11, 2007, 07:03:03 AM »

It did, there clearly was 2 step bar in the trailer. Plus what was Reggie and Miyamoto doing then?

Kairon · « **Reply #81 on:** July 11, 2007, 07:03:24 AM »

So... Wireless Lan confirmed?

that Baby guy · « **Reply #82 on:** July 11, 2007, 07:04:48 AM »

Mrs. UncleBob should sell UncleBob's Faceball collection will he's busy seizuring it up.

UncleBob · « **Reply #83 on:** July 11, 2007, 07:10:11 AM »

I'm pretty sure Reg and Shiggy were on two different units. They used the same Balance Boards that the fitness trainers used eariler - which semmed to be connected to different Wii units as well.

Additionally, there didn't seem to be anything showing the opponent's score on your screen - which, if it were some kind of LAN, you'd think that would be there.

Just watch Wii Fitness out-sell Mario, Metroid, and Brawl combined. Don't underestimate the non-gamers and their big wallets.
I thought for sure we'd get an official announcement of a Wii Sports 2 or Wii Music though. I mean either would be a guaranteed HUGE seller among non-gamers who seem to love any game with the word "Wii" in the title.

I'm all for a new Warioware using the Balance Board but I'd rather not see it integrated into FPSs and other traditional titles. I mean there's nothing wrong with SITTING DOWN and playing a video game.

Stimutacs Addict · « **Reply #85 on:** July 11, 2007, 07:28:36 AM »

but you could play sitting down and just use them as pedals to take cover around corners

EXAMPLE: you are walking along the side of a building and plan on taking a right at the corner. apply some weight to the right side of the board and continue holding pressure. this will keep you close to the wall, mkay? when you want
to peek out, put your left foot down gently( like really gently if you drive an automobile you can relate )
to swing out swiftly, put some weight into it. your character will swing out
to release from the wall, lift your right toe/heel and you're free to go.

EDIT2: when i sit down and play to win, i always lean forward. i suppose then if they offered strafing through left/right foot pressure in an fps, i'd be all over that

Requiem · « **Reply #86 on:** July 11, 2007, 07:30:15 AM »

No doubt. I thought for sure they would announce WiiMusic!

BigJim · « **Reply #87 on:** July 11, 2007, 07:32:22 AM »

The first thing I thought of when they showed that zapper thing was "paintball gun." I wouldn't mind seeing a hardcore OR casual-type online paintball game. Could be fun.

Requiem · « **Reply #88 on:** July 11, 2007, 07:33:55 AM »

MiiPaintball!

I swear someone already had that idea.

Kairon · « **Reply #89 on:** July 11, 2007, 07:33:57 AM »

...I wonder if you could engineer the balance board to be bongos or drums...

NWR_pap64 · « **Reply #90 on:** July 11, 2007, 07:35:33 AM »

Ian's ramblings mean nothing to me now...Wii Fit looks like an AWESOME game! It could definitely be Wii Sports' successor if done right.

Requiem · « **Reply #91 on:** July 11, 2007, 07:36:42 AM »

What about a glider game like the one the HobGoblin uses in Spider-Man.

DK Bongo Blast - Bongos - GameCube + Wii - Waggle + Balance Board = new DK Racing game?

Mario Galaxy footage is out and can be found at GAF...Holy crap it's the most incredible game I've ever seen...They were somehow able to make the game look even MORE amazing...

well, there's a new Spiderman game coming out... Nintendo should nag Activison to add that option, because, you know, would be AWESOME...

Tightrope Wing Walker Extreme for Wii.

UncleBob · « **Reply #96 on:** July 11, 2007, 08:43:08 AM »

Okay, I just downloaded and re-watched the WiiFit video. It does not show *any* two player modes.

In fact, it shows a bit where one guy is playing the dance/step game while his wife (?) is standing beside him dancing about for no good reason.

WiiFit=Single Player?

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #97 on:** July 11, 2007, 10:12:58 AM »

Yeah the WiiFit Pad has tons of options and in game uses.

1)Realistic Snowboard/Skateboard controls.
2)FPS additional controls. Like put pressure to peak around corners.
3)Dance Pad
4)In combination with Wii Sports 2 something to allow manipulation of players and such.
5)Track and Field type games
6)Racing Gas and Brake controls
7)Mech robot controls along with the Wiimote and nunchuk.

ect, ect...

People that look at WiiFit and don't see the potential for great games saddens me because they have no imagination.

I'm glad somebody mentioned this. WiiFit and everything is nice and cool. Mario Kart Wii, that's cool. But this game. Seriously. This is the game that will push Wii up into the upper echelons with previous Nintendo consoles. I cannot express how purely excited I am for this game. It seems like the game I've been waiting for all my life. This sounds weird, but I've actually always wanted to play a game where you move across tiny individual planets (even before I read Le Petit Prince; I have a strange obsession with them), and aside from that pure conceptual notion all the details are incredible. My heart leapt when I saw Mario crossing the moving platforms with the geometric shapes cut out of them. It's a game I've envisioned playing since childhood, and it's finally here. I can't wait to sit down early one morning and spend all day playing it.

Requiem · « **Reply #99 on:** July 11, 2007, 10:45:14 AM »

So you busted a nut as well huh?

Anyway, Time Crisis IV better come out for the Wii now. They don't have to make any hardware for this to work perfectly. Come'on just announce it already!
