General Gaming / RE: Sony getting hit Hard lately

So, how long until Sony fires Ken for losing them billions of dollars and ruining the only market that's making them money?

Actually this one might finally come over here since Mario is in it.  I'd think Nintendo themselves might even publish it here in America.  With Mario in the game Nintendo knows it'll sell well so I'm sure this one will make it.

Dont worry, they'll be a Pikmin 3 down the road.  The series was a success for Nintendo since both games were able to sell over a million copies each worldwide.  So there's no reason for them to stop since the series is a good seller.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Suda's HEROES First Footage!
« on: September 23, 2006, 10:37:29 PM »
The difference is the first Metal Gear Solid, Half-Life, Resident Evil and Halo all sold in the millions and were popular from the start.  Killer 7 has only sold around 100,000 worldwide with both the Gamecube and PS2 versions combined, and is only known by us gamers here on the internet.  The rest of the gaming world has no idea what the game was.

This is why Hereos is going to have a hard time archieving huge sales since right now it's a game that appeals to a niche market.  Unless Suda can somehow get Nintendo to help with the marketing of the game which I dont see happening, the game has no chance of mass market appeal.

If that story is indeed true then Sony has reached a new level of low.  You'll be forced to spend hundreds of dollars just to unlock most of the content in just one game.

Oh they better not be expecting sales to ACTUALLY hit 1 million or else they're going to be very disapointed.  Even if the gameplay is amazing, this type of game will still only sell to a smaller audience.  Unless they have a huge Multi-million dollar marketing campaign with ads in every type of media, which I dont see happening.

I think a game like this selling around 300,000 copies would be more accurate if it's a success, and alot better then Killer 7 did.

That's not the final box art.  It's just one of those preview display boxes where they take some of the offical artwork and put it on a box.

TalkBack / RE: SNK Adds Another Metal Slug to Wii Collection
« on: September 22, 2006, 02:28:25 PM »
Oh I want this game more then ever right now.  I've decided that this and Zelda are going to be the two games I buy at launch.  Hopefully if the sales for this game are good enough they'll give us a collection of other SNK arcade games.

Oh so then Wii's in North America will be able to play Japanese games.  But will they be able to download old Japan only games on the Virtual Console from Japan?

Wait so then this means we wont be able to download Japanese games off the Virtual Console as well then.  That makes no since, why would Nintendo not allow people to download Virtual Console games from anywhere in the world.  It only makes them more money by allowing gamers from the rest of the world to download some of the many games they only released in Japan.

But does this mean if I import a Japanese Wii, I'll be able to download Japanese only games off the Virtual Console.  Because one way or another I'm going to get Fire Emblem Thracia 776 when it appears on the Virtual Console.  Nintendo's not going to keep me from finally getting to play that game.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Jill Valentine To Return In Resident Evil Wii!?!
« on: September 14, 2006, 07:20:45 AM »
I'm pretty sure it'll just be the main parts of each game remade, not the entire game.  But just being able to replay some of the area's from the older games with RE4's controls is a dream come true for me.

« on: September 14, 2006, 07:03:08 AM »
OMG this is the latest info.  This game has definatly jumped up on my most wanted list now.

-The game consists of 4 "chapters", RE1's mansion, RE2's RPD, RE3's city areas and RE4's village (plus surrounding areas).
-Each chapter has 2 characters to choose from. RE1 has Jill and Chris, RE2 has Leon and Claire, RE3 has Jill and Carlos and RE4 has Leon and Ada.
-There are several characters that can be unlocked by playing through the game: Rebecca Chambers, Hunk and Albert Wesker.
-The gameplay of all chapters is designed around RE4's. Press the B trigger on the wiimote to go into over-the-shoulder view, aim with the pointer and press A to fire.
-The game will have QTEs, but rather than push buttons you have to make motions with the wiimote in order to get through them.
-All characters will have mêlée attacks, just like RE4.
-To encourage replayablility, each character has strengths and weaknesses, similar to how in RE4:Mercenaries Ada had the least health, Krauser was the slowest, etc.
-Just like in RE4:Mercenaries each character has a unique set of weapons. What's more players can only carry 2 weapons at any one time. Chris gets a pistol and shotgun whilst Jill gets a pistol and grenade launcher.
-You will be able to find several new weapons during each stage. For example, RE1 will have Richard's shotgun, RE2 will have the Desert Eagle, RE4 will have the Chicago Typewriter. There will also be new weapons like Krauser's anti-personnel robots.
-Similar to Devil May Cry 3, after each chapter you can save your data and any new weapons picked up will be available for use in Arcade Mode.
-Arcade Mode is like a giant Mercenaries minigame, where you pick a character and stage and blast through it. Building on the resounding success of Mercenaries seen when RE4 was released.
-Scenario mode will feature a large number of ingame cutscenes.
-New content not in the games that the chapters were based on will be added. The primary goal of this will be to link RE4 and Umbrella's status in it more closely with the rest of the series.
-Ammo conservation will play a part in the gameplay, so it's not just constant action like RE4.
-Trailer coming at TGS.

The Zelda footage was freakin sweet.  Plus the Resident Evil footage shows the mansion from REmake.  And the recent info on Resident Evil Wii has said it will play similar to RE4, meaning we should be able to play in the mansion of REmake with the controls of RE4.  Along with area's from RE2, RE3 and Code Veronica with RE4 controls as well.

There really must be a God because my dream just came true.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: From Seattle Post-Intelligencer: $250 on Nov. 19
« on: September 14, 2006, 06:45:01 AM »
Even though I agree that the system being $250 and the controller $60.  It's still much cheaper then what you have to pay for the competition.  I dont see this really hurting Nintendo to much since the average person will walk into the store and see

Wii - $250
360 - $400
PS3 - $600

This is a big difference then the last gen where it was just

Gamecube - $200
PS2 - $300
XBox - $300

I get the feeling Resident Evil for the Wii is going to be one of those crappy Gun Survivor games.  Consider how Capcom loves to make stupid decisions, I wouldn't be surprised if it does end up being one.

Here's my take on what the final charactor selection will be if the game does have around 40 charactors and how the franchises will be represented.

The thing is most of the charactors will be from the existing franchises that are in the game.  Even though I agree it would be great to have alot more franchises represented, the current franchises shown in Melee are the most widely known, best selling series of Nintendo.  Those are the series everyone knows about and so adding more charactors from those series are what's going to get the majority of the gaming population excited.

I'm going to say this right now, Mario, Zelda and Pokemon are all going to have at least two new charactors added to their series since those are Nintendo's top three.  Every other franchise will have one new charactor, except Ice Climbers and Game and Watch since there's no other charactors to add from those series.

So if you break it down we're looking at 13 new charactors coming from existing franchises.  Since Meta Knight and Wario have been shown that'd make 11 new charactors from existing franchises that we dont know about yet.  So when you add all that up, but take into account they will be removing some of the existing charactors, plus the the 2-3 third party charactors, I'd say we're looking at only about 4 new Nintendo frachises being represented and I'm counting Pit as one.  So that leaves 3 more charactors from different Nintendo franchises to be represented.  

The mostly likely choices for those three would have to be Caption Olimar, an Animal Crossing charactor and an Advance Wars charactor since the Pikmin, Animal Crossing and Wars series are the top three most popular franchises from Nintendo that are not represented.

Battalian Wars Wii sounds pretty sweet.  I was interested in the Gamecube and planned on maybe buying it when the price dropped.  Now I think I'll just wait until this one comes out since it sounds like it'll be a big improvment over the original with the online play and everything else.

I'm usually up til that time in the morning anyway so this wont be a problem for me.  I'm close to the end of Paper Mario anyway so I'll be busy with that until 4:30.

4045
Well now we know for sure that NOA hates the Mother series and will never bother to even bring one to the US ever again.

They spent the time and money to translate Tales of Phantasia, a game made by Namco a third party company, but wont even bother to translate a game made by one of their OWN IN HOUSE STUDIOS.

Here's my predictions for what charactors I think will be added for each series.

Mario - Daisey and Waluigi (With them in the entire main Mario cast would be in.)

Zelda - Ganon and Tingle (I expect Ganon to be in there as either a transformation from Ganondorf or a seperate charactor.  Even though everyone will want to kill me, Tingle has been in several Zelda game and played some important roles.  Plus he's popular in Japan and is getting his own game there so I think he has a good chance.)

Donkey Kong - Diddy or a Diddy/Dixie team (I'd prefer the team format since it'd make a much better charactor.)

F-Zero - Samurai Goroh or Black Shadow (Samurai Goroh is Captions Falcon rival so he has the best chance, but if for some reason he's not then the only charactor left would be Black Shadow for being the villian of the series.)

Metroid - Ridley (He's been in nearly all the games and is Samus hated nemisis.  And for everyone complaining about his size, they can make him the same size as Bowser and he'd work just fine.)

Earthbound - Jeff or Poo (Since Earthbound was the only one in the series to be released here and Mother 2 is the best selling Mother game in Japan, it'd have to be one of them.)

Kirby - Since Metaknight is in I dont expect anymore.  If they do add another one though then it'd be King Dedede.

Star Fox - Wolf (He's Fox's rival and very popular, meaning he's in.)

Pokemon - Deoxys (He's pretty much the Mewtwo of Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald Pokemon games, plus with his different forms he'd make a very unique charactor.)

Fire Emblem - Sigurd or Ike (Sigurd is 2nd only to Marth in popularity in Japan and Ike was from the most recent Fire Emblem and is  quite popular in both the US and Japan.)

Third Party - Sonic and Megaman (I've already said my reasons for this several times.)

As for new series I expect Caption Olimar from Pikmin and an Animal Crossing charactor to be in the game as well.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Complete List of Wii Launch Titles

If Nintendo has a great marketing campaign for the Wii then this could be the knockout punch to Sony.  Sony has a system that's way to expensive for most people and a horrible selection of games at launch.  The Wii on the other hand will be very affortable and have a much larger selection with more variaty.  Plus with Zelda, you have a killer app that everyone knows will be amazing and worth the purchase.

When given the choices, I dont see how anyone would choose the PS3 at launch over the Wii.

If that's the PS3's launch lineup then the Wii easily has it beat.  Then again, Zelda alone can beat anything.

I've never had a problem with my friends using the C-Stick since I can tell when a charactor is going to use a Smash Attack.  Smash Attacks take longer then normal attacks even with C, so I can see when ones about to be done giving me plenty of time shield or roll behind them where I can do an easy grab.

I have to disagree with that.  Out of my group of friends I have the worst reflexes of all of them but I'm one of the top Melee players.  I'm a Luigi player while the rest play as Marth, Fox, Shiek, Donkey Kong, Roy, and Samus.

Plus I never put faith in Tier list.  
I like how Fox is top Tier yet, I beat the Fox player of the group most of the time I play him.  He's a really good player too, but I'm just better as Luigi.  The two that match my level are the Marth and Samus player and we're about even in wins against each other.

Plus the Samus player played a tournament while at college last year and came in second place.  The winner was a Jigglypuff player.
