It does look pretty good - I might just pick it up. Just a note, the air hockey minigame in Super Monkey Ball DS is great..

I ended up with a lot of extra copies of NiGHTs because of that

Nope, the only games confirmed for launch here are Wii Sports and Zelda.

I bet even if this wasn't bundled with the controller the sales for this game in Japan would still be huge.

When I buy my second controller I am getting it with WiiPlay so that I get alittle more bang with my buck...and basically that is what Nintendo wants to do. Nintendo wants the second controller to feel let a better deal. Everyone needs 2 controllers with a system...not everyone needs four.
Oh and if they price it the same as they did in Japan, you actually get the game and controller for cheaper than the single controller. I don't understand it either.

The US Nintendo event left details out of the speech...I hope this is one of those details left out, because I think this would be the smartest means to make getting a second controller look like a better deal.
As it is, I am waiting and watching for bundle deals and such. This will be my first console I don't preorder, because I want to get the best deal...and I am picking it up at 12:00am on November 19th...so I have to find stores that WILL be open late.

...and everyone buys three more controllers at launch (since everyone is going to, judging by the number of people bitching about having to spend an extra $120 at launch)...
...then does that mean we're all going to end up with tons of WiiPlay floating around?
Post by: Spak-Spang on September 19, 2006, 10:22:03 AM
I personally think this is great as I mentioned before.
We also don't know if they are done tweaking those games available for WiiPlay or if any others will be added last minute. The important thing is that they are multiplayer and fun...because Nintendo needs to get multiplayer madness going on the Wii ASAP.

In Japan, Wiimote costs 3800 yen. WiiPlay /w free Wiimote costs 4800 yen.
For comparion, most games in Japan will be priced at 5800 yen, which would be roughly equivalent to our 50 dollar range. Wii Sports will cost 4800 yen.

This is mainly due to the pinpoint precision and amazing speed you can shoot with. They are by far the best shooting controls I have ever experienced. When you pop two ducks with one bullet while juggling three cans in the air, it makes you feel all warm inside.
The cursor looks very similar to the star one in Mario Galaxy - I'm sure it'll have the same accuracy.. can't wait!

The SP game ain't going to have you playing it for too long, but it's also one of those games that imo you pull out for a quick fix occasionally. MP will always remain fun because of the timeless core gameplay in most of the games.
OH did I say it's $10.

trip1eX, you've got it right when you mention the $10 thing. For the amount of gameplay that's included, this game is totally recommended for $10.

Turquoise? What did those do again?
I got through all twenty levels with little difficulty by firing three round bursts with slight spread at enemies while reserving a few shots for point defense.

And yeah, you only get gold for beating those first 20... I don't know if it's without dying that nets you the platinum or what, but I'm gonna try for it as soon as I get a chance! Too fun:P

I also love the art direction in the game. It's like a little toybox, and the sound effects are spot on. The little whistles to count up how many tanks you destroyed are awesome
I think someone compared it to Geometry Wars, and I see some similarities... but I prefer Tanks' style. Almost reminds me of something by Aardman.

Am I correct in what I hear that there is: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum

VALUE
Is this game a 4.5 at the $50 pricetag? Totally.
Is it a 4.5 at $10? At least I don't think so.

But its GOOD gravy, right? :p
Anyways, surprised that you picked up Wii play. I honestly thought that it wasn't your type of game.

I think I've been a video game enthusiast for so long that I just can't fully appreciate simple (dare I say elegant?) fare like WiiPlay. My opinions on what makes a game "great" have been affected by decade or so of toggling through weapons, adjusting the camera, and quarter-circle, back, back low punches.
