Peach Hime
It said Peach Hime means princess so there's proably some pricness peach game, WOOOOOO. Could nintys new peripheral be the Manebito/Camera or perhaps the Commander Pack. A thing similar to the eyetoy would be crazy but with a nintendo twist.

MISSION Manebito (MAN-BITE-OH!) is Nintendo's first attempt at a fully interactive 'adult entertainment' simulator. Starring a full cast of well known Nintendo characters, the game will play like Smash Bros crossed with Wave Race with a hint of Punch-Out!!! and a cheap adult video rented from Blockbuster. The game will recieve a world wide launch on sometime later in the year. Avaliable for Nintendo DS and Atari 7800"

LOL! Quite right. Is it just me? Or is nintendo really out of touch with what the people want? Miyamoto keeps spouting stuff like: "We want games to get simpler and simpler" when I want games to get longer and more complex. Do people want endless remakes and rehashes of games that have already been released? Or light-weight games like luigis mansion for launch titles? I for one would like a new mario game for gamecube, one new true mario game per SYSTEM just isn't enough.

Given the publicity the Eye Toy received around the holidays, I wouldn't be surprised if it sold to expectations, and caught others attention.

Please enlighten me to what the people want...Grand Theft Mario? Peach Hardcore Mudwrestling?
It's been a very long time since there was a Ninty title I just plain didn't enjoy...
Post by: Deguello on June 04, 2004, 09:38:03 AM
I like the deviation, because I really would think a game that starred Princess Peach would be fantastic if I'm thinking what Miyamoto's thinking. Like say, Bowser kidnaps Peach, and then for some reason Mario's not showing up. Boswer, being impatient, decides to take the fight to Mario this time and abandons his castle. And Peach escapes, because well... that's what the game would be.
I see two distinct possibilities for a game like this. Possibly a 3-D/2-D/2.5D Platformer in which you do the levels of a usual Mario game in reverse. They could either make you do the usual increasing difficulty in which the only difference is that you are moving right to left (2D style) or just doing going backwards through 3D representations of the levels from, say Super Mario Brothers 1.
The other possibility is Nintendo doing their classic "let's take unfun genres that have stagnated and make it appeal to people who like gameplay" like they do with RPG's every now and then. Imagine Peach having to sneak out of Bowser's Castle. A stealth game could be done very well as long as they ignore two precedents. Splinter Cell, with it's "OMG they found a footprint you made at the beginning of the level. Please Restart." And Sly Cooper AKA the most boring platformer, ever.
Either possibility is fine, and I believe I am very correct in saying EAD (if my speculation is right) has done weirder games before that turn out to be classics and have elements quickly emulated. And I also believe EAD has never ever made a bad game, and I am including Luigi's Mansion. Haters.
But really, I would like to hear what people already think of the game when they only know the title. It's so insightful.
Post by: Ian Sane on June 04, 2004, 09:53:36 AM
Luigi's Mansion is not a bad game. It's just a bad choice for a flagship launch title that's expected to sell systems. I tend to show a fair bit of hatred for it mostly because I firmly believe that if Nintendo had developed a much deeper and longer title to launch the Cube with the console would be in a much better position right now. As a flagship title Luigi's Mansion suggested that the Cube was going to be about one-dimensional titles that can be beaten in a weekend that have no replay value. Not exactly a good impression to give people.
Nintendo doesn't really make bad games but they can't promote okay games as great games which is what they did with Luigi's Mansion.

So Luigi's Mansion's commercials should have said "Yeah, it's alright. I mean, it's not bad, but it's not that good, either- it's okay. You might want to just rent it instead."

No I said that with a flagship launch title there's the assumption that the quality is really high and the game's going to last you for a long time. See Halo for example which despite being a few years old is still regularly played. Therefore the launch title has to deliver up to those expectations which Luigi's Mansion did not. And if the big launch title doesn't deliver it gives the console a bad image.
Post by: Bill Aurion on June 04, 2004, 12:04:34 PM
Wait, if it was the #1 selling launch title then it should have been doing something right...
"See Halo for example which despite being a few years old is still regularly played."
I played it for about two weeks and haven't touched it since... :\

SNES. Super Mario World, F-Zero, Pilotwings, Sim City, Super Ghouls 'n' Ghosts, Act Raiser, Gradius III, etc. I think Final Fantasy II was even a launch title or at least was close enough. The amount of great games released for that console in 1991 was insane.
And the amount of great titles isn't significant. What's important is that the flagship title be a system seller. As well as Luigi's Mansion sold, few thought it was worth owning a Cube for and it failed to keep up interest for the six month game drought that followed. Nintendo should have launched the Cube with Super Mario Sunshine.
Let's put it this way, when people who just bought a Cube ask what game they should get does anyone suggest Luigi's Mansion?

It's not something I would've recommended as a US$50 purchase at launch.
Mario Sunshine, I'd agree with.

IGN has a few images that apparently go with the patents, and I'm almost certian now that this is just an 'Eye Toy' type of device.
Not sure what the linking rules are, but the article is titled "Nintendo Plans Stuff" on IGN...

Who is also almost certian that the next post will be on luigi's mansion
