Anti-piracy measures always just end up as annoyances for paying customers.

It sure would be nice if they just abandoned the PS2 already and instead focused on making the Wii version as good as possible. Granted, we won't be getting quite as horrible PS2-to-Wii treatment that Rock Band is handing out, but the game still won't take full advantage of the Wii. Why can't we get Xbox or GameCube ports instead? Heck, a Dreamcast port would probably show more technical prowess.

Nintendo Gaming / Re: Steven Spielberg Wii exclusive

Boom Blox has definitely proven itself as a fun title. The game modes can vary wildly in quality however, and I was disappointed that some sort of Adventure Mode wasn't available for multiple players. I do also wish that I could zoom in and out in the game. You can do so in the level editor, but nowhere else where it might be handy. :\

I've also had quite a bit of skittish behavior from the Wii remotes when starting a turn or such. The cursor will just flail around wildly or the nunchuck's analog stick won't work at first. Odd.

And that damn "Chemical Golf" level remains as the only non-gold level I have. I hate that level.

Or just make a "living" gun, though that'd be kind of disgusting...

I thought that they already had released this on the DS. Viva Pinata: Wild World, right?

This was obviously planned from the beginning. The game stops mid-story with a "To be continued."

The joys of episodic content. *rolls eyes*

TalkBack / Re: Activision Announces Pitfall: The Big Adventure for Wii

The last installment of the series I had played was Pitfall 3D on the Playstation. It was actually pretty decent, and was made all the better by Bruce Campbell's voice acting.

I tried the original Flash version of Defend Your Castle and it was horrid. I really can't see why anyone would want to play it for free, let alone pay for it.

Lost Winds looks pretty darn interesting however.

TalkBack / Re: Take-Two to Release MLB Power Pros Sequel on Wii and DS

« on: May 09, 2008, 09:24:31 PM »

I don't like baseball, or even baseballs games, but did enjoy MLB Power Pros. As already stated, I would definitely like to see motion controls throughout ALL of the game modes. It'd be nice to see more widespread Mii integration as well. Outside of the lack of any kind of online play, those two things were the only real points that held the last game back.
