My first two hands-on experiences with the WiiPointer at E3 were for the tech demos "Obstacle Course" and the ping pong game. If these are in WiiPlay, I definitely want it if only to relive those moments.

On the other hand, duck hunt....

What was bad about E3 Ping Pong?

Wait... if WiiPlay is included with controllers at launch...

...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?

UncleBob: Not exactly. You buy WiiPlay and it comes with a free WiiPointer. Or if you want to look at it...it is a special packaged deal.

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.

UncleBob · « **Reply #29 on:** September 19, 2006, 10:32:08 AM »

It was my understanding that you buy a controller + Wii Play for the regular price of a controller (in Japan, at least)... is this not right?

Kairon · « **Reply #30 on:** September 19, 2006, 10:44:59 AM »

Not right.

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.

New info! Looking great.. hopefully it comes here.

IceCold · « **Reply #32 on:** February 14, 2007, 04:23:43 PM »

I've been playing around with this, and the shooting range minigame is just awesome. On my third try I got a platinum medal (603 points).. It's such a great ego boost - it really makes you think, "Damn I'm good.."

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!

Been playin' around a little bit, but haven't passed the bubble game as of yet. I got bored and tried to just click + and quit to move on but apparently you have to keep playing until you actually lose enough bubbles or something. Anyways so far the only one I've REALLY enjoyed was the shooting, but I'm not even half way through yet.

NeoThunder · « **Reply #34 on:** February 15, 2007, 11:32:23 AM »

for me it's like a Wii Sports 2.....cause out of 9 games there is only 5 I like

ping pong
tanks
shooting range
neon glide hockey
pool.....altho kinda hard

Maverick · « **Reply #35 on:** February 15, 2007, 01:30:40 PM »

I really like Hockey/Pong too, now that I've gotten to it. The only ones I can say that I really like are shooting, hockey, and tanks. The cow one's alright but over way too soon.

How many levels does Tanks have?

trip1eX · « **Reply #37 on:** February 17, 2007, 02:00:17 PM »

I would give it a 9 easy. But I factor in price too. It's $10.

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.

Adrock · « **Reply #38 on:** February 17, 2007, 03:16:23 PM »

This should have been better. It's pretty boring. I wish they included real duck hunt.

decoyman · « **Reply #39 on:** February 17, 2007, 03:36:02 PM »

MLS_man, apparently tanks has 20 levels to get the highest medal... but after you beat that, you can play for up to 100 levels total (crazay!). I'm having a hard time with those dang light turquoise tanks.

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.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #40 on:** February 17, 2007, 05:33:15 PM »

20 levels only nets you a gold medal (or do you have to go through them without dying to get platinum?).

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.

Anyone else find shooting a lot easier on 4:3? I played it at my gfs house with her 4:3 tv and when I got back to my house with a 16:9 I haven't been able to get a platinum. I got platinum my first try on the 4:3. Is it something to do with our respective sensitivity settings with the remote you think?

IceCold · « **Reply #43 on:** February 17, 2007, 06:51:48 PM »

I'll have your extra controller!

decoyman · « **Reply #44 on:** February 18, 2007, 10:32:32 AM »

Actually, I think I meant just plain green ones, KDR... they're the stationary tanks which fire fast shells that ricochet all over the place. I don't see how they manage to hit me sometimes. The level with 6 of them placed all over the place was pretty frantic:P

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

KDR_11k · « **Reply #45 on:** February 18, 2007, 07:46:14 PM »

Hm, I don't actually remember how I dealt with those tanks... I think I used cover heavily, blasting them through walls when possible (drop a mine near the wall) and shot their shots when they fired.

decoyman · « **Reply #46 on:** February 19, 2007, 09:24:39 AM »

Exactly, that's how I did it too. There's a lot of strategy in this simple little game.

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.

NeoThunder · « **Reply #47 on:** February 19, 2007, 03:25:43 PM »

wait a min.....there is a medal above gold?
Am I correct in what I hear that there is: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum

IceCold · « **Reply #48 on:** February 19, 2007, 05:08:46 PM »

Yes.

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #49 on:** February 19, 2007, 05:16:51 PM »

Just grabbed it today: well worth the $10. 9-Ball alone makes this purchase worth it. Everything else is just gravy.
