Pre-Pre-E3 Wii thread

Quote:

We are trying to release this title as a launch title," Nagoshi said. "With all the possible ways to control AiAi and friends, this will be a must have title to go with anyone's purchase of the Revolution.

Does that count as confirmation that Monkey Ball will be available at launch? He does say "trying".

Anyway the article also states that there'll be no story this time. Monkey Ball cut-scenes and stories were awsome . "MAGICAL SPELL IS EI EI POO!"

Pikmin 3!

Oh check out this lame shit. Apparently this is Tony Hawk Wii and is going to be shown at E3:

The graphics SUCK ass on that from what I can see. No clue what they mean.

That's hardly a demonstration video. It might as well have shown nothing. The quality's crap. Also, it doesn't look like actual gameplay. If that video's real, then it's most probebly a quickly put together demonstration (in terms of visuals) to showcase the controls on Wii. Also, even though the actual character looks great (especially his shirt), it's not like Tony Hawk games are fit to show off console visuals or innovations. Wii's garanteed to be at least slightly more powerful than GC which is just fine if you ask me.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

You might be able to make a 2 sceen portable system but it's nothing new if you're using the bottom screen just to view a map.

As far as I'm concerned, systems barely have anything to do with 'innovation'. It's what the games do. Warioware Twisted was an innovative game and it didn't need 2 screens or a motion sensor remote to make it something special.

Why are you being so black or white about this? Who said anything about both hardware and software not being able to work together to offer innovation? Yea Wii alone, without any creative games, won't revolutionize a thing. However, the console itself does half the work towards reaching such steps. The controler itself will probebly inspire game developers to create new and innovative games that they probebly wouldn't have thought of on their own.

Also, yea, not EVERY SINGLE TITLE EVARRR will use the controler. So what? If the game's damn good, and fun, why not enjoy it when there'll be plenty of other titles that do use the core controler's unique abilities? Same goes for the DS of course. Stop being such a downer.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Here's an article with three marketing concepts for Wii. (with one concept commercial). They're pretty cool ideas, even though the author seems to still hate the name "Wii".

How ya doing, buddy?

I'm not really all that familiar with the Metal Slug series. I just know that the franchise is very popular and it's a side-scrolling shooter(?) [correct me if I'm wrong here]

However because of the very same reason you stated above, I'm very curious about the game now. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Didn't know I was in the majority here. Figured most would go for Sony.

FELIPE NO

Here's an article suggesting that Wii's last major secret may be the fact that it uses "Augmented Reality". I don't really understand how it's working. In the video, it looks like the demonstrator just generates holograms within his hand outta thin air. (It's also worth noting that this video is old and has been around before. However, I don't think it was linked to Nintendo until now). A bit farfetched (Then again what about Wii isn't farfetched), but an interesting read.

too good to be true?

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Anyway, seems like Nintendo themselves will be providing live E3 coverage here during the big event! I guess they know how huge and curcial this E3 is for them so they're not cutting any corners.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Wow, I'm actualy surprised that a multiplatform title is getting a special control scheme just for the Wii version. Figured most titles spanning all three consoles would just use Wii's "normal" shell or GC controler. Oh and this concept art for the title is pretty awsome. XD [the one Infernal Monkey has in his post above]


Rayman games are usualy pretty great. I may end up picking this up with the console.

Oh and I hope you guys are wrong about your predictions that most games will be 1st person. I'm not too fond 1st person views. There's just something more satisfying about seeing someone/something represent your actions on screen. I personaly see no problem with applying Wii's core remote's abilities to a, say, 3rd person platformer or action/adventure game.

-EDIT-

Aaah Infernal Monkey! Too fast!

I fail to see whether that's a marketing ploy, a demonstration of the Wii's controller, or some weird cross-culture promotion.

I think it's suppose to suggest that "cool and hip" kids from all sorts of different scenes can enjoy Wii together. Or Rayman Wii to be exact. Meh, I just like the crazed bunnies XD.

Most amazing jew boots

Yeah you have a point there. I mean, they haven't even shown this so-called shell at all. But, you never know, it could be saved up for E3. Besides, even if it did indeed get canned, there's still the GC controler. =p

Even though Neogin suggests other genres and views, he does state that he agrees with him, hence, "guys". But I'm probebly nitpicking here. I'm sure Nintendo will offer numerous games in a veriaty of views. After all, I doubt we're gonna see something like KIRBY: ARMED & LOADED shooter gracing Wii anytime soon. Or ever.

How ya doing, buddy?
