Pre-E3 Wii thread

I hope Nintendo divulges on the details of their downloadable games. I made a journal entry about it, but now I want to discuss it.

Quote:

I believe it was stated before how Nintendo was considering adding updates to their games, like brand new levels for the original Mario Bros and so on. That is where things get interesting. Suppose Nintendo takes a page from Xbox 360 Live and incorporates some of the features from the 360's downloadable games. How about the ability to play against someone online during a game of SNES Mario Kart? Or being able to show off your high score in an online ranking system?

Or better yet, how about letting the users submit some original levels to be incorporated into the classic games? They could give us some basic, easy to learn tools to let us make up some new Mario World levels. Or how about the ability to create some new scenarios and stories for some of the classic FF games (fanfiction put to good use)? I suppose such things would have to get approval first (can't have any penis-shaped block patterns or a rewritten story like that awful Chrono Trigger porn parody), but if Nintendo made a weekly contest out of it, it would be awesome. Or better yet, they could just let us share our fan-levels and RPGs freely to each other.

Of course, Nintendo needs to make some things clear in order for this to work. They have to stay dedicated to this concept, instead of starting off strong then losing interest after (like the whole GBA/GC connectivity thing, but that was never really strong to begin with). They also have to keep the price of downloads minimal. 5 bucks a game is okay, or better yet, a free download with each purchase of a new Wii game (heh).

What do you think? Will Nintendo let us submit our own levels? What are some classic games you would love to see updated?

Also, while I'm still iffy about the system using the name, I totally approve the term "Wiimulator".

Jam it back in, in the dark.

How about no more costly add-ons and Nintendo just sticks with the remote? I want them to focus on making games, not gimmicks.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

It means exactly how it reads. No more bongos, extra ram, pikachu mic, E-Reader, and so on. We have a remote that can do pretty much anything, so let's stick with that instead of spending extra cash on some add-ons that only get used in 1-2 games.

Wasn't Donkey Kong Jungle Beat $60 when it first came out?

That would be the bongos you just spent the extra $10 on.

Despite what I said, though, I can think of at least 2 add-ons for the remote that would be pretty cool. Unnecessary, but cool.

1. A gun part that you can attach the remote too, for shooting games. The remote would basically sit on the top of the attachment, acting as the chamber. The only question is how to get the trigger to work.

2. A small speaker-like device you can attach to create Lightsaber FX. Every time you swing the remote, you get the usual Lightsaber noise, same if you strike something with it. Similar speaker devices with different sound effects would be kind of neat too.
