Game Developers Conference 2009

[|RK|]

I'm sure many of you probably forgot about this. It started a few days ago. Our dear friends at Nintendo have unveiled:

-Wii System Update 4.0
-Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks (DS)

The last one has got me especially hyped. Now, there's already a 2+ minute trailer, so you should find it floating around the web. Still hoping for more!

No love for "Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare 2"? =(

Please tell me that's not the actual name of the next modern warfare game.

With all the numbered sequel titles, there is no way pointing out that a game is the second installment of part four of a series is a good idea.

Well, some people are speculating that they're dropping the whole "Call of Duty" title to the game and it'll just be "Modern Warfare 2". Then they'll leave the CoD series to Treyarch (bad idea IMO) while IW will concentrate on the MW series.

Numbered sequel titles? *Looks at the Mario Party series...*

There's another CoD coming out already? That is the exact reason I don't have any CoD games, they come out so fast that if you don't get it on day 1 you might as well wait for the next one, the fact that CoD4 is still $50 is reason enough for me not to give it a chance.

I just updated my wii to 4.0 today. It works better than I had expected. You can now use the SDHC cards and play them on the SD/SDHC Menu. I didn't expect a whole menu for them; when you pick a game it makes a zelda type noice. XD

Final Fantasy X-2 fans says otherwise.

That's right, all three of them.

Question about Wii Menu 4.0 (since I have Homebrew and am refraining from updating at the moment);

Can you copy anything to the SD Card? Like, Animal Crossing, for example? And if so, would there be a way to have multiple Animal Crossing files (AKA multiple towns)? I always loved that in the Gamecube game so it'd be awesome if it worked with CF.

Oh, and in regards to Spirit Tracks...

Meh.

The title sounds like a New Age album title. Strike 1.
You conduct a train, meaning that you "explore" via a mode of transportation which is, by definition, very linear (except OMGSPLITPATH) and also meaning that Zelda games apparently now rely on your mode of transportation to be new and exciting. Strike 2.
The game is already getting way too much hype, despite just being announced and despite the fact that I haven't seen anything promising other than it being another Zelda (which isn't even that promising given Nintendo's recent history). Strike 3.

Hehe, I forgot about Animal Crossing. City Folk failed to innovate the series at all.

Yeah, it did...

I don't really play it anymore, but I still have the game and if there's any way to possibly expand the experience, I'll take it. Might as well not waste money.

I surely wasted money. When I bought it, my goal for the game was, "obtain Majora's Mask." And so I did. I didn't play the game once after doing so (okay, that's not for sure, but that pretty much marked the end of my time with that game).

You don't have CoD4??? You should get it because it has superb single player and multiplayer IMO! I'm still not gonna buy CoD: WaW because I already have it... (CoD 3)

 

[The Halloween Captain]

To be honest, I don't actually like CoD4. But that's entirely because it was the second first person shooter controlls I had to learn after mastering Halo, on the 3rd console controller brand I learned.

I just don't like Xbox 360's controller though, so my opinion is not a reflection of the game's quality. It's a good game (my friends and brother tell me).

Huh?

I can't think of even one recent zelda game that was bad, even PH was pretty good. Plus, It being a zelda game is quite a big thing. Even though some people say that others only want zelda and mario games on wii (greenkirby ) and even though it isn't true, there is a reason why zelda and mario games are wanted and liked (there great games and have held a record for delivering good games).

Also, it being hyped is no reason to dislike it (though I have no control over whether you do or not). in fact, ST doesn't even look to be getting as much hype as other games.
