Bad news... no online for GH3 for Wii.. at least for right now, but it looks to stay that way.

http://www.joystiq.com/2007/09/04/wii-guitar-hero-iii-gets-no-online-initially/

Well, i'm not sure now. RedOctane.com has the GH3 boxart for the Wii with a WFC logo in the upper left-hand corner.

 

[ChRed2AKrisp]

that was old boxart. The devs for GH3 have confirmed that there is no online atm, but they're trying to add it.

 

[Wuss]

that's too bad, but I never saw before that the wiimote goes into the guitar. will that mean that it will cost less? That would be muy excellente.

 

[Mr.GAW]

It's ten dollars less.

 

[Mr.GAW]

Well, i'm not sure now. RedOctane.com has the GH3 boxart for the Wii with a WFC logo in the upper left-hand corner.

Just becuase it has WFC doesn't mean it has online battle mode.

EDIT: Sorry for the double post, I'm really off today.

And I looked at the actual interview:

KH: There is online for the PS3 and Xbox 360. There won't be online initially for the Wii, but we are working with Nintendo to see how we can get those features in.

I guess it's not just online PLAY but online all together.
Gah.

EDIT again: Just realized this should prob. go in GH thread. Mabad.

 

[Red Exodus]

I never played GH, I have a PS2 but I'm just not that interested. I guess I'll get around to it sometime.

Oh, the Mushroom Men video was removed. I never got to watch it -.-

 

[Mic_128]

Congrats, you all managed to confuse me so I don't even know what I eamnt.

MP3 uses Wii codes as oposed to Mii Codes, correct?

 

[ChRed2AKrisp]

yes, but it doesn't use additional gamespecific friend codes. you only need wii codes, which is what i was happy about.

and the following info was released at a nintendo meeting today.

Mario Galaxy - 1st of November (5800 yen)
Mario Party DS - 8th of November
ASH - 4th of October
New Crimson Black DS Lite (like the Brain Age 2 one) 4th of October
Literature Collection DS - 18th of October (2800 yen)

those are japanese dates remember. Not sure why i posted this here other than there was rumored wii news (i.e. a new wii color, a big game announcement for wii). So i guess this is just to dispell any rumors. (I for one am happy to see an ASH release date, as well as a normal release of the crimson black DS, but that's DS news so no discussion here).

 

[Sensai]

Hey guys. College life takes some getting used to, which is why I haven't been posting much. Sorry...

MarioKart has 16 player online, battlemode, and something involving stunts?
http://kotaku.com/gaming/cunning-stunts/mario-kart-wii-features-stunts-16+player-online-296835.php

And, a new game from Odin Sphere developers Vanillaware has been announced. Check it.

[Creo]

@ Sensai[Mario Kart]- Yeah I found out about the Battlemode and Stunts but didn't know the 16 racer. Hope we don't need the friend codes for this game..those are just dumb ideas unless it was optional to find your friends online.
Anyways, the stunts that I know of as of now is that you can do a 360 rotation in the air. What this benifits to your race, I have no clue but maybe there is a stunt mode to get points? Nevertheless, this game looks very interesting by the update.

I didn't check "VanillaWare" but the title is guffawing at my mind!

 

[Zink]

online Mario Kart... happy in the fingers.
They need to stop messing around and announce Brawl's online scheme, if only for confirmation reasons.

 

[Volrec]

They better use Mii's.

16
x12
------

192

that's 192 numbers you're entering in for a full 16 player game X_X

but it's wii, so we'll be using FC's.

 

[Mr.GAW]

Volrec, I don't understand your post. :/


What is the 12?

but it's wii, so we'll be using FC's.

???

 

[Deleted member]

12 = numbers in a FC - friend code

 

[Zink]

Yeah, right, you totally have to enter every single fc for each player every time, for no reason other than to be aggrivating. Think, people. In a random game you don't need FCs, and if you're playing with friends, guess what, they're already in your friend list!

 

[lonejedi]

Ok, this time it's really confirmed, with magazine scans 16 person multiplayer for Mario Kart Wii.

[Sensai]

^^^

Thanks. Now I don't have to post about how it was a rumor.

And Red Octane has stated that GH3 will definitely have online multiplayer....just no DLC initially.
http://www.joystiq.com/2007/09/06/red-octane-says-wii-will-have-ghiii-online-play-no-dlc-initiall/

 

[Mr.GAW]

WHERE THE **** IS THE EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE NINTY?

I want me some DLC On GH3, and I'll be pissed if I can't have it.

Sorry, none of that is true.

 

[Sandy]

“Perhaps Nintendo could step in for now and give us some real details!”

Yeah sure, like Nintendo was going to do that

 

[Zink]

I don't think there's any plans for an external hard drive. Firmware support for one is different, and more possible.

 

[RaynEX]

he's right.

 

[ChRed2AKrisp]

Sorry, none of that is true.

maybe they just weren't supposed to reveal it yet, it definately was NOT printed as "specualtion" seems like nintendo got down on their *** for saying tolo much.

 

[Rx-]

Wii Fit is where it's at anyway. Exercise is exactly what every college bound gamer wants. Not!

 

[Sensai]

This whole Mario Kart thing is just silly.

First, you have the rumor go out (except it's not announced as a rumor). Then, it becomes official. Then everyone steps back and says (again) that it's a rumor.

Make up your effin' minds.

[Edit:]

This was geared towards the gaming media, not you guys.

 

[ChRed2AKrisp]

GH3 has confirmed online from redoctane, but no downloadable content as of yet.

"There will, in fact, be Online gameplay for the Wii when Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock launches in late October. However, there will not be Downloadable content available on the Wii at launch. That, we are still working with Nintendo on.”

 

[Cashed]

(disregarding this is the Wii topic, I see why you guys are talking about Guitar Hero but it still tickles me when the GH topic is right next door) With how poorly downloadable content has been supported for Guitar Hero 2 on the 360, I wouldn't worry too much about DLC for the Guitar Hero games. Now, if the Wii does end up getting Rockband and there's no downloadable content supported, then you should start emailing Harmonix saying "WTF IT'S A MAJOR POINT OF THE GAME!" Though it's Harmonix who has supported DLC on the 360 game so poorly, with Neversoft taking the helm of GH3, so who knows, maybe Neversoft will support their game better. I don't think they've ever released any DLC for the Tony Hawk games or anything, though.

 

[Mr.GAW]

brrrrrrrrr... it's cold in here.

(Was that too GFAQish and lame? Sorry.)

[Sensai]

Sensai;2864220...sounds sexay.

And I'm pretty sure the Wii is getting Rock Band...just not until quite a while after everyone else.

 

[Cashed]

Hasn't been officially announced. The only reason it's even a rumor is Matt from IGN keeps saying "Wii is getting Rockband" and Harmonix is saying they're open to other platforms in the future.

 

[Sensai]

Ah. Cool.

Has anyone listenend to the Wiik in review? At about 28.30, Matt and Bozon finish talking about some 'dark' game for the Wii that resembles another game we already know about...

Any ideas?

 

[Stryks]

Maybe its that Sadness game or something, seriously all I ask is for a violent 1st party game, which im sure we'll get one in like the next 10 years or so...

also hoping, since retro studios did a phenomenal job on MP3 control scheme, maybe do a halo-ish game for the wii, with only and everything, a FPS? nintendo lacks one, dont count metroid prime since only the prime saga is 1st person, I mean a FULL 1st person game...

 

[Mr.GAW]

I was thinking of Sadness as well, Stryks. I forget what happened to that game, and it seems fitting. Bozon tried to get Matt to spill the beans by saying: "does it resemble or have something to do with another game we've seen?". Eh, it was something along the lines of that. I wouldn't be surprised if it was Sadness.

 

[ChRed2AKrisp]

sadness got a new publisher didn't it? At least it's still officially in the works.

 

[Red Exodus]

I'm actually surprised Wii doesn't have many shooters. You'd think people would just jump at the ability to aim precisely.

 

[greenblob]

I'm surprised by the lack of FPSs, RTSs, and RPGs. Any game genre that has point-and-click gameplay screams "Wii."

 

[Zink]

Picked up Corruption and a classic controller. Prime is good. Yes. Very good. And the CC let me get to level 7 on Super C. So a good thing all around.

 

[Sensai]

The Wii Zapper is lookin' a tad more alluring. Y'know, if this bogus-as-hell sounding rumor turns out to be solid.

http://www.infendo.com/wii/wii-zapper-pack-in-will-be-zelda-game/

 

[Mic_128]

Wow, I was gonna get it to go with that ghost squad game, but that'd be sweet. I'd hit that.

 

[Wiseguy]

I just heard about the Zelda Crossbow Zapper game. Seriously, I can't wait! Hopefully the development looked to games like Duck Hunt for inspiration.
