This game looks BAD ***.

The Zelda Crossbow thing isn't a rumor. It's on Nintendo's press site.

I'm excited about it. Apparently it used a TP engine, and the gameplay sounds fun. It'll be worth the $20

 

[Sensai]

Jeah, definitely worth it now.

[Edit:]

This looks cool, too.

I'm sorry but the Link crossbow training is just stupid. The zapper is nothing more than a stupid piece of plastic and the "game" is nothing more than a cheap tech demo used to ***** out the Zelda series.

 

[ChRed2AKrisp]

that sounds really ********. the only reason i even considered gettin wii play was because of the multiplayer. albeit two player, it wsa fun. this is going to be, $20 for a piece of plastic and link shooting at stuff. woo hoo. no story or anything at all.. hardly what i call a zelda game.

its 20$, not a big deal. and it will increase the wii numbers even more. wether its good or bad, it helps nintendo.

 

[Sensai]

I don't think anyone's honestly saying that it comes with a Zelda 'game'...and if you are, you're dumb.

You're not paying 20 dollars for a Zelda game; you're paying 20 bucks for a piece of plastic and a tech demo that features Link.

Beautiful Katamari is coming to Wii, confirmed:

[lonejedi]

Looks like lucasarts is in the works of officially making a wiisaber game. I mean we all knew it would happen, but good to hear Lucasarts at least semi-confirming something.

Agreed. I dislike the crossbow + Link combination, and I'm a fan of the Zelda series.....It just seems so unlike Link to have a crossbow. T.T

 

[ChRed2AKrisp]

So Iwata either knows something i don't or is very ********. Because he thinks the wii isn't really a success yet.

http://www.aussie-nintendo.com/?v=news&p=17199


The wii has sold 10 million + units in less than a year? Has surpassed the 360 which has been out a year longer? Pshaw, true success is a unit next to every television!!

keep dreaming iwata...

(no he didn't say that, i made it up so i don't need anyone pointing it out).

You say confirmed and your source says unconfirmed. The page on Namco-Bandai's site once again says the only platform it's being released for is Xbox 360.

 

[Chill]

It will probably be released on the Wii. The screens for Ninja Gaiden 2 were removed from the site but was announced soon after. Eternal Sonata was listed as a PS3 release and then removed but Famitsu confirmed this to be true.

They probably want it to be a "suprise" or there might be some contractual obligations they are under.

 

[Cashed]

Not doubting it'll eventually be released on it, I mean, just look at the game, take away the 720p resolution, the 5.1 sound and maybe some of the online features and you've got a version set for the Wii. I just wanted to remind Sensai that it's not confirmed.

 

[Sensai]

Ack! I hate those updates that sneak up on you. ****in'....sorry.

Also, more news. The boards were down earlier today (or really slow or something) so:

I know next to nothing about technical ****, so click the link for something to do with a new engine being ported to Wii. This engine made Civ 4 and Oblivion...

[Stryks]

Ok so new NiGHTS trailer, just a few gameplay parts and I can already tell it has a somewhat bad camera view, maybe its just me...

anyway IGN is holding some "u want a wii headset for online communication?" I voted, 98.9 percnt want a headset... nintendo start working...

 

[Sandy]

Does anyone know how to change the Wii Clock on the startup screen?

 

[Mr.GAW]

^?

Elaborate. What do you mean "Change it?"

Like, the actual TIME? Just go to your Wii settings, dude.

 

[Sensai]

You guys should sign this petition. [Edit:] It's for a Wii headset. [/edit]

Yes, I know Nintendo won't give a ****, but still...every little bit helps, right?

 

[Stryks]

Theres a new M&S at the olimpics trailer, this one is actually godd, I lol so hard when I saw the angry yoshi playing ping pong XD...

 

[Y34HDUD3!!!]

Lol yeah. That new trailer is awesome. Love the part when Mario and Sonic smile at each other.

 

[Sandy]

I noticed Sensai didn't post the new VC update:

Super Thunder Blade (Sega Genesis, 1 player, 800 Wii Points)

World Class Baseball (Turbografx16, 1-2 players, 600 Wii Points)

Yoshi's Story (N64, 1 player, 1000 Wii Points)

 

[Chill]

The M&S olympics trailer is pretty epic. It's a shame the game won't look as good as that. What's worse though is that it probably won't play as good as it is made to look. But if they can make a good collection of mini-games my hat's off to them.

 

[TGM]

im sick of mini games. mario party 8,wario ware,wii sports,wii play......ect, are all good games but too much of mini games wears it out.

 

[Red Exodus]

So true TGM, it's kinda sad that the only things I have to look forward to when I get a Wii are the occasional flagship series and random gems that are as rare as flagship series.

Something tells me Nintendo is just going to take this approach and run with it. If that happens PSwii60 ftw then.

VC thread much?

 

[Chaudgobay]

yoshi story ?

lolz...i liked this game

will buy it

 

[lonejedi]

The Wii will be the ultimate system if lucasarts can pull this off. The Force Unleashed is being made for the Wii, due in Spring of next year. Also added is a 1v1 jedi master mode where you duel. The Remote will be used as a saber, nunchuck as force powers. If I hadn't bought a wii, I would buy this system just for this game.

I've been wanting that game since Game Informer had a story about it. This is gonna be a day one purchase for all Star Wars fanboys like me.

 

[WaterTails]

Fact. Lucasarts wins the wii... If only they could make a lego headset for it (Lego starwars)

i wouldnt go pswii60. ill wait it out. Zelda,pkmn revo,Metroid3,mario galaxy,ssbb,mario kart,RE:UC. these are epic games that will direct me from mini games.







University of Illinois offers students a Wii bit of fun

And some other things im noticing. My GF is a CNA in a nursing home in Houston,tx and she says the nursing home she works for is buying wiis for the residents there so they can participate in some sort of exercise. Ive seen articles about this but i thought it was confined to a few cities. Its just kind aneat how wii is spreading like it is.

 

[Sensai]

No More Heroes will be developed by Ubisoft and released in the West in February.

http://kotaku.com/gaming/no-more-heroes/ubisoft-picks-up-no-more-heroes-for-us-release-301783.php

 

[Red Exodus]

Ubisoft? Those same *insert expletive here* that are using the money they make from Wii on xbox and ps3?

They better not go half-*** on this game.

 

[Sensai]

This game looks amazing. Maybe I'm just crazy *** tired or something, but this looks like Animal Crossing meets Pikmin meets....awesome.

http://media.wii.ign.com/media/892/892457/vids_1.html

 

[Mr.GAW]

That's also known as King's Story right now, correct?

Yeah, this is one of those games that I just can't wait for, even though I know nothing about.

Then again, I sorta had that feeling with Okami, but I don't anymore.

 

[Sensai]

Kotaku's first look at Project O (sometimes refferred to, possibly incorrectly, as King's Story).

http://kotaku.com/gaming/tgs07/first-look-at-project-o-302649.php

[Edit:]

Also, here's the Fire Emblem box art. Apparently the game is releasing Stateside on the 5th of November?

http://www.infendo.com/wii/fire-emblem-radiant-dawn-box-art/

 

[Mr.GAW]

Yeah, project O is just looking better and better.

Also, I'll be sure to pick up FE, as I'm a huge fan, but seriously, why the **** did it take so long to come to our America? It got released in Japan over the summer, it might have even been May. AND WHY WOULD YOU NOT USE IR FOR THAT GAME? It would fit so perfectly to control people. Oh well, it's supposed to be really long and you can get bonuses from having a PoR save file.

 

[Doggalina]

Project O does look amazing.

Oh, and there were some Crossbow Training screens in NP:

lol @ Crotch shots on Gorons. Too bad it's not simultaneous multiplayer, though.

 

[Mr.GAW]

Did you actually get your NP that early? Or is that from some other site?

Anyways, yeah, that looks awesome. How are you NOT gonna pick that up for 20 bucks?

Well, besides that you'll probably only play it for a week and get bored w/ it.

 

[Doggalina]

Somebody posted the scan on GoNintendo.

 

[Sensai]

I guess I'll be pickin' up a Zapper at some point...I wasn't planning on it until the whole Zelda pack in thing, but...jeah. I'll probably use it for some games anyways.
