Rumor: New sets of Nintendo on Wii

 

Ενα rumor με πολλα ενδιαφεροντα:

Το καινουργιο Zelda για το 2009... και Mario Kart για 2008.

Ξανακουμε για τα Wii Health, Wii Music και Animal Crossing Wii.

Wii Motorsports...;

 

Amis LiveWiiens, the hour of the gross news of the evening arrived, and it is with an immense pleasure that we propose information to you which should charm the majority among you. Of sure source, the current working group division various from Nintendo reached us, with his batch of (good) surprised:

 

EAD Software Development Group No 1

• Wii Health ( 2007 )
  
• Mario Kart ( 2008 )
  

 

EAD Software Development Group No 2

• Wii Music ( 2007 )
  
• Animal Crossing Wii ( 2008 )
  
• Wii Motorsports ( TBA )
  

 

EAD Software Development Group No 3

• The Legend of Zelda: Wii ( 2009 )
  

 

EAD Software Development Group No 4

• Big Brain Academy Wii ( 2007 )
  

 

EAD Software Development Group No 5

• Super Mario Galaxy ( 2007 )
  

As you will even note it by you, there are some confirmations for plays very awaited by all, and not announced yet. Let us quote for example, Mario Kart, thus planned for 2008, with obviously a online mode which should follow.

 

In the same case of figure, we find The Legend Of Zelda: Wii, true adventure conceived for Wii, unlike Twilight Princess, which was not, in the beginning, expected that for Gamecube.

 

A new play makes its appearance: Wii Motorsports. It would seem that it is the response of Nintendo to Motorstorm, titrates present at the launching of the PS3. Another good news, the maintenance for year 2007 of Super Mario Galaxy, whereas some feared a carryforward.

 

To note the absences in this estimated cutting, of the plays having had recent advertisements like Donkey Kong Bongo Blast or Metroid 3, this last having had a carryforward announced on a later date that initial June.

 

Obviously, Nintendo should affirm, or cancel, these exits soon; we think in particular of the future living room, E For All 2007, the Japanese editor having confirmed his presence with this one.

 

 

 

Soul Calibur survey targets Wii

 

Bandai Namco is sending out a Soul Calibur survey to a select group of people.

Whatʼs interesting is that the Wii pops up on the survey in a question of its very own.

 

Q2. Select the comment that most reflects your interest in the Wii.

 

I currently own one and will continue to use it.

I currently own one but donʼt use it much.

I donʼt own one but will buy one in the next 6 months.

I donʼt own one but will buy one in the next year.

I donʼt own one but would like to buy one.

I donʼt own one and have no plans to buy one.

 

More Soul Calibur on a Nintendo platform?

Iʼll definitely take some of that…and you can add Link back in it as well.

Manage your Mii on PC

 

Datel has revealed a nifty new invention to help you create, manage and tweak your Mii avatar on PC.

 

We're not sure what was so difficult about creating the little characters on the Wii, what with the intuitive motion-sensing controller and that, but apparently some of you needed help.

 

 

So, for GBP 14.99 or USD 19.99 you can get your hands on the Mii creation software, which comes with a USB Bluetooth receiver so you can digitally talk with your console. All you have to do then is internally visualise yourself, or look in a mirror, and translate that into a little digital image of yourself.

 

If this sounds like something right up your alley, then head over to the Code Junkies website to pick it up.

 

How many of you will be buying it?

Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles Hands-on

If Capcom made House of the Dead, this would be it.

One part Wind Waker and one part Monkey Island, Capcom's new pirate game is just as stylistic as it is challenging.

 

 

 

 

Nintendo Considering Online for Fire Emblem

Next title in strategy series could make the big jump.

 

Nintendo's Fire Emblem series has made its mark as one of the finest single player Japanese strategy series around, but Nintendo and developer Intelligent Systems may be looking to expand into new territory with the next title. Speaking with Dengeki DS & Wii Style (a young publication formerly known as just Dengeki DS Style), Nintendo producer Hitoshi Yamagami, IS producer Toru Narihiro, and IS "graphics chief" Masahiro Higuchi hinted that we can expect online components in the the next FE game.

 

Yamagami disclosed to the magazine that his team was originally considering Wi-Fi compatibility for the recent Wii entry in the series, Goddess of Dawn. Higuchi chimed in, noting that players would probably enjoy having maps and units distributed to them via online downloads. While some development was undertaken towards this end, Narihiro admitted that difficulties with balance and technology kept the feature out of Goddess of Dawn.

 

But the wait for online compatibility may not be too long. Yamagami closed off by stating, "This would be the first FE for the Wii, so we decided to focus on single player and held back on Wi-Fi. However, for the next title, if we have the chance, we'd like to use it."

 

While Higuchi mentioned downloads in his comments, Yamigami's mention of a focus on single player play suggests that Wi-Fi based battles are under consideration.

 

The three developers provided a few additional insights into the development of Goddess of Dawn. On the decision to bring the series to the Wii instead of the phenomenally successful DS, Yamagami stated, "The FE series began on the Famicom, so we'd generally like to release it on consoles. Also, it's a game with many detailed parameters, so we want to put it on a television. However, we do feel that the SRPG genre is suited for the DS."

 

Yamagami also fielded a question about the decision to not use the Wiimote's special control features. "At the start of development, we didn't know what controller would be included with the Wii. We began production by considering the classic controller default. Once we learned what would be included with the Wii system, we made it so that everything could be controlled with the Wiimote. However, we felt that controls like pointing and shaking of the remote were not applicable to FE, so we held off on it."

 

Based on the comments from these three, we're already starting to imagine what the next Fire Emblem game will look like. Of course, Goddess of Dawn was released to Japan a little over a month ago, so official details on the next entry in the series will probably have to wait.

Guitar Hero III for Wii will use guitar accessory, has online features

 

 

In an interview with IGN, RedOctane's co-founder and president Kai Huang has confirmed that the Wii version of Guitar Hero III uses a guitar peripheral and has online elements.

 

Guitar Hero III is scheduled to hit PlayStation 2, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii in Autumn this year. However, many were left wondering whether the Wii version would require a guitar peripheral - like previous Guitar Hero titles - or utilise the console's Wiimote.

 

While the development team is still exploring innovative ways to use the remote, Kai Huang told us: "We are really excited about the Wii game because there are so many options for the Wii remote. However, you will play the game with a guitar peripheral and it will be similar to a guitar you've seen in the past."

 

He also confirmed that Guitar Hero III on Wii contains features included in other versions of the upcoming game - such as online play and downloadable music.

 

You can read the full interview with Kai Huang about the Guitar Hero franchise later today.

Kαλησπέρα παιδια και Χρόνια πολλά.

 

10 μερούλες λείψαμε και βλέπω τα νέα έπεσαν βροχή.

 

Θα ήθελα και εγώ να επισημάνω ότι όσον αφορά τα scores, καλό είναι να δίνουμε βάση σε μέσους όρους από sites όπως metacritics ή gamerankings.

 

Ναί, το ξέρουμε ότι περιλαμβάνονται official sites που δίνουν χαριστικούς βαθμούς στα παιχνίδια, αλλά όταν ένα παιχνίδι έχει 20-40 reviews, οι χαριστικές βαθμολογίες 2-3 sites δεν αλλάζουν το μέσο όρο παραπάνω από το 1ο δεκαδικό ψηφίο.

 

Ενώ δηλαδή ένα παιχνίδι με 30 reviews κανονικά θα έβγαζε 76%, λόγω 2-3 χαριστικών reviews βγάζει 78-79%.

 

Φυσικά ευνόητο είναι ότι θα πρέπει να έχει πολλά πολλά reviews το εν λόγω παιχνίδι.

 

To 5-ρακι που έπιασε το Heatseeker στο Edge δεν μπορώ να καταλάβω πώς βγήκε. Δεν το έχω διαβάσει το review, οπότε μένω απλώς στο score.

 

Όπως και να έχει, τα καλύτερα έρχονται, μιάς και το support του Wii αυξάνεται συνεχώς, ακολουθώντας μιά πορεία που μου θυμίζει έντονα τη πορεία του DS.

 

Αρκεί να σταματήσουν επιτέλους τη καραμέλα με τα ports. Ειδικά η Ubisoft. Μετά από το Prince of Persia που δοκίμασα στο Wii, όποτε ακούω το όνομα Ubi, με πιάνει μιά ξινίλα στο στομάχι.

 

Όσο για το ότι το Wii δεν κάνει για FPS, εδώ αμφιβάλλω πάρα πολύ, μιάς και μετά την επίσκεψή μου για το Πάσχα στην Ελλάδα, ενισχύθηκε ακόμα περισσότερο η άποψή μου ότι οι PC gamers βρίσκουν τον FPS χειρισμό στο Wii εξαιρετικά εύκολο και ωραίο όπως το ποντίκι στο PC.

 

Αλλά περισσότερα για αυτό στο άλλο τόπικ.

Εγω με το Call of duty 3 μια χαρα βολικοτατο το βρηκα στο χειρισμο και μαλιστα συνδεσα και wiimote με το pc μεσω bluetooth soleil για να παίζω κι άλλα FPS. Πολλοί φίλοι μου το βρήκαν επίσης βολικότατο.

 

Ενταξει δεν ειναι για πολλες ώρες γιατι κατανταει κουραστικο για το χερι που σημαδευεις, αλλα το ιδιο ισχυει και για αλλα παιχνιδια.

[panther_512]

Πιθανών να έχεις δίκιο για τα gamerankings, metacritics κλ. Αλλά νομίζω όσα περισσότερα τα reviews, τόσο καλύτερη γενική άποψη για το συγκεκριμένο παιχνίδι.

 

Το Heatseeker δεν νομίζω να αξίζει το 5-ράκι. Όμως σίγουρα δεν αξίζει παραπάνω από 7-7.5. Εγώ θα του έβαζα ένα 6.5, ίσως ένα 7 και αυτό όχι γιατί το παιχνίδι δεν είναι καλό, το αντίθετο μάλιστα αλλά γιατί θα μπορούσε να είναι πολύ πολύ καλύτερο στον τεχνολογικό τομέα.

 

Τα γραφικά στον αέρα είναι αρκετά καλά. Τα επίγεια είναι οικτρά. Ο χειρισμός του όμως είναι πολύ ωραίος και ξεκούραστος.

 

Το παιχνίδι μοιάζει σαν Excite Truck στον αέρα. Δηλαδή τελείως arcade φάση, οπότε το βάθος του παιχνιδιού αγγίζει το 0. Μπορεί να φάς κόλλημα ή μπορεί να το βαρεθείς κατευθείαν.

 

Πάντως ο χειρισμός του μου άρεσε πάρα πολύ, λόγω της απλότητας και αμεσότητας που έχει και πιστεύω ότι αξίζει δοκιμής.

 

Εντωμεταξύ, τώρα που είπες ότι θα το δοκιμάσεις.......αγόρασες Wii???

:???: Που τωρα ηρθε ενα castlevania μετα απο τοσο καιρο χωρις παιχνιδια; :evil:

[panther_512]

Τόσο καιρό χωρίς παιχνίδια????

 

Κάπου κάνεις κάποιο λαθάκι νομίζω.

 

Εκτός και αν τερματίζεις ένα παιχνίδι τη μέρα, οπότε πάω πάσο...

 

Με τόσα παιχνίδια στο DS και Wii, πλέον δεν ξέρω με τί να πρωτοασχοληθώ σοβαρά...

 

hehehe eipame ena paixnidi den einai mono xeirismos

 

Σίγουρα, αλλά μιάς και στο συγκεκριμένο παιχνίδι ασχολήσαι ως επί το πλήστον με αερομαχίες, δεν θα κοιτάς το έδαφος και πολύ πολύ. Από κεί και πέρα είναι ωραίο να βλέπεις παιχνίδια επιτέλους να εκμεταλεύονται σωστά το Wiimote, χωρίς ψεγάδια και πολλές σκοτούρες.

 

Τα καλύτερα έρχονται

Rumor: Snatcher 2 on Wii?

 

 

Goichi Suda de Grasshopper, alias Suda 51, organized as envisaged there is a few days a small event in Japan around the topic Snake Vs. Zombie, with his/her friends Hideo Kojima (Metal Gear Solid), Shinji Mikami (Resident Evil), Fumito Ueda (Shadow of the Colossus) and Keiichiro Toyama (Forbidden Siren) in particular.

 

During this event, Hideo Kojima and Suda 51 would have referred to Snatcher in a rather marked way according to the site 1up, it acts of an old play of adventure conceived by Hideo Kojima for the account of Konami and published on several machines Mega-CD, PlayStation and Saturn in particular.

 

Snatcher is held in an post-apocalyptic world populated of artificial lives humanoïdes known under the name of 'Snatchers' which kill their victims to take their appearance and thus to infiltrate more easily the company, and it is an amnesic named Gilian Seed, working for the section of police force responsible for the anti-Snatcher fight, which will have to carry out the survey into these strange creatures.

 

Several rumours ran already concerning a possible continuation developed on Wii according to information of site IGN, certain Project S of Hideo Kojima, today one includes/understands perhaps better the significance of the lette S (for Snatcher)...

 

Hideo Kojima and Suda 51 should speak about their secret project in the days which come.

 

 

 

Wii winning back lost gamers

 

A survey conducted by Enterbrain shows that the Wii is doing something a lot better than the other consoles…bringing back gamers that have left the scene.

46% of Wii players polled said they hadnʼt touched a console in 3 years or more. The Wii is also winning over families.

Itʼs no surprise that the Wii is the number one console for family play, and that the console is most likely to be found in a family/living room rather than a bedroom, or other room in the house.

Former EA vets Start up Jet Black Games

Developers specialising in Nintendo DS and Wii.

 

 

Former games industry veterans from Electronic Arts Canada have set up a new development studio called Jet Black Games and will concentrate on developing original and licensed intellectual properties for Wii and DS.

 

Roger Freddi, co-founder and CEO of Jet Black Games, has previously worked on big EA titles such as the FIFA series and 007: Nightfire. Speaking about the new venture, Freddi revealed: "With the launch of our new studio, we've brought together all the key elements to develop top games: proven experience and talent, the desire to push the creative envelope [and] commitment to making games we ourselves want to play."

 

Jet Black has currently only revealed that it's working on an as-yet-unannounced Xbox Live Arcade title, however we expect more information on its Wii and DS projects in the near future. You can take a look at Jet Black Games's website.

 

 

 

Neo Geo games to hit Virtual Console worldwide

 

 

In an interview with IGN, SNK Playmore USA President Ben Herman revealed that Neo Geo games would be available for the Wii Virtual Console in all regions sometime this summer. The games, some of which originally retailed for over $200, will be priced for download "just a little above the Super NES point" of $8 per game, Herman said. What a difference 17 years makes ...

 

Herman didn't reveal exactly which games would be initially available, but hinted that King of Fighters 94 and the original Metal Slug might be early candidates. Herman also hinted at plans to make classic SNK content available for Xbox Live and Sony's upcoming PlayStation Home service. Add in the Neo Geo games currently available on GameTap and these once hard-to-find games will soon be available around every corner.
