Wiiva la Revolution!! {News Topic}

[nkarafo]

Μισό για να καταλάβω. Μπορούμε και κατεβάζουμε τα παιχνίδια όπως στην VC.

Demo θα υπάρχουν;

 

Θα μπορούμε να κατεβάζουμε νέα παιχνίδια μέσω wii points όπως στην VC αλλά με την διαφορά πως αυτά θα είναι ολοκαίνουρια φρέσκα παιχνίδια κατασκευασμένα αποκλειστικά για το Wii και θα εκμεταλλεύονται όσο μπορούν τις δυνατότητες του, αποτελούμενα από μικρά μεγέθη αρχείων.

Demo δεν ξέρω αν θα υπάρξουν. Είχε βγει το demo του Dr.Mario για λίγες ώρες αλλά μετά το αφαιρέσανε. Ο λόγος άγνωστος.

Katamari canned on Wii?

It's been cancelled, according to Wal-mart.

 

The little hammerhead prince and his bonkers giant sticky ball rolling game will never come to Wii, according to major US retailer Wal-Mart.

 

The mental Katamari series, which started off on PS2 but more recently hit 360 with Beautiful Katamari, was slated for a Wii (and DS) release when the game's director Jun Morikawa mentioned it at the Tokyo Game Show.

 

Nothing has been officially said since, but Wal-Mart reckons it's been completely canned following a series of delays. "Maybe this game will be available at a future date", it says, but there's no option to pre-order the title with the retailer.

 

Namco's inbox has been hit. Here's hoping for a reply.

Nintendo: Wii Has Highest Software Sales for First 18 Months

 

More games were purchased in the first 18 months of the Wii's life than any other console's first year and a half, Nintendo said today.

 

About 50 million games were sold for the Wii in its first 18 months, compared to about 42 million games in the first 18 months of the Playstation 2's life. The Xbox 360 came in at 30 million or so, the Xbox at roughly 28 million and finally the Playstation 3 at about 20 million.

 

Speaking to a gathering at the Electronic Gaming Summit, Cammie Dunaway, executive video president of sales and marketing for Nintendo of America, Dunaway used the numbers to launch into a talk about Nintendo's strategy for expanding the market.

 

Dunaway also showed a chart plotting out the first 18 months of each console's life. According to the chart, about 9.5 million Wii were sold in the first 18 months, 8.5 million PS2, 5.4 million Xbox 360, 5.2 million Xbox and 4.2 Playstation 3.

 

"While we appreciate the impact the Playstation 2 had on sales and the industry, perhaps we are even more impactful," Dunaway said, adding that there wasn't a single month in the Wii's first year and a half when Nintendo could meet demand.

Pokemon MMO being pitched

WiiWare developer speaking to Nintendo...

 

Noooo, the developer of WiiWare title Pop, has said it's in the process of pitching a Pokemon MMO to Nintendo.

 

After the relative success of its WiiWare game, Noooo has listed a number of ideas it's pitching to developers. At least one of which involves Nintendo.

 

"We have a concept for a cool Pokemon MMORPG," the development company has posted on its website.

 

While it's highly doubtful such a small company could develop the product, there is the possibility that Nintendo will buy it out and supplement its workforce.

 

That is, unless Nintendo isn't actually working on a Pokemon MMO. Given the obvious possibilities of wandering around challenging players and collecting Pokemon, we'd be surprised if Miyamoto hadn't got a few people locked away somewhere working on it.

Official Nintendo Magazine confirms Elebits 2 for Wii

 

Weʼve been going off of retail placeholder listings for awhile, but now we can lay this all to rest. Elebits 2 is indeed heading to the Wii, according to the latest issue of Official Nintendo Magazine (UK). No specific details were mentioned, but I would guess that weʼll be hearing about the game soon. It seems like a title that Konami would want to get out by the holidays. I wonder if it was shown at Konamiʼs event, but itʼs embargoed.

 

 

 

KORE coming to Nintendo Wii

 

"KORE", formerly known as "The Kore Gang", is based on an original concept created by swedish studio ZOINK Games. ZOINK had originally partnered with game development house UDS to produce the game for Xbox. After UDS went out of business, the project was taken back to the drawing board. In 2007, ZOINK partnered with game developer SnapDragon Games to bring the game to Nintendo Wii. In the process, the game was redesigned, many new features added, and the visuals overhauled to create an experience that will take platforming on the Wii to the next level. Klaus Lyngeled, Creative Director at Zoink, is the creative force behind the project: "KORE stands out not only for its rich gameplay experience and signature art style, but also for its wacky scenario and sense of humour. During the last years, a vast amount of work has gone into the design as well as into the story and cinematics, and I am sure the audience will appreciate the way we poured our heartblood into it."

 

Christian Von Duisburg, CEO of SnapDragon Games, comments: "KORE is an incredibly powerful IP and we are proud to be working on this high profile title."

Portugal based GameInvest announced Aquatic Tales, an underwater adventure game designed to turn your screen into a living aquarium, and teach important lessons about conserving our oceans.

 

From the TV to the PC and the handheld, Aquatic Tales is designed to turn your screen into a living aquarium, and teach important lessons about conserving our oceans. With a cast of aquatic creatures on a thrilling journey and an original musical score, this game is sure to have the whole family playing and singing together.

 

"Saving the environment is an important issue that we wanted to bring to audiences through a fun and engaging game," said GameInvest founder and CEO Paulo Gomes. "Aquatic Tales includes important messages about preserving our oceans within an immersive and entertaining gaming experience."

 

Aquatic Tales immerses players in an adventure where they will guide and protect a family of endangered fish on a journey to safety. The importance of family and teamwork will resonate with people of all ages, creating an experience for the whole family. Oceanic preservation and conservation themes are communicated throughout the game. Intuitive controls using a DS stylus, mouse or Wii Remote make this game easily accessible to everyone. Cheerful and spirited music scores throughout the game will inspire the whole family to sing along.

 

Discover a cast of characters in this underwater adventure. For millions of years, the Arawak aquatic tribe prevailed in the North American rivers. An ancient prophecy claimed that the Arawaks would eventually see the end of their species due to the arrival of a mysterious tribe polluting their native rivers. Now at the brink of extinction, the last of the Arawak tribe must journey to a new habitat, Sisikwa, a sanctuary in the Amazon River, to save their species and live prosperously. Save and restore the Arawak tribe through 25 challenging levels and seven beautiful worlds in Aquatic Tales.

 

Aquatic Tales will be available worldwide this holiday season.

Μόλις το κάνεις εγκατάσταση αποθηκεύει στην flash ένα νέο kernel του Wii αν θυμάμαι το λένε IOS371 είναι αργά τώρα για να κάθομαι να ψάχνω

το οποίο αποτρέπει το trucha exploit.Με απλά ελληνικά ξεχνάς τα κατεβασμένα VC games και κάθε είδους homebrew channel.

Ακόμη και να το έκανες update δεν έχει ενεργοποιηθεί ακόμη για κάποιο λόγο.

Η nintendo μπορεί να το ενεργοποιεί όταν βάζεις κάποιο καινούριο παιχνίδι.

Έχετε παρατηρήσει κάποιες φορές που βάζετε ένα παιχνίδι και λέει Updating και κάνει πολύ γρήγορα;Στην ουσία δεν κάνει update(άν έχεις ήδη το τελευταίο update)αλλά ενεργοποιεί το νέο IOS.Ο Bushing πιστεύει ότι θα το ενεργοποιήσει η Nintendo με την ευρωπαική έκδοση του SSBB.

Alone in the Dark Hands-on

Insert joke about playing with a Wii crossed with the game's title here.

 

Seriously, that will be the last joke about being alone with your Wii in the dark. Though, that would probably be the best way to play a game like Alone in the Dark, a soon to be released revival of the classic franchise by Atari. At a recent showcase event we got a chance to take the Wii version of the multiplatform release for a spin. While it isn't 100% identical to the Xbox 360 or PC builds, the storyline and most of the content are the same and Atari has infused the Wii motion controls into every aspect of the game...

Nintendo Not Attending Leipzig This Year

 

We just got a press release from Nintendo of Europe, announcing that Nintendo will not be attending the Games Convention in Leipzig later this year. Seems that recent events like local shows and roadshows (for both the public and media) have "led to many positive experiences", so after E3 they'll be sticking to more of those, and ditching their presence at Europe's largest gaming expo. Strange move, what with Leipzig attracting around 185,000 people last year and all, but whatever. While they stress the decision isn't a criticism of Leipzig, it's important to note that at the conclusion of the presser, Nintendo Germany's Dr. Bernd Fakesch iterates that this decision applies only to GC 2008, the last year it'll be held in Leipzig. As for next year's bigger, better, badder Games Con in Köln, they say they'll "evaluate" the decision next year. Right. Poor Leipzig. What'd it ever do to you, Nintendo?
