Most: Super Mario Galaxy Least: Necro-Nesia

Ofcourse it's a blog. He wants to remain anonymous. the fact that something is a blog, doesn't automaticly mean that it is fake. It's fine to be reserved and doubt it, but can you actually tell it's all BS that he is saying? I don't know...

Does anyone know this guy's blog? He says he works at Nintendo and has some interesting reeds. I'm pretty reseved about these blogs but he has some great ideas: http://saruwatari-wii.blogspot.com/

Well, actually Matt Cassamawhatshisname is very positive about the games on the Wii. He thinks Mario galaxy was game of the show. The only thing he is saying is that the wii will not be as powerfull as many people hope and that a lot of the games we saw at E3 were played on near final development kits. He wants Nintendo to be succesfull, but questions certain decisions Nintendo makes concerning the hardware. I for one hope that some of the games will improve graphicly, because good quality graphics make the game more fun to play. And Nintendo always seems to deliver good graphics. That doesn't mean that things have to be more realisticly. I just want developpers to make an effort to make things look good. The Tony Hawk screenshots are awfull. I think they're early development screenshots but if they're not.... Then they think they can. Zelda looks fine (and a new Wii zelda wil lookeven better) Metroid looks fine (and a new wii metroid will look even better), Mario, looks perfect (because this game was made for the wii).Red steel looks good enough to buy at launch but should/could look a lot better in my opinion. The thing is, we are all guessing at this point ant we won't be sure untill Nintendo will show us what the Wii is actually capable of.

Nintendo Patent: "A graphics pipeline including: a recirculating texture unit including a texture coordinate processor, a texture mapper and a texture data feedback path that recirculates selected texture-mapped data from the texture mapper back to the texture coordinate processor; and a hardware shader that blends selected inputs to provide a calculated color or opacity output that is fed back for use as an input to the hardware shader for a subsequent blending operation, wherein said hardware shader includes a blending operation stage that provides both color blend and alpha blend operations, wherein said texture coordinate processor interleaves the processing of direct and indirect texture coordinates." What do you make of this? Displacement mapping?

although nobody knows for sure (ATI is still working on Wii components) it's pretty much a no go for shaders. Shader effects can be done with software, but that will consume a lot of working power. The Gamescube didn't support it either and develloping for the Wii is the same as develloping for the Gamecube. I'm still hoping for it though (but i;m also still hoping for HD support and 5.1 digital surround.) What is shocking to me is that Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam is running on Wii hardware... That's the ugliest game i've seen in years..... We'll probably have to wait untill the TGS in september what the Wii is finaly capabel of in terms of graphics.

no, that's how your world works. Do you live in Afghanistan by any chance?

wll, yeah,.. but that was just a 2d tag. This time hure head will be 3d and you will be a playable character

look who's talking. The face software is allready in an older gamecube game that was cancelled: http://media.cube.ign.com/media/482/482801/imgs_1.html Wii sports is gonig to use it. Now, you need a camera for this. Maybe you can upload a photo form your own camera with one of the USB ports, maybe Nintendo will introduce a Eyetoy like camera. They wanted one on the camecube vut for some reason decided not to. Also, look at this patent quote from Nintendo: Image processing system An image processing system includes a fixed-type game machine and a hand-held type game machine. To the hand-held type game machine, an imaging cartridge is attached, and therefore, when an operator photographs a face image of a desired object, for example, face image data corresponding thereto is produced. In addition, by operating an operating switch of the hand-held type game machine, the operator can input feature data representing a feature of the object. The hand-held type game machine transmits the face image data and the feature data to the fixed-type game machine. The fixed-type game machine deforms provisional three-dimensional character data selected by the operator based on the feature data, and attaches the face image data to the deformed provisional three-dimensional feature data so as to compose an image. A composed image is displayed on an image display device by an animation based on the feature data.

yeah, but this time there will be software that will transform that face into a 3d face. Much more like a character. nothing revolutionairy, but real fun i guess

Yes it is the kid. In the E3 2005 gameplay clips, you can see what happened. He gets abducted en Link goes out to save his sorry *ss

looks great, but isn't fishing a little bit boring to do on a television screen?....It's boring in real life too. I always thought that were just people that hated to be at home with their wives

ha!, this Wii console is going to be so much fun!

Relax Luke, it's a joke. I don't think they're pedophiles and i don't hate gay people. Link is a hero. Hero's are sexy (to gay people... )

so they're pedophiles AND gay? Link is just a boy. You bastards!

she is there because of the minigame that comes after the fishing ("hide the salami") sorry....that wasn't nice

Well almost, sensing is not the best of terms here. Sensor bar is a misleading term. It just registrates distance. The bluetooth is used for the information from the wii-mote to the console, like button info, sound, etc. Holding the wiimote as in Exite truck, you will only use the Bluetooth functionality, and not the infra red. In Red steel, Metroid and zelda, you will use both.

The wiimote uses both. That's how they can combine all the functions.

check out these vids. There the same areas but in a good resolution. I think this game will be great, and i think the graphics are the way Mario graphics should be. I'm really looking forward to this game. http://www.gameinformer.com/News/Media/Media.htm?CS_pid={C366AF10-4196-4CC6-BDF9-55A6406544BC}

oh, you should. It's your kind of game. More fire, more water, more poison, more electricity. You could kill pikmin all summer long. I always hated it if my pikmin died. I just loved to take revenge on the creatures that killed my pikmin (by throwing more pikmin at them...)

screw lightsaber action. what about using "the force" in new kinds of ways! Now you can actually push stormtoopers out of your way or throw them in the air and, okay, finish them of with your lasersword.

Yeah, isn't there a HD trailer somewhere. I want to have a better look at this years E3 trailer...

well, the graphics are so cube-like that i could imagine the game was running on cube hardware. It;s not that the Metroid 3 graphics are up to parrrr with the hardware at this point in time..

she'd better! I have a huge fishing rod and i can fish for hours and hours:bouncy:
