I expected this to be posted on the main site stat.

Interview with Starfox DS, Wii Sports + Animal Crossing creator: Mr Eguchi, what was idea behind creating Wii Sports? "Initially when I was told the features that would be included in the Wii, because of the motion sensor I thought that swinging is very natural. And when I was thinking about different applications for that swing I thought sport is something that everyone understands; everyone's picked up a racket at some point in their lives or swung a bat, so that's kind of how we came to use tennis, baseball and golf." Will there be other sports featured in the game? "Within the Wii Sports category there are action sports like tennis, baseball, golf and then we have motor sports, so you might see something like a jetski or a bike. There could be various applications within motor sports but they will all exist within the Wii Sports title. "What's on the show floor is just kind of a sample. We don't know exactly what we'll have yet. There will probably be more action sports and motor sports." Will the Wii Sports games be multiplayer? "The baseball game that we have on the show floor is just a home run derby but there are also versions where one player is the pitcher and one is batting - both players using Wii Remotes. It's actually a lot of fun. I don't know if you've had chance to play it but there is a real battle between the pitcher and the batter because the pitcher could throw a fast ball and then on the next turn throw a slow ball, and throw the batter's timing off." What can you tell us about a potential Animal Crossing game for Wii? "Unfortunately there isn't a whole lot I can tell you right now but I can tell you that, because of the controller, you'll be chopping down trees by swinging your arm, you'll be digging holes by kind of making a digging motion at the ground, you'll be fishing just like you're holding a fishing rod. "In addition, through WiiConnect24 even while a player isn't playing in their town, a friend could come visit them and leave them a letter or gift - so there's that aspect of the Wii that will definitely affect the game." Can you give us any more examples of what WiiConnect24 will offer? "If a player is playing a game where they have a score, it could be posted to a scoreboard showing all the rankings of people throughout the world. That might be one application. Unfortunately I can't really share any more than that because right now we're still very much in the planning stages. "Also, you know the caricatures of Mr Iwata and Mr Miyamoto playing Wii Sports Tennis at the media briefing? Miyamoto-san has actually expressed a desire to allow people to create several such caricatures and send them out over WiiConnect24. That could be a possibility. Maybe if you have a member of your family that's particularly good at art, they might be able to pick up the Wii controller and create a caricature very simply. The images of Miyamoto-san and Iwata-san were also created very easily." You're also working on StarFox DS. We were really impressed by the single-player game on the show floor. What will the online gameplay be like? "It'll be similar to Mario Kart in that you can play online with friends and strangers, with four pilots in one match and everyone using an Arwing. So just think of Mario Kart as a guide to how StarFox will work." As big fans of multiplayer Mario Kart, we can't wait to try it with StarFox! Mr Eguchi, thanks for your time.

Gameboy SP had changeable tops, same with GC.

Im not sure why he thinks Moore said that but okay. In short: Whatever you get, get a Wii too.

Heh, yeh he is. Theres only 10 on the page, and theres no torture unfortunately

I sent an email to Nintendo talking about how to improve their WiFi, it was very long and had many links to forums where people hated friend codes. Hope they consider it What have you been smoking? What arse would do that? You could just block/ignore them.

No matter what happens, fight to survive.

I'd love to go to a midnight opening. But to be honest i'm pretty worried of doing that. I'm just ordering on line, 1st class 'n all.

It's when you run one way very fast, jump and as soon as you do, use the dodge move (R and bottom left/right) in whichever way your running, and keep doing it. I think. It makes you go real fast. Personally I never use it, or the C-Stick. A fun tip. If you have 2 players. Choose 2 Luigi's. Make them face each other but not touching, then use Up+B on the 1st Luigi, then Up+B on the second and keep going, they keep knocking each other up (er..). Quite fun.

You do that then, and good luck with about 25 signatures.

Revolutionary. *shot*

I agree with you on some parts, but the logo makes it seem alot better for some reason. Be right back, gotta go wii.

That was a rather humerous photoshop.

What he said.

- same with Mana - and Rocket Slime. Looks blubby good.

Subscribe to ONM - £10 for 3 issues. Free Donkey Konga game.

Not many people have said it - but I think Jungle Beat is a bongo-based tour de force. The graphics, music and how you control it all combine to make an amazing experience. Play a few levels and you'll love it.

Hmm, I coulden't stand DK64. Well - didn't like it much. Jungle Beat was awesome and graphically outstounding though.

It was on the release list at last E3, but never showed up - like Tetris DS (and look how that turned out). But it's still in development.

I need to start saving for all 20 launch games. But unless theres a better FPS coming out at launch, I'm grabbing this. But I'd even buy this and Metroid Prime 3. Oh wait, I also need all those frickin NES/SNES/N64/Mega Drive games.

Yeh you can, you can knock the sword/gun out of there hand and interogate them or get them to work for you. And apparently, the AI are suppose to be amazing in this game.

Oh it's still in development, they just weren't ready to show it last E3. Im predicting they'll show Dread this E3, it had a lot of development time.

Isn't that a disease?

Right, well teh guy who originally scanned in the Red Steel Revolution scans made a post saying: "I won't even tell you guys about Halo: Orion" about 3 minutes after he posted in the scans and got 10k+ hits.

Whatever you said there was crap. Same to you.
