hmm why exactly do you find the timing bad for Wario or the upcoming Mario Party game? I rather have em now then later . Especially since Wario Ware was great and Mario Party looks to be the same !

but I loved the Wario Ware stye and easy graphics. That game makes sense with the graphics it has. And Wii play was just a tech demo compilation I guess. We got it at launch in europe so it was probably rushed

Ok. I have always accepted that developers did not have enough time to put some polish on the graphics during the launch period. Hell games like Rayman Raving Rabbids even looked nice enough for me not to worry about them graphicly. But coming out with something months after launch with something that is going to look like an N64 title is one step too far. I visited IGN today to look at some new screenshots and saw some Godfather screens posted.I could not believe my eyes. This looks like an upscaled N64 game. It truly does. How the hell can we go from a last generation gamecube game that looks like this: To something that looks like this: 1. Hey, let's use super low res blurry textures to increase the fun! 2. It's a shame our modeler went on a vacation cause all he left us were mega crappy low polygon models, oh well, let's use them anyway and fire him afterwards! 3. Hey, I got an idea to increase framerate with 40%, let's not use any lighting in the game, just fullbright, that will make out crappy models and textures even better! 4. Let's use the basic wall texture that came with our Quake 2 engine for this level. Don't forget to turn on fullbright and turn off shaders for that awesome oldskool N64 look! 5. WOW, we actually managed to use a 3D background instead of a 2D one, but the texture artist must have used his webcam when he created this texture! my eyes are still bleeding as I type this . Some developers don't deserve to have a Wii dev kit!

I never ran into any bug so far except for this weird high tone peeping the Zelda Twilight Princess makes my Wii make when it has been in the same area for a long time ( had it in the water temple a few times )

Picked this up yesterday ( pal launch ). Luckely you can change the music cause it really sucks but the gameplay has been pretty good so far. I pretty much always got an S rank on the first try at the moment because it's really easy, but it might become harder once I finish the gold cup. The graphics could use a bit more polish though... oh well. I also find it kinda weird to drive without using a steerig wheel thingie because flicking the remote up and down gets me confused lol. they could have released this at launch for europe though...

I have been using the wifi stick since it was released for the DS. It's a horror on many levels in terms of installation. It should work easily and normally does, but when your setup alters a bit, it will fail to work and bah it's just crap. Still using it though...

My girlfriend and I are liking it a lot. A lot of aspects of this game make it stand out. Like the humor and the pick up and play ease to name just a few. I like it how all minigames are perfectly doable. Some of them can seem really hard at first ( like the one where you have to close the doors to keep rabbits in their toilet house, or the one where you have to roll a ball trough a maze in less then 30 seconds.), but after trying a few times and getting the play method right, it's possible . All in all, this game is great. A good mix of easy and harder games and a lot of humor. Nice one Ubi!

hehe, the fishing with the first rod is a bit hard step one: throw your line in the water around some fish step two: wait till fishies come by and when the rod pulls down and goes under wait about 1 to 2 secs and then pull up your rod step three: when done properly , FISH ON will show on screen and then you just hold the wii remote still next to your head. It should catch fish that way

wait, there's a Nintendo in Europe?

the wii doesn't emulate gamecube games, it just runs em of the hardware since the Wii is a gamecube plus

I fail to see the joke.

Quote from conference: "In the very near future we'll be launching another console that will go even further in making games accessible and fun for everyone." Anyone have a guess? New gameboy maybe?

Cause black people would wear them around their neck.

hmm, don't think it's our job to advertise for them! Let Nintendo do the work, we know they are more then capable

notice how the movements run behind in this game. They swing the controller to the sides and it happens on screen a few moments later... kinda sad. I saw it work great in red steel so i'm sure it's not running behind.

problem is, if the game hits the net a couple of days early, then we're bound to get it early and play it before the Wii version comes out in stores. Somehow i'll have to manage to wait

When I think about the codename " Revolution ", I think about Nintendo ON, and the great rumor rides we had back before the TGS show where the controller was first shown. I remember SeriousLamer, and the chat room everyone was in during the TGS show and everyone going WTF and most of them including me having stayed up all night to witness the unvealing. Aaaah, good times, good times.

So I was browsing trough an issue of N64 magazine with the label " How Nintendo's Gamecube will DESTROY Microsoft's Xbox and Sony's PS2 " ( rofl ) And near the end it had some fun parody on Pokémon Snap. Then it got me thinking. Using the Wii remote as a camera would be fun! I found Pokémon Snap on N64 really original but short, but I had a lot of fun with it. So imagine that you hold the controller like a camera and you go trough the game like that. with a real camera . The speaker could even make a photo click sound . Woot ! what do u guys think?

Mario's Wii is missing sounds extremely good. One can only wonder how the public will receive that title

exactly what it says, there's nothing really technical about the info, apart from the cpu/gpu stuff. Quite easily understandable to the average computer geek

Anyone else think it's just Wii Orchestra?

hmm... trailer didn't spark my interest. All looked stylish but boring at the same time. Voices sounded like they came from Sonic lol. You can't really tell if it's completely in game or not. SOme parts were clearly not in game while the characters always looked like normal in game cell shaded ones. Weird Still, who cares, we can't really make anything out of it. If it's anything like Killer 7, they can put it on the scrapheap for me already.

I know what you mean... I got the feeling he steals children at night.

Most of those games WILL be in fact ports with Wii support.

Look at how low res the textures look on the ps3 version. Stop worrying, the Wii is fine
