Excelle Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 I'll probably be getting this (when I get my Wii). Puzzle games like this are sadly lacking in the market these days - if it's not a 'party game' or interspersed with pointless platforming sections, it doesn't get released. I remember back in the good old Amiga days with games like Pushover, X-It, Benefactor, Chips Challenge etc. Perfect for consoles too.
motion Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 & you'll be one of the ONLY people on Planet Earth to buy this game and this is really unfortunate. We need more people like you to buy these mediocre experimentation games to keep third party developers developing for Wii. If the games don't perform sales wise, they'll flock to Playstation 3 instead... I'll probably get it. Ouch SO MUCH FOR THAT THEORY!
motion Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 Ooooo a Marble Madness-a-like. Ok screw Mercury, I'm getting Kororinpa! Cheers.
Excelle Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 Better game to get is this. Wrong, best game to get is both :D
solitanze Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 Wrong, best game to get is both :D Correct, these mediocre efforts need to be purchased to continue third party support for Wii. Through this initial support during the experimental phase, we'll probably see a slurry of higher quality titles, when the user base is CONFIRMED.
Excelle Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 You could say that you get better quality in titles like this, as it's a simpler concept, so the majority of the development can be spent on polish and content, rather than the gameplay mechanics themselves. But that'd just be a sweeping statement wouldn't it :)
Crazyreyn Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 Am I the only one that things the graphics actually look decent?
Retro_Link Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 Trailer http://www.gametrailers.com/player.php?id=17765&type=wmv&pl=game Good advert, but the game doesn't look to be as good as Kororinpa or Monkey Ball; have to wait and see!
Domstercool Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 Don't understand the dissing of this game. It's been proven already that it is a good game after getting a release on the PSP. It certainly looks better than Kororinpa and it is more challenging. I'm taking this over Kororinpa anyday.
Retro_Link Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 Trailer 2 http://www.gametrailers.com/player.php?id=18531&type=wmv&pl=game Not sure about this, I'm not too keen on the art style and it just looks a bit slow. Maybe it just wasn't that great a trailer!
Excelle Posted May 16, 2007 Posted May 16, 2007 Isn't this meant to be out next Friday along with Mario Strikers? Amazon has it down for that date and my local GAME has boxes on the shelves with preorder stickers. I quite want this, but I'm getting Strikers so it's got no chance for a month or so
The Lillster Posted May 16, 2007 Posted May 16, 2007 I've got this game for my PSP, and it's really good and challenging. Dunno if i'll get it for the Wii though.
The Lillster Posted May 16, 2007 Posted May 16, 2007 9/10 on Eurogamer. What score did they give to the PSP version? (Not that I care as I have it and know it's awesome).
gekko Posted May 16, 2007 Posted May 16, 2007 Yep, I've been wondering if it's coming out next Friday. I've got it on pre-order at Amazon but wasn't sure whether the date given was right. If Game have it on their shelves with pre-order stickers it's seeming quite likely though. Having loved Kororinpa, I'm really looking forward to this title. Getting Mario Strikers too so looking forwards to getting back into my Wii after a spell on the DS.
Kaxxx Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 Out this Friday in the UK (8th June) and getting some high scores. Eurogamer: 9 EDGE: 8 IGN: 7.9 Official Nintendo Mag: 81% NGamer: 80% A must buy for me.
rokhed00 Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 Looks like I may be getting a review copy of this, which is nice.
mike-zim Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 To be fair i think it is better suited to a handheld. my oppinion any way.
Excelle Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 Out this Friday in the UK (8th June) and getting some high scores. Eurogamer: 9 EDGE: 8 IGN: 7.9 Official Nintendo Mag: 81% NGamer: 80% A must buy for me. Really? Sweet, I want this too. Might wait and get it for my birthday (start of July) though.
gekko Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 Mine's just been dispatched from Amazon. Really looking forward to playing it now. I've been having Kororinpa withdrawals ever since completing it and this one is supposed to be pretty damn hard.
Excelle Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 Anyone got this? How are you finding it? I really have too much Zelda to get through to buy it just yet
gekko Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 It's a lot of fun actually. I'm on the third lab out of eight (I think) and it's become quite challenging. It's been easy to progress but getting decent scores is starting to get more difficult now. The game is about mental agility as well as manual dexterity as you have to split the mercury up, change its colour and mix them in order to get through coloured barriers etc. This means you sometimes end up spending the first go on a level just figuring out what you need to do and the best strategy. It's pretty addictive in that 'I'll just play another level' kind of way.
