Recommended Posts

Well I think there will be a lot of new release dates, a few more new games that aren't megatons but certainly interesting.

Probably more details and videos of games that haven't been touched upon for a while, like Disaster.

 

Maybe a Starfox game (please)? Pikmin (not for me)?

Questions

-Sadness Rep contacted Matt before GDC, said hey lets meet up you can play it and post some videos.... Never Showed Up.

-Brawl Review?? - Very very soon. Score has been the same for a month. "It'll be in the 9.0's"

-Other Hardcore wii titles at nintendo getting Mini'd?- "No spoke to some people at GDC, their projects are still going as planned, expect some amazing things from them"

-MLB 2k8?? - Not a serious attempt on Wii. No online, graphics, controls are a slap in the face from 2k.

-Wheres the dark game?? - One was Deadly Creatures, the one they promised for valentines day. The one that was suppose to be on this podcast got pushed. Matt: "Right now someone on gaf is saying, Stupid Douche" (probably on N-Europe too). Excuses are made, fingers pointed at the Dev.....

-Capcom planning tons of Wii-REmakes? - If resident evil 0 sells......

-Thoughts on Vanilla Ware title? - "looks badass". A chance for a U.S. release if it picks up.

-God Game? - the company was bought buy THQ, no word from THQ if its still around.

-Wii Zelda announcement this year? - "thinking no"

-Mini racers VC chance? - "that would be sweat"

-Does Dedede really suck in Brawl? - Yes. 4 Player he's good not 1 on 1. Nate at the treehouse claims he can rock with Dedede

-Someone calls Ign out on being a PR extension, no more exclusives?- Reggie interview example of an exclusive, they steer clear of rumors, they have a source that wants them to bring back Ed the Janitor rumor section, they may bring it back when they feel comfortable to do so.

-Revived franchises on wii? Any 3rd Party? - The Ones we know about are First party.

-3rd Part Wii games '08? - Going in, its a bit slim.

-How would you use DS/Wii Connectivity? - Bozon: Madden, to draw receiver routes, or select plays in local play.

-Creepy voice chat premier? - Not creepy, unconventional. Its confirmed at this point. By 3rd quarter.

-Smash? - Still playing, 50+ hours. At the point where he wishes there were more characters, but could also be he just needs more people to play.

35 characters not enough! Seriously, it's like they're looking for things to whine.

Capcom annoys me. It's love/hate actually. Zack & Wiki is phenomenal, RE4 Wii is great and Okami will probably be too, but do they still think Wii is a test zone? Still, they're better than most.

So, one week "hardcore" games are getting mini'd and now they're not? Steering clear of rumours indeed.

I think Capcom is doing rather well. Resident Evil Zero is a bit random, but it's as if they're trying to fill holes in an empty market with it, which is kind of an okay attempt. They will probably have a Wii blowout at the E3, at least I hope they will. I also expect other third parties to unveil major projects for Wii, as they should have been smelling money for a year by then.

To be honest we really can't complain about Capcom, just look at the quality of games they've released over the last few years! Viewtiful Joe, RE4 and Zack and Wiki just to name a few!

 

A bit confused as to why they would want to re-release RE0 other then maybe a quick cash in? Couldn't even see this game selling much really, wish they would just put the money instead towards a new IP or Zack and Wiki sequel!

Really hope RE0 doesn't sell, or make it to the US or Europe!

 

That'll show Capcom from the great sales of RE:UC that we want NEW games!

I couldn't stand another port of Resi 2 & 3 with effectively Playstation1 visuals!

 

Hope so but a large majority of that million sales were from fans, and they'll lap up the wii-makes.

Resi is one of the few great series that gets around the consoles a lot.

Summary (by Milabrega at neogaf)

 

Smash:

-The Ign guys(Bozon) can not connect to random Brawl matches with US version

-Very angered at the in-game communication (the lack of)

-Its peer to peer not server based

-Smash World. A hub for custom created stages. Looking to add screen shots and replays for it soon. Just requires and SD card.

 

Mario Kart:

-"Rubber banding is bigger in this game then I've ever seen" Bozon

-Wider maps, Slower

-You can only trick with the wii-mote

-The new powerslide speed boost is very insignificant, doesn't really reward any skill to use it

-50cc, it feels like slow motion. They make jokes about how big a joke it is to come in first on 50cc.

-You can turn items off in verses, Aggressive, Balanced, and Off. You can't turn off items individually.

-NDA'd on wifi options.

-If they were to rate it today "7.5 and 7.8"

 

The World Ends with You:

-You use the touchscreen phantom hourglass style to do moves with your main character, and the D-pad to do combo's with your AI character on the top screen.

 

Wii Love Golf

-Online mode added to it.

 

Mushroom Men

-Damon is Embargo'd until Wednesday, played it.

-Trailer Coming

 

Line(?) Rider

-You can share user content over Wifi

 

Wii Balance Board

-Matt went on a publisher tour promoting Ign. A lot companies mention they are making a Balance Board Game.

 

Wiifit

-Won't be counted as software so won't be in NPD.

 

~Matt Speculates on another game he'll be playing soon that'll have everyone rocking. Bozon "oh i know what it is, I am now very excited for 2008 Wii"

Craig "I won't comment either way"

 

Reader Questions

-When Craig jumped into Fran's Game, someone else was there who he didn't have the FC, but an option came up for him to add that person.

-E3? ~ A lot of publishers are not looking at E3 for big announcements anymore, but Nintendo looks like its going to make a bigger splash than last year

-Why is Nintendo Anti Earthbound? ~ No intention of releasing it in the US on VC, thats obvious. We're lucky NoA didn't take out LUcas/Ness and the Mother stage.

-Guesses?, Following franchises we may see by the end of the year? ~" AC yes, F zero No, Pilotwings not exactly, Pikmin yes, Kid Icarus Absolutely". "...and cue the phone call by Reggie", "Come on man, the rumors are already out there"

-Voicechat E3, before or after? ~ It may be later

-Lit? ~ 2 Programmers, 2 artists, Bozon is main designer. Light and Dark Based game. Zack and Wiki point and click. Wii-Ware

-Drifting Like mario kart arcade/diddy kong racing with a hop? ~ Ya, pretty close.

-De Blob a sleeper like ZnW? ~ Not on ZnW levels. Could be in the 8's. Regular game could go on any system, you just lift remote to jump

 

Wiik in review name change coming. Will now be on Mondays going forward... they were thinking Nintendudes, or mushroom chaps.

Resume:

 

- Talk about Smash Bros. Brawl Sales

- More about NPD sales

- Obscure: The Aftermath - cheesy version of RE, 4:3 and 480I, stiff animations, some decent environments. Good soundtrack and weird comments about cleavage shots.

- PES 2008 is really good, great controls, lots of options, pretty much the best Wii sports game. Online and WiiConnect 24 options where you can trade rosters with friends. Play your friends team (controlled by AI), Mii integration.

- Wii Love Golf - Online mode, Mii integration, coverage coming soon

- Reggie promises big game for e3, confirm Kid Icarus

- Mario Kart Wii Battle Mode is very fun, 12 players. Single player separates you into teams, not sure if you'll be able to choose online because you can't in their build.

- Talk about Smash Bros.online, unplayable at some points.

-The World Ends With You - really great game, best SE DS game, good soundtrack, Art Style will be awesome for some, others will not like it. Crazy, innovative game with lots of cool gameplay elements. Tight controls, you can have AI control the top screen.

-EarthBound probably not going to the VC anytime soon.

-Retro is working on a new game, but they don't know anything about yet

Wow....they actually found a name worse than Wii-k in.

 

Lol, yeah.

 

Also, dunno if this has been happening with anyone else but I have had bother getting the past few Wii-k in reviews on iTunes and that has continued with Episode 1 of the Nintendo Voice Chat. I ended up manually downloading the past few Wii-ks but I might wait a day or two and see if this updates in iTunes.

IGN's Matt talks more shit than someone who specialises in the creation and selling of horse minure.

 

He "confirms" stuff when 90% of the time he's just talking out of his own ass.

The man doesn't have a clue. He keeps confirming new exciting projects which never materialise. If he's not going to say something, don't taunt everyone with "wait and see".
