There's been a bit of Wii-vival in my household recently. I've been taking care of my youngest niece (7 years old) on a number of occasions and I usually let her play Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on my Switch.

I booted up my Wii last week for the first time in a while. Had a pretty frustrating couple of days at work and by the end I was fed up so much I needed to let off some steam, so I booted up Wii Sport

Greg, you do realise this is all your fault, right?

Two Wii games have been reviewed in the latest Famitsu:

 

It's so annoying that we will probably never see the DQ game get a western release as it looks fantastic. I suppose it's not all bad, we will get LET'S PARTY: FAMILY EDITION 17 instead. :hmm:

OK so a trip to New York enabled me to take in the sights and sounds of the Nintendo World Store, and very nice it was too!

 

Downstairs was basically DS, upstairs Wii, with plenty of demo pods in both, with Wii titles such as Wii Sports, SSBB, Punch Out Wii, Mario Baseball, NSMB Wii and Tatsunoko vs Capcom all being shown off and played.

 

Place was off course also filled with collectables, t-shirts and the like, and displays of past consoles.

 

Few pics...

My God, now can NOT wait! Will be going to The Big Apple the 27th of July :D
You'll love it!

It's on the edge of Rockefeller Centre (48th street & Fifth)... which is handy because you ABSOLUTELY have to go to the top of the Rockefeller Tower (Top of the Rock... google it) whilst you're there. It's the same price (around $20) as going to the top of the Empire State, only with better views (Central Park), and the fact that you get the Empire State building in your photos.

Do the Empire State aswell of course.

Satoru Iwata cannot comment on the Wii2 in fear of being copied but it is being developed (which was obvious)

 

It does beg the question though, if Nintendo are worried about being copied then they must have something new on the cards? I wonder what they will do next. I assumed the Wii2 would be the Wii but with improved motion controls and graphics but by the sounds of it, it could be something completely different.

People have told them it is Kirby, so Daily Mail changes it as Pokemon.

Wii Party / Metroid Other M Tidbit - NCL

 

  Quote
1. NdCube which originally started as a subsidiary Nintendo company for GameCube and Game Boy Advance development, started as a joint venture with 78% shares for Nintendo and 13% shares by Dentsu (Nintendo's advertizing firm). But the company has struggled and lost several employees to SONY. As of 2010, Nintendo has completely overhauled the developer and bought out Dentsu's small shares, and now is the sole proprietor. NdCube is now being considered a Nintendo R&D instead of just a subsidiary as per Nd Cube's website. Nintendo has also expanded the studio, by opening a second division in Sapporo and Tokyo. Both near Nintendo's branch offices.

 

2. Mario Party is definitely in danger of being less poignant. Not only is Wii Party very successful in Japan, but lead Mario Party staff has indeed left Hudson and joined Nd Cube. For those who don't know the original Mario Party staff was actually a Nintendo/Hudson joint venture called Monegi. Although because of their invisible credits, everyone solely credits Hudson.

 

3. Wii Party from concept was designed to capture a larger audience than Mario Party.

 

4. Sakamoto explains that Metroid was conceived with a deep story from the beginning. But game development was very different when the game was first conceived. As technology and development has sophisticated, Sakamoto has been able to express the story himself and some of the original design team have encapsulated. This game in particular is a very "romantic" project for him, and something full of many ideas formed in the past years.

"Mario Party is definitely in danger of being less poignant."

 

Thank fuck - the series has been going down the toilet since Mario Party 4! Something new is fine with me!
