Goron_3 Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 The genesis quote is hilariously bad... Surely he realises that the genesis is like a genesis compared to the PS3/360...Maybe saying that it's like a genesis compared to the playstation might have been smarter... Idiot.
Fierce_LiNk Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 Who cares about Kirby? I do...now I feel less of a man because Pete Wanat doesn't. Pfff.
mcj metroid Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 Who cares about Kirby? I do...now I feel less of a man because Pete Wanat doesn't. Pfff. he made a lot of sense on his points though.. he may not be right but his attitude is shared among most developers..
Tellyn Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 he made a lot of sense on his points though.. he may not be right but his attitude is shared among most developers.. No it's not. There's a way of providing constructive criticism... and then there's this guy. I kind of lose respect for them immediately when they start swearing unnecessarily.
jammy2211 Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 His rant is priceless, he's a complete idiot. The best quote for me is when he calls Nintendo's Wii strategy "Going after the niche mass-market". Ahahaha. I can sort of see where some of what he's saying comes from, and the profit margins arn't exactly too nice on the Wii for American sales at least, plus the fact retailers are so shitty about taking in Wii games. He's made is far too biased to take serious though. The Invisible Walls crew were all clearly taking the piss out of him as he said it too lol.
Retro_Link Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Wii MotionPlus http://www.cubed3.com/news/11966 It seems that Wii Sports Resort won't be the first game to showcase MotionPlus' abilities in Europe, with an announcement of a Bundle with Grand Slam Tennis. According to the NewLevelGaming Blog, there will be a July 2nd release of the Wii Remote Add-on, and it will arrive with EA's MotionPlus-adapted Tennis offering, at a price point of 60 Euros, or roughly £40. Although the game will also retail separately for 10 Euros less, many positive Previews of Grand Slam's playability with Motion+ should entice gamers to pick up the bundle. There is no word on whether Wii Sports Resort will release earlier, or even later with or without the Add-on, but at least a solid date has been set for Nintendo's Wiimote-Enhancer. That's a very nicely priced bundle! Will be getting that for sure!
D_prOdigy Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Looks like EA and Nintendo are nicely in bed together then. It's pretty obvious that Nintendo were going to miss their originally promised date of Spring with Wii Sports Resort, so asked EA to premiere the peripheral instead. It'll get the accessory out there so to not piss off other developers who used it, and it will no doubt bump up sales for Grand Slam Tennis. The right move, I say.
david.dakota Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 I sense WiiSports Resort will premier the week before.
Ike Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 I sense WiiSports Resort will premier the week before. Or the same day.
D_prOdigy Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 No, as I say, I think Wii Sports Resort may launch quite a bit after. Development problems or whatnot; it was already expected to launch in the first half, and that's seeming to be very unlikely.
ShadowV7 Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Maybe Cammy is having a hissy fit since the frisbee game is getting removed.
Ren of Heavens Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 at a price point of 60 Euros, or roughly £40. 60 Euros is £57 now due to the weak pound. Pleasantly surprised they're going for a July date and not delaying it until september.
ShadowV7 Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Why would they wait till September to release it? In the UK it might retail for roughly £40 I guess. But I doubt i'll be picking this up anyway.
Ren of Heavens Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Well, Nintendo usually don't release much, if anything at all, in the middle of Summer.
ShadowV7 Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Nintendo haven't released anything worthwhile for quite some time anyway so I don't think Summer is an issue.
Grazza Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Let's hope Wii Sports Resort doesn't end up as the big Christmas game this year. Stranger things have happened.
ShadowV7 Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 I really can't see it being that late too be honest. Although know doubt the casuals would buy it over the likes of Sin and Punishment... The bastards
Tellyn Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 I don't think Nintendo would release a game primarily consisting of Summer sports in the winter.
ShadowV7 Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Plus it would have to compete with Mario and Sonic.
lostmario Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 It'll be released in September alongside a new Wii Bundle including it and M+. I predict the big Nintendo games released in late November / Early December will be Pikmin 3 and Pilotwings Zelda WiiM+ will be shown at the end of E3 for a Christmas 2010 release which will end up being delayed to Summer 2011.
david.dakota Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 I think Wii Sports Resort may launch quite a bit after. Development problems or whatnot There were some rumours about developments issues- but weren't they problems with the recalibration of the device, rather than games themselves? Either way, I honestly can't see Nintendo issuing new tech without its own showcase software.
mcj metroid Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 No it's not. There's a way of providing constructive criticism... and then there's this guy. I kind of lose respect for them immediately when they start swearing unnecessarily. he's not right and he sounds like an ass.. but a lot of developers ever since the n64 era have believed that only nintendo games sell on nintendo systems. It didn't really change this gen.

It didn't really change this gen. I think it has changed. Publishers like EA, THQ, SEGA and Activision have had some great successes with core titles for Wii- hopefully, they're starting to think its quality that sells and not just Nintendo.
Jimbob Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 Tesco's in Chepstow have now stopped selling any other games other than Wii and DS games. That was the only place to get 360 games in a shop without going to Newport. Wonder if all Tesco's that arn't Extra's are following suit?
