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?

Just had a game breaking glitch on the first boss of HotD: Overkill, it frooze big time and I had to turn the Wii off at the wall. :(

 

Anyone else get this at all in the game?

Nope, not that I remember. :hmm:

Only games that have ever froze up on me were Eledees and Blast Works (both due to pushing the level editors too much :heh:) oh- and the BBC iPlayer.

 

I wouldn't worry though, well unless it happens at the exactly same point again.

Its not really just the Graphics I'm talking about, but things like production values ect. Nintendo are the only ones who tend to put the sort of production values into Wii games that are commonplace from any significant game on other consoles.

Iwata to "show" Wii Zelda at E3 News

 

Nintendo's Satoru Iwata has promised to finally reveal the new Zelda game this summer.

 

Iwata, straight to the point, told investors during Friday's financial briefing that, "We will show the new Zelda title for Wii at E3 this year." He added that the Wii Vitality Sensor and games for it will also be announced at the show.

 

He also revealed a few new titles heading to Japan this year on Wii and DS.

 

Top of the bill is a new DS Pokemon game - the first in four years. Iwata gave this no name but said there will be "various unprecedented experiences" within.

 

There's also a new "full-scale RPG" on the way to Wii called Xenoblade. This will be developed by Monolith Software and Tetsuya Takahashi. You may have known this project as Monado: Beginning of the World. Metroid: Other M will be released this summer on Wii in Japan, and Mistwalker's Last Story and Super Mario Galaxy 2 will appear later in the year.

I think its weird how we've seen no Zelda even though its apparently out this year when we saw Twilight Princess like... 4 years or so before it was released.

^ And all the better we were for it. ;) *damn you Nintendo, you teased us all with a motherfucking Hyrule War, damn YOU!!*

 

I think I'm going to have to watch the E3 Trailer (hopefully they dont do a full on gameplay presentation like with Twilight Princess) and then that's it for me as far as info goes... otherwise frankly no Zelda ever stands a chance.

 

It worked for Ocarina (I saw nothing but a couple of magazine reviews)... lets see if it can work again.

Haha, really? I scoured mags for Zelda info for years! The NMS pull out review of it was EPIC! I still remember how it started out with the "Zelda 64" look before gradually becoming the OoT we all know and love. Somehow even by the time I got it for Christmas I didn't feel like I knew everything about OoT and I'd even played the Deku Tree for a friend who got stuck. :laughing:

Yeah it's wierd, because it was my first ever Zelda game I kinda knew this big game was building (I probably saw a few other mid development articles along the way), then I clearly remember the Giant 8 page NOM review... and then likewise with N64 magazine, and it got 98% in both or whatever... then when Christmas came around I knew I had to have it and the rest is history!

 

Man I just get so excited when I think about that game!

I hear you Retro Link. I'm all for resisting all sorts of info about the game after the trailer.

 

The trailer will give you that special, yet small, taste of what is to come.

The best thing is to be surprised by everything you'll see in this new zelda game and given the fact that this time 'round, the game will be quite the refreshing expierence, it'll be double the shock once you learn that the gorons are actually zoras and vica versa (for example:laughing:)

 

It's hard to resist infromation about the new Zelda, but you wouldn't like to hear important parts of a book every week now would you?

 

'Tis a classic example of the SSBB-hype. That site was such a joy to read every day, but when I finally got my hands on the game, only the subspace emissary had its big shockers ready.

I knew nothing of that game until you brought it round to mine just after you got it, then I bought it a couple of weeks later!

 

I'm literally gonna watch nothing for this new Zelda. I've seen that promo artwork but that'll be it. Shouldn't be too hard either, haven't bothered watching any game trailer/video for ages!

 

I have to say I am liking this new approach that Nintendo seem to be taking of only releasing details fairly close to the actual release of the game, the Twilight Princess hype ruined it a bit...

Yeah it was so much easier back in the day, it was literally, Buy mag... see 98% Nintendo game... Gotta be great!... Buy it... In AWE!!... Done!

 

You'll probably watch the E3 presentation though won't you? Maybe just minimise the window for the Zelda stuff. I might do the same tbh... though I'm expecting a lot from this game already, in the sense that they've said they'll be doing something a bit different, so I might have to find out what that is (from E3), so I'm not dissapointed if it's not much of a revolution when I come to play it.

Nice one Welshy

 

My mate has been wanting to pick up Brawl for a while but is pretty hard up - yet at that price, I don't think he could resist.

I'll be avoiding anything with major spoilers, but I don't think I'll be able to stop myself from watching trailers and everything else. I've always found that part of why Zelda games are so exciting is the way everyone gets so hyped up for them. It can be a great experience information free as well, but personally, I need a bit of balance.

It worked for Spirit Track and from the reception, it's all been positive. I bet if Nintendo showed it off and then brought it out 2 years later, during that time showing lots of footage of the game, it would have not got the reception it has.

 

Seems like Nintendo learnt from Twilight Princess

Mark Bozon has left IGN.

 

While IGN faithful and Wii owners alike are still trying to recover from the pain of what felt like a knife in the back with the recent Nintendo Voice Chat Podcast 60 and Matt Casamassina's "Nintendo is Lazy" column, even harsher pains might be ahead if certain rumblings from behind the scenes are to be believed.

 

Rumor has it that talk is ongoing within IGN Entertainment to take a drastic new route with it's Wii and DS channels by adapting a "casual" approach to Nintendo news. A source who works close with IGN Entertainment told me "They (IGN) are reading the writing on the wall. Now that Nintendo has changed their approach to developing games, they feel there is not a large enough hardcore following to keep the Nintendo side unchanged. They see Yahoo's Wii specific gaming site now getting twice as many clicks as theirs, and they want those casual clicks". When asked what changes this casual approach to Nintendo news would actually bring, he shook his head and replied "Lets just say it is as bad as you can imagine".

 

Movements are already being put in place for this change, With the sudden departure of Matt Casamassina being the first of many. "I don't think you will be seeing Craig, Bozon, or the others around for much longer. I'm hearing a whole new cast is being brought in for the Wii and DS channels." another source told me.

 

No word yet on when this change will fully take place
