James McGeachie Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 This game is a problem. It's supposed to be their Wii Sports equivalent system seller for casuals from the looks of it. Yet I don't have a clue how to play any of the games. "You don't look at the screen" ok cool. But what do we do then?
Phube Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 I'm imagining competitive Bop-It style. I.e. The controller will shout "shoot" first to shoot wins. "Fish" throw out a line. "Martini" shake 2 ice cubes in your JoyCon! Etc.

dazzybee Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 £40 for this.... Nintendo have blew all the hype and excitement people had. They are mental!
drahkon Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 £40 for this.... Nintendo have blew all the hype and excitement people had. They are mental! Don't forget you need another Joy-Con pair (£74.99) if you want to play it with someone who doesn't own a Switch...
Mr_Master_X2 Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 It clearly uses the motion+ 3D movement sensing/HD rumble features, camera features etc. It looks like there's plenty of mini games (there seems a huge amount just shown, probably many more, each with slight variations on control and reflex challenges), but essentially it looks like some sort of duelling game (rock/paper/scissors is mentioned as being able to be sensed by the controller, too). Dispute/argument settler? It's meant as a simple party game and for just people wanting a quick laugh. I see it becoming a popular drinking game. While not a "gamer's game" I can see this becoming some humongous fad. You wait and see. Wouldn't surprise me if there's Wario Ware style single player, too.

dazzybee Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Yeah, obviously let's wait until we've seen more of it, but it was a bad demo, bad trailer, completely unclear and doesn't sell the game at all!
liger05 Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 What the hell is this. Still on this wii madness.
Glen-i Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) What the hell is this. The work of a madman, and I love it! EDIT: I get the impression the whole HD rumble thing adds to the game. Apparently, it's really impressive. Edited January 13, 2017 by Glen-i
Hero-of-Time Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 What the hell is this. Still on this wii madness. Utter tripe. It's no wonder Nintendo are taking a pasting by gamers today.
killthenet Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 I think it looks fun but it's far too expensive. Should be packed in with the console and extra controllers or £20 at most on its own.
Glen-i Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Utter tripe. It's no wonder Nintendo are taking a pasting by gamers today. I imagine this could be great silly fun if you get friends over. I can't justify full price though, this really should have been the Wii Sports/NintendoLand of the Switch.
Ashley Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Yeah it was fun and I did get to stare at @Kaepora_Gaebora intensely while milking a cow which I've always wanted to do, but trying to sell it for £40 is going to be difficult.

It says 6 mini games, but that sounds so pitiful considering what they are. Could there be lots and lots more potentially? Don't know if you saw menus or anything.
Ashley Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 No menus. A lot may depend on if they expand it. Sadly didn't get time to try them all, but none were Wii Tennis-like of the three we played.
Aneres11 Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 These actually look pretty fun to be fair! They seem very Wario Ware to me which I am completely down with. But is it really just 6 mini games? We've seen 3 already haven't we?! Just when you think it's something good, it turns out shit. Pretty much sums up this whole saga for me so far!
Ashley Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Off the top of my head the ones at the show were: Milking Dance copy Safe unlock Count balls Samurai Quick draw That would make six, but there's that gif of sandwich eating. What's that from? Not been watching tree house.

bob Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Looks hilarious, but who is going to pay £40 for it? Should be bundled with it.
Ashley Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Finally looking at the software side of the press kit and it lists the following: Ball Count Copy Dance Eating Contest Milk Quick Draw Safe Crack Samurai Training Table Tennis So its 8 rather than 6 as someone said earlier, unless they do release more.
Kaepora_Gaebora Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 The guy on our samurai stand was saying it could be a great drinking game; I'd love Nintendo to officially market this whole game as a "pre night out drinking game to get wasted" experience. And have me and @Ashley milking each other sorry cows on the box...
