Do I just check nintendo.com or has someone made a VC list site?LasPlagasHope

most gaming sites post it when the weekly list comes out.   thewiire.com tends to be on the ball with that stuff.

just do a google search monday morning, or just check your wii

sega has a VC section on their website, and nintendo releases a press statement every monday morning (in north america of course) with the list of vc games for that week.

i hope they just drop the whole mutiplayer idea and focus strictly on the single player

this is metroid not halo

So basically after you beat the game it just sits on the shelf for the rest of the Wii's life eh? No. Bad move. Online is needed in this day and age. I'm sick of beating a game in a months time or less and then just staring at it for 4 years. ONLINE IS PRETTY MUCH ESSENTIAL AT THIS POINT. It's called REPLAY VALUE, and Metroid better have it.



online is not essential.   lets see, games that Ive been playing a lot recently.  
perfect dark 64: no online,
super metroid: no online
super mario bros 1-3: no online,
tetris: no online.
SSB/SSBM: no online.

now, are these games not good or have no replay value?  hardly.

online components would be a delightful addition.  I would use them and it would help extend the life of MP3, but to say its required is just a lie.

hundreds of games have survived up until this day without online..  why?  they are amazing games.

many games now adays are short, hardly ever fleshed out, and are really easy, and have nothing to add the the true replay value of the game.  being able to go back and enjoy it all over again.  but they have online, they focus on online, and that mode saves them.   But if the game isnt amazing to begin with theyll be easily surpassed by other truly stellar games.

so remember kids, online is fun, online adds replay value, but its not required..  even in this day and age

this means that sonic and mario are going to be in an olympic sports based game.

It was just announced and can be seen on MTVNEWS.com that a new game is coming out in which Mario and Sonic will both be making an appearance and no its not Super Smash Brothers or a Mario Party game. The new game features both Nintendos' mascot Mario and former major competitor Segas' Sonic in a Olympic based game starring those two franchise characters. It is the first time that these two companies have allowed the characters from their games to merge, this can only mean good things if the 2008 Olympic based game sells well. The game will be released for the Christmas 2007 season. If you want the real article visit www.mtvnews.com sorry for no link but my comp is really acating up right now.

Bleh, Olympics games. Traditionally, they're pretty terrible, aren't they? This doesn't sound fantastic.



yes, but its mario and sonic.  the novelty alone is worth at least a rent.

and besides, whos to say they couldnt pull of something sweet.    wii sports is great.   it would be nice to see how well the controls transfer to such a variety of sports

I don't know how old you are, but amongst college aged people Bob Ross is looked upon in kind of a hip retro way. I see kids wearing Bob Ross shirts every once and a while. Stoners everywhere would buy this game and old people liked him as well. I would, because as cheesy as he was, he was a good guy and I like the idea of painting on my Wii.

Bob Ross R.I.P.

I second that..  bob ross is awesome...   and stoners everywhere better be interested in this game..   I know I am..  kinda glad its back on actually..(assuming it really is)  I just thought they would put out a random painting game.

Damn.  I've been trying to buy this system for months now.  I can't find it anywhere and I refuse to pay some lowlife scum on ebay 40% more then what its worth to get it.  I will not support future people camping out and jacking up the supply to make a profit on ebay.  Dont support those scumbags!!!  I'm getting a little pissed off here.  If Nintendo doesn't get their crap together soon they are loosing me as a fan.  I wont buy another nintendo ever again.  This is unacceptable. 

SeraphWrath

please ..  take a sedative.  

a) there are units in stores, sometimes you need to be lucky, other times you need to camp out.... (im not saying youre one of these people, but most people are unwilling to put the effort into finding the wii which is in very high demand right now) so dont expect to walk into a store and see 49 sitting on shelves begging to be bought.

b)  nintendo...  prolly doesnt care if they lose you, for every one of you they lose, they get 4 more fans, and if low supply is going to make you boycott their products, then you could have wanted a wii that much to begin with.


so please.  take a sedative, maybe burn one down...    and get up early to camp out..  or just wait.

but threatening nintendo on a gamespot forum will do little to no good...  scratch that..   just no good.

Then what's the point of the damn thing? Honestly, all you hear about is how the Wiimote gives you greater control over your game and is more immersive, and then I found out that one of the Wii's flagship titles will not support it? The other day I was thinking about how hard and awkward it would be trying to short hop, wavedash, and cancel with a wiimote, so I read up on the game, and I was suprised to learn that I'll need to dig out my GC controller to even play the game.

 

So I ask you, Nintendo fans/supporters, how does this choice not condemn the wiimote? SSBB using an old controller just tells me that the wiimote is not suited to games that require pinpoint timing and accuracy, which is extremely dissapointing, because here I thought I was told the wiimote would be the best thing since sliced bread. SSBB using a "last-gen" controller just seems to me like all the wiimote is good for is slow paced leisure games and mini-game collections.

The DS does not NEED to use both of its screens in every game. The DS does not NEED to use Touch-screen functionality in every game. Mario Kart made excellent use of 2 screens, but left out the touch-screen feature, because it would have been impractical. MPH made pretty poor use of two screens, but it made excellent use of the touch screen. FF3 didn't make good use of the touch-screen or the dual-screen. It's about options, not necessity. The same is true for the Wii. The option is there for devs to do something new, but they aren't required to do so. It's much better that way for both devs and consumers. That's why Nintendo has a winner with the Wii.


unfortunetly very few people will actually listen to you
