There's a new interview with High Voltage. It's very long and has a lot of info inside.
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
It's important in life to maintain a broad palette when it comes to culture and the arts. Hideo Kojima agrees, as he continues to use video games like Death Stranding to introduce people to music and other elements they might not otherwise discover.
Mojang has partnered with Merlin Entertainments to build the world's first Minecraft theme park in the UK.

And the actual interview starts just before half way through. :D
Listening to it in the background now.
its 8:13 pm here in the great white north (canada)
I just hope that they get the right publisher/deal. I don't want Ubi or EA as Ubi will not car and EA will just be after endless ever reducing in quality sequels. I'm hoping for Nintendo or Sega, and I can see both doing a great job for what is an ambitious Wii project and I hope this is finally the pure FPS I wanted when I got the wii after feeling the FPS games would kick on it. 'bout time we had a good one-I'm looking at you Ubi and the dire Red steel.
The ideas are great and the trailers get better with each new one. It's still only at pre alpha and looks pretty good. Get rid of the cack death ani's, put the textures right, tone down the colour saturation and we're onto something great-hope theynail the online multi as well. if they don't and Treyarch fail with WaW we'll forever be stuck with the meat and spuds effort of MoHH2 which is way basic in my book-though the lag is minimal.
also I hope they don't implement motion plaus and the B bosrd at the last minute and wreck the game. Wii speak, on the other hand seems taylor made for this and I think will add so much to online multiplayer that it must happen.Lwets all get bwehind this-I'm also sick of 360 fanboys hating on it.
