First off I would like to say that the new N4G interface is awesome! The only problem is that I cannot delete my old blog posts, I regret my old blog posts........very badly.
Problem: Developers will change the Wii version for a unique Wii experience.
Solution: F*** that! We want the same experience as the PS3/360 versions. Or at least a very similar version.
Problem: Developers cut out modes and levels. For example CoD: WaW cuts out the rail level, Nazi Zombies and the Raygun.
Solution: Explain why you do that. Why cut that out??
Problem: This isn't really a problem, but the Wii versions of some games don't necessarily have the best controls.
Solution: Classic Controller Pro. Iwata has said that one of the purposes for the controller was well, third-party multiplatform games.
Problem: Voice Chat
Solution: WiiSpeak. It worked very well for Conduit. (soluting Shazzyone for allowing me to test that out).
Problem: Downloadable content.
Solution: I'm not 100% sure how this works, but we got a SD Card update about a year ago. Developers need to start doing DLC with the SD Card. However, I did hear that Nintendo doesn't allow add-ons to games, which if that's the case, this points out that Nintendo is ruining their online experience.
Problem: Late ports
Solution: Modern Warfare Reflex was released about 2 years later for the Wii. I can understand why Activision would be skeptical with releasing Call of Duty 4 for Wii in 2007, Call of Duty 3 sold about 1 million as a launch title. But now that has been disproven, Call of Duty and Resident Evil games for some reason sell very well on Wii. So why release a port two years late??
Problem: Crappy co-op. Notably WaW, where there are two cursors on the screen at once. That's co op.
Solution: Why??? Split-screen can be done on Wii, so why make it a rail-shooter for the second player. It's not at all realistic nor innovative.
Problem: Wii Zapper is a hideous abomination for FPS games on Wii.
Solution: Since the Wii Zapper is only decent for light-gun games, well, never implement it again. Replace the Wii Zapper with Classic Controller or GameCube controller support.
This is all I can list right now. Let's hope Black Ops on Wii corrects these problems.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
If only it were so easy.
