ZOMG!!! "Did he say, Wii!?!!"
Yes I did. My son received this game the other day and for all intents and purposes this is an on rails shooter with good hit detection and aiming.
That said, there is one feature that really took me aback in such a "casual core" game. Weapon customization. During play we were able to unlock weapons and earn canisters (in game currency.) While upgrading our weapons we were able to improve fire rate, reload rate, and damage amount. Pretty standard stuff. Then we saw that we could "buy" new color schemes. Each gun has base color, secondary color AND colors for other attributes (like tracer fire.) Yes, I have green tracer fire.
Further, when we bought add-ons for our guns, the add-ons appeared on the gun in very prominent ways. Laser sighting (yup yup), sniper scopes, extra barrels and aiming reticules were all upgradable.
In short, I think that the vast amount of weapon customization available for the Nerf guns were on par if not better than the Modern Warfare games. I would love to see some imitation. It was great to have different types of ammo, sights, and barrels to choose from.
Further, for the guns available, each one can have two colors customized by the "owner."
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.
