Dude, if you wanna see your point demolished in a sentence just go look at ace attorney on wiiware. Why is it so pixelated? They used the sprites from the DS version and that was lower resolution resolution than the wii! It looks great in lower resolution and like total crap upscaled. It's a handdrawn 2d sprite game like muramasa and not some 3d rendered crap that isn't comparable.
If that happens to a game as detailed as ace attorney on *DS* to *wii*...
"The God of War collection that just came out. Do you REALLY think that game cost that much more to make than the original games? No. They practically re-used the same assets from GoW1 and GoW2, but ran them through an upgraded engine. The fractional cost increase was minimal. Resistance 1 was basically a PS2 game that ran on the PS3 (the game was using SD assets/textures)"
God of war is 3d rendered. Muramasa is handdrawn. You have to hand draw muramasa much more prec...
"Either way, pinning the blame on a sole title is idiotic and finding a scapegoat. I'd say that applies to pretty much any game(except maybe Shenmue)."
rofl, I just bought shenmue 2 today and it came with the movie ;)
You're exactly right. Few businesses have the guts to ask themselves if they made a bad game when they don't sell. It's a natural human instinct.
"And 720p is not that big of a tech leap to achieve"
Then why can't halo 3 or MW2 do it? Halo 3 is 640p with no AA (though 64 bit lighting) and MW2 is 600p.
"Anyone saying HD doesn't matter, probably doesn't own a HD tv. Or they are in fact casual gamers, so they don't care about that."
I have a 40 inch hdtv. I own all 3 systems. Most people who don't care were/are pc gamers who had 1080p natively rendered 3 years ago. We think of...
54 third party wii games have sold over a million copies.
Hey, how'd lair and wipeout hd turn out?
Do we use that as a marketing slogan?
I watch DVDs on my ps3 or dvd player. Or my ps2. Or my xbox 360.
*sigh*
Can you watch hulu on it?
Mario, Metroid, Zelda, No More Heroes 2 (your hiphopgamer gave this a perfect), Tastunoko vs Capcom, Monster Hunter 3 and Red Steel 2 actually compare pretty closely to sony exclusives.
If they localize Sin and Punishment 2 and Dynamic Slash it's pretty much over. Also, xeno spiritual successor.
Notice how about half my list includes games already released in japan with proven gameplay but you're going entirely on hype?
Based on the fact this site is so spammed I would not be surprised if a large number of these posts came from viral marketers. The fact it's spammed tells you that this site is on their radar.
Nintendo stopped shipping lots of their games recently. Excite truck, endless ocean, mario super strikers, fire emblem, wario ware smooth movies, and wario land shake it. If you want to pick up some rarer nintendo titles now is the time.
Most corporations that size have competence issues. They have to double check with higher ups to figure out what to say - etcetc. It may be something notably wilder but usually it's just the breakdown of communication in a large corporation....
"Content is king. Tech should be used as a vehicle to explore new content. I think this is why many games now feel stale to longtime gamers (such as myself) because we've been there done that. With the only change really being the visuals only. But how many games are better this gen than their previous gens counterparts? Maybe a few?"
This is exactly right. It is why the old neo geo, 3do, turbografix, and jaguar lost despite better tech and why the ps2 won despite bein...
"In my opinion the Wii needs HD so it does not hurt my eyes when playing on my HDtv but the console is doing so great that Nintendo does not even care anyway."
The comb filter in your hdtv is cheap and doesn't upconvert well, go buy a good hdtv and this problem is solved. Mine is 500 dollar rebranded proscan crap with a notably junky comb filter and it still looks good.
A truism of pixel based graphics is that distance smooths all jaggies.

Let's hope they advertise. This could fill a large market. The stupid part is using the classic controller. This with wm+ would satisfy all our desires to chop up monsters. Everyone who owns a wii wants that. I have no idea why no one has done it yet.
You better get MH3! If you like tactical combat and teamwork these games are crack.
"I only play my PS3 and 360, as the Wii's kiddie casual flavor only caters for a quick hit....."
Says the poster named "Adolph Fitler." Let your maturity inspire.
My hori fight stick came a day early and I was really excited but then TvC wasn't with it and I got sad and so I wanted to play tekken but I'm getting sick of that so I woke up my widdle bitty baby hedgehog cause I got bored and he snuffled at me. AMAZON IS TEARING THIS FAMILY APART.
I just started on a lot of the KoF, Samuari Showdown and Guilty Gear games so this might not apply to them, but I have never played a fighter without wildly and obviously overpowered characters. It would be nice to get a sense of how it turned out but I just expect the characters I end up liking to be mid-level as always.
Few have the heart of a warrior. Fewer have ninja hand dexterity.
They said it won't be released on xbox or ps3 already. Buy the fight stick for the guilty gear/KoF/Samuari Showdown games and this.
I personally hate both RE: Chronicles and okami though. I own them both and traded okami in. I keep RE: UC cause my gf likes it but I like old arcade rail shooters. RE: UC tries to make it a cinematic FPS rail shooter and imho that fails miserably. I never cared about the re "storyline" or "universe" beyond there being zombies and me getting to shoot them or perhaps getting a lion key.
It was just coincidence that two games I really dislike appeared. Both...
I wonder when video game designers will learn they can't write as well as novelists or movie makers and hire actual talent? The reason metroid prime and shadow of the colossus do so well is that they inspire your imagination to question what happened before you arrive and you naturally fill in the details with a story that makes sense to you. Which is far better than some programmer acting like he knows style, plot arc, etcetc.
When I read that he wanted to explore Samus' mater...
