Wow. This game looks incredible. This is very promising for PS3 fans who are in dire need of some great new games.
I agree with you. This game is going to be very immersive and epic. I'm guessing many people will get irritated and frustrated with the "size" and challenges of Super Mario Galaxy but I think the fans and those who have a rekindled interest in Nintendo will find this game to be outstanding.
It would be nice to use this for a racing game. Maybe they could implenment it where one side of the balance board is the acceleration and the other a clutch or brake.
Another idea would be to use it as a bass drum pedal in a drum kit for something like Wii Music or even the upcoming Rock Band.
Other ideas I can think of are bicycle pedals (remake of Paperboy), skiing, snowboarding, surfing, skating (ice, roller, inline, or board), etc.
I'm guessin...
good work. Have a bubble.
Giving kids the opportunity at a young age to get some hands-on experience developing for current consoles is oustanding.
The PS2 fitness game you have linked above does not include the control scheme presented at the conference and thus WiiFit is innovative in that regard.
Bringing a fitness game into market is not innovative, I agree. But bringing a fitness game, I said above, "...such as the one presented...", is innovative.
I was merely stating a hypothetical situation based on the current market strategy of Nintendo. Expanding their customer base laterally means expanding the control scheme to minimize confusion, including new genres of games into their game lists, and marketing to an audience that includes family and group interaction. This does not mean that Nintendo is "diluting the games in the name of profit", as you say. On the contrary, Nintendo is doing the opposite by strengthening their fanb...
What does it look like? Where can I find a pic or vid of it? Anybody?
I think this game will definately deliver, not only to the serious Metroid fan but also to the open-minded classic FPS gamer.
...and if the control scheme is anything like they say it is (innovative and revolutionary) then this game is going to have some outstanding sales and may even slightly increase the ever growing demand for the Wii console.
D'oh! I missed that...
Innovative means something that is not the same as what was previously known or done. So thus, yes, it is innovative.
Personally, I have never seen an exercise game such as the one presented at this conference. So I would agree, this is innovative.
Personally, I think WiiFit is going to do pretty well. One needs to remember that the Nintendo demographic includes a great variety of gamers AND converted non-gamers.
"Hardcore" gamers and the standard gamer will no doubt not look at WiiFit as something "cool" and most will probably say it's a "dud" like you have but the new and wider demographic that Nintendo has gained is the audience that this game is marketed to.
I'd probably be...
Nintendo is definately serious about opening up the current gaming audience to new experiences and expanding the gaming community to include otherwise non-gamers. Good job Nintendo.
It seems to me that they are first increasing their fanbase laterally and then when they have reached a critical limit I believe they will start increasing it vertically. In doing so Nintendo will have the most stable and supportive fanbase of any system, at least until the other companies start the...
I think this is probably one of the best things about the new kart...
Well said candystop, have a bubble...
Yea, that has me confused as well...maybe DS but I thought he was talking about the Wii.
If it is coming to the Wii then I'm speechless and excited!
My post holds its own. My arguments made above merely suggest that the above comments are not well thought out and immature, to say the least. But that's my opinion and personally I feel that most of the comments made here are inadequate and adolescent and to say that I'm as "...boring as nintendo..." makes your comment one of them.
Again, my above comment holds and your attacks have no merit against them other than being only your personal opinion.
Interesting to note that most of the above comments are looking for specific and outstanding announcements from Nintendo, else the above users complain about boredom. Very mature, very mature indeed.
Anyway, apart from the adolescent complaining above, it was nice to hear that more online functionality is on its way to the Wii, especially with Mario Kart and Guitar Hero III, as well as 32 player multiplayer announced for Medal of Honor.
I also found it nice to he...
It reminds me of a bunch of toddlers dressed up in costumes as Spider-Man story characters running around and having fun.
This is probably not a game for the serious gamer but it's surely an entertaining addition for the casual and kid gamers. One could loosely draw parallels in the comic relief and adolescent visuals with the LEGO series of games. This is a game to have fun with, especially if there is a multiplayer co-op mode.
Although I disagree with your opinion on Nintendo, your reply to hazeblaze was insightful, interesting, and not as ignorant and immature as most of the posts on N4G.
I highly agree with your statement about "bringing something to the conversation in a mature way" and bubbles should be given to those who do.
In my opinion, I think the PS3 is going to get some vivid and entertaining material within the next year. The games may not be high in quantity but ...
