Any snowboarding game using that technology would be VERY unrepresentative of snowboarding. You don't turn a snowboard simply by leaning your weight.

However, that IS how you turn a skateboard. I wouldn't mind seeing a downhill skateboarding game making use of this... but I don't think it'd work very well for a Tony Hawk type game.

It wouldn't be realistic, but it would be fun. Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam was a big lol. I think the whole racing thing is much better suited to snowboarding.

Wii hit 10,000,000, according to VGCharts.

http://www.vgcharts.org/

I'd give it another week or two to pass the 360 in worldwide sales.

zidart · 08-8-2007, 09:06 AM

it acomplished so much in just a few months, i even think the wii can beat the ps2 sales

Just how Guitar Hero is just like real Guitar right? Although I know what you mean it's not like it wouldn't work.

I'm just waiting for it to surpass the 360 so I can write a kickass news story for Rithum =P

Guitar Hero is a simplified simulation of guitar playing. A simplified simulation of snowboarding would involve pivoting, not leaning. I don't think pivoting would work anyway, since it'd need to be a floating pivet to be effective, and the technology behind that would be too expensive to be reasonable for a gaming peripheral.

but still it would be fun, no matter if it's emulating a skateboard or a snowboard

One more week.

zidart · 08-16-2007, 12:11 PM

i guess the DS already have more sales than the XBOX 360 (or even the ps2)

well wii is in second place, not bad

**Squeek** · 08-16-2007, 01:50 PM

In terms of weekly sales, the DS is selling faster than any other console or handheld video gaming system ever made.

Not to mention dangerous. More moving parts = more pinching potential. =/

Early review of Prime 3. Slight spoilers, but they obviously refrain from divulging much past the first half-hour.

zidart · 08-21-2007, 08:11 PM

just one week, and we'll be playing this amazing game, it's gonna the second best on the wii, and i'm sure it's gonna be marked on the history of gaming.

super metroid, your days of being the best metroid game are counted

**Squeek** · 08-21-2007, 08:44 PM

Two things.

1) What's the best game (according to you)? Are we talking games that are out or games that are in development?

2) I highly doubt it can be as good as Super Metroid, but we'll see. See, Super Metroid had this thing about it. The game had about a minute of story, then the rest was COMPLETELY up to you. You could get any upgrade you wanted when you wanted it, assuming it wasn't unreachable without another upgrade.

zidart · 08-21-2007, 09:24 PM

oh super smash bros brawl i think is gonna be the best on the wii, but you know it's only my opinion.

and well about super metroid, well it is really good (i'm already playing it) and many say it's the best metroid game and i agree. but I feel that prime 3 is gonna be better. but is gonna be groundbreaking, not only with the controls but with many other gameplay features.

cC@Zz · 08-21-2007, 10:13 PM

I personally don't think Metroid Prime 3 could top Super Metroid. Super Metroid was just so fun in all aspects and as Squeek said you could get most upgrades at anytime which made things even more fun. Metroid Prime 3 still looks like a great game though.

**Squeek** · 08-22-2007, 10:28 PM
