Re: The Wii is Here.

If you read this article, you'd see the release dates for Nintendo's 2008 titles:

http://kotaku.com/349939/animal-crossing-for-wii-on-for-2008-says-nintendo

Mario Kart Wii is set for Spring '08. Of course, that's Japan, but with a game like Mario Kart, it shouldn't be too far apart.

Also, with regards to the snaking discussion from the previous page, some people are saying that it might just be a problem with a lack of information or a mistranslation. All they really say is that the mechanics of snaking exist. For all we know, the developers put in code that disables the use of powersliding left, then right. Also, if the game controls 'like excite truck' as the magazine in question purports, then pulling a powerslide with a wii remote won't exactly be something you'd want to do.

Nintendo denies that the magazine article is legitimate.

And here I thought they actually had an exclusive first-look at the game. Turns out they were just firing randomly into the night.

It's not that good and I don't recommend buying it if you're the kind of person who rents games.

It's fun, but it's also tedious and frustrating.

Edit: Huge news from Nintendo Power about Tales of Symphonia 2, which has been renamed.

Anyone get Nintendo Power? I'm interested to see what's in the article.

Snaking de-confirmed for Mario Kart Wii

I know earlier I said I'm glad snaking would be in it, but I rethought it, and I'm glad that it's not in there. Sure I won alot, but it really hurt my thumb. I would have to do it to win too because I always ended up facing somebody who did it too.

Hey Squeek, your new avatar creeps me out.

Also for everybody, are there any Wii games that are Wi-fi yet?

I'm a subscriber, but I don't have the latest issue right now. I won't have it until next week at the earliest so unless you hear more in the next week you'll have to sit tight until then. I'll scan pages next week if I get it.

I'm in love with TC:NB.

The voice-overs give the game a refreshing change. And the game feels more refined.

I like it just as much as Zack and Wiki at this point. <3's new games.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Amazon is going to have a sale on five Wii games this Friday.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.htm...cId=1000199691

Nobody knows what the games will be or what the sales will be.

Just a heads-up.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Oh, I have the NP issue with the ToS 2 article in it, Squeek. If you know this already, then my bad. But if you don't, than here we go.

-Everybody who survived from the original ToS is playable, (other than Kratos, but he is the narrator of the opening scene.) but not for the whole game. They come and go on occasion.
-You can recruit monsters, and then set up commands for them to follow out during battle. (You can't control them.) You have to "align the elements" or something of the sort in order to increase your chances of recruiting them.
-The two main characters are Emil and Marta. It doesn't say too much about them other than that.
-There has been climatic shifts in the story, so places are out of whack. For example, the desert place by the fire dungeon now has snow on it, and other places that were filled with rivers are bone dry.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Squeek, I can scan those pages for you if you're still interested. Just say the word.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Ah, no. It's cool.

I bet the Wikipedia page already had more information on the topic since before the magazine hit the store shelves.

Edit: Rofl. The first Amazon game was Super Paper Mario for $30. Then they did Fire Emblem for $30. Then Metroid Prime 3 for $30.

Average time on the site was less than one minute. I just watched Metroid Prime 3 get put up at 1:00. Ten seconds later, half of them were gone.

The next game is The Sims or SimLife or something. Probably. I have no idea what the last one will be. And some rumors are going around saying that they'll do another one at 9:00PST.

Re: The Wii is Here.

So, I'm starting to look into pre-ordering Brawl and I need some help finding a good site for it. If I pre-order on Amazon, I can get $30 back with the Amazon Visa card, meaning the game itself will cost $19.99.
