Yea Afrobean moans. It's what he does. Although he does bring stuff to a debate he will always go on and on if you choose to keep debating with him.

Re: The Wii is Here.

While I think that it was a good game it could have been much better. I don't know if its that I'm just finding most games to be dry in nature lately, but this Mario just didn't seem right. I didn't like the wii control scheme and I just don't think it fit well with a Mario game. The minigames are not very fun and It also was a bit too easy. And as usual the storyline was god aweful, but thats not why people play Mario games.



Who gives a crap about game reviews? I could care less if its the highest rated game it still doesn't make it the best mario game or the best game ever for that matter. I'll stick with my own judgment and not some reviewers who are obssesed with all the classics like Mario and Zelda that they feel like every single game of theres is a masterpiece.

I'm to the point now where I find very few games original or entertaining enough for them deserving to be called a masterpiece.

have you tryed to play the secret missions (the hard ones??) and it's ok is your opinion

well i care about reviews because they say what is good or bad of a videogame and then i won't be wasting money in a game that i won't like....but this one has very few bad things so i guess reviews are useless now XD

Re: The Wii is Here.

I can understand why people can rate Ocarina of Time so high despite my dislike of it, but I don't understand how people can like this game so much. The level design isn't terrible and the missions are actually structured in a way that I actually like, but I would still rather play Super Mario 64 over this due to the superior control system. And no matter what you say, this game would be better off using the button punch system than this shake thing. I don't care if I'm the only one who doesn't like the shaking, it is still not as good of a battle mechanic as multiple different attacks assigned to an attack button.

well you are the only person i know who is complaining about this game or control scheme....but again is because you have a short temper (stay away from fire emblem radiant dawn)

anyway i'm very happy that this game is now the best ever. and i hope it wins as game of the year, this proves the real power of the wii

Re: The Wii is Here.

Yea I can't wait for UC. Not to sure whether I will be getting the Zapper though. Depends how much money I have at the time.

[Pyroshock]

Re: The Wii is Here.

You could do that if you really wanted to, but it would be really awkward, and also the point of having nunchuk and remote separate is the nunchuk controls Samus' left hand (grapple) and the remote controls Samus' right hand (beam).

Re: The Wii is Here.

In the case of Metroid Prime, can you just throw the "butt" of the zapper around like you would move just the nunchuk?

[SSCUJO]

Re: The Wii is Here.

well to respond to Afrobean with the information i know. a Game like metroid prime does require you to move the nunchuck by itself. however, this game is not "compatiable" with the wii zapper. games which are compatible you will now see a picture on the back of the box where it shows the controllers required. from what i understand compatiable simply means the controls are tailor made for the wii zappers configuration, metroid for example would not be one of those game.

as for the control scheme what i ment was to pick up weapons you need to use the "Z" butten and to change weapons you need to use the "C" both require your second hand to be on the back of the controller, which mind you is very comfortable, just doesn't allow you to play with one hand (so no dual weilding)

however Ghost squad only uses the wiimote, so dual wielding will be possible and by the looks of it, quite fun.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Why didn't the Zapper come with a Duck Hunt/Clay Pidgeon/Hogan's Alley/Wild Gunman game. I saw a video of the gameplay for the Link thing and it didn't seem like anything special, and yet something with all of these games would have been amazing for nostalgia, and if they do it right, it could even be a fun play for those who never touched the games back then.

In fact, I don't even own any FPS for Wii, but I would probably buy the Zapper peripheral if it came with a nostalgia trip game.

Don't some FPS take advantage of weird accelerometer controls though? I mean like you'd have to move the nunchuk in some way while not needing to move the remote at all? I mean, yeah I guess you could probably just move the whole unit put together, but like if you open doors or something with a flick of the nunchuk, it might be kind of awkward to make the same motion with the nunchuk fixed to the remote. I dunno... maybe I'm just overthinking it and it does feel natural even in instances such as that.

ps I just read the entirety of SSCUJO's post (had only read about half of it when I began typing the post), and I must say that it is pretty damn funny that a game which seems as though it would be better than most for the Zapper has weird controls that the Zapper hinders. Hopefully developers will take notice and use controls like that sparingly in FPS now.

pps hahaha wikipedia article: "Initial third-party titles announced to support the Zapper are Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, Ghost Squad and Medal of Honor: Heroes 2." How can a game SUPPORT something that isn't really hardware? It's more of a modification than actual new hardware. Unless they mean controls were made specifically to assume that the nunchuk and remote would be moving in tandem, but then what is this business about changing weapons?
