Re: The Wii is Here.

I know someone mentioned this game to me before, but it's coming out really soon now so might as well mention it again.

Kororinpa: Marble Mania. Launch title in Japan. Comes out on the 23rd in Australia and the 1st of March in England (WHY ARE THEY GETTING IT FIRST ><). Comes out here sometime in March.

From IGN:

First off, players will need to take heed that Kororinpa is not some basic Monkey Ball rip-off, and thus you'll be in for a different experience (both a good and bad thing) if you decide to import. Sure both games deal with rolling, bouncing, item-grabbing, and random tomfoolery, but the two fall at opposite ends of the spectrum. Monkey Ball has always sat on the boarder of arcade maze navigation and casual party game, having a main mode that starts with basic tilt navigation and progresses into some of the most insane challenges out there. At the same time, players can also have up to three friends join in on the action and enjoy party games, vs. competitions, or hot-seat arcade bouts. In Kororinpa, you're getting a single player game with a basic two player mode added on. Players will create a file, select a marble to use, and start ripping through maze after maze, collecting a number of required gems to open up the level's exit.

...

When dealing with the specifics of the in-game levels, Kororinpa is also a bit of a different beast than its SEGA competition. Kororinpa allows players to have full control over the playfield, so rather than simply tilting the level to speed up the ball's roll or change direction, you'll find yourself actually flipping the controller upside-down, twisting it end over end, or rolling it slowly from side to side in your hands. If you want to flip the ground out from under your ball and send it dropping into the nothingness below, you've got that option. Since so much of the game deals with manipulating the world around the ball (rather than rolling the ball over a singe plane), the over-the-head view Kororinpa utilizes seems to be the only way to go about making the game work. You lose a bit of the personal feel, as you sit much farther away from the action, but you have a better overall grasp of the world around you.

Looks like a solid game for $20-$30.

There, beat Zelda. If you add the fight at the end, I 100%d it in exactly 50 hours. Good times.

cC@Zz, I'm one of those people who refuses to use guides for RPGs. I feel it's completely unnecassary and defeats the purpose of any type of challenge a game might present. I can stand that hour. I'm a patient man you know. =]

Well basic stuff like fishing I wouldn't look at a guide for unless for some reason it was really difficult to figure out. Still I don't know how it took so long to figure out how to fish.

Re: The Wii is Here.

I thought it acted as if you were really fishing.

Go outside and fish.

Yeah, and Wii sports acts as though you're really doing the sport.

It's really not the same though. It can never be exactly the same.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Did you once try looking at a guide. Whenever have trouble with a game I just use an online guide. I don't think I could stand trying to learn how to fish for an hour.

What the hell kind of worthless game requires you to read a guide to know how to control basic aspects of gameplay?

By the way, I had a bit of trouble with that first bit of fishing, but it wasn't that terrible.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Fly-fishing has a reel too. It's just a cast and re-cast and re-cast and re-cast type of fishing. The same length of line is kept out through most of the procedure.

Fly-fishing is much more active than lure-fishing or bait-fishing. Lures are meant to look like fish or insects, and fish and insects move, so those are cast out and reeled in. Bait is intended to entice based on taste alone, so that just sits there. Flies are similar to lure fishing, but you don't reel it in, you just put the "fly" on top of the water in different places every few seconds. You only reel when there's a fish on. Another huge difference is that there's the reel line and the carry line. If you notice in TP, Link holds onto the lure while running with the rod. That's normal. Fly-fishing rods never bring the lure to the tip of the rod. It just hangs out like that. The reel line is your normal fishing line, but the carry line is thick and usually colorful.

The lake fishing in Twilight Princess is lure fishing. There are several lures that all do different things to entice fish to take them. But they all have to move.

Re: The Wii is Here.

I've never tried nor knew how fly-fishing works. I always thought that all fishing worked the same way, once you caught a fish, you had to reel it in some how.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Squeek, you are amazing for learning the tricks of the trade in ten seconds.

No, not really.

The fishing pole didn't even have a reel. What were you trying to accomplish?

It's a fly-fishing pole without a reel and with a bobber. Meaning you just put it in the water and once something pulls the bobber, you pull back your arm.

It literally takes no effort at all. The fishing pond does. And it's really fun. Comes with reel and all.

Re: The Wii is Here.

That's not fishing.

Go to Zora's Domain and REALLY fish.

ps fishing took me 10 seconds to learn.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Fishing for fish in Twilight Princess was not fun. When I first started to play, I spent almost an entire hour trying to figure out how it worked. At first, I thought it was something random because it'd say "FISH ON" occasionally. Even after it said that, I was unsure of what to do with the Wii Remote and Nunchuck. I tried reeling in the fish with the nunchuck, didn't work. After a while, I started to notice that whenever I pulled up on the fishing poll while the bobber was all the way down, I would get the "FISH ON" message. After that, it was smooth sailing from there.
