Great info on SSB. Love Pit coming in. Never played any Metal Gear games other than the first, but Solid Snake? Are we talking original Metal Gear Solid Snake or the MGS incarnation? |
Solid Snake is the same character, no matter if you play Metal Gear or Metal Gear Solid. But it looks like he's going to most resemble the Metal Gear Solid 2 iteration of the character, from the screenshot I saw.

Yeah, I ended up seeing that pic from the E3 subforum thread. This is getting confusing.
I just didn't know if Nintendo could get the rights for a non-8bit SS. Not like they haven't done that style with Game & Watch. As I said, I don't keep up with the MGS games to even know what systems they've been on. Still hoping for Sonic! |
All I know is... new Zelda.... new Metroid = my cash

It's a third party series. Keep in mind that there was a MGS remake on the gamecube and that MGS2 got ported to the X-box. It's not a Sony series, they just have an exclusivity arrangement on the main games. |
What Josh said. :) Although I did make a mention of that in the subforum thread.

Won't the Wii be backwards compatable with the 'Cube still? And what about DVD playback?
|
God damn it Nintendo stop. You had me at hello.
All this new stuff looks great. My center channel is pretty big so I had to build a shelf on the wall for it. The sensor bar will sit perfectly on top of my HDTV. Solid Snake in Smash Bros seems really cool. |
Huh?

I think its a bit harsh to say the Wii has "N64 graphics" as someone said in the E3 thread. They look more like souped up Cube graphics in most cases to me. It doesnt seem a huge leap forward that way. Pity.

The Wii's graphics are superior to the PSP and the DS, yet I don't hear people complaining about the graphics on those.

It's always either too blurry or to pixelated, depending on which system it's on. |
Sonic returns to his roots on the Wii:

All it takes is a few seconds of play time and the changes to Sonic's core gameplay can easily be seen. For starters, the control has been completely stripped, replacing the original analog execution with tilt control. Players control Sonic by simply tilting the Wii-mote (held in the classic NES position) left or right. Rather than positioning the game as yet another free-roaming adventure, each level instead acts as a rollercoaster of sorts, sending Sonic on a pre-determined path, while giving the player full control over movement and speed. Since the path is already set, players use the tilt function to navigate the track, grabbing items and fighting enemies at their own pace. It may sound basic, but that's what brings the series back to its original form, as it controls like the 2D version did, while still providing a 3D feel.
Aside form the main tilt control, SEGA kept it relatively simple. The 2 button is used for jumping, and can act in two different modes depending on the player. If the button is tapped, for instance, Sonic will perform a running leap, hitting the ground at the same speed when finished. If the 2 button his held, however, Sonic will skid to a stop and begin to charge a "super jump," which can be used to reach higher areas at the sacrifice of speed. When in mid-air, Sonic will automatically lock on to the nearest target he is facing, and with a simple flick of the controller will bolt towards them in a mid-air dash attack. |

Honestly, for 90% of games, current-gen or slightly above current-gen graphics are as good as it needs to get*, in the same way SNES and Neo-Geo graphics were as good as they needed to get for 2D.

I'm looking for unique and FUN gameplay, something most of the games I've recently played have been lacking. |

Mario, Zelda, SSB and Metroid which is a freakin FPS in its new life. I could have sworn ive played all these games before.. Oh yes, on my cube.

Trauma Center: Second Opinion Tidbits from Joystiq:
The game should be released within the Wii's "launch window" (i.e. before the end of the year). Two playable characters will be available, each one following a different path in the story. Unlike Derek (the original game's main character), the new doctor will not possess the "Healing Touch", instead boasting some other, sure to be wacky power. The game was almost called Trauma Center: Relapse. Thanks to the wiimote, Second Opinion will be much more intricate than the DS version and allow you to use more surgical tools. The nunchuck analog stick is used for selecting tools. The game will not be fully voice-acted. Only a couple of voice samples will be matched to on-screen text, much like the Legend of Zelda titles. Tomm hinted that you'd be able to use the wiimote and nunchuck as a defibrilator. |

Plus, as stated above, the way (most) games look on current systems allows them to age well. I've seen Xbox 360 in HD, and yes, while it's nice, when I went back home to my PS2 there was no "culture shock" at the difference; in fact, I'll up the ante and say I was refreshed to see imagination and artistry in what I had on the PS2 compared to the bland (yet high resolution) stuff I saw on the 360. I'll take the other-world designs of Kingdom Hearts II in SD over boring WWII soldiers in HD any day, thank you.
Why don't you compare RPG to RPG? Oblivion to KHII? |
