I'd be more than thrilled to hear the new announcement be Animal Crossing. Seeing all the trophies of the Animal Crossing resident in SSBB only served to increase my desire for them to get the game out ASAP.

BTW, I picked up Pinball Hall of Fame: Williams Collection today at Best Buy. Hardly any stores seem to carry it, but it is fantastic on the Wii. 10 great pinball machines that look and play exactly the way I remember them and bumping the machine using the nunchuk and wiimote is pretty nice. They also added a nice achievement system for each table to give you plenty of replay value. $30 is a bit overpriced, but the game is worth it if you love pinball. The PS2 version is only $15 if you can find it, but it also is missing 2 of the machines in the Wii version. Too bad most stores including GameStop aren't carrying it. It is one of the few good third party budget titles on Wii. |
I found the PS2 version at Best Buy for $5 a while back.

Nick Suttner on 1UP Yours said he preferred the PS2 Okami controls to the new Wii version. Maybe don't throw away your PS2 copy just yet.

I have a bad feeling Animal Crossing will be pay to play anyway and there is no way I pay a monthly fee to play it.
I was never into the retro titles so leaving them out wouldn't bother me that much. I don't want AC to be a huge online world. If it was a beefed up version of the DS online portion I would be OK. I just want a larger town and the ability to interact with other fans of the game. If they did go all out with the online portion I would probably pay for it if my wife was into it and wanted to share a character/town with me. There are not many games she gets excited over so it would all depend on if she wanted to help me play AC. |
I guess my problem with AC is I'm really in it for awhile trying to complete my set for my house, but once that is done it is pretty much game over for me. I just don't feel like bug hunting and fishing enough to keep playing it. Don't know though, maybe they will come up with something big for the Wii and draw me back in. They may be able to use the online abilities to keep it fresh with new content for years.
|
I personally can't wait for AC. I really doubt it if it will be a pay for play system. Nintendo doesn't want to do that and hasn't stated any intention about doing that. I do hope though that it kind of goes back to the way it was on the GC. Mainly having actual holidays in there and not the bug hunting tourney, ladida day and all that other crap. Give me Jingle and that turkey and Jack back!
I still play both versions after all these years. Mainly the DS one though as that one is portable and easier to access. |

Yeah I heard about that but I don't really think it will apply to First Party Games. I think it's more for so they can bring a WOW type game to the console. Or maybe even for downloadable content like our "promised" guitar hero songs. |

Yeah, I got mine at Christmas and was disappointed to not find Jingle wandering about. It did have quite a bit of improvements from the GC one but the lack of holidays and the lack of that extra island with the GBA connectivity hurt it. I don't know if they will bring back holidays though. Did the Japanese GC version have American/Christian holidays like we did? They seem to be going to one release for all non-Japanese areas judging by their multilanguage cases and instructions. Which I find annoying BTW. |
The Japanese GC version had its own set of holidays. They tried to do universal holidays for the DS version and it sucked big time. However, with the online elements and the fact you can connect with people online around the world they will probably do the boring universal fake holidays again.
|
If they found a way to do away with friends codes I would be willing to pay to online with the Wii but if they try and charge me while dealing with that annoying excuse of an online system they can shove that idea where the sun don't shine.

I could see Mario Tennis being the big title Nintendo is announcing at E3 personally.

That's the way I took the conversation anyway. |
I guess I hear what you're saying, but firstly it works vice versa. As in if you haven't played the Wii version you could just as easily play the PS2 version which I presume has probably come down in price a bit with the new release. And secondly, I did think he was pretty clear on the point that the PS2 controls worked better (for him) than the Wii controls. So if the point of buying the Wii version is the previously assumed vastly superior controls then it seems to render that point a bit moot. Particularly for those who are upgrading from the PS2 version.
Anyway, this is one guys opinion, so obviously you'd want to see what other people have to say. |
I'm very shocked that 1UP complained about Wii controls. This is earth shattering news.

Anyway, a fair few dvdtalkers follow the 1UP stuff so I posted it for their interest. In the end it's only one guy discussing a game in the context of a preview so add however much salt you like. |
I don't mind 1up as a whole, I usually just take issue with Shane "graphic whore" Bettenhausen. He knows his shit, but makes no qualms about being a graphic whore.
