So it's a true WiiWare sequel to FFIV?

Yes. It's been out in Japan on cell phones for a little bit now.

I always wanted to play this one the PC but never got around to it. Click on the link for more screen shots. The graphics are a little cartoony! That 2 person co op play is pretty interesting.

IIRC, Cheapy D enjoyed that game on the DS year or so back. It always sounded interesting.

Punch-Out is gonna rock! Too bad the cover is so drab.

meh.
Except for the potential of cool motion-controls (and "3D" graphics), it seems no different from Super Punch Out.

Isn't that exactly what we all wanted out of it?

I noticed tonight at Wal-Mart that they had the 2000 point card that comes packaged with a skin for the Classic Controller on clearance for $15.00 (regular price $19.87). The 2000 point card by itself is still $19.87.

They also had the Classic Controller itself packed with a skin for $19.87, rolled back from $24.87, making the Controller packed with the skin the same price as the Classic Controller by itself.

The Tiger Woods Golf accessory for the Wii-Mote was on clearance for $15.00 (regular price $19.87).

I'm surprised no one brought up A Boy and his Blob.

wow interesting. It has an art style similar to Braid. I'm looking forward to it.

Without reading through the entire thread, have I missed much over the last four months or so?

same here and i realized why too... as soon as i learned everybody wants to borrow my copy of Twilight Princess, i understand what the whole fuss is about. Meh, Wii Music scared me away, even it was free.

FWIW, Mad World's getting really good reviews.

And anyone looking forward to the re-tooled Mario Tennis for the Wii should forget about it.

from IGN:
"What was once a great game has been pruned and morphed into lots of waggle, unreliable motion control, and a game with very little control over ball placement."

Other than that one weekend in college, I have never seen so many Wiis in one place as I did at Target yesterday afternoon.

We're finally seeing what we've known all along, the Wii is a bust! ;)

or demand has caught up with supply!

There's just less people buying less shit, period

The Wii's just a part of that.

As much as I have always wanted a new Punch-Out game, I am kind of scared of this one. It isn't being developed by Nintendo, but rather by some third-party developer that I have never even heard of before.

Same thing happened with Metroid Prime series and that turned out alright. Here's to hoping Nintendo was actually involved and I'll have a reason to play the Wii again myself.

Alright? JUST alright?

It's the second best game of all time (to me). :D2:

Ok, how about, it turned out DAMN Spectacular ;)!

And with Wii controls, I'd argue it is finally perfect (again ;)).

Re: Official Wii thread -Part IX
 
Well, at least it's a "new" title - you can bet your ass that if there was a Punch-Out on the GameCube, we'd be getting a re-release of that instead.

pinata242 03-13-09 02:36 PM

Re: Official Wii thread -Part IX
 
Agreed, totally. I wonder what the hold-up of the Mario Golf Wii-make is... Probably holidays as it makes more sense than Tennis.

Screw the elder statesman's WiiMakes, show a little love for little bro with a Luigi's Mansion WiiMake.
