I dont have the Conduit yet but even if its not successful in the eyes of the hardcore gamers, it at least shows what can be done on the Wii in terms of graphics and gameplay.

That quote about not having online play in Super Mario Bros. Wii because the capabilities were maxed out seems lame now.

If Conduit can push the limits of Wii graphics AND have multiplayer online AND use the WiiSpeak then I dont get why SMB Wii could not.

Somebody actually said that out loud?

I'm much more interested in the single player camgaign, as I only have room in my life for one multiplayer shooter, and her name is Warhawk.

Knowing nothing else about the game, I think the marketing is TERRIBLE. The dude with the goofy sunglasses looks a bit too "EXTREME!!!" for my tastes, and if I weren't an educated consumer, I wouldn't give that box a second look.

This game is going to flop in a huge way despite its apparent quality.

Tales of Graces... looks nice.

I hooked up my Wii wirelessly. Didn't have to pay extra for a dongle.

Works perfectly.

I think the next Wii game on my radar is Muramasa, which isn't out until September.

Can't wait though - it looks fucking fantastic.


[you can (and should) watch this in full-screen HD]

Muramasa is from the Odin Sphere guys right? That one looks awesome.

slop101

Yeah, it's from the same developers and it's basically like Odin Sphere, only more action/platforming and less RPG-ish.

PerryD

I'm pretty sure the Wii will never be able to do HD.

steebo777

He meant watch the video in full screen HD, not the game on the Wii.

slop101

Yeah, I meant youtube's version of "HD", which still isn't as good as 480p, but conveys the beauty of the game better than a pixilated little window.

A-aron

My Wii is making whirring noises when disc-based games are being played. Of course it is out of warranty, so should I be expecting the wii-version of the RROD soon?

chess

Mine's done that for about a year, but only on games that require a ton of disk reading. I actually got rid of Tomb Raider Anniversary because it was so annoying.

But they system has chugged along just fine otherwise.

I wish I could get some of those "free" Wii points from Pepsi caps, but nobody in my family or any of my friends drink Pepsi, and I don't drink pop (soda) anymore. Arrrgh.

CreatureX

Monster Hunter 3 looks nice.

Re: Saturday, 7/4/09 Video Game Deal of the Day


Animal Crossing: City Folk (Wii)

$19.98 (60% off)

Michael Corvin

Anyone here interested in a $5 off Punch-Out on Amazon? Expires on 7/31. First to ask for it gets it.

eatntae

Nevermind, don't need it.

steebo777

Wow, that MH3 video was awesome! I can't wait for it!

edytwinky

Been trying to play Dr. Mario RX today and keep getting kicked offline when i try to play online.

RichC2

Picked up Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars yesterday for $29.99 @ GameStop. Just a heads up for anyone still interested in that title or interested in even somewhat supporting old school PnC adventures on the Wii

(It's a quality game despite being excessively punny.)

darkside

I bought it on DS and love it. I just wished they hadn't charged so much in the beginning because I think it turned off most of the potential buyers.

steebo777

I just got the Club Nintendo Elite status reward announcement. Interesting stuff...

pinata242

Got the Mario Hat.

The one-on-one Doc fight DLC is awesome too, but I think the novelty of that would wear off.

Michael Corvin

Same here. Already submitted for Punch-Out. None of the prizes are anything special but at least Punch-Out is a functional prize even though it's barely what could be classified as a demo.
