What did you think? Was it fun? Was it heart-wrenching and upsetting?
We got a few, exciting additions to the Wii in terms of hardware. We have the best solution to a parent's concern over voice chat, being Wii Speak. We have an enhanced gaming experience in the Wii MotionPlus.
There are some new games to look forward to. Old IPs were revisited in Animal Crossing and Wii Sports. We have family-friendly fun with Wii Music, a game that takes music games to a whole new level.
Sure, where were the core gamers? They were in these two, summed up sentences after the jump:
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Is Ocarina of Time as legendary as I remembered it? For the most part, yes. In spite of a handful of missteps — a few obtuse puzzles, some tedious backtracking, and a clunky stealth sequence — I don't believe the last 23 years have been unkind to it. Ocarina remains a brilliant example of the medium, a landmark game that shaped the future of its own franchise and 3D gaming in general. After more than two decades it retains its inventive dungeon design, challenging puzzles, dynamic combat, wistful storyline, unforgettable music, and empowering open-air freedom. I feel confident calling it one of the greatest games of the fifth generation, even if I'm no longer prepared to list it among the five best games ever made."
Pure unadulterated fun. They don't make them like this anymore...especially not the triple A industry.
Back when video rental was a thing, I rented out Majoria's Mask, I never finished it though. I did buy the 3DS version before the eshop shutdown, so maybe one day I'll finally play through the whole thing, it's amazing how well these games hold up though. I briefly played Ocarina of Time for a while and it was really fun.
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
Nintendo has announced the SNES and Super Famicom games gracing the Nintendo Switch Online library this month, and there are some gems to enjoy.
Strange headline, as I thought the star of the show was Super RType. I almost bought RType Dimensions EX this last month and was just thinking, man I wish we had the SNES one somewhere on Switch. That's where I got my start w the series and I was beyond excited to see it drop this week!
But come on take some risks, I am sick of them playing it safe. I guess you could say GTA DS is a step in the right direction but I would like to see something hardcore come out of Nintendo not third parties.
G4 interviewed Reggie after the conference and said what about the core gamer? Reggie said, what do you mean we announced Animal Crossing and GTA for the DS. I'm surprised he was able to say that with a straight face.
Will 3rd parties jump on the motion plus? It means consumers have to buy the dongle first before they can play your game. Either they create games that can fall back to the dongleless controller or they won't create games specificially for the motion plus. It's hard enough for 3rd parties to sell Wii software, further segregating people won't help.
Nintendo never liked gamers however, they always loved the Sega Genesis's exhaust fumes!
am i the only one that noticed they gloated about the fact they have more shovel ware games than anyone else.
"we have 19 games that sold more than 400k copies and have more games than any other console"
well both the ps3 and 360 have a ton of games that sell in the millions so their ratio of popular games vs total games is way better than nintendo... they were proud of the fact that almost all wii games suck.
it probably woulda been better had they not shown up at e3. basically the same thing.
