funny segment where they were ragging on people who believed they got paid by HVS
Matt heard a rumor that the reason VC titles have slowed down is because nintendo is seeing more sucess with wii ware recently so they’re leaning towards that. He really doubts that though.
Prime trilogy plays well of course.
M: UA2 for wii won’t have online multiplayer…not surprising
Apparently Nintendo is dropping alot of money in their R&D budget right now. Like more than usual so they’re definitely working on something…
NyxQuest for Wiiware is pretty good so far.
Matt says again he’s going to visit Retro in the next couple of weeks around August 7th.
you may want to be a little bit more specific because I know how the majority of SRK dislikes smash dispite it being fun. I’ve also been keeping the list on the first page updated as stuff comes out…do you want a top 10?
Punch Out
Galaxy
Twilight Princess
No More Heroes
Mario Kart
TvC when it comes out
…shit that’s all I can really think of. The rest are hit and miss. I actually only enjoyed 2 of those games in my list. That’s No More Heroes and TvC, and even TvC got boring after like 2 weeks of playing.
I haven’t had a chance to play Punch Out but I haven’t wanted to either. Plus it doesn’t help I gave my wii to my sister for her birthday. But I have heard good things about it.
ok I wasn’t entirely sure what type of list you wanted…my must buy would be
Metroid Prime Trilogy (I would put corruption but there’s no point when this drops)
Super Mario Galaxy
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Mario Kart Wii
House of the Dead: Overkill
Zack and Wiki (if you can find it)
Twilight Princess
Punch-out
Boom Blox Bash Party
Excite Truck
No More Heroes
MadWorld would be on here if you like beat em ups and as good as I think the Conduit is I’d only recommend it if you haven’t really been playing shooters on the other consoles and you dig the wii’s control setup better for them.
I updated the front with more games that happened to show up in our books…2 of them being Fragile and Ju-On and it looks like Arc Rise may have got pushed back to 2010.
Nintendo Can’t Explain Low Hardcore Sales:
Iwata is watching his unfold via a one sided window
Consumer: :(…you guys don’t have a lot of good hardcore games…
some 3rd parties: Here ya go!
Consumer: looks at products and then proceeds to toss them over their shoulder and continue about their business of playing Shoot You in the Face 5
Iwata:…wait what!?
Ubisoft Shifting Casual Focus to Natal, Wii
YAY! More Imagine: Insert thing here! Just what we’ve always wanted! I’m still waiting on Imagine: Cooking Babies guys…make it happen!
UFC Series Headed to Wii:
wasn’t expecting that.

Monster Hunter 3 - Japanese 4 days to launch trailer
1:36 The classic controller pro looks so much like a Dual shock controller in this guy’s hands…it’s not even funny.
Those who complained about ‘Punch-out being the same as the old’ may just end up getting what they asked for.
Monkey Island Dev: Iphone more Powerful than Wii
basically developer of monkey island and strong bad title ssays this one one of the forums and they didn’t take too lightly to the comments. I’m wondering if this is somehow true or if this guy is just trying to cover his own ass.
Remember that arena robot typish game that I posted about that was coming to WiiWare? That’s what that is and it’s supposed to be coming this Monday. Wonder how it will turn out.
MH3 - Japanese 1 day trailer
There’s always someone in the comments who’s like ‘make this for the 360!’
They said this game looks like a game called Flashback on the Genesis that I’ve never heard of or played. Game looks pretty awesome and if you’re an owner of another system and don’t currently have a Wii then there’s a chance that it may show up on one of the others…it hasn’t been completely decided yet.
Guitar Hero 5 Wii Blowout:
Same features as it’s other breathren, no friend codes, and it’s going to have wii to Ds functionality with 2 exclusive modes - A stage show/manager music video creator for mii freestyle on the ds and Roadie Battle. I’m interested in what Roadie Battle is since he’s already saying it’s a blast but we won’t find out till next week. This only applies if you’re not completely tired of ‘Hero’ yet and you happen to own a DS.
