Surprising almost no one, Monster Hunter Tri gets announced for US/Europe release in 2010.

I’m really interested in this, but don’t want pay for play :frowning: No details announced on that yet.

382

Really good news guys!

Monster Hunter Tri Announced for U.S. and Europe:

it’s official! Early 2010!

383

:-d…

384

nice…lol

Edit:

Another interesting Wii Ware title is coming

Rage of the Gladiator:

it’s all boss fights.

Miyamoto Doesn’t see digital future:

you’ve been wrong before…however I do believe there’s going to be a place for both physical and digital media for at least a good period of time.

385

I went ahead and copped it for fun. Girls only get down to DEM PANNIEDRAWZ. Other than that same ole Texas Hold Em and Blackjack. Not worth DEM POINTZ!!

386

yessssssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

387

Unless you like the card games, you could just find screen shots online, if you really want to see the pics.

388

Naah. I just bought it for review purposes only. Just seems like a nice change of pace. And on top of that I have Nintendo Points for days that I never use.

Rage of the Gladiator - Debut Trailer

this uh…made me lol a bit. I’m on the fence about it as the only thing I can think of is a silly medieval version of punch out. Have to see more footage and the see how the mechanics work.

Monstrous Start for Monster Hunter 3:

just showing a bit of what the launch looked like over there. I reeeeally think Nintendo should reconsider that black Wii and just bring it over here. Just do like you did for Japan.

WiiWare Gets Grotesque:

It’s a tactical role playing game. They described the gameplay to Disgaea, Fire Emblem or Final Fantasy Tactics. I think this excerpt on what the game is about is interesting…

yyyyyyeah…sounds funny but I’m gonna wait for gameplay footage. but here are 3 screens

The Conduit Sells 150k during launch week:

not bad…feel bad for MadWorld though :frowning:

Iwata Still Not Considerings Price Drops:

don’t get cocky Iwata…

Edit:

Ju-On: The Grudge - Japanese Spookshow Trailer

Monster Hunter 3 graphics put pressure on Zelda team!? Oh and mention of Capcom helping design the Classic Controller Pro

On one hand, this brings up my constant fears that even Nintendo has gotten lazy about trying to use the Wii’s graphical capabilities. On the other hand, at least it means that probability of Nintendo half assing it with a cleaner version of Twilight Princess is now reduced.

391

I’ve collected around 40 stars in Super Mario Galaxy, really loving the game and Ice and Fire Mario are neat, but the time limit on them sucks IMO =/ Especially Fire Mario (plus why can’t I just press the B button to fire? Yes I know it already has a use, but swining the Wiimote annoys me sometimes, at least it’s aiming is good…sometimes), Ice Mario is wicked awesome and I loved the Comet Star challenge in the Flamefreeze galaxy (it was my 2nd after the one in the Bee kingdom which really pissed me off; WHY A FUCKING BACKFLIP?! IN MOST GAMES, CROUCHING THEN JUMPING IS A NORMAL HIGH JUMP, WHY THE FUCK IS IT A BACKFLIP IN THIS GAME??? Still…once I got the hang of it beating the clone wasn’t too…difficult).
Overall I like the gameplay but I could go with a better camera and controls, Ghost Mario is cool too, but Bee Mario was a let down IMO =/ Music is beautiful BTW, and I love the feel and theme of the ‘main HQ’, those Toads are so cute X3

392

You must not have played Mario 64. Its been like that since then. Along with the triple jump and long jump.

393

lol it originated in that game? The triple jump doesn’t bother me much though, since I don’t use it a lot. How do I do a Long Jump again?

394

While running, crouch then jump right away (when you’re still sliding)

EA Wii Sales Double:

EA sports active is best selling EA wii game…not surprising

IGN GH 5 Roadie Battle Hands-on

sounds like fun. Basically 2 guitarists go at it like normal in head to head and the one’s on their DS go over to the other guitarists side and fuck shit up while having to run back and make repairs to the damage that’s being done to their team mate. He said that instead of playing anything else in GH5 that they just lost track of time for the whole hour they had it which sounds like a good thing. Shouldn’t be too hard to find people with a DS.

Sega announces Super Monkey Ball: Step and Roll exclusive to Wii

If the article is also correct then Sonic Team isn’t working on this.

I believe this is the second report of netflix possibly coming to Wii…meh it’ll be nice though if it did.

insight on the protagonists

396

Oh shit, its basically Virtua On. Buying that!

397

I wanted to see some reviews on it first cause it look like it could be fun…Don’t know how customizable the bots and stuff are.

Edit: however if you do play it let us know how it is.

398

Sonichuman,

Looks like Modern Warfare has been confirmed for Wii? If so, we should definitely have an SRK team!!!

399

yeah…I just read. They threw a curve ball lol. When it said Modern Warfare I was expecting Modern Warfare 2…not the first one. Oh well better than nothin eh? And sure…if the controls are tight I’ll definitely pick it up since I prefer the wii mote to dual analog for shooters.

and IGN re confirms it

Now all we have to know is how the game plays…looks come second. But still I can see this happening:

Wii Owner: SWEET we got Modern Warfare! =D
Ps3/360 owner: continues playing Modern Warfare 2
Wii Owner: looks over shoulder and frowns

Hudson’s New Wii Game:

It’s called Shadow Tower and it has an interesting concept. I want to see it.

Samurai Warriors 3 is coming to the wii soooo if you’re into those games you might want to check that out…but I’m pretty sure it’ll be on 360/ps3 at some point so you may want to wait

They said that you’re only going to be using buttons to hack at people and not waggle which…definitely comes as a surprise to me Instead they’re going to have a classic controller pro pack for the game. Gackt (did a couple of songs in Dirge of Cerberus) will be doing the theme song and they’re throwing in a random famicom game that Shigeru Miyamoto did with the game. As of at the moment it’s only announced for Japan

A new shotgun shell is coming out that’s actually sort of a controller in itself…it’s interesting but the flaw I see in this is that most games now actually use the b trigger to shoot…which means you’d have to pump this thing everytime to do a shot. blech. me thinks they need to go back to the drawing board a bit.

Wii Sports Resort sells more than 500,000:

not surprising…

The wait will be quite long for MH3

Dead Space Extraction - Dev Diary Story

Those who were wondering if this will have anything to do with the comic and the animated feature have questions confirmed in this vid. Looking great so far.

IGN Overturn Review:

5.7 they yanked some stuff from the japanese release? strange…if you’ve played it yet Platinum_Pinoy I’d like to hear your input.
