there was a small complaint about that. If they were to replace one of the toads with THE toad then I’m not entirely sure who could take the place of the other one. Peach is kidnapped, Yoshi’s being used to ride on, Wario and Waluigi would be completely out of character unless it was for money…uh…maybe Daisy?
Aren’t there lots of Toads though?
I’d buy that when more mushrooms are born they have the same personality.
Just take two Toads and give them different suits.
EDIT: Or maybe a red capped white spotted shroom (amanita muscaria) that’s like, Toad’s cousin or something.
IGN AU NSMB Wii review:
9.2 The small complaints he had most people already know about. No online, no leaderboards, and no way to save your scores. Meh…most people will youtube their speedruns anyway.
im so out of the wii loop. i used to be so hardcore in to it, but then i started getting in to my ps3 more. i got muramasa but havent touched it yet. The only game i really want to play is no more heroes 2.
I played Muramasa at a friend’s place. It was fun for about an hour, and then it got real old real fast.
There is Toadette; Toad’s sister, whom they could’ve used.
No High Score saving sounds rather silly, but what the hey, we’d be playing the heck out of the game multiplayer anyways =)
My top Wii games:
Little King’s Story - Challenging. 30 hours+ of gameplay. Loads of fun.
Super Smash Bros Brawl - I know the hardcore smash players aren’t big fans of this game, but it’s still fun for casual players.
Okami - Beautiful presentation. Wii-mote brush control scheme is awesome.
Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess - Good game overall. Final boss fight was kind of a letdown though. Not very challenging.
Super mario Galaxy - Lots of fun. Didn’t think the gravity element would have added much to the gameplay, but I’m glad I was wrong.
No More Heroes - Humor. Art style. Music. Bosses. The overworld could have used a lot more flavor though, and the money-grinding wasn’t too fun.
Metroid Prime 3/Trilogy - Loved it. I only played 3 though, so if you’re gonna get this, get Trilogy.
Decent games:
Madworld - Repetitive gameplay. Very short. I was very underwhelmed.
Zack and Wiki - Game was very creative and I can see a lot of people liking this however it just wasn’t my cup of tea overall.
Punch-out - This was fun but I didn’t touch it after I beat Donkey Kong though. Didn’t really care about finishing the challenges.
Games i’m looking into:
Muramasa - I may check this one out. I’m hoping it doesn’t turn into a Madworld though.
A boy and his blob - I played the original on NES and enjoyed it. Want to try this one.
Silent Hill shattered memories - never played any of the silent hill series. This could be a good jumping on point.
Couple others that are further down the road. SMG2, S&P2, Arc Rise Fantasia, Dragon Quest X, FF crystal chronicles, etc.
Anybody here anything good about COD4: Reflex?

I’ve read a couple good reviews over at gamefaqs, and seen a couple interesting youtube vids.
Are you planning on getting it?
I’m going to get MW2 for Christmas, so I’m debating buying MWR if only to play it for a month and a half. If some SRK heads would get MWR, I’d hop on and grab it.
I know CODMW and MW2 are great games…but I don’t know why I just sit there and stare at the hype train as it goes past me on the station. That being said I’m still interested and I saw saw the couple of vids GT put up (which I’ll post in my usual format)…If not for the fact that I gave in and bought Raging Blast. So far the game looks decent considering it’s port of the 360/ps3 games…and I always do like FPS better with Wii controls so I may buy it and then get MW2 later at some point.

not the real numbers but it’s basically what some analysts predict based off the numbers they have currently.
Electronic Arts Still Committed to New Properties:
http://wii.ign.com/articles/104/1044109p1.html
those following the industry know EA cut some jobs and some concern rose up over their New IP’s since they were going to focus more on the stuff that ‘makes money’. Seems they haven’t completely given up yet on that stuff.
IGN Excitebike: World Rally review
http://wii.ign.com/articles/104/1043699p1.html
7.9 complaints included not having split screen multiplayer offline, online has some lag pockets, and it doesn’t change too much from it’s NES counterpart.
IGN Shaun White Snowboarding: World Stage review
http://wii.ign.com/articles/104/1043494p1.html
7.6 complaints included not much changing from the first and the music is somewhat repetitive. Side note is this game is more kid centric and doesn’t use Motion Plus except to make tricks.

IGN COD:MWR hands-on
http://wii.ign.com/articles/104/1044159p1.html
He’s really complaining about the framerate and said the cursor isn’t as responsive as he would like it to be and it also crashed on him once but he couldn’t replicate it. Interestingly reading the comments down below some of them are saying they aren’t experiencing the same thing he is. Sounds like Bozon may want to spend more time with the game before writing the review.

So Target recently had the 3 for 2 Wii game sale, which I imagine boosted Wii sales.
Gamestop now has the “Trade in two select items for a $150 Wii” sale.
Making room on the shelves for the Black Wii? God I hope so.
Would be cool if they released it Black Friday. It’d be my first Black Friday Shopping experience.
I can’t wait for Sin & Punishment 2 to come out here. The [media=youtube]NsTFyou_OXI[/media] already make my frothing demand for this game increase.
That would be so sexy.
IGN COD:MWR review:
7.0 Bozon is getting some flack for this review lol. If someone picks it up and plays it let me know how it is.
Bully 2 confirmed:
Wii bound? Doesn’t say though.
Electronic Arts Frustrated with Wii:
a.k.a. ‘We’re making this shit and ya’ll ain’t buying it!’ Dead Space Extraction sold only 9,000 copies in it’s first week.
GT NFS:Nitro review
7.2 They complained about the camera as well but were overall a tad bit more harsh on the game.
GT Shaun White Snowboarding: World Stage review
7.9 They reccommend using the balance board and if not…then knock a point of their score. They also mentioned about the game feeling samey to it’s predeccessor.
Lufia Returns:
not announced for wii necessarily though
Silent Hill arrives for Holidays
Dec. 8 it is then, PS2 and psp versions will be announced at a later date…probably next year
Nintendo Unveils Japan’s early 2010 titles
2 second party titles, 1 for the wii and 1 for the DS. The one for the Wii (Dynamic Zan) is being made by the same people who did Earth Defense Force. The DS game is a sequal to Hotel Dusk.
Anyone see this Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles “trailer”?
I didn’t realize that I had to do more than just watch. They should do more of these with other games.
^ Holy shit that ‘trailer’ was fuckin awesome lol. I’m seconded on they should do more trailers like this. Shit was tripping me out at first.
In some other news, I went to work today and in one of the boxes there happened to be Naruto. They shipped the game mad early and I already picked up my copy. I don’t know if any of the other retailers got their copies yet so if you were picking it up I’d reccomend calling just in case.
IGN Naruto Shippuden CON Rev 3 review
8.0 Some complaints included hiccups in lag online and he has quams with both store mode and story mode calling them ‘unbalanced and unenjoyable’. You don’t need to go through those modes to unlock the characters since you can earn money doing any fights apparently. I never found CON/GNT to be comparable to Tekken though :wtf:

DJ Hero Spins for Modest Crowd
October NPD Numbers:
Uncharted 2 beasted last month. The only 2 wii related games in the top 10 were wii fit plus (2nd) and wii sports resort (4th). 360 titles make up most of the software sold in top 10. Brutal Legend didn’t sell that well ( Try again next time Schafer )
Hardware numbers went Wii (506,900), DS (457,600), PS3 (320,600), 360 (247,700) and then PSP (174,000).
Industry as a whole seems to be down a bit :sad:. DAMN YOU ECONOMY!!! shakes clenched fist
There’s some info on the capcom unity page on IGN about Monster Hunter 3 if you live in San Francisco and 2 funny vids of Frank West in TVC.

Sorry if this was posted before, but this is too funny and awesome.
