Mad late, but I just now got around to playing Dead Space Extraction and No More Heroes 2. Holy shit at both.
Nintendo is patenting a new wii mote apparently.
yes I know…kotaku article but I don’t know how they’d be able to flub it up. In any case this could just be a Wii-mote with wiimotion plus built in. Don’t be surprised if this happens to show up at E3…probably if they do a demo of LOZ.
Still playing Monster Hunter Tri…finally got a mf’in Rathalos Plate for the full set of armor. I don’t even want to think about fighting one of those things anytime soon. But at least my character looks pimpin’ in his full Rathalos set.
Also, Xenoblade looks more and more like it’s gonna be really good.
IGN Super Mario Galaxy 2 review:
- No…you’re seeing that score correct. This completely threw me off lol. I wasn’t expecting them to give this game a 10 was expecting like 9.5ish but never all the way since I expected them to knock on it for scaling back the story. I think this is the first Wii game that they’ve given a 10 too actually if memory serves me correct. I expect the fanboys to come out in full force.
only 2 more days!
man i’ve been enjoying too much of the good ole homebrew on the wii. snes is top tier! coming back to wii games now.
gah! I hate when I play like garbage in Super Street Fighter IV.
Anyway. Maybe I’m crazy, but I’m starting to think Xenoblade has motion-based saber/sword control. Look closely at the animation of that beam blade.
GT Super Mario Galaxy 2 review:
9.7 I haven’t gone through the whole review yet…I’m only about halfway through it. GT has some a good number of spoilers so far in this so I wouldn’t reccomend watching it if you want most of it to be fresh to you. They’re playing a few tracks from the game in this review though and my ears are creaming all over themselves. So far the only thing I’ve heard from the review that they may have docked the .3 for was not being able to go back to certain areas after you launched from them via the Star Launchers.
Edit:
They also complained about aliasing and textures being blurry.
Has anyone played the new Wii PoP game? I beat the PS3 one a few days ago and after reading about the existence of a Wii version, I’d appreciate some feedback from those that played it.
Gamespot gave Galaxy 2 a 10/10 as well.
For a sequel that utilizes the same formula and engine, and is arriving less than 3 years since its predecessor launched, it is really tearing it up at review sites. Usually I don’t care much about review sites, but this is kind of impressive.
any good wrestling games for the wii?
Wow…gamespot gave it a 10? I’d almost not believe it myself if I wasn’t staring at it. That’s completely crazy talk.
Japan Numbers 5/22/10
The top 3 games from last week havent budged at all from their spots. Nier Replicant moved itself up a few spots and SSIV (PS3) took a small dip. FIFA World Cup 2010 (PS3) makes an appearance at #10 and some game on PSP called Haku Ouki showed up #5
PS3 and Wii swap spots on the list again letting the PSP and PS3 tag team the top again. Hardware went PSP, PS3, Wii, DSi LL, DSi, 360, Lite, PS2, and Go. Something interesting that people probably don’t know…GS sells used Go’s at like $149.99. That should probably tell you how bad this thing isn’t really selling.
GT Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands Wii:
7.6 They knocked on the combat and the waggle for the controls. Supporting characters are meh. Why the hell does the prince look weird in the facel in certain shots like :33? Wow…they were being serious about just ripping the Sands of Time model and putting it in the game. They don’t even have it talking during cutscenes.
Bonus!
Mega 64: Super Mario Galaxy 2 for dummies
Incase you don’t know they’re making fun of the fact that Nintendo had to put a tutorial DVD in with the game over in Japan.
Edit:
If you have a PS3 or 360 I’d say the Smackdown vs. Raw series is better on those consoles. The one’s are the wii are solid from what I’ve heard and read so far but it’s HD breathren are just better.
So far, on Metacritic, Mario Galaxy 2 has an average score of 97 based off of 19 reviews. I thought that was impressive…until I looked at how Mario Galaxy did. It also averaged a 97, but that score is based off of ***73 reviews. *** Holy shit.
I only own a wii and a ps2.
^ if that’s the case then try giving the Wii versions a shot. I’m pretty sure the latest iterations have different control schemes so you don’t have to use motion controls if you don’t want too but I"m not 100%. I’d suggest renting or buying used so you can return it just in case.
I’m surprised people haven’t at least said anything yet about SMG2. I played some of it at work and I have my copy but I wanna play some more Red Dead before I really start to dig into it. So…how’s everyone enjoying it so far?
wish I could comment, but I couldn’t pass on the $20 bonus from Amazon. My game has been shipped and should arrive on Tuesday, though I will certainly check my box tomorrow for the heck of it.
Unless Saturday Night Slam Masters in on VC. No.
yeah I’m just waiting for my amazon copy to arrive soon too. that $20 credit was too good to pass
I’m kinda short on cash ATM, but I’ll try to get it in June.
Even if I could get ti soon, I’m too lazy to hook up my Wii to the TV and play ;.;
Is there anything different about Luigi mode besides him having different ‘attributes’ to Mario?
