Somebody asks them about Fatal Frame on their Upcoming titles list



Wii Sports Resort

- Craig gave it a 7.7
- Matt pretty much agreed with Craig’s score, was hoping it wouldn’t be overrated
- Game does insane stuff for the casual crowd…Bozon’s niece got addicted to swordplay, family didn’t want Bozon to take the game home
- Some games in there that aren’t super great
- Really good compilation of mini-games but in terms of polish, doesn’t have everything you’d expect out of a really awesome Wii title
- Feels like step 1 for the mini-games
- Matt thinks that not having a Mario Bowling is a missed opportunity
- Ideas you’d expect Nintendo to use but then they don’t really use it that often
- Craig thinks the airplane controls well, skydiving portion is actually fun
- Can tell which games are tacked on and which are good efforts
- Bicycling isn’t fun
- The more Craig plays Wii Sports Resort, the more he understands what MotionPlus actually is - More like a glorified tilt sensor
- MotionPlus still not 1:1 but makes Wiimote much better controller
- Cycling is Bozon’s least favorite game, Craig thinks it’s the boxing of Wii Sports Resort
- In terms of controls, basketball isn’t the best
- Review scores have been all over the place

- Wii MotionPlus already over 150k+ sales
- Tiger Woods selling very well with the pack in
- Also showed up as multiplatform (NPD), Matt wants to know how well the Wii version sold

IGN makes great reviews of core games, but I really don't give a damn what they think of any game they brand 'casual.'



"The worst part about these reviews is they are [subjective]--and their scores often depend on how drunk you got the media at a Street Fighter event."  — Mona Hamilton, Capcom Senior VP of Marketing

Ign reviews for wsr have been all over the place. Generally its scoring very well, 70+ minimum.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

still getting WSR - mainly because I got Tiger Woods pack in, bought Grand Slam Tennis (game only) and want a second WM+.

What did they say regarding Conduit sales?



 


It's a fallacy that Daemon Hatfield is still around, i say.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

"Not many Wii games that have truly stronger controls than 360/PS3/PC"

ummm......huh? Tons of games where the Wii controls are superior to those.

Is it me or is the overall tone of this podcast rather gloomy. I think its time to get some new guys in there and let these guys go play 360 and PS3.
