You have just got to be kidding me. Phatty is one of the worst, if not the worst editor in the business. It's a goddamn miracle that the blop is still working.

@ all the ppl who doubt Nintendo ign

ROFLROFLROFL you are funny

that was by a guy that is well known for his 3d animations.. another popular thing he made was Nintendo On

But that wasn't played on a ds.. it was just a video file.. if you actually looked at the blog, you'd notice it was on the ds and not a streaming video

Please only bitch about things that you have half an ounce of knowledge about 

>if you actually looked at the blog, you'd notice it was on the ds and not a streaming video

since we ALL know that there's NO WAY to play video (fake gameplay) via DS, right?

All I'm saying is, If it's real, and they are actually ALLOWED to show the Demo, Why can't they release the publisher or developer's info?

It's like showing off IPhone's functionality last year without telling people it's from Apple. Yeah, people in the media business are allowed to do that ALL THE TIME.

but hey, if you are willing to believe anything you people tell you. Good for you.

I know you can stream videos on the ds.. but i said that it was "not a streaming video".. again if you actually watched the video you would notice he was interacting with it.. it was very well choreographed if the interaction was part of the video

 and if you have yet to possess to ability to distinguish fact from fiction, you have much to learn.   raising doubts is the easy part.  figuring out where to draw the line with good reason is the hard part.

>it was very well choreographed if the interaction was part of the video


well, they did have MONTHS to do it. from when they first announce it.. to then telling everyone to "SUCK it". and then to finally release the video.

Why did they take months to show something they had all this time?

What kind of company would let you show their product without attaching their names to it?

and most importantly, What kind of idiot would go as far as making a demo (must be pretty deep into the development process) and cancel a sure million seller?

Hey, who knows, right? Maybe if you guys keep hoping and thinking about it, you'll get those 3rd party AAA's in your dreams.

 First of all IGN would never let them pull a stupid stunt like faking this type of thing, it could seriously damage IGN's reputation.  But this idea that they would put forth a tremendous effort over the course of months to further a lie that literally gains them nothing is prepostrous.

People don't lie without a reason.  And they could have easily let the story die, but they showed it off anyways.  What do they gain from that?  Nothing but more doubt from paranoid internet dwellers it would seem.

As for why it wasn't released?  If you've paid attention to the recent problems MS and Nintendo have had its nothing new that these types of crossover projects can be a pain in the ass to work out when both parties bring major revenue potential to the table.  The Halo franchise on the DS would produce a metric F-ton of revenue and who gets what share of that would be a major issue.  It wouldn't be the first time two groups walked away from a lucrative partnership.

So really we are left with two guys who have no history of lying or even telling fibs, they have no incentive, and practically everything to lose.  Oh sure now I see why you think they made it up.../sarcasm

omg, Wii-hater.

You don't see me trolling the PS3 boards with Chad Warden posts, yet, do you?

Here's what's up. Us Wii owners, we know that quality third party support is nice. Be sure to add the word "quality" because with shovelware, we actually have the most third party support on the Wii already.

Still, our first party support is just shy of being better than the overall support of the PS3 or the 360, imho.

You act like first party support is the same across all consoles. Anyway, do you believe quality third party support will be worse on the Wii than it was on the Gamecube? I don't, and you know what, I loved the Gamecube, still play it sometimes.

We want quality 3rd party support, but ya know what the biggest advantage of it would be, to me? Wii haters, like yourself, would no longer have any argument against the system.

We(and when I say "we" I mean "I") are happy as hell with the announced titles for the Wii. It has quite a few third party games that we want really bad, like, NMH, Tales of Symphonia(omg, big one for me), FF:CC, and Fragile, and then some OMGBBQ titles from Nintendo, like Brawl and Kart.

I personally can't see myself, a Gamecube fanboy, getting through this gen without playing Tales of Symphonia 2, or Brawl. I just can't do it. Tales of Symphonia was a hell of a game. Take it from someone who knows a littlebit about the JRPG scene. It was better than Suikoden 3, it was better than Shadow Hearts: Covenant, and those games were phenominal.

...but you know what? If the only games coming out for the thing were first party Nintendo games, for this whole gen, I would still feel like the Wii was the equal or better console, with, most likely, the top 3 games of the whole generation on their system(cause you know Nintendo).

1. Relative Affordiability

2. Quality Hardware

3. Nintendo Development

Now, with the other consoles, you don't get those things(exception is the PS3 DOES have quality hardware).

People get caught up in the motion controls, and while they do improve the functionality of the console, and make for some interesting possitilities, the console is still freakin' awesome without them. Just the feel of the remote on the Wii menu is something that has to be experienced. The Wii is greater than the sum of its parts, and you don't know that until you spent some "alone time" with her.

Then again, I bought the Gamecube and loved it, so maybe its just me.

Saying the Wii won't get as many AAA third party games as the 360, is one thing. It probably won't. It'll almost definately have more AAAE's and is guarnteed to have more AAA 1st party games this generation, out of the gate. This is due to the fact that most exclusive Non-Nintendo games(Mass Effect, Halo 3, MGS) will likely go to Games for Windows , 360, or PS3, in the next 4 years due to increasing cost of development.

Here is the question that explains the Wii's success in one sentence:

How can you hate Nintendo enough, that it keeps you from shelling out 250 bucks to play their games?

The games are good. Even if you hate them, they are still good. You should play them. It's like saying "I don't wanna watch Spirited Away because I hate cartoons," or "Elfen Lied sucks because I hate redheads." It doesn't matter if your into the subjectmatter at all. The product still rocks, it's amazing, and no matter how much you try marginalize the games by using the stigma of "kiddy," the end result is your missing some of the best games and times of your life by justifying them away, and your gonna be all the worse for it. Not playing SMG or Twilight Princess, is not doing yourself any favors, trust me.
