Forums - Nintendo - Your thoughts on Nintendo's four new games?

There's a lot of random threads and opinions are just so wild ight now. I wanted to bring things in a little closer and focus on the things that really matter in the end, the games. Nintendo announced four of them. Give me your thoughts on each one. You can use the Wii Motion Plus under Wii Sports Resort since it's the showpiece of the new accessory.

1. Wii Music-If I get what Miyamoto said, this is basically not really much of a game at all. You just get the gist of the actions of each instrument and button mash. The game does the rest. No skill required. How does everyone feel about this? Should there have been some sort of challenge to this game? I'm completely not interested in this anymore, because this is just reaching into the territory of autoplay. All the other Wii branded games require some skill and encourage you to get better at the game, especially the tracking systems of Wii Fit and Wii Sports. Wii Music would really only be relevant in a social setting and in my mind, for very short amounts of time. This seems as mindless and pointless as Microsoft's You're In the Movies, and it's not even funny in that campy B-movie way Microsoft's offering is.

2. Wii Sports Resort w/Wii Motion Plus-Sign me up day one for this, game and accessory both. Am I the only one that thought I saw a stillshot of volleyball in there? Awesome if true. Sword fighting is the new boxing, and this time it'll work properly. With this new accessory it would be great for Nintendo to go back into Wii Sports and change it for better accuracy. I would buy it this time if they went and did that. Wii Sports Plus!

3. Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia-I couldn't believe this is the game Nintendo decided to showcase as their lone DS title. Did I miss something else in there or was this really it? Why not Kirby at least? Thank god third parties have taken the DS over. It's to the point actually that Nintendo could drop software support and I'd still be a happy camper all year long. Maybe Nintendo knows that too.

4. Animal Crossing: City Folks-Color me interested. I've been bitching about chat for a while, and I will not shit on them now because it isn't perfect. Kudos to you Nintendo for listening. The game itself looks very impressive but I'm not sure it's for me. I love the slightly tweaked look they've given it, which seems to blend in that Animal Crossing look with old school SNES sprite crispness, if that makes any sense. I may give this a shot just so I can chat with some of you fine folks at VGChartz while we plan a fishing trip or go to the city. That sounds pathetic, but I'm actually looking forward to it.

Now for the thoughts of you fine folks.

1. Wii Music- I went from WOW to WTF when he said we had nothing to do...

2. Wii Sports Resort w/Wii Motion Plus- It looks good but I fear the support will take a long time to come and I'm tired of waiting.

3. Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia- DS is al about 3rd parties nowadays so I'm not surprised. I have no interest for this game but Kirby looks great.

4. Animal Crossing: City Folks- I'm not sure about this one as I barely think a cute animal town is what I want.



How many cups of darkness have I drank over the years? Even I don't know...

 

I have zero interest in any of these games and I would be suprised if any of them sold less than 5 million copies. The only one I think might would be Animal Crossing. The others will probably easily break 10 million.



Really? Not even Wii Sports Resort? That is going to be my new party game. How can the sword fighting at least not intrigue you? I can understand the dog frisbee though. WTF is that about?

Kirby trailer up. (:



Around the Network

The new Wii Sports sounds the best with the 1:1 implementation and Wii Music looks the worst from everything I have read about it. People have been complaining about how unnatural it feels just using the Wiimote for everything.

Animal Crossing could be the best depending on how the final game turns out.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Wii Music: I wasent expecting much to start off with, but if its in the budget range I'll prolly pick it up

Wii Sports Resort: The best game Nintendo showed, can not wait for this game

Pokemon: Meh, not really in to pokemon.

Animal Crossing: Got my girlfreind excited....thank you Nintendo.



Wii music looks kinda bad...

Everything else was cool though.



As in go buy us some coffee.

Wii Music: I don't get it. I just don't get it. Give me a copy in my hands and maybe it'll make sense or maybe not. This game has been in development for 3-4 years. I wonder if in that time GH and RB havn't made it irrelevant.

Wii Sports Resort: If this was available next month I'd be excited. Not so much for Wii Sports 2 but because then Force Unleashed and other games could use it too. But it's out next year!! WTF?! It's not a hard game to make, it doesn't need another year of development time. It just means while I'm buying Tiger Woods, Force Unleashed, etc this year it'll be lessened by the knowledge that it could've, should've had MotionPlus but won't. What happened to the 'announce it when it's about to come out' rule?

Pokemon Ranger: Don't care

Animal Crossing: Never played AC, so I don't know what I'm missing. It looks too cutesy for my taste and that's saying something considering my tastes. I know it's wildly popular though and this has voice chat which is nice. Not clear on the online aspects though. I'll likely rent it and decide then.

 

And ahh... that's it??! Where's all their other games?? There had better be (a lot) more games or this is a return to the dearth of games the GC suffered and died from.
