Why on earth if Nintendo had the foresight to use anime artwork in Wario's game can't they pull some grown up sci fi dystopia Akira shit and make a different game at least for half their market.

In fact that is exactly what they should do with both Punch Out and a first party sword fighting game if theyre going to.

Why are you asking why Nintendo can't do this and not asking why Square or Ubisoft or EA or various other game developers can't do this?

Games I want: (Wii)Mario Kart, Okami, Bully, Conduit,  No More Heroes 2 (GC) Eternal Darkness, Killer7, (PS2) Ico, God of War1&2, Legacy of Kain: SR2&Defiance


My Prediction: Wii will be achieve 48% market share by the end of 2008, and will achieve 50% by the end of june of 09. Prediction Failed.

coz nintendo know always, almost always, what their doing. They have also been the best demonstrators of their hardware with SMG and WS for examples.

edit - Although i do agree that they have snowballed great titles since the Wii was available.



“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.

Id expect the motionplus device to fall into the 20-30 range, 15 if they want to be nice about it

All it is, is an accelerometer(or gyroscope or something) with a passthrough for the nunchuk. i'd be surprised if it even reached $20, and expect it to be in the $10 - $20 range so that this plus the Wii remote doesn't climb too much higher than the cost of the other system's controllers.

You want them to turn punchout into a sci fi dystopia akira type game?  What?

Definitely for hardcore as well as casual. The only thing with Nintendo's E3 press conference i'm upset about is that motion + is coming out next year & not this year :(

@Grey Acumen-You make a great point about this benefitting us in the long run. I don't think that was Nintendo's focus when they thought up the Motion Plus and Wii Sports Resort, but I do see us benefitting greatly from it. However, 90% of us ae excited for Wii Sports Resort so I'm not sure where you think the animosity towards this game is coming from. It's Wii Music we want to make bonfires with. If you are talking in regards to Nintendo's press conference being too "casual" friendly, it has less to do with the games they did showcase and more to do with all of the games they decided not to showcase. The conference itself was just a mess of bad presenters, bad gameplay showcases, and not enough of DS games.

Wake up and smell the strategy, people!!! This isn't about the GAME, this is about 1:1 motion. What have hardcore gamers been clamoring for? 1:1 motion, and Nintendo just gave it to them, and all the rest of us.

Oh but wait, in order for developers to actually USE it, we're going to need to make sure it gets set as a standard, but how can they possibly make such a small little addon a standard? Oh yeah, by packaging it with a "Wii" titled game that every casual consumer eats up like slow kids eating  playdough and paste.

 

Agree, but I really want a 1:1 on other games, yeah I will have to wait, I know...

Hardcore game refers to having top quality graphics. The Wii is a casual gamer console. PS3 is the hardcore gamer console. X360 is casual-hardcore gamer console.

Wii Sports Resorts looks like a very casual game. But hey I do not know what the hell I am talking about.
