Nintendo Voice Chat Podcast, Episode 44

Matt and Mark chat about everything from Punch-Out!! to Red Steel 2 in this week's podcast.

April 30, 2009 - Welcome to Nintendo Voice Chat. Matt Casamassina, Craig Harris, Bozon, and Levi Buchanan are going to waggle their way into your hearts. Its been a week, we're still down a couple guys -- Craig's in Australia running with the roos -- but Matt and Boz are back to discuss the following:

Punch-Out!! Is it really all it's cracked up to be?

Red Steel 2. Do we like the new art style and MotionPlus direction?

The Tiger Woods bundle. Why you should buy it.

Resident Evil. Is it still scary?

Little King's Story. A great game that doesn't really use the Wii.

Spyborgs' redesign. Aged up for the better?

Rabbids Go Home. This game is way cooler than you think it is.

Plus, we answer a bunch of listener mail. Remember, you can e-mail us your questions.

I will be getting 6 out of those 7 games, pretty scary that they already have my money without even trying that hard :)

(PS I will not be getting Tiger Woods, just not a sports game fan unfortunately - but i'm glad they are making a real effort with the sports games on the Wii this year)



Currently dreaming of: DKC4 or Sonic the Hedgehog 4 (classic 2D platformers) for WiiWare, Smash Bros. for DSi, New Super Mario World for DSi, a Wii remake or true sequel of Final Fantasy Tactics.

One down, hopefully more awesomeness to come.

Can't wait for the summary.Wonder if there any other secret modes in Punch out!



I love fighting games !!! Come on challenge me !

soon = now

http://www.nintendoeverything.com/?p=15330#more-15330

Madden

- Bozon doesn’t mind how the game looks visually
- Could have been a whole lot worse
- A little simplified
- Overall game looks slick
- Didn’t see anything on MotionPlus for the game
- Matt wishes they would have gone farther with visual style
- Still excited about this version more than any other on Wii
- Have to wait and see what modes they’re keeping, changing

Spyborgs

- It’s a pretty looking brawler
- Animations are good
- Hoping to run at 60 FPS
- Matt hasn’t seen it himself yet
- Sounds like it’ll be a basic brawler
- Putting a lot of motion in there, seems unnecessary
- Matt more psyched than he was before
- Very co-op focused

 

Red Steel 2

- Going to be very Wii MotionPlus heavy
- Can tell the main character is a gunslinger type
- Whole new storyline
- Weird mixture of western and modern day
- People digging the art, Matt is too
- Art looks really good
- Matt worried that it might be a Wii MotionPlus fest - need to wait and find out
- The gun controls were bad in the first game, reticule was stuttery
- Game rumored to be running at 60 FPS
- Matt + Bozon excited about the game, have their fingers crossed

Rabbids Go Home

- Matt really excited
- Not a minigame fest
- Really great artstyle, good game engine
- Funny
- Feels more like an adventure/platform game
- Weird funny scenario game
- Trigger comedy events
- No Rayman in the game
- Looks promising
- It’s basically a complete reboot

Little King’s Story

- Very much like a Pikmin kind of game
- A little lame not being able to use IR to move guys around
- Still really fun, has own comedy
- Can upgrade people into soldiers, farmers, different job classes
- Nothing “Wii” about the controls
- Tough to explain
- Graphics are a bit fuzzy
- A lot of fun to play
- Bozon likes it a lot

DK Jungle Beat

- Controls work pretty well for the most part
- Looks pretty much the same, plays pretty much the same
- Has more of a platformer element
- Matt not sure if he likes it better since he grew up playing on the bongos
- Game still looks great
- Challenges that felt more complex with bongos now feel easier
- Matt would still probably get GameCube version but it’s still an interesting platformer to check out

EA Sports games

- Tiger Woods coming with MotionPlus bundle in North America
- Grand Slam Tennis bundle in Europe
- Both coming out in June
- Disc Golf is a very cool Wii-exclusive mode in Tiger
- Wii MotionPlus makes a huge difference

Punch-Out!!

- Put a lot of time into it
- It’s Punch-Out!!
- Craig loves it, Matt doesn’t love it quite as much as he does
- Thinks it’s a good game, has old-school vibe
- Interface is junk
- One font for all characters
- Cut-scenes kind of a cop out - 4 still animations
- Disco Kid is really the only character addition
- Can get to end of the game pretty quickly
- Unlock Title Defense - fight everyone again, movesets change, might need to change attack styles
- There is some replay value
- Overall the game is good, not mindblowing
- Matt dumbfounded when he heard the development team spent 2 years on the game since there isn’t a ton of content

Reader questions

- Don’t want to burn out coverage of The Conduit but Will have some coverage on the game in the future
- Sequel to Dreamcast game Matt/Bozon would like to see on Wii: Jet Grind Radio, Powerstone, Shenmue
- Haven’t done a podcast lately because Craig has been away, so the team is down a man, too busy - Will try to recover on Monday
- Matt all for the new art direction of Red Steel 2, has faith in the project - will see a lot of the game at E3
- Bozon is pretty good at Punch-Out!!
- Not much news on Retro Studios but Matt is expecting their game at E3 - Don’t know for sure - Seems like it’s time for it to show up
- Scribblenaughts news tomorrow
- Mighty Flip Champs waiting to be improved, then it’s up to Nintendo to put the game up
- Mighty Flip Champs not actually a test for Shantae on DSiWare - If DSiWare isn’t a successful business opportunity, WayForward won’t want to fund another game - If DSiWare is successful enough, Shantae is in the mix
- Don’t know anything about Moving Memo
- There will of course be some Wii games from other publishers at E3
- IGN will have an inside scoop on anything High Voltage shows at E3
- What Matt said about Mario Galaxy 2 at E3 was kind of bsed - He doesn’t really know but thinks it’s likely - Know that Galaxy was a success, can be expanded upon



the words above were backed by NUCLEAR WEAPONS!

I should probably get the Wii speak...
