Nintendo Voice Chat podcast summary

June 17th, 2009 Posted in DS, News, Wii, Written by Valay | No Comments »

E3 recap

- Metroid: Other M, Galaxy 2, new Zelda mentioned, Red Steel 2, Grinder, Gladiator A.D., Silent Hill, Sin and Punishment 2, Endless Ocean 2, Scribblenauts were at E3
- Everyone loves Scribblenauts
- Don’t really expect game on the DS to be game of the show, Bozon was blown away that it was
- IGN not the only site giving Scribblenauts game of the show award
- Warner Bros. didn’t really feature the game prominently at E3

Metroid: Other M

- Optimistic with Sakamoto leading
- Not the same Team Ninja we knew
- Game that is all about exploration, seems to be heavy emphasis on combat/melee combat
- Matt has some reservations, but up with Metroid game with backstory + cinematic
- Bozon thinks only game that holds up against Other M in terms of presentation is Smash Bros.
- Someone mentioned that sequence with Samus running in trailer looks like it was ripped right out of Ninja Gaiden

meh.

Just E3 recap.

Everybody know what happened at E3

New Super Mario Bros. Wii

- Great addition to the library, predictable/expected, Matt will definitely play it and enjoy

If it was so expected why weren't you able to predict it in your E3 2009 predictions?

"- Will be a solid review"

IGN giving a solid review must be another 8.4...


"- This is the third mature game from SEGA and the first two bombed"

isn't this game rated teen?

Yes, it is rated teen.

"- This is the third mature game from SEGA and the first two bombed"

House of the Dead 2 & 3 is Mature and has sold over a million.

Overkill didn't bomb, is on track to sell over 500k this year.

MadWorld will probably bomb though.

Madworld may still have 4k-a-week legs for the forseeable future. It has been consistently selling that much already. With a small Christmas boost, it could be at 400k a year after release, which is good or bad depending on who you ask.

Leatherhat on July 6th, 2012 3pm. Vita sales:"3 mil for COD 2 mil for AC. Maybe more. "  thehusbo on July 6th, 2012 5pm. Vita sales:"5 mil for COD 2.2 mil for AC."

It depends

How much they need to sell to actually make some profit?

 

I dont buy this "1m or we´re losing money" talk...

Not on wii games, at least.
