Reggie: Over 10 Wii Balance Board games in development

Agreed.

I think you're giving em too much credit Shag. I'd hardly call 10 games a "catalog".

I'd recommend Rock Band drums on expert level, I'm sure it would be more of a workout.

Gotta agree with Shag, you can work up a mean sweat with the drums.

I need to get live so I can challenge Shag to a drum off.

You mean a beat-off right...

lolz, and yes, hurry up crono.

Yeah, but so do bottles of 12 year-old girls' saliva...

Good point, big Tuna.

What are you trying to say?

Don't forget Brew Ski.




Thank you, I'll be here all night, folks! Try the roast chicken!

It can support 660 lbs., but it only measures 350 lbs.

Guess I'll have to keep one of my balls resting on the lazy-boy.

Shag, they are called breasts. We know you are part of the 4% unidentified.

Wow, Co came with the clever... this will be a day I remember.

Im voting him down just because im afraid of change.

lol p'preciate cha deaftly!

is their any chance that SKATE will be re-released on the wii and i can use the board at an actual board? i have a addiction to skate i have to play at least 2-3hrs every day. and after 4 months iam still unlocking new spots and finding new things to do.

Because much like the people clamoring for 1:1 Wiimote swordplay, those asking for 1:1 Skateboarding (at least beyond the basic moving around) are going to be sorely disappointed

I just don't understand why some people on here hunt down Nintendo articles and post the same crap on every one. Seriously, who gives a damn what anyone thinks on the internets?

Mr. Khan, all you need is the 1:1 basic movement of the board in a skating game. Just use the buttons on the remote to handle the rest. I think it would be kind of neat.

Don't forget : Mario and Luigi: Statue Simulator.

Considering they've already released (or are about to release) quality updated renditions of all their major franchises, I'd say they haven't really sold anyone out.

They're just adding the gimmicks in addition to appeasing the fanboys.

So Mario Galaxy, Metroid, Smash Bros Brawl, Mario Kart and Twilight Princess (AKA- OoT Remake) means they're ignoring their core audience?

Nintendo has never been BETTER to their core audience. Nintendo is actually all about the fan service and nostalgia this generation, if anything.

You two are counterpointing FenixKnight, guys. Now where's the logic in that?

Samfish

I UNDERSTAAAAND THAT!! But whats the next gimmick, a mini toilet bundled with Mario Shit Deluxe?!! Why does'nt Nintendo focus their energy on new IP's instead of cheap gimmicks for kids and senior citizens? Also My question is until when is Mario, Zelda and Metroid going to satisfy you? Is that ALL they are ever going to do, gen after gen after fricken gen?

Dont get me wrong Im a sucker for Mario, after all I bought a system just for that game alone but it would be nice to have a GDC Nintendo press confrence where THEY are the ones that create all the buzz and hype. Thats where I applaude MS and Sony.

Just my .02

Nintendo comes out with at least one or two new franchises every generation. I'm not worried about that.

Furthermore, I don't blame them for focusing on "cheap gimmicks". The average "hardcore" gamer abandoned and berated Nintendo with the Gamecube. They aren't stupid. They know they're never going to get a chunk of that pie back unless they as a company sacrifice their principals and make whatever flavor of the moment genre people like.
...and even then, it's hardly a sure bet, what with the whole "Nintendo is teh kiddie" attitude amongst so much of the "hardcore" community.

So they went in a different direction while also giving the people who DID support them through the last 10 or so years everything they could want...more or less.
I'm sure if you ask any hardcore Nintendo fan, they'll tell you that they're quite pleased with the way things are going thus far, as far as games go.
That Sega is treating the Wii essentially like the Dreamcast 2 is a nice bonus, too.



I also like that Nintendo treats the GDC for what it's supposed to be – a conference for game developers to share ideas and talk.
MS and Sony have turned it into a freakin' trade show event. That's not what it is or should be. As a result, we get...lukewarm "megatons", at best. Not that I don't want news to come out of it...but you get what I'm driving at, I trust. Just let GDC be what it is and save the big stuff for E3 and PAX.

You bring up a good point, we're probably getting a new WarioWare with this thing. Not that I mind, I love the unique ways the WarioWare series works each game. Now I'm wondering how they'll work 9-volt's classic gaming stages with it.

I'd buy that. And using this to dodge in a new Punch Out....

TIME CRISIS like it was meant to be played!

Time Crisis on Wii? Yes plz.

Hell, if they put effort into it, they could make Wii Time Crisis look better than that garbage they put on PS3 (Umbrella Chronicles looked better, and that's kinda sad for the hardware disparity)

Even better, maybe it'll make it into Wario-Ware 2020 as a boss, like ROB did in the Smooth Moves Starfox level.
