Sin & Punishment 2 coming to Wii

Well, I feel like they would have screwed over Starfox no matter what.... I mean nothing can beat the N64 one, they've tried twice already and mega-failed.

At least we don't have to worry about furries anymore. :3

Forget E3, Nintendo gets their own special day.

At E3 there probably wasn't anything to announce or show off. Software development can take HUGE strides in mere months, and in this industry a poor first impression can annihilate a game before it's even off the ground.

Think of it this way: If Nintendo had said, "We've got new games coming!" four months ago, and the screenshots looked terrible, do you think the irrational fanbrat whining would have been lessened at all? Of course not! Instead, Nintendo could have easily said, "Public perception of the game was poor, so we cancelled it, figuring it wouldn't sell. You've ruined (insert fan-beloved franchise here) forever, we can never make another game for it. Clean out your desks and report to the firing squad out back."

I'm just glad I invested in the pants industry last night.

Hey hey hey. StarFox Assault wasn't THAT bad. (Command was an atrocity, and don't get me started on Adventures.) But Namco 'got' what made SF good and made a valiant effort; I liked it, at any rate, but really, it could have been much better with a branching campaign as tradition dictated. ANYWAY.

I've only played a little of Sin and Punishment but I can say that I liked what I played. Might drag it off the card soon to try to finish it. And I wouldn't worry about the developer; Nintendo and Treasure have been good to each other over the past couple of years, so I expect to hear good things about this. (Though if they're paying attention, I humbly request moar Mischief Makers plz.)

"StarFox Assault wasn't THAT bad."

Yea it was. There were only three levels that were in true StarFox style, but even those ones were incredibly dull compared to just about any level in either StarFox 1 or 64. And the rest of the levels were just a bunch of generic third-person-shooter bullshit, with heavy emphasis on StarFox's notoriously lousy dialog.

I didn't mind Command, I kinda liked the turn-based-strategy angle (I like turn-based strategy), but it was still disappointing in that it *still* wasn't the *real* StarFox 64 follow-up that I had been, and still am, waiting for.

We're totally agreed on "Adventures" though ;)

Have you played the N64 one? Seriously, if they make it anything like that with Wii controls, it has already won.
