Let's hope said stupid people (read: My 6-year-old brother) don't throw balls at TVs. Otherwise the smart people (read: Me) will be punished by the higher-ups (read: My parents).

Too bad evolution no longer weeds out the unfit to survive anymore.

Yeah, well, I've learned to deal with it, both in the home and at school.

On a side note: Some of the people at the school are stupider than my brother. (That says a LOT about what I deal with).

I have soft enough balls to throw at my TV.

I wouldn't throw a feather at my TV.

You gotta remember that the people who would possibly throw a ball at their tv are the same people who shout expletives at you on Xbox Live with little justification behind them.

EA: "We can't imagine it on other consoles, but never say never"
Gaming media: "Boom Blox joins No More Heroes as another franchise jumping Nintendo's sinking ship"

no cody, that's not what it means. he's saying how the publisher (EA) says it's possible for it to go to other consoles, but they don't know how, and that the media will twist their words as saying nintendo is a sinking ship and everyone is bailing.

Gotcha Sly,

Even though you hate me, thank you for the clarification.

I don't really see it performing well on other consoles - until at least Natal hits for Xbox and PC - then it would be a nice launch sort or title.

I'd rather see something like madworld instead of casual minigames coming to 360. We're already going to have too many of those when Natal comes out :\

𝄞 But it's not for my dem-o-gra-phic 𝄞
𝄞 I played Boom Blox, just to try it 𝄞
𝄞 Hope my core gaming friends won't mind it 𝄞
𝄞 It felt so wrong, it felt so right 𝄞
𝄞 Don't mean I'm not core tonight 𝄞

i don't know, if they can make the controls work on other consoles (natal and the PS wands probably won't be out for a while), then i'll try it out.

too bad no one is going to buy it becuase people don't understand how good this game is. The wii crowd doesn't even realize it because they are buying carnival games.

Well the fact that people are buying Carnival Games is probably due to the fact that a lot of people hate carnies telling them to buy their stupid game, and buying it would be the only thing to make the carnies shut up.

amen! lol. Yeah, but seriously, rayman raving rabbids didn't sell on 360, i don't think this will sell on other systems either.

You make a good point, considering that had RRR sold well on 360, we might not have the enormously fun spectacle that is RRR2 today.

(We don't have the 1st or 3rd, only the 2nd)

Boom Blox is closing in on a million, so someone's definitely buying it up

khan, considering the relatively heavy advertising, and how large the wii install base is, those numbers are actually pretty bad.

Well as long as it's not $60 I'd consider it.

It would be. EA sees it as a flagship series.

Having played both of them, I can tell you it's worth $60, but I understand your reluctance. I had a hard time picking up the first one as well.

The latest release wasn't full price, so you never know. I guess they'd find a way to put it on Natal, except I think something tactile like the wiimote or PS3 wand are really more ideal for this.

That said, definitely one of my favorite Wii games, really love this series.

iPhone , DS, PC/Mac are the only other systems it would make sense for. I don't see how dual analog controls would help this game at all.

maybe natal and ps3 wand but as is the game will not sell on the hardcore base on ps3 and 360 owners.

Why would you be "proud" of the fact that your game only works on one console?

Other than buckets of money from Nintendo, Microsoft, or Sony, I don't understand why 3rd parties would make many games for one console.

Ok, well, the Wii's cheap to design for, I guess.

But, yes, Boom Blox on other consoles, please.

Forget The Conduit, House of the Dead and MadWorld - this is the game that all "hardcore" gamers should get for the Wii. It's brilliant.

If it arrives on the ps3 at some point and works just as well I'll probably get it for that too.

Well, it's not really a stretch to see this working on the PS3 right now. Move reticule with analog, hold R2 to lock, make throwing motion and release R2. That seems easy enough.
