Wii Fanboy Review: Battalion Wars 2

Nov 5th 2007 6:10PM (Joystiq Nintendo)
Already finished it, and it's great fun. Definately worth the money!

Possible delay for Harvey Birdman

I didn't want to say fuck, but I'll gladly say fuck you! Is that better?

That was not needed...they should be lobotomized.

Pachter: Halo 3 drove Xbox 360 sales above Wii in September

Oct 16th 2007 2:12PM (Joystiq Nintendo)
Woah, Halo 3 sold some hardware? Imagine that, I wonder if anyone thinks Mario Galaxy will sell hardware? You think maybe this s something new? Popular games selling hardware?

The Wii hasn't had anything major to come to it in a while, but that will change soon. Every system has ups and downs. It's about time the 360 started selling well. I feel sorry for Microsoft though, with all of those systems it will be even more costs to them once they go through the red ring of death.

I'd have picked up a 360 if I didn't have a PC, and/or they really fixed their hardware so it wouldn't die with regularity.

But, good for them. More games for gamers is always good.

Wii Warm Up: Matched set

I never cared for Godzilla games, but love the old Godzilla movies. For the new game on the Wii, they could release a Wii with one side panel having Godzilla, the other side panel with Mecha-Godzilla. Screaming Japanese civilians all around, tanks, explosions, and a crumbling cityscape.

The front panel could have Mothra, pixies, and the light panel on the drive could glow a yellowish-green.

The back panel could have Gimera, Ghidrah, Rodan, and more.

We Built This City on Project O (artwork)

I get a definate Blizzard influence from those images at JeuxFrance.com. I'm not saying they ripped off their style, because they didn't. It just has that same simple style that is a lot harder to pull off that something that is more complex in style.

This game is looking good, hopefully the gameplay can match the killer art style.

Could the Wii get a price drop this holiday?

The Wii is not competing with the PS2. It competes with the 360 and the PS3. Anyone that says it is not next generation is a Sony or Microsoft fanboy that only looks at graphics when buying a game.

Nintendo chose not to worry about graphics in their next generation system. It is more about the controller, and having games on the console that you haven't been able to play before.

I am a PC gamer at heart, but I picked up a Wii. I played it with my brother, and loved the thing. I HATED Nintendo when I was younger, as I was a Sega fanboy. I never played Nintendo games, and never wanted to...to me, at that time, they were stupid. Why were they stupid? Because Nintendo made them...duh!

But, that thinking is childish. I bought a Wii to have fun. The PS3 doesn't look fun and is way too expensive right now. Will it eventually have games? Yeah, that's a no-brainer. Will it eventually be affordable? Yeah, that's a no-brainer.

I thought about a 360, but putting up with red rings of death didn't appeal to me. And, most of the games I see on the system are coming out on the PC, like Bioshock, or Deadlands. I can build a PC myself for a tad more than a 360 Elite, and get access to even more and better games.

The Wii has games coming down the pipe that you can't find anywhere else. Zelda and Metroid looked cool, and I am looking forward to Fire Emblem, FF: Crystal Chronicles, Project O, Zak and Wiki, Smash Brothers, Mario Galaxy, Nights, No More Heroes, Civ: Revolution, Battalion Wars 2, Endless Ocean, etc.

Will all of those games be great? Probably not, and some will suck, some will be good, and some will indeed be deserving of all of they hype they get.

I own a PC, and a Wii...both for different gaming purposes. To me, the Wii is fun. It is a next gen system, with hardcore games. Sure it has kiddie games, and yeah it has party games. But, Nintendo isn't stupid. They are releasing games for their core audience. And, those games look like they will be a blast to play.

Call me a Nintendo fanboy, or whatever...I don't care. I just think that this generation, the Nintendo Wii has games that return us old gamers to the core of this hobby. Games that give you that fuzzy feeling years from now. You may not be able to go back and play them to get that same feeling...but when it's new...it's awesome.
