Joyswag: Metroid Prime Trilogy [update]
Sep 2nd 2009 9:26PM (Joystiq Nintendo)1. Graphics were the best I've seen on any Nintendo Console
2. The control mechanism was unparalleled at the time of its release
3. The game played, on average, for a solid 20 hours. If you spent time collecting objects or doing side missions, such as scanning objects, play-time increases drastically.
4. The musical score was phenomenal. I actually wanted to purchase a couple of the pieces for my iPod! (Especially the intro and Bryyo ones!)
5. The addition of hypermode really added to the overall package of the Prime series. Switching to it came with a cost, but was well worth the energy loss.
The only downside I could ever find against the game was that it lacked a multiplayer component, but other than that it was by far one of the greatest.
Survey proposes Netflix service for Wii
Mar 24th 2009 12:13AM (Joystiq)Maybe the reason they decided to go with the disc is due to hacks and wad sharing over the internet...a disc would be much harder to hack or share over the internet.

Nov 8th 2008 12:33AM (Joystiq Nintendo)I would have to say the Wiimotes and Nunchuks themselves! Several sites have proven that the internal tech of a Wiimote is only worth about $10 to produce, and they sell them for $40? Not to mention, most games require a Nunchuk too, meaning it will end up costing you $180 for 4 full controllers (including the one that comes in the box with the console), which is over half of the cost of the original console itself. Seriously, Nintendo, drop the price of the Wiimote, or make a nice bundle with Wiimote/Nunchuk for less than $60.
However, I am really excited about the MotionPlus, but am not getting my hopes up. We'll see when it releases.
High Voltage working on other Wii projects, promises announcements soon
Nov 4th 2008 8:32PM (Joystiq Nintendo)A little off topic, but does anyone else think that HVS is busy with too many projects right now?

Nov 4th 2008 8:27PM (Joystiq Nintendo)If you haven't played Super Mario Galaxy, you should, because you are definitely missing out on what the Wii is capable of, in terms of graphics, art, audio, and gameplay.

Nov 4th 2008 12:26PM (Joystiq Nintendo)why have their not been any good racing games for the wii, other than mario kart? dont get me wrong, i love mario kart, but i would love some realism, like dirt or gran turismo style games on wii.
with the way the controller works and some good ads, racing games are good hits, cause how many people dont know how to drive (or dont want to know how...if theyre younger than 16)?
