Born for Wii: Beyond Good & Evil

Jul 9th 2008 2:01AM (Joystiq Nintendo)
Great game. It was one of the best, right up there with Eternal Darkness, and Resident evil 4. I'm glad to see that Ubisoft has not forgotten it.

Teen commits suicide, guess what gets the blame

Jun 27th 2008 5:15AM (Joystiq Nintendo)
vidGuy said just about everything I wanted too. But i needed to rant a bit myself. I see a lot of media selling ad spots by sensationalizing buzz topics like video games. But you know what, before it was video games everyone was blaming rock and roll weren't they? And then before that weren't they blaming the radio? And haven't people been blaming TV since it came out.

Lets not mention that the suicide rate among teens is far far higher now then ever. Why? Perhaps because not a goddamn person is taking responsibility. The schools point to parents, parents point to schools and govt, the govt points to the political scape goat of the week and everyone points to drugs, video games, TV, and music. Most certainly that new fangled MTV.

Lets forget the research that shows video games CURB violent, and destructive. They can help alleviate depression. And some psychiatrists have actually found them useful in treating their patients. No no, that makes it too difficult to point those fingers.

It couldest possibly be that all the adults in these kids life, the media, teachers, coaches, church leaders, and parents alike are spending all their time pointing fingers rather then just freaking taking the time to listen to the kids could it? It couldn't be that the kid was so on edge that taking ANYTHING away might have made him do it and his parents needed to sit down and spend some time with him and TALK to him could it!? No. I suppose these people have to be right it's gotta be video games. After all, adults know everything, and this isn't possibly our fault.

Wii releases in Taiwan next month

Jun 27th 2008 3:55AM (Joystiq Nintendo)
Do I think sales will be as bad? What I think is that it is still very hard to find one of these things, at least in my state it is. Nintendo should focus on their primary markets until they can provide the number of Wiis needed to at least almost meet demand! All of my local game stores sell out in about 45 minutes after getting their Wii shipments, and Wall*Mart sells out in less then four hours on a slow day.

Aside from that I think it's a waste of time. Korea and Taiwan have been left out of home consoles for a long time. Their primary video game market consists down-loadable MMO's and the like. If Nintendo wants to get on over there, they had better get with MMO's big time.

All of that is my badly researched opinion. Going into the 2nd year of Wii, and I still cant find one!

Jawa: The Trailer and the Mysterious Battle System

This game looks very boreing. Too boreing, slow, and easy.

Nintendo unhappy about price-fixing ruling

May 21st 2008 12:20AM (Joystiq Nintendo)
This is a good thing in the long run anyway. People in the EU tend to buy less video games then in NA, or Japan due to prices. I think that once these prices start to fall we will a dramatic increase in video game sales. Bad thing though, less Wii's to go around. I still cant find one to buy! :/

Virtually Overlooked: Super Mario Bros. Special

May 15th 2008 12:37AM (Joystiq Nintendo)
Wow...that was a really bad game. Not a very good player either :P My eyes hurt so bad....

Mega Man pays homage to Super Mario Bros.

Too bad the art style looks so bad. So many load screans would drive me insane!

Let's Yoga: Mat recommended

May 6th 2008 8:45PM (Joystiq Nintendo)
I'm very excited about this game. Is this a US release, or is it comming to USA? I want to do Yoga, so if this is a decent enough program I'll get this rather than a book.

New Prince of Persia not coming to a Wii near you

May 6th 2008 7:50PM (Joystiq Nintendo)
Develpers have done well enough makeing a game for PS3, 360, and Wii without resorting to makeing drastically different versions. I really have given up an Ubisofts so called AAA titles. They really are out to give Nintendo the shaft it seems. Assasins Creed would have been a great Wii game, Prince of Person would also work out very well.

Wii got what from Ubi? Raving Rabids? A good game, but yeah. Um...thanks?
