This is going to get a buncha people shot.

I enjoy the game somewhat even without Diamond or Pearl, but for $50 bucks it seems like this gung-ho purchase was a mistake, at least at this time. The single player is lacking severely, so its all about the multiplayer. I've been meaning to pick up Diamond/Pearl, so I know I'll eventually get my use. But, maybe the reviews were a bit harsh. I think this game was meant to be multiplayer primarily.

I agree partly with otsego.

But, it is probably the pressure the ESRB and the horrible attention they and Rockstar have been receiving from these anti-game activists that has caused this. Is the game really worse than the first one? Even at that, the ESRB shouldn't let these jerks run their business that way. Stand up for yourself. Most of the gaming community supports you.

I really don't get the AO rating that much in the end anyway. Yeah, I understand labeling a very graphic game, but...The age difference is 1 year and you have to be 18 to buy a damn M rated game anyway. Messed up it is.

Shoot, may as well try. I'm in!

Then again, sensing sarcasm has never been my strong point.

Pretty sure its the same color as in Twilight Princess...Minus the shaders though, so its not as shiny.

Didn't see anyone bitch about that.

This is cool though. Wasn't sure if we were going to see her again or not. I wonder if Marth and/or Roy are coming back, or any other FE characters.

Come August 10, my Wii won't be off at all. Hell, its barely off now.

I could admit its saturated with gimmicky games, but then again, its not even a year after launch. Give the thing some time and you get the games we all want.

And its good to see the sales are going well. Maybe more companies will see potential in this thing.

But honestly, we need this control technology with true horsepower. That's when innovation can shine a bit more.

Its pretty obvious the lighting and shadows are far better in the DX10 versions, but the small vids made it hard to see how other things, such as the textures, differ.

Gotta watch the HD versions...

Looking a lot like what the original CC shoulda been; more fluid. It doesn't seem as sluggish anymore, and I like the fact the camera isn't odd. And I hope there is substantial multiplayer, even if its just dungeon crawling with buddies.

And thank God there is no damn chalice to carry...Thank freakin' God...

Like the graphics also.

Well, if I can get concrete and proven technical specs, I could probably get an opinion. So I only base this off things I've seen and mere speculation.

Of course, I think in the end run the Wii probably has the advantage over the XBox. I mean, Galaxy looks better than any(most) XBox game. Really goo in fact (a friend, who is a tech whore, was impressed, if that means anything); diverse shaders, great lighting, high polygon count, good, full effects and nice resolution textures. Supposedly having a gravity physics engine running, I wouldn't be the last to say it shows the Wii is just starting (the physics is from an article I read on Wiki, so I won't say its proven). We haven't seen updated Metroid Prime 3 footage or screens, but its probably getting up there. Then there's the Gundam game. Umbrella Chronicles is looking nice too.

But, a few speculations:

The eDRAM used in the GCN and 360 is probably in the Wii, so there it gets a minor advantage (since NEC did the GPU) and its probably upgraded from the GCN, if it exists. That's a total hypothesis though, but I would suspect its there.

I could say the GCN was more efficient than XBox, as one mentioned it uses the PowerPC architecture and while the XBox was clocked considerably higher, its definitely not as good in working, so a faster, updated version of that is definitely going to help.

The RAM is still 1T-SRAM, right? Its good RAM, but I have no idea if it was made better or faster or if its the same as before...I'll go with more of the same, which isn't bad.

Also notice when you play the games, see how load times barely exist. Going from field to field in Twilight Princess is near-seamless (maybe Metroid Prime 3 won't have doors stalling for loading the next room).

Factor 5 voiced their opinion on their disappointment, and from their comments I gathered the system was definitely capable of great things. And consider this, if a game is made for HD 720 or 1080, think about the resolution. Go to your computer and turn a game from 640x480 to 1600x1200(if you have a supporting monitor) and there is likely to be a far different wattage output and your framerate will alter considerably. But, like the PS3 (in ways), the developers need time to figure out ideas and how to use the Wii Controller, and that could be why we see half-assed ports and the like. I still don't believe the Wii is as capable as the other two, but its not so far behind it can't suffice.
