Famitsu: Cody, Adon, and Guy join Super Street Fighter IV

Yes! Even more incentive to buy this!

Although I'd have appreciated if those three were properly implemented into the story.

Marvelous lost money on most of its Wii releases

Nov 21st 2009 11:36AM (Joystiq)
I'd have to say 3 factors are involved for the sales performance of these games.

- No marketing hype. How many people see these games being mass marketed to the public? While games like Wii sports Resort, Wii Fit Plus, EA Sports Active (And much of Ubisoft's shovelware crap) get the majority of the advertising and marketing, Other (quality) 3rd party titles do not get the attention they deserve. Instead they're just shoved aside and not given a damn as to whether they'll attract consumers or not, since the corporate bigwigs think of em as a kind of 'risk'...

- Even though its been heavily fought, I still feel many of the users who play such games as Marvelous' titles are all doing it via piracy. I've personally seen how much abuse the Wii has taken in terms of piracy, ever since The homebrew Channel surfaced. I don't say that Homebrew is bad. In fact I really love the homebrew scene! But sadly, it also plays host to a lot of software leading to piracy. So I guess a good chunk of gamers think that since the Wii can be so easily softmodded, they don't bother buying the games.

- Lastly, everyone knows who the majority of the demographics comprise of when we look at Wii users. Most of them are such that either want to play games for a quickie or more into those Fitness and simple-play based games. Many of the hardcore gamers felt Nintendo wasn't doing enough initially to satisy their cravings. Other 3rd party publishers followed as well. And now the company is in a mixed state as to how to counter-effect the problem. 2009 though was a great year, in terms of releases of games for the hardcore, hopefully I see that Nintendo strikes a good balance in terms of who to impress and when to impress.

Zelda producer teases surprises for next title at E3 2010

I'm all ready for a bold departure!

Even though Twilight Princess was great, I did feel it was a little 'all too similiar'.

Aonuma-san should also try focusing more on the sound department as well. Like give the game a full blown out orchestral soundtrack (It did wonders for Super Mario Galaxy!). And I wouldn't mind voice-acting as well. (Except don't make it something like Super Mario Sunshine's!)

Xbox 360 release of No More Heroes may be censored in Japan

Nov 21st 2009 10:37AM (Joystiq)
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the Wii version also censored in Japan as well? Where they replaced all the blood with coins??

Phoenix Wright summoned for duty on WiiWare this January

For $10 a game, thats not bad! The good part is, more people will be able to appreciate this gem of a title!

Not for me though, I already got the whole collection for my DS.

But for those who haven't yet played it.....

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR??

---------------------------------------------

Maybe Capcom MIGHT consider releasing the next Ace Attorney game on Wiiware, judging from the response of these titles.

Phoenix Wright judged appropriate for WiiWare re-release in Japan

I can already picture myself, pointing the wii remote towards the TV and yelling:

"OBJECTION!!!"

Famitsu: No More Heroes being ported to PS3 and Xbox 360 [update]

Nov 18th 2009 11:01AM (Joystiq)
What are the chances of this version supporting the PS3 motion controller / Xbox360's Natal?

I have a feeling this game is going to score somewhere around the 7s, unless they rectify some of the problems the original game had, like the open worlds and the sidequests...

Face it, the PS3 / 360's have seen far better open-world games than this one...

Though, I still say that people should give this a try, for its witty dialogues, humour and the story.

I miss the Akuma April Fool joke!

8-bit Left 4 Dead leaves modernity behind

I LOL'ed at the zombie killings!

Modern Warfare: Reflex footage inspires passionate comment

Wii owners should really be pleased that they're not being ripped-off with a half-arsed port of a really great game!

I applaud Treyarch for investing the time to make this a quality title!
