Everyone is raving about this game and as soon as the olympics are over I'm all over it!! But this trailer is AWESOME, music, well cut, everything!
Joker Confirmed - DV VS MK
He's finally been confirmed!! I don't really give a damn about anyone else but being able to use Joker and laying the smack down on Batman and other super heros, apparently as DC villans are villans they will have fatalities. Hrmmm so will Joker be able to perform the killing joke and slaughter Superman?? I wonder how that will be explained in the DC universe ?
Wii Sword Play - Kotaku Impressions
Came across this here at Kotaku. E-I-C Brian Crencente seems to have some fencing experience, perhaps in Uni or highschool or something and his first impressions with Wii Sword Play is that its incredible sensitive and picked up on several nuances of motion control. If great reviews like this keep coming out I'm definately picking up Wii Motion Plus and Wii Sports Resort on launch!
Wii Motion Plus - Mixed reviews
Came across 2 hardware previews here at Gizmodo and here at Engadget. It seems the over arching feeling with Wii motion plus is, ummm isn't this the way Wii was originally advertised? BUT if you really think about it, they've always said gestures, and if you think back to your first bunch of wii experiences you probably still had fun, if not bored very quickly. The other thing is that Nintendo like Apple tends to hook us on concepts, then gimp us on hardware, both these companies essentially are hardware companies that keep making incremental improvements to a platform that we all feel compelled to purchase. Looking at the original NES you can see how many different pads and controllers came out and you realize, this is just the Nintendo way.
iPhone as a gaming console?
Came across this here at Gizmodo, apparently the iPhone is more powerful than a NDS, and comparable to the PSP, however there is no decent control input, no D pad, no buttons, no shoulderbuttons.
If you've played the emulators on the iPhone installer then you would know, iPhone touch screen only games just don't control properly. Maybe they need to use tilt to control for motion and 1 or 2 buttons on screen, but unless there is some clip on control pad, iPhone isn't that viable as a gaming console.
Bushido Blade Wii - That would be an awesome idea
Was listening to the Giantbomb podcast and Jeff predicted a game that I would love and I can't believe that I didn't think of immediately, BUSHIDO BLADE for WII. The number of hours I played that game with a group of friends is almost ridiculous. But I don't think the blood and gore would get past Nintendo, or maybe we'd be forced to use Mii's and lop off Mii heads! GO WII MOTION PLUS!
Wii Motion Plus - Wish list
Even though the Wii Motion Plus was announced in a press release prior to e3, I find myself drawn to it more and more. Perhaps its the total lack of new content announced this year at e3 but after seeing it demoed in the Nintendo Press Conference it looks REAL strong but knowing Nintendo they're going to pull out some dick shit after this thing is released here are my predictions and my hopes:
Predictions
1) Original Wii controller will eventually be phased out to incorporate the technology inside the add on.
2) Nunchuck which is now rather gimpy will get a version 2.0, unless the Wii motion plus somehow effects the nunchuck as well. The Nunchuck 2.0 probably get announced at next e3 along with complete controller redesign mentioned in 1 which will extend the by then ancient hardware of the Wii's lifespan even further.
3) Fully upgraded Wii controller inclusive of Wii Motion Plus and Nunchuck 2.0 will be compatible with next Nintendo system.
Hopes
1) Battery life doesn't suck
2) Generates more 3rd party games that are worth playing despite Wii's appalling graphics
3) I win the lottery and just have more damn time to play the machine.
