Previamente:

We’d love to bring Sam & Max to the Wii. We already think it’s a good fit (as evidenced by Dan’s comment at PAX). In fact, Heather brought up way back in January how great the Wii controller would be for an adventure game (of course, back then it was called the Revolution… what kind of a dumb name is that?), and we’re great fans of Adventure Gamers’ recent article on the subject. Thing is, us thinking it’s a great idea isn’t enough. We need the guys at Nintendo to agree. And with a company as big as Nintendo, getting noticed by the right people can be tricky.Fonte: http://www.telltalegames.com/blogs/telltale/?permalink=5C476F0230B7702324F4A0CB0331A31F.txt&smm=y

News flash, Friday afternoon: They took notice! We got a phone call from Nintendo this afternoon. We’ll take it from here - please don’t email them anymore!Fonte: http://www.telltalegames.com/community/blogs/id-85

1UP: Is there anything you know of in Culture Shock that has yet to be discovered -- some kind of Easter Egg or bonus that you guys hid away in that game?

DG: I don't think anyone has figured out how to get the octopus hat -- but I don't recommend that people try to, because I'm probably just making that up right now. However, I do have something in mind for a future episode to reward the diligent and the lucky.

1UP: Finally, how's that Wii development kit treating you guys?

DG: We keep it with the octopus hat. But I do think the Wii would be a great platform for our games, don't you?Fonte: http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?cId=3155816

A wii é uma excelente consola para esse tipo de jogos (aventuras), e normalmente estamos a falar de jogos que demoram sempre um bom tempo a passá-los devido aos seus puzzles..

Por acaso já joguei ao sam e max para o pc, e o jogo tem a sua piada, apesar de ser muito curto mesmo! Entretanto acho que já saiu um novo..

Seria bem vindo um Myst ou um Dreamfall!

Gostei de ver nos requerimentos conhecimento da linguagem Lua, que se bem me lembro era a linguagem base da GrimE Engine da Lucas Arts (Grim Fandango e Escape from Monkey Island), e notar que eles estão a planear portar a engine e adaptar a produção de forma a ser cross-platform, bem como implementar "features especificas".

A ver o que sai daqui; a lucas arts é que já voltava a fazer umas aventuras gráficas (ou se não fôr pedir muito, umas re-edições para a virtual console) :)

Esta notícia já é de Junho de 2005 mas não deixa de ser interessante, Donkey Kong na Wii? O Donkey Kong não é da Rare? Ou estou a confundir? Todos os outros jogos desta notícia já foram anúnciados / lançados, só falta mesmo o Donkey Kong.

Donkey Kong joins Revolution, Pokemon MIA
Nintendo's great ape will be back on the next-gen console for more hairy action, but Pikachu and company have yet to be called.

The latest issue of Famitsu reports that Donkey Kong will be among the titles scheduled for release on the upcoming Nintendo Revolution. This is the first news of the cybersimian, spawned in 1981 by Nintendo creative whiz Shigeru Miyamoto, heading for next-gen consoles.
Other games announced at E3 and confirmed by the magazine include new games in the Super Mario, Legend of Zelda, Smash Brothers, and Metroid franchises. Square Enix is also developing a version of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles for the console.

That means three of Nintendo's most popular franchises have been confirmed for release on the Revolution. Super Mario is currently the company's top-selling franchise, with 181.17 million units shipped worldwide to date. Donkey Kong is the company's third best-selling series with 46.51 million units shipped worldwide, and the Legend of Zelda series is its fourth best-selling franchise, with 46.33 million units shipped worldwide thus far.

However, one of Nintendo's second best-selling series, Pokemon, is curiously missing. With a total of 100 million games (http://www.gamespot.com/news/6126710.html) shipped worldwide as of last year, it's difficult to imagine the Revolution will proceed without a game based on the pocket monsters.

Esta notícia já é de Junho de 2005 mas não deixa de ser interessante, Donkey Kong na Wii? O Donkey Kong não é da Rare? Ou estou a confundir? Todos os outros jogos desta notícia já foram anúnciados / lançados, só falta mesmo o Donkey Kong.Donkey Kong foi cedido à rareware em 1994 para o Donkey Kong Country; mas o franchise nasceu com o primeiro jogo da Nintendo, o jogo de Arcade com o mesmo nome (em 1981).

Foi também a primeira personagem e o primeiro jogo criados pelo Shigeru Miyamoto; embora o mario aparecesse, na altura nem tinha nome era o "jump man". :-D

Vem aí pelo menos um donkey kong, o DK: bongo blast (jogo de corridas com bongos); O ultimo DK de plataformas que saiu foi o jungle beat, o primeiro jogo do Nintendo Tokyo Studio e liderado pelo discípulo do miyamoto que fez o Mario Sunshine; esse estúdio está agora encarregue de fazer o Mario Galaxy.

Repost de outra thread mas, achei que merecia menção nesta thread:

Tinham falado do Guitar Hero algures..

Breaking: Guitar Hero comes to the Wii!

That’s right, during Activision’s conference call on Wednesday, CEO Mike Griffith stated that Guitar Hero will be making it’s way to the Wii:

The key difference in our strategy versus the prior cycle, is that in addition to full support on Sony and Microsoft platforms, we will aggressively target the Nintendo platforms consistent with our multi-platform strategy and Nintendo’s expected growth. In fiscal 2008, we will double our offerings on the DS and the Wii, including Spider-Man, Shrek, Transformers, and Guitar Hero.

No other details were given during the 60+ minute conference call. Since the announcement was given by the President of Activision, I think the chances are high for an official press release in the future. If you wish to hear the announcement for yourself, check out the conference call below and skip ahead to around the 28-minute mark.

Rumour: Rockstar Games to Publish GTA5 on Wii

Not a rumour: GTA: Vice City Stories IS coming to PS2.~

SPOnG has heard a bizarre rumour of late that Rockstar (http://news.spong.com/company/1934/Rockstar) may be looking to bring the next iteration of the Grand Theft Auto series – presumably entitled GTA 5 – to Nintendo’s family friendly Wii console.

However, what ISN’T a rumour anymore, and what we all actually knew to be happening anyway, is that the PSP game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories (http://news.spong.com/game/11040955) is coming to the PlayStation 2 sometime very soon, which follows yesterday’s Manhunt 2 announcement (http://news.spong.com/article/11734) from the videogame trendmeisters at Rockstar.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories is set to hit North America on March 6 and Europe on March 9. SPOnG’s just called Rockstar (http://news.spong.com/company/1934/Rockstar) to confirm pricing, so we should have those details for you shortly. Suffice to say, we don’t expect it will be a full price title; most likely it'll be £19.99, if past PSP-to-PS2 ports from R* are anything to go by.

The Rockstar Leeds (http://news.spong.com/company/3736/Rockstar%20Leeds)/Rockstar North (http://news.spong.com/company/3574/Rockstar%20North) developed PS2 port will feature the same storyline and missions found in the PSP original, set two years prior to the original Vice City and starring Vic Vance, the brother of Vice City's Lance Vance.

The ‘hilarious’ Grand Theft 5 on Wii rumour is said to have started ‘somewhere on the internet’ and the source remains both anonymous and unknown. So basically, you can choose to believe it if you really want to. Though if you do, then you are an idiot.

SPOnG put it to a Rockstar (http://news.spong.com/company/1934/Rockstar) rep the other day that we’d heard GTA 5 might be Wii-bound and they responded with what we can only describe as a stifled giggle. Read into that what you will.

Don't forget that GTA4 is due to drop on Xbox 360 (http://news.spong.com/game/11041083) and PS3 (http://news.spong.com/game/11040386) this coming October. Like you really would forget that!

Square-Enix anuncia: "Se Dragon Quest vender bem, Dragon Quest X é do Wii"

O presidente da Square-Enix, Yochi Wada, disse em entrevista que o grande número de DS's no Japão foi essencial para o lançamento de games da franquia Dragon Quest para o portátil da Nintendo.

Mas uma das citações de Yochi foi sobre um novo possível game da série para o Wii. De acordo com o presidente, mesmo Dragon Quest IX sendo exclusivo do DS, ele não será o único console Nintendo a receber um game da série. Ele disse que, se as vendas de Dragon Quest IX forem realmente boas, se Dragon Quest Swords vender uma quantia significativa e o Wii continuar a crescer no mercado, a Nintendo pode ter certeza de que a continuação do game, Dragon Quest X, será lançado para o Wii.

We have more titles coming to Wii than what’s been announced HOWEVER, I must admit, many of them (outside of RE) are not mature titles despite the fact that’s an area Capcom is known for.

By and large, we don’t see the Wii being home to an sizble mature playerbase outside of some of the early adopters. We see it as being very, very broad with a family focus (especially in Japan). If there is a “core player base” on Wii, within two years, it will be largely a younger player (far younger than 360 or PS3).

You’ll see more announcements later this year on this front.

Não concordo com esta "visão" vai contra as faixas etárias que estudos de mercado dão à Nintendo, e até contra as vendas que a Capcom obteve nele, estamos a falar de +/- 1 milhão de unidades para cada um dos Resident Evil's remake e Zero, e 1,5 Milhões (pelo menos) para o RE4; tantas como as da PS2 com um quinto da userbase e tendo em conta que esta foi anunciada antes da versão do cubo sair o que reduziu as vendas com a promessa de extras e afins, também o Killer 7, é um dos casos notáveis onde a versão Gamecube vendeu mais que a versão PS2.

De qualquer maneira... suporte é suporte; e jogos como Okami e Viewtiful Joe não são decerto para "adultos", mas duvido que tenham vendido graças às crianças.

Fight Night na Wii?

Numa entrevista ao site doughouseboxing, Michael Blanked, produtor da série Fight Night, mostrou-se entusiasmado com as potencialidades da Wii.
“...pensamos que podemos fazer algo bem excitante se juntarmos o franchise Fight Night à Wii. Wii Boxing é uma experiência bem simples, e penso que foi desenvolvido apenas para dar a entender que se pode desferir socos (com o Wiimote).”
“Fight Night é uma excelente simulação de pugilismo, assim, apenas temos de agarrar nos comandos da Wii e moldá-los àquilo que os consumidores da série possam querer experimentar. Neste preciso momento, estamos a pensar nisso e tenho a certeza que verão algo na Wii num futuro próximo.”
Uma excelente notícia, pois FN tem tudo e mais alguma coisa para acertar na perfeição no espírito da nova consola Nintendo, especialmente se Get in the Ring – modo na primeira pessoa, criado para a PS3 – não ficar de fora.
Mas atenção... convém recordar que, no que toca a Wii Boxing, a precisão da réplica dos movimentos do jogadores está longe de ser perfeita. Ou seja, a Electronic Arts terá de perder algum tempo nesse departamento, isto se quiser criar aquela que tem todas as condições para vir a ser a mais realista das simulações de pugilismo.

Fonte:
http://gameover.sapo.pt/article.html?id=31616&platform=19

Se este jogo for bem feito vai ser lindo, espero que seja mais complexo e realista, e tão ou mais divertido que o Wii Boxing do Wii Sports.

Pink Cigarette

13-02-2007, 18:54

De facto acho que o Wii Boxing é o menos bem conseguido dos cinco jogos presentes no Wii Sports. Talvez por estes movimentos serem os mais complexos e difíceis de recriar num videojogo. Veremos se a EA estará à altura da ocasião, sinceramente acredito que sim, acredito que se foquem mais nos controlos do que a apresentação do jogo, por isso vamos ter provavelmente um jogo com o nível gráfico da versão Xbox de FN Round 3. Mas desde que seja uma experiência imersiva e tenha controlos naturais e intuitivos, fará certamente parte da minha colecção.

New Tales game to be announced next week

Tales of Destiny 2 is being released on the PSP this week in Japan. Now that Bandai Namco has finished up that project, they are already moving onto their next…another Tales game. No information is known about the title yet, which leaves it up for discussion. Just which platform will the new Tales game be announced for? Funny that we see a survey about the Tales series ealier today, and now we find out that a new one is in the works.

- Tales of Phantasia 2 to DS, 2d gameplay, to be announced on Monday

- Tales of the Abyss remake for Wii, due out May in Japan

- Tales of (the) Harmony heading to Wii, Sequel to Tales of the Abyss, start of Harmony takes place 10 minutes after end of AbyssFonte: http://www.jeux-france.com/news19246_tales-of-sur-wii-et-nintendo-ds-.html

Isto é as melhores noticias possiveis, se fôr verdade :'D ... Team Symphonia foi originalmente criada para fazer jogos da série tales para consolas Nintendo, e Tales of the Abyss foi o unico jogo que a Team Symphonia fez depois do Tales of Symphonia. (os outros "tales of" são feitos pela team destiny)

Abyss originalmente era para a GC, mas depois a namco mudou de rumo, prometeram uma port do Tales of Symphonia para a PS2 com extras e mais FMV's no Japão (nada melhor para matar as vendas da versão inicial)... as duas versões eventualmente empataram, mas por isso mesmo a Namco achou que "estava a dividir a sua userbase" já que as vendas combinadas seriam 750 mil unidades no japão enquanto que um tales normal na altura vendia 650 mil no japão; então Abyss passou a ser jogo de PS2 :'(

A razão pela qual o Tales of Symphonia versão PS2 não saiu do japão é que a localização, incluindo voice-acting e tradução foi feita pela Nintendo, logo a Namco (ou Sony) teriam de a pagar e refazer toda. O jogo não sairia na Europa de outra forma já que normalmente os jogos tales não saiem cá (só saiem em consolas nintendo).

Em termos de vendas... ainda há uns meses depois do lançamento do Tales of Legendia da Team Destiny o Symphonia conseguia vender mais unidades por mês. (Legendia foi um flop) calcula-se que só na América o Symphonia já tenha vendido 600 mil unidades.

Abyss na Wii :'D não peço mais nada... Mas... uma sequela do abyss passada 10 minutos do fim? tavam com pressa eles. :D

Normalmente é 6 meses, 1 ano... 2 anos...

^ O rumor da jeux-france (post acima) do anuncio do Tales of the Abyss e jogos "Tales of" para a Wii acabou por não acontecer, pelo menos directamente. O que a Namco ia anunciar era um "tales of Fandom" (um quiz-show baseado nas personagens do jogo, ignorando universos espaciais e temporais diferentes).

Por outro lado Tales of Fandom Vol. 1 marcou o final dos tales of para a PSone, pelo que isto acaba com o ciclo para a PS2, qual será a consola que vai receber um jogo tales next-gen?

Neste momento a Wii é a unida com um jogo da série em desenvolvimento Sword of Legendia (nome de código) a ser feito pelo mesmo director do Tales of Symphonia, e o nome já dá para fora algo a ver com o Tales of Legendia... O que implica que provavelmente a Team Melfes está a trabalhar na Wii; um Tales of the Abyss quereria dizer que a Team Symphonia também estava ocupada :)

De qualquer maneira... rumores novos:

Sega working on surprise title

Sega has something big in the works, but they aren’t letting on as to what it is. Managing Director Hideki Okamura said that Sega has plans to release a big title that will surprise everyone, and Japan will see it before the end of the year.

NiGHTS Wii? Panzer Dragon? ... Shenmue? :rolleyes:

(shenmue não me cheira mesmo)

Há quem fale que esse franchise é um IP novo de condução:

Exclusive: Sega Driving Studio at Work on New IP

We can reveal that Sega's UK-based Driving Studio has started pre-production on a brand new Sega driving game that is not related to any other Sega title from history. We have no concrete details at time of press, other than as the Development of Sega Rally continues, the team has expanded to cater for a brand-new Sega IP.

It was thought that Driving Studio would concentrate on reworking existing Sega franchises and there was chatter in some circles that a rework of Daytona was on the cards, though seemingly, that isn't the case.Fonte: http://spong.com/article/10150/Exclusive:+Sega+Driving+Studio+at+Work+on+New+IP?c b=993

Midway Q4 Losses Down, Reveals Next-Gen Mortal Kombat Major Chicago-headquartered game publisher and developer Midway Games announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2006, noting lower losses over the previous year coupled with higher overall revenues.

UPDATE: In a call with investors, when asked if the company planned to shift resources to the Wii in the light of recent sales, Midway officials also noted that the publisher had been "bullish" on the Wii since the launch of the console, but that the company had undertaken a "small shift to look more significantly at the Wii going forward," including two yet unannounced titles for the second half of 2007.

Officials noted that the Wii was "growing to a large install base rather quickly," and that the "lower development costs compared to the Xbox 360 and PS3" presented the console as an attractive option.

Something Wicked This Way Comes

There are some potentially crazy-awesome games coming down the pipeline for Wii, by the way. You guys have no idea. I know that's vague -- has to be, but I've seen some stuff that you simply have no idea even exists and frankly, if you did, you'd flip out. Comments like these have a way of backfiring on me and i'm sure some people will be annoyed that I've even brought up, since I'm unable to give even a hint about the projects in question. Others will undoubtedly say that I'm merely making crap up because there's no way anybody can disprove statements that are intentionally so unrevealing. But whatev. I know that if I was in your position, I'd be happy just to know that some very cool, unexpected stuff is brewing somewhere way behind-the-scenes. I swear, when this stuff finally shows up, I'll let you know that I blogged about it way back when. In the meantime, this is probably good material for the IGN Wii message boards.

(...)

I drive back Sunday, pick up Bozon, and then the two of us make the five-hour trek to San Francisco for the Game Developers Conference. Miyamoto's going to be there. Aonuma. Kondo. Suda 51. And a bunch of other Nintendo peeps and third party devs. I'm expecting the full launch of the Wii Game Demo Channel. I don't know if that's what it's called, but it's the original game equivalent to Virtual Console titles. These are new projects developed for Wii, but downloadable. Do I really need to go on? You know what I'm talking about. I also think Nintendo will go seriously aggressive -- big, big, big -- about supporting and encouraging third parties to go crazy making new "garage" style games for Wii. Let's all keep our fingers crossed.Fonte: http://blogs.ign.com/Matt-IGN/2007/02/23/47675/

Bom, cá espero para ver o que vem aí :)

Mas não vou mudar de amigos por causa de discussões sobre jogos!!
Mas acredito que desta vez, e com o sucesso que a wii está a ter, as pessoas vão começar a olhar para a Nintendo com outros olhos.
Por exemplo: na minha turma 2 pessoa têm a wii, eu e outro membro da techzone( Pedro_xbox) e andamos a convencer outras pessoas a comprar, 2 delas está quase confirmado , o problema é o preço, mas encontramos numa loja cá em Viana uma wii usada com 3 jogos(Zelda, wii sports e play com o comando) a 300€.
E faz hoje uma semana que convidei uns amigos para virem cá a casa e todos eles ficaram impressionados com a consola!

EA Developing Wii Rhythm Game
Posted on Feb 25, 2007

Random Nintendo has learned that Electronic Arts is developing an exclusive rhythm game for the Wii. While information is still scarce, we do know that the game will be an entirely new property.

The currently untitled Wii project is under development at EA's Montreal studio. The game, which reportedly has a 1970s vibe, will have players control dancers by moving both the Wii Remote and Nunchuk. While it may sound similar to Konami's Dance Dance Revolution: Hottest Mix, one of the main differences appears to be the lack of a dance pad for EA's game.

This project is the latest in a growing number of Wii titles from EA. Later this week, the company will be releasing SSX Blur, with entries in the Tiger Woods, Medal of Honor, and The Godfather franchises slated to hit the Wii in March. RN will bring you more on EA's new rhythm game when it's officially announced.Fonte: http://randomnintendo.com/?id=1952

Guitar Hero, Wii Music, jogo de musica da EA, DDR a vir da Konami... parece que a Wii se pode vir a destacar neste campo.

Tomonobu Itagaki o chefe da Team Ninja fala de novo de jogos na Wii:
CVG: When you see Wii Mortal Kombat or Ubisoft’s Red Steel, for example, does that give you any incentive to bring a Dead or Alive or Ninja Gaiden game to the Wii?

Itagaki: I haven’t played Mortal Kombat or Red Steel, so I don’t know about those two. However, when I played the Boxing game included in Wii Sports, I thought that it might be interesting to make a fighting game for the Wii.Fonte: http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=158838

Preferia mil vezes um Ninja Gaiden, mas não um port da XBOX por favor.

Ps: Antes que me comam vivo, quero dizer que o Ninja Gaiden para a XBOX é um excelente jogo, dos melhores jogos de pancadaria dos últimos anos, só não o quero ver na Wii porque não quero mais ports, não por não gostar do jogo, mas se o quisesse jogar tinha comprado uma XBOX. Tenho dito.

Possibilidade de um Full Metal Alchemist Wii?

C3: Have you had a chance to work with Nintendo's Wii hardware? If so, what are your thoughts on it? If not, are you eager to work with it?

DD: Yes, I both own one and I am pushing for development on the Nintendo Wii. Like with the Nintendo DS, Nintendo is making good choices in aiming for a more interactive game platform on the Wii. The Nintendo Wii is one of the platforms that fits perfectly with the Fullmetal Alchemist franchise.

C3: Our readers are very eager to know, will we ever see a version of Fullmetal Alchemist on the Wii in the future?

DD: It certainly is a platform that would support many of the anime series' core principles. I personally think a Wii Fullmetal Alchemist game would be a blast, so we'll see where those discussions go in the future.Fonte: http://www.cubed3.com/news/6985/1/Fullmetal_Alchemist_on_Nintendo_Wii,_DS_Game_Discu ssed_&_More

Spielberg Working On Wii Game

During the course of a chat with GameDaily.biz (http://gdc.gamedailyxl.com/2007/03/08/gdc-spielberg-on-wii-exclusive-info/) EA Los Angeles VP and General Manager Neil Young has revealed that at least one of the three projects the Spielberg is working with EA on will be created for the Wii.

"We have things we haven't really talked about but are, uh, they have a broad appeal in their nature," said Young. "I can't really share any game details, but recall our original announcements was for three projects. Well, two of those are underway right now in the studio."

He reveals that project "is something Lou Castle is producing, one of the great producers in this industry, and that's one of the products we're building for the Wii." It's all "very exciting and interesting..." he concludedFonte: http://darkzero.co.uk/v4/games/news/11948/wii-spielberg-working-on-wii-game

... oxalá não seja o ET da Atari para a Virtual console :-D

In a GDC 2007 lecture, Head of Capcom Production Studio 2 Keiji Inafune discussed the troubles in porting some of Capcom's next-gen engines to Wii and if he'd be willing to develop mature titles for the system.

When asked if the engines for Xbox 360's Lost Planet: Extreme Condition and Dead Rising would be used for projects on other platforms, Inafune stated that the engines has been optimized for multiplatform usage, but that they wouldn't work on Wii. Instead, the developer is looking to utilize the Resident Evil 4 engine for some Wii projects.

Inafune mentioned that although there's an industry trend towards photorealism in video games, he's still interested in creating franchises with iconic mascots like Mega Man, and that Wii would be a suitable platform for such titles. According to Inafune, Capcom is planning an announcement in the near future regarding a potential new franchise, though did not state if it will pertain to Wii.

The Wiire asked if titles like mature games like Dead Rising and Lost Planet: Extreme Condition would be suitable for Wii and if Capcom is interested in appealing to the Wii owners who desire mature titles. Inafune said all the next-generation systems will all see their share of mature projects, and that Nintendo's new attitude as of late, different from the one exuded throughout much of GameCube's lifespan, allows a better opportunity to develop mature games on Wii - Resident Evil 4 being a notable example.

Inafune, who joined Capcom 20 years ago, is credited with creating the Mega Man, Dead Rising and Onimusha franchises. He also helped develop Resident Evil 2 and 4, and served as director for Lost Planet: Extreme Condition. He is currently developing an unnamed Wii game.Fonte: http://thewiire.com/news/657/1/Capcom_Studio_Head_Talks_Mature_Titles_Reusing_Eng ines

"Here is one of the latest rumors to come out of GDC:
The real NDA breaking rumor has EA working on a Harry Potter game using the mic in conjunction with gestures to cast spells. Now that's the type of Wii title we're talking about!

Wild Arms Developer Working With Wii
New project from the makers of Sony's big western RPG series.

March 29, 2007 - A new job listing at Japan's E-Career recruiting site makes mention of the start of a new Wii project. And the poster of the job listing? None other than Media Vision (http://www.media-vision.co.jp/), creators of Sony's Wild Arms series.

According to the listing, Media Vision is seeking programmers for both the start of a new Wii project and for general mobile game development. The site doesn't provide any information on the new Wii game, but it does make heavy mention of the developer's success with the Wild Arms series.Fonte: http://wii.ign.com/articles/777/777071p1.html

Media Vision é a Empresa que fez o Wild Arms e desde a sua fundação em 1993 nunca desenvolveu nenhum titulo para plataformas Nintendo, único titulo deles que não foi feito para consolas Playstation foi o Sneakers da Xbox.

NIS America hints at Wii/NDS

During a presentation on NIS America's new RosenQueen Company (http://www.rosenqueen.com/) online store, a company executive strongly hinted that Nippon Ichi is moving into Wii and Nintendo DS development. "I've heard rumors--just rumors!--that NIS is preparing DS and Wii contracts," the exec laughed. The point was further solidified by the multiple Wii and DS accessories the company now sells online.Fonte: http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/46356

A ser verdade (tudo indica que sim)... Temos uma das developers mais fieis da Sony a Nippon Ichi Software (http://www.nisamerica.com/), responsável por jogos como Disgaea e La Pucelle a deixar de ser exclusiva. Desde a sua fundação em 1994 nunca desenvolveram um titulo para uma consola não Sony, como aliás se pode constatar como ao fim de, quase 3 anos de mercado da DS ainda não tinham pedido licença para desenvolver jogos para ela.

As coisas estão a mudar, parece. :)

Samba de Amigo Wii?

Come this Friday, I’ve got intriguing news on a couple SEGA-related developments… for Wii. Think NiGHTS was the only retro-game by SEGA coming back to life? Think again. Come Friday and find out what could be one of the biggest no-brainers in retuning franchises to Wii.

Let’s just say that DK: Bongo Blast probably won’t be the only Wii game you’ll be shaking beats to this year. Source: http://www.rumorreporter.com/?p=226

All Signs Point To Yes: Another Beloved SEGA Franchise Coming To Wii

A lot of people have been paying attention to my blog, which really makes me happy. So, let me initially say that everyone shouldn’t be disappointed about what the following exclusive report contains.

Talking with yet another one of my “Rumor Reporter” sources who has ties close to such a project, I was basically told that NiGHTS isn’t the only old-school release that Wii was going to see. After a short mentioning of “music being in the air,” I quickly had thoughts of the obvious Wii Music title that all gamers were waiting for. Would it be downloadable? Would it be a new Wii channel?

Obviously, that’s not what they meant. This source told me that SEGA is really trying to reinvent things and pushing to get back on track, especially following the bad press on Sonic and the disappointing sales of Virtua Fighter 5. Taking immediate measures, SEGA’s looking at their catalog to see what people want. A game that would be welcomed with open arms.

Does everyone remember the poll that SEGA.com had recently asking gamers which old franchise they’d like to return? I was pointed to this old poll, in which Virtua Cop and NiGHTS (which eventually came true) were some of the franchises listed. And there it was, right next to Streets of Rage on the poll. Samba de Amigo.

The next day, meeting up with the source himself/herself, I mentioned the games. And the possibilities. Referring to the maracas, rhythm-game (which first appeared in the arcades, then the SEGA Dreamcast), I was met with a smile:

“No comment, but that game sure would hit the Wii demographic wouldn’t it?”, my source snickered with a wink.

If you were expecting video or screenshots of the game, which I believe is a totally new game, not a re-make or the old game on the VC, you’re sadly mistaken. But, I’ll leave the topic at hand for now. Besides, this source hasn’t been wrong on two past occasions. As for Virtua Cop and Streets of Rage, I wouldn’t be surprised if they came too. Maybe SEGA’s poll was to prioritize what the gamers wanted most in the first place?

Look forward to it. Samba de Amigo on Wii. There’s no doubt that such a musical game would bolster Wii’s legitimacy in the music-game genre, and re-establish SEGA’s commitment to ultimately pleasing its most loyal fans.Fonte: http://www.rumorreporter.com/?p=227

Novo estúdio, Jet Black Games:

EA Canada Vets Form Nintendo-Focused Studio

EA Canada Vets Form Nintendo-Focused Studio A number of veterans of Electronic Arts Canada have announced the formation of a new development studio named Jet Black Games, which will focus on developing original and licensed intellectual properties for the Nintendo DS and Wii.

The new studio will be based in Vancouver, with employees having experience in five different Need for Speed titles, five different FIFA Soccer games and three separate James Bond titles. Initial games will use the studio’s propriety Jet Black Engine.

The studio has also strategically aligned itself with business management firm Flashman Studios, which specializes in representing developers, intellectual properties and game services companies in the video games industry. Although no specific titles have yet been announced, the alliance with Flashman Studios implies that many of the initial titles will use already established intellectual properties.

“With the launch of our new studio we’ve brought together all the key elements to develop top games: proven experience and talent, the desire to push the creative envelope, commitment to making games we ourselves want to play, and all the resources and support systems needed to perform,” states Roger Freddi, co-founder and CEO of Jet Black.

"Both the Nintendo DS and Wii’s Wi-Fi capabilities provide an advanced medium for Jet Black to bring already popular franchises to an even broader worldwide audience.” Freddi adds, "These recognized licensed properties serve to ensure that Jet Black is a name to affiliate with Nintendo games, and nicely complement the original IP on which we’re working."

Entrevista Jet Black Games:
“I was motivated by Mr. Satoru Iwata’s keynote speech at GDC 2005. While referring to the Nintendo Revolution he said: “just like Nintendo DS, it’s a place where the best ideas – not the biggest budgets – will win.” Clearly, Nintendo was paving the way for smaller independent studios, like our own, to help revitalize the industry. With game team sizes at the time already easily exceeding 100 or even 200 people, it seemed like this might be the last opportunity to work in a smaller, more creative environment… given our company’s values and goals, it was natural that we align ourselves with Nintendo.

“It’s harder to focus on gameplay when you’re building engines and pipelines for four or more platforms, and the overhead associated with the larger studios focused on all platforms means that we’re able to build games for DS and Wii at a lower cost. Nintendo makes it easy for us as developers to engineer our core infrastructures so we can focus most of the hardware lifecycle on what’s most important – the actual gameplay.”

But what is the company looking to do? Jet Black's boss explains: “Our goals at Jet Black Games are threefold. Develop our own original IP, help publishers bring their IP to market, and leverage the already popular IP represented by Flashman Studios.”- Roger FreddiFonte: http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=13598

Monster Madness na Wii?

Entrevista com a Hudson:

NP: Particularly since E3, many publishers and developers have shifted their resources to increase support for the DS and Wii. You’ve already released a couple of Wii titles, and also developed Mario Party 8, which will be published by Nintendo next month, so you’ve clearly been working with the console on multiple projects for quite some time. Does Hudson seem to have more of a focus on Wii than other platforms, or is support spread pretty evenly across the competitors?

Lee: Yes, we have been on board the Wii and DS bandwagon right from the start. We loved these systems because they shifted focus away from the typical gaming experience and introduced new ways of having fun. You’ll see us continue to support both these platforms over the next many years, more than most other platforms. Some of the new games we have in development are pretty darn cool. Wish I could talk about them!Fonte: http://www.nintendoplayers.com/feature.php?featureID=29

Monolith is best known for the Xenosaga trilogy on the Playstation 2 and the Baten Kaitos series on Gamecube.

“A talented team, an exciting work environment, and competitive compensation await those people who are interested in creating cutting edge games on both the PC and all of the new next-generation console platforms.”

Conspiracy's Counter Force

The Entertainment Software Ratings Board's official website has added a previously unknown Wii project to its official release list. The game is called Counter Force, it's being published by Conspiracy Entertainment, and it received an E+10 rating from the ESRB due to "violence," according to the website. The ESRB, which is given access to software prior to its release in order to accurately rate it, has in recent months become notorious for inadvertently lifting the curtain on forthcoming games when it updates its official website's release list.
We placed calls to Conspiracy Entertainment for clarification, but the company did not return our queries in time for publish. Look forward to more on the project as information becomes available.

Espero estar enganado:)É capaz, IGN é aquela base, de algum lado eles foram buscar este rumor, mas pode vir de fontes dubias ou até traduções mal feitas. Ainda agora saiu o One Piece Adventure na Wii, sendo que haviam jogos de pancada One Piece na GC/PS2 (que não eram grande coisa), mas tenho a certeza que esses venderam mais na PS2 que na GC, e seria um engano ridiculo de se fazer.

Naruto... Eles falam de um fighting franchise da GC, mas já saiu um Naruto pra a Wii, depois os Naruto da GC/Wii já são exclusivos, pode ser coincidencia mas o termo third party implica talvez multiplataforma, e vender bem face aos seus congeneres, e Soul Calibur 2 vendeu mais na GC que na Xbox e PS2; a Namco sabe que tem aqui um mercado.

Além de que Naruto só foi um sucesso no Japão, cá fora até que vendeu mas não é um best seller.

Também é verdade que a Namco é potencial interessada em meter o franchise na Wii, afinal o antecessor vendeu bastante bem, não têm uma razão para não nos suportarem; mas como funcionará um Soul Calibur Adventure? :X

A questão é que o que eles dizem é muito vago. O Naruto da GC e Wii neste momento é um fighter. O da Xbox 360 vai ser adventure (feito pela ubisoft) do estilo one piece, dai a minha "duvida" entre esses 2 títulos. Se não estou em erro, os Naruto gnt na América venderam razoavelmente bem( longe do Soul Calibur II) mas no Japão foi ao contrario, vendeu melhor o/os Narutos que o Soul Calibur. Mas também digo que já ficava contente com qualquer um destes 2 jogos, desde que bem aproveitados:x2:

Rumor
Lego Star Wars Heading To Wii (http://kotaku.com/gaming/ring-the-till/rumour-lego-star-wars-heading-to-wii-257954.php)

Codename Revolution are claiming to have seen a distributor's list that shows a Lego (http://kotaku.com/gaming/lego/) Star Wars (http://kotaku.com/gaming/star-wars/) compilation coming to the Wii (http://kotaku.com/gaming/wii/). Called Lego Star Wars (http://kotaku.com/gaming/lego-star-wars/): The Complete Saga, it should be arriving in time for Christmas, no doubt bundled with all kinds of added waggling and thrusting.

será que vem um port da versão xbox360? não é como se Lego star wars necessitasse um sistema muito forte :PHmmm... Para quê portar se existem builds Gamecube que correrão nativamente no hardware Wii?

A diferença nem será grande dado que como dizes Lego Star Wars nem é muito intensivo, e foi feito com o minimo denominador comum da PS2; claro que se fizerem uns upgrades eu agradeço (um modo 16:9 que não sei se o original tinha, por exemplo), podem importar algumas features da versão X360 (melhores texturas, se fôr o caso) e meter uns shaders extra no jogo, mas portar a engine em si de outra arquitectura seria contra-producente (quando esse trabalho tecnicamente já foi feito).

A música de System of a Down está engraçada. Lembro-me de a ouvir pela primeira vez há uns anos quando comprei um bootleg da banda com B-sides e raridades. Creio que faça parte da banda sonora da série televisiva com a licença de Zelda. Curiosamente na altura pensei que a tivessem feito apenas por serem fãs da série. A montagem está gira, mas evita os comentários do tipo "Wii abafa PS3", caso contrário a thread descamba, tenta dizê-lo de forma mais subtil. ;)

Mas continuo a achar que deveria receber shaders e um monte de extrasPode recebê-los, mas ainda assim, não sei se shaders escritos para shader model x.x (Xbox e Xbox 360) serão compliant com a Wii, não o eram com a GC pelo que teriam de ser re-escritos para a TEV pipeline, unica duvida é se o serão com a shader unit que segundo as patentes foi adicionada às TEV pipelines; se é uma Shader Unit compativel com as das graficas caseiras.

Basicamente... copy/paste de código de shader programado para outra arquitectura gráfica pode não ser possivel, tendo de ser re-escrito. A boa noticia é que programar shaders desta forma não é mais dificil por isso.A música de System of a Down está engraçada.A musica não é dos SoaD, é dos Rabbit Joint, mas alguém se lembrou de renomear o ficheiro para System of a Down num sistema de partilha de ficheiros pela net... e nunca mais despegou.

An EW.com interview with Director and GM of Nintendo EAD Shigeru Miyamoto has some interesting tidbits on his feelings about outsourcing key Nintendo franchises, as Nintendo has been doing quite a bit in the past several years, as well as the lackluster performance of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (which series head Eiji Aonuma told GDC crowds was created for American audiences (http://www.n-sider.com/newsview.php?type=story&storyid=2673)) in Japan. Here are a few choice quotes:

I could make Halo. It's not that I couldn't design that game. It's just that I choose not to. One thing about my game design is that I never try to look for what people want and then try to make that game design. I always try to create new experiences that are fun to play... When I show a game to people I don't ask their opinion or give them a survey. I just watch their eyes and their face while they play. Do they smile? Do they look frustrated? So I guess I do test my games—but it isn't very scientific.
- Shigeru Miyamoto

In the past we've worked with some outside development houses on titles like F-Zero and Starfox—and let me just say that we were disappointed with the results. Consumers got very excited about the idea of those games, but the games themselves did not deliver.
- Shigeru Miyamoto

...Zelda: Twilight Princess is not doing very well at all in Japan. It is very disappointing... I think a lot of people who bought the Wii [in Japan] are not necessarily the types of people who are interested in playing that kind of game. And a lot of the people who would want to play it can't find a Wii! But mostly, I think it's that there are fewer and fewer people who are interested in playing a big role-playing game like Zelda.
- Shigeru Miyamoto

Não gostei muito da parte acerca do zelda, mas espero que ele continue a fazer zeldas como sempre os fez ou até melhor talvez consiga juntar o devertimento de que ele tanto gosta com "big role-playing" assim ficavamos todos satisfeitos, um casual gamer poderia jogar o jogo de vez em quando, mas de uma forma divertida, sempre seguindo a historia principal como se fosse lendo um livro capitulo a capitulo.

já que ele n gostou mt de star fox e f-zero talvez ele proprio os faça e isso seria mt bom para os pussuidores da wii.

já que ele n gostou mt de star fox e f-zero talvez ele proprio os faça e isso seria mt bom para os pussuidores da wii.Ele está a referir-se ao mercado Japonês; Zelda não é popular por lá, nada comparável a Final Fantasy, como no resto do mundo.

Zelda TP já vai nos 3,5 milhões numa escala mundial, o que quer dizer que foi vendido com cerca de metade das wii's vendidas até agora (e a versão GC vai nos 1,8 milhões mundiais); mas no Japão só vendeu umas 400 mil unidades. O que é fraco para um franchise deste calibre.

O mesmo diz respeito ao F-Zero e Starfox, acho que a desilusão a que ele se refere são as vendas, para o mercado Japonês. Starfox bem que podem mandar a Namco às couves, mas F-Zero gostava de ver uma sequela do GX feita pela Sega/Amusement Vision.

Quanto ao mercado de RPG's... não há questão que ele tem vindo a encolher, e um franchise novo não consegue fazer o splash devido, Final Fantasy XII pode vender 2 milhões na América, mas ao lado está o Valkyrie Profile da PS2 que vendeu 80 mil cópias, e o Tales of the Abyss da Namco que vendeu 50 mil... e muitos RPG's nem ultrapassam as 30 mil cópias na América.

No Japão tudo o que é RPG que não seja FF, DQ e KH também não está a vender por aí além, os tales baixaram de vendas médias de 800/650 mil cópias para umas 350 mil... e jogos como Xenosaga, Baten Kaitos e outros não deixaram de ser flops lá por isso.

Não estão interessados nisso.A verdade é que Zelda nunca teve a popularidade no Japão que tem o Final Fantasy, e tem vindo a decrescer, já o Zelda Wind Waker não foi famoso por aquelas bandas, apesar do aspecto gráfico ser tipicamente Japonês.

450 mil unidades não é nada mau, já é mais que muitos RPG's japoneses, não lhe garante é um seguimento por aí além.

RPG's vendem na DS que nem ginjas, e se os lançarem na Wii também acredito que o façam... Mas mesmo o Zelda da DS... não me cheira que venda por aí além no Japão.

Há jogadores casual, claro, mas acho que neste caso é mesmo o Zelda TP que "não pegou".

Em termos de preferencia minha ficou empatado com outros titulos da série mas valeu definitivamente cada minuto que esperei por ele.

Ser feito para o publico americano... É certo que esse publico é o que pede mais um Zelda com vertente épica, que eu também prefiro... Mas para mim o que define um Zelda é mesmo vir da equipa que vem. Tanto abraço um Zelda menor como um épico, cell shaded ou realista... Mas acredito que a maior condicionante para seguir este caminho com o TP foi a história que se queria contar.

Zelda podia vender muito mais no Japão, mas não vende, mais do que não ser um produto para eles acho que é uma questão de estatuto. Final Fantasy por sua vez até podia ser uma nova versão do tetris com personagens FF que vendia quye nem queijinhos na mesma.

Imagino algo entre um Onimusha e The Legend of Zelda. Uma aventura épica à imagem do clássico da Nintendo, mas com mais acção e menos puzzles, ao estilo da série da Capcom. Claro que um Beat'em up na linha dos anteriores seria também muito bem vindo, mas talvez seja bom para a série alargar os horizontes.

Latest Instalment in #1 Best-Selling Action Sports Franchise Redefines Skateboarding Genre with Unprecedented Freedom and Control
Sydney, Australia – May 15, 2007 – This spring gamers will be able to command their skating destiny in Tony Hawk’s Proving Ground from Activision, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI). For the first time, players will have the freedom to define their character, story and style based on the choices they make, the paths they choose and the style of skating they use on the proving grounds from Philadelphia and Baltimore to Washington, D.C.
Tony Hawk’s Proving Ground features deeper customization than ever before, including a Video Editor with full-featured editing tools and visual effects for creating “epic skate videos,” and a fully customizable online Skate Lounge where players can skate with friends in the ultimate pad. In addition, players will have the freedom to skate from single player to online seamlessly, as well as utilize new gameplay mechanics such as skateable terrain altering and building, and Bowl Carving, delivering the most empowered skating experience ever. Tony Hawk’s Proving Ground also features even more Nail the Trick™ moves such as Nail the Grab and Nail the Manual intensifying the thrill of pulling off big tricks.
“Tony Hawk’s Proving Ground drops players into the skateboarding world like never before,” said Joel Jewett, president of Neversoft. “This is the largest, deepest and most compelling Tony Hawk game ever. You can skate the best lines, define your own style and produce your own videos. You can even take it further by tricking out your own Skate Lounge, where you can hang out and skate with others online. Proving Ground will throw you so deep into the lifestyle of skateboarding that you won’t be able to get out. Hands down, it’s the most exciting Tony Hawk title yet.”
Tony Hawk’s Proving Ground is in development by Neversoft for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PLAYSTATION 3 computer entertainment system, Wii home video game system, PlayStation2 computer entertainment system, and Nintendo DS. The game is not yet rated by the OFLC and is scheduled for release later this year.

Os rochedos e cenário terreo têm muito o mesmo aspecto com texturas em tile sem variancia, isto seria completamente resolvido "à lá Zelda" ao meter uma camada por cima para simular a propagação da luz e conserindo-lhe luminusidade oscilante menos estática.

Mas o jogo ainda nem está acabado, se fôr bom... o melhor vai ser mesmo o gameplay :D Espero que calibrem muito bem a coisa.

You’ve already released a couple of Wii titles, and also developed Mario Party 8, which will be published by Nintendo next month, so you’ve clearly been working with the console on multiple projects for quite some time. Does Hudson seem to have more of a focus on Wii than other platforms, or is support spread pretty evenly across the competitors?
Lee: Yes, we have been on board the Wii and DS bandwagon right from the start. We loved these systems because they shifted focus away from the typical gaming experience and introduced new ways of having fun.

Hmm... 6 titulos para a Wii?

Só conheçemos 4... Zack and Wiki/Treasure Hunter Z, Resident Evil 4 Wii, Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles e Devil Kings 2.

Além de que se anunciaram hoje podem já não estar a contar com o RE4 Wii estar em desenvolvimento já que está gold a julgar pela Famitsu ter feito uma review completa da versão final japonesa.

Ou seja... temos 2 a 3 jogos que não sabemos e já estão a ser feitos, e intenções da Capcom de começar imediatamente a fazer mais.

Também é estranho que coincida "logo" com o dia em que a review saiu; é que se aquela equipa acabou o desenvolvimento... estão livres... e são uma equipa que acaba por já estar treinada com o hardware.

Para quem não sabe, a equipa que tratou do RE4 Wii... é a equipa do Onimusha; não me admirava nada se tivesse sido decidido/dado luz verde muito recentemente, Onimusha para a Wii.

Dos outros títulos em desenvolvimento... O que eu não me babava se um deles fosse uma port ou sequela do Okami.

During the course of the conversation, a multitude of topics were touched upon, from Konami's ramped-up support of the Nintendo and the Wii, to whether Elebits creator Shingo Mukaitoge is being groomed as a new face for the firm - read on for the answers.

Konami is having a lot of Wii and Nintendo console support right now, moreso than big-budget stuff. What is the rationale behind that?

Marc Franklin: Konami has always been a strong supporter of Nintendo platforms. We were one of the first companies to come out with original titles on the DS, we were a supporter of the GameCube, and made lots of titles for the GBA.

The Wii, I think, embraces a lot of the innovation and creativity that Konami is known for, and provides an amazing outlet for our developers to design incredible games. You're seeing games like the next generation of DDR come out on the Wii -- called Dance Dance Revolution: Hottest Party -- to provide full-body immersion in a dance game.

We also partnered with Hudson recently to do some Wii games like Wing Island, and Marblemania, which is doing well. The Wii platform in and of itself echoes and provides really great creativity for Konami developers.

In the U.S., it seems like developer names are getting more and more important. Is Shingo Mukaitoge someone you guys are grooming as a new face for Konami?

MF: Konami certainly has many world-class developers, and we don't single out anyone in particular. With that said, Mukaitoge-san is certainly a rising star. He's improved himself with Elebits, which many people believe was one of the most innovative games that came out for the Wii.

He then announced a new game called Dewy's Adventure, and that is a very promising title. It looks extremely good. In fact, many of the press, when they first saw the gameplay, thought it looked like a first-party title. I think there is a lot of talent with Mukaitoge-san, and we're all looking forward to what he's going to be able to produce.

Do you feel that Nintendo has properly marketed the Wii to expand its demographic?

MF: They did a great presentation. I think they hit the nail on the head. The industry, overall, if you look at the publishers, is really starting to take a better look at the mass consumer, because that's where we're going to get our growth.

Nintendo did a really great job with their marketing campaign with the Wii, and you're seeing other people do that too. They're not avoiding the core consumer, but they're also thinking about how to get to the mass consumer in innovative ways that make sense to them, whether it's through social networking or speaking to the consumer in ways that they identify with.

Do you think that the Wii's success is sustainable?

MF: You just need to look at the sales so far. It's done extremely well, and it's a great machine. So is the 360, and so is the PS3. They all have their own positioning. It goes back to the publisher, though. It matters how we create the best games possible for those systems that fulfill the needs of our fans and consumers, but that also help promote the industry and push video game sales and hardware sales forward.Fonte: http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=14088

Entrevista da THQ:

You are betting big on the Wii. But historically, independent game publishers haven't done very well on Nintendo platforms. Right now we are yet to see an independent publisher game for the Wii break into the top 10 NPD game charts. Could your confidence in Nintendo be misplaced?

Farrell: THQ, as far as I can remember, has been the No. 1 third party on Nintendo. It is not uncommon for first parties like Nintendo to be very strong out of the gate. They invented the technology and can be ahead of others. But we think our demographic maps very well to theirs.

Nintendo has always been very strong with the slightly younger gamer. Our mass-market brands like WWE [WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008] , and kids titles like the Pixar games work very well on the Wii.

So, a year or two from now, you will have a THQ Wii game on the charts. I guarantee you WWE, which we ship in November, will be in the top ten. WWE is a game made for the Wii. Can you imagine the throwing and grappling with the Wii controller for that game? It's going to be a lot of fun.Fonte: http://www.thestreet.com/_googlen/newsanalysis/techgames/10359065_2.html
