BBA- Solid game,
challenges are fun, good drinking game, wish it had true online but Wiiconnect works very well, wish it had more challenges though.
Scarface- not a lot of gestures, lot of IR stuff,
good GTA type game, just overall impressed- "really cool", good writing.
RE4- GC visuals,
superior version of RE4, not quite perfect- one quirk in the controls- can't look up and down with the Wiimote- up down left right movement done by analog stick- feels odd- feels like a light gun game.
Dramatic speed difference in shooting compared to GC version because of the controls. Some off the waggle controls aren't needed- wagging the knife is unnecessary. But
overall its the best version. Best looking realistic looking game on Wii
The Bigs- Uses pretty decent Wii waggle, pretty cool bat tracking, exclusive coming up on the Wii version.
Madden- hands on next week.
Ghost squad-
Very much the arcade game with added multiplayer support. Disappointed that its running in 4:3. Easy cash in- fun game, but not a ton added to the Wii version. Bitching about developers not putting in progressive scan and 16:9.
Nintendo changes- Further semi-confirmation of the 3 marketing execs leaving. Speculates that Nintendo is shifting their focus- trying to be more aggressive within the industry. You can tell Matt isn't happy.
DQ:Swords- They played it. It's fun and cool. Mostly just swords stuff. Very simple. Can
upgrade and combine weapons. Leave the towns and enter paths, then you are on set paths but can sometimes choose what way. Basically completely on rails.
Old school- random battles. Sword swiping is cool, there is some strategy to it. Not incredibly deep. Game might be longer than you think-
at least 10 hours, maybe 15 plus. No loading when enemies come. Visuals aren't quite as good as we thought, but
good bloom and little effects, and main character animations are good. Nothing more to it than what you think, but
thinks people will like it. Thinks it will sell well, especially in Japan. Doesn't think it will be released in the U.S anytime soon.
Mercury Meltdown- Fun game, good Wiimote functionality. Will get a solid score. A little shallow, but puzzles will keep you busy.
Explanation of Wii debugger software
New RPG's- some new RPG's on the way. Hinting at sequal to RPG that came out same time as Baten Katos..Matt- "I might as well just tell you. Bozon- keep faith in Crystal Chronicles. It's going to be good.#
NHL EA- No news. Probably not coming until next year if it comes.
3 EA sports games to talk about- FIFA is one of them. 2 others- not sure if they've been announced.
RE4- No GC controller support
For next year- Thinks
Wii Sports 2, Wii Health, Pikmin, and sure there are other surprises.
Re: Hardware announcements- haven't heard anything, but thinks its
likely to have a hard drive and headset announced soon- just logically thinking, no inside info.
FF:CC- Think multiplayer will be downplayed, single player focused likely.
Great multiplayer games- for Wii
BBA is a good multiplayer game, Strikers- Bozon psyched,Battalion Wars will be a great multi player game.
Re:
big developers switching over. Suspects SC 4 to 360/PS3. Big test is Manhunt- if it does well, will show that adult games sell well.
End of show nugget- "
Cool stuff we could tell you about, but then we'd get killed. " Some announcements to make with 3rd parties, but nothing major. Thinks
they're going to get stuff before E3.
Sorry if I missed anything guys
