    Looks like a good game (obviously), but yet another clueless decision of wiggle-to-do-something (especially jump) and insistence on a bad auto camera means I'll give this a miss.

    It's like SMG all over again.     Reply -1

    So this game is exactly as I predicted a few months back?

    Fun but easy, short and unnecessary motion gimmicks? Oh, and 7/10. Predicable Nintendo.

    Coin-Op: And Yoshi's Island 2 was a fucking travesty compared to the original. It's what you get when you licence out magical titles to another party. I miss Nintendo of old.     Reply 0

  • Nintendo dismisses rumours of new DS

  • FFS 28/08/2008

    -Some kind of frontend llke the Wii channels, with VC, internet, photos and music. Possibly movie playback.
    -built in rumble and tilt/motion sensing similar to Wario Ware Twisted

    -Tilt sensing (a la iPhone)
    -Better OS with built in web browser and support for mp3s, photos downloads
    -Introduce DS channels like the wii

    Why do people keep saying shit like this? Do that and the DS will turn into a steaming pile of casual ONLY shite like the Wii, except instead of waggle we'll have jiggle 'cos of tilt. Nonononono.

    And who needs a thinner DS? Is it not fucking small enough already? Do you all have pixie hands? The Lite may look better but the phat is more comfortable anyway. It's like the world is obsessed with small ATM. IT'S PLENTY SMALL ANYWAY.

    "DS2 - so small it comes with a microscope so you can enjoy all your games on an even smaller console than before - only 3 atoms wide!"

    I'm not really fussed about graphics. I'd quite happily still have games coming on the N64 TBH. As long as it can do 3D, I'm happy.     Reply 0

    Full backwards compatibility, internal storage with a VC for all games gone before on GB(C)/GBA and link up for multi on said old games too, and for GC. So basically a GBA out port for GB(A)s and GC; but replicating it over wifi for DS2 to DS2 would be win too.

    And analogue control. SM64 DS would have been worth getting over the original if it actually had REAL analogue control.

    I think two touch screens will be an overkill... I mean how many people can usefully use two styli (or should that be styluses) at the same time? The only implementation I can think of would have to be thumb-based...

    /is not great at imaging things like that...

    Yeah, I think it would be more like, being able to touch either screen - not both simultaneously.

    /facepalm

    I don't think it'll happen though. It's selling like hotcakes. Nintendo would have to be moronic to do that.     Reply 0

    To those saying that Zelda needs to not be the same old romp, consider these two hoaxes:

    If this is true and they don't have waggle then I'll be a happy man.

    Perhaps it was the kick-off at E3? It'd be nice to think they listen to fans.     Reply 0

  • No FFXIII 360 for Japan: it's official

  • FFS 27/08/2008

    What a truly odd decision.

    Japan being RPG Land and the Xbox 1 struggling over there (dunno how 360 is doing), this seems bizarre.     Reply 0

  • Samba de Amigo Wii to offer DLC

  • FFS 25/08/2008

    If they make more stuff AFTER - akin to the Splinter Cell levels for Xbox (which were free), then it's justified even if you are paying.

    Selling you a game for full whack and then getting you to unlock the content by paying for it takes the piss. Still, last laugh will be on them if that's the case,a s Homebrew will just unlock it anyway.     Reply 0

    But... will this be actual DLC or will it be a little thing that unlocks stuff that's already on the disc?     Reply 0

    I'd much rather have a fresh platform collect-a-thon than this. If anything BT showed in how many ways a platform game can be improved upon its predecessor. I have been toying weith getting a360. This game was going to swing it. The lack of platform action looks like I probably won't now. Bring back the Rare of old.

    It's a bit like saying that Halo 4/the next Perfect Dark/take your pick wouldn't be a FPS because there are too many!     Reply 0

  • Banjo demo, Stop 'N' Swop detailed

  • FFS 19/08/2008

    Multi-player FTL, unless it's just variations on the single-player mini games like BT. I don't are much for half the content to be playing multiplayer games. Mind you, designing vehicles doesn't appeal much either unless it's to get past a specific environment or something; like say, get a certain wheel to travel across water in it. I'm after a game of exploration and puzzles like the first two, not an open ended createy-thing.

    This game will be the deciding factor on whether I decide to plump for an Xbox 360 or not. Braid and the 2 originals coming to XBLA are helping swing the deal. Don't fuck this up with multi-player focus, Rare!     Reply 0

    Finally maybe another decent Wiiware game!

    Lost Winds is about the only good thing we've had so far, and I wasn't taken massively with it. WW is capable of great new, 16/32 bit style-games. Here's hoping!     Reply 0

    Developers are still finding their feet on the new platform - mostly by experimenting with casual games.

  • Braid for PS3 is a possibility - Blow

  • FFS 12/08/2008

    As for other formats, Blow ruled out the possibility of a WiiWare release. "WiiWare is not going to happen for this game because the model is just not right - like, Braid is too big of a game to be downloadable on WiiWare and stored on someone's Wii," he said.
