Resident Evil, Game On With Wii
oneils writes "Chris Morris of CNN.com outlines some interesting gameplay impressions of Nintendo's Wii. He explains that the new controller works well with first person shooter games like Metroid Prime, but, currently, falls short in the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Morris' impression is that this setback can be rectified by 'optimization.'" From the article: "Imagine holding your TV remote control by its ends and pretending it's a steering wheel. Substitute the Wii controller and you've got an idea of how to control 'Excite Truck'. Driving's pretty easy. The real fun comes when you hit a hill and go sailing into the air. The object is to land with all four wheels on the ground. To do that you'll have to tilt the controller back and forth away from you to stabilize the truck. It's frenetic and fast-paced - and seemed to be everyone's favorite game. I agreed." Several readers also wrote in to mention that Resident Evil will be coming to the Wii. No word on if it's RE5, or a spin-off/remake. Lots of related links below, please Read More. Update: 05/10 20:41 GMT by Z : Joystiq has pictures of a Zapper attachment for the Wiimote.
are really just getting us all ready for Powerglove 2.0!!! Just think, you and a friend don these things, which are motion sensitive and all that just like the Riimote controller... then load up the new version of Super Smash Brothers and proceed to literally PUNCH at each other!
Nintendo must be jewish :
- They excel at making money
- They're very talented in general
- People hate them for odd reasons
Thats not really true, casual gaming brings in a lot of money. My wife recently fell in love with the demo for Bejeweled 2. But its $19.99. WTF? A game that I could program myself in a few weeks is $19.99 (Yes you could make the silly argument about I should then, but 19.99 isn't worth weeks of my time, it might be if I could sell the game, but its copyrighted.. Almost makes one want to pirate it.)
