Metroid: Other M - review

Tags: RMC by News [edit]

A portion of a VFH review…

…if you’re a die-hard Metroid fan like myself, and want to collect all the games, then you will not regret buying it. If not, then Other M is definitely worth a rent; you’ll probably end up liking the game much more than I did because you won’t be judging it against the other Metroid games.

Nintendo needs more info before they refute Apple’s claims

Tags: DS [edit]

Remember a few days back when Apple made this statement? Were they talk about hardware or software? What exactly were they combining to get this information? We don’t know, and Nintendo doesn’t know either. That’s why they aren’t commenting.

“It is impossible for us to comment until it is made clear which products and time periods are being referenced, what the specific data is and the source for that data.” - Nintendo of America statement

Will Apple clarify their statement and show us how they came to this conclusion? I seriously doubt it, but I hope I’m wrong.

A portion of an NWR review…

AquaSpace’s biggest selling point was the ability to swim with your Mii character, and it is a shame that that part turned out to be such a disappointment. For just 100 Wii Points less, My Aquarium is a much more enjoyable fish tank simulator. If Paon and Nintendo had managed to work out the problems surrounding the Mii mode, it would have been a little easier to recommend AquaSpace, but in its current state, it is pretty hard to do so.

A portion of an MTV review…

“Ivy the Kiwi?” tries to do a lot of things to stand apart from its action puzzle brethren, and, for the most part, it succeeds. The game’s simple pointer-based mechanics kept making me think that this title would make a perfect iPhone game, but it’s fleshed out enough to be a worthy budget Wii title. As long as you don’t go into the game looking for a really deep experience, “Ivy the Kiwi?” will offer a fun experience, along with a lot of replay in a beautiful setting.

High Voltage - Conduit 2 features single ending, no Kevin Sorbo, post-launch online updates, and 3DS sequel talk
» ‎ Go Nintendo Wii News

Tags: 3ds [edit]

A portion of a Nintendojo interview with High Voltage’s Keith Hladik…

ND: Since there will be multiple paths and strategies to get through single-player levels, will there be multiple endings to the story as well?

Keith: We’re striving for one wiz-bang ending for Conduit 2 that will propel the story to new heights. The conclusion of The Conduit definitely left it open-ended (and was a bit abrupt) — we have a much more satisfying ending to Conduit 2.

ND: Will Kevin Sorbo be back?

Keith: Due to the scheduling requirements for the sequel, Mr. Sorbo will not be returning as Prometheus. Fortunately, we were still able to secure top-notch talent.

ND: Will High Voltage Software be able to patch online problems with the sequel?

Keith: We are supporting online updates in Conduit 2. Continuing to support the title post-launch is something that we feel very strongly about, and this was at the top of our feature list for the title.

ND: Since The Grinder went multiplatform, any chance we’ll see the Conduit franchise do the same? What about Conduit on 3DS?

Keith: We’re committed to the Wii for Conduit 2. We like the platform and we like the controls. Our main focus at this point is delivering a kick-ass sequel. Where we go beyond that is still something to be figured out — we like what we’ve created in the series and would love to continue telling more stories in the Conduit universe. In regards to the 3DS, I was absolutely blown away by it at E3. It’s something special and I know that there is a lot of interest in it here at the company. We’ll see what happens.

999: 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors director talks game inspiration, hope for 3DS sequel
» ‎ Go Nintendo Wii News

Tags: 3ds [edit]

A portion of a Siliconera interview with director, Kotaro Uchikoshi…

S: What inspired the story of 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors?

Kotaro Uchikoshi, Director: I think that’s a great question! Reason being, my inspiration came from exactly that, the question:

“Where do mankind’s inspirations come from?” That question alone was the root inspiration to this title. It all started from there and I started to read up on all sorts of documents. That’s when I came across an English biochemist named Rupert Sheldrake and I found out about his theory on the “Morphogenetic Field”.

“Why did glycerin start crystallizing all of a sudden?”, “When you make rats clear a maze, why is that with each new generation, the clear time gets shorter?”, “Why is it that as more people know an answer to a specific question, the chance of people knowing the answer goes up?” “Why is it when you were talking about a friend, you happen to get a phone call from that exact friend?”, “Why is it that if you’re at a café talking about Paris Hilton, the person next to you happened to be talking about her as well?”… Rupert Sheldrake’s theory gives us hints in order to answer these phenomena and this theme became the main theme behind 999.

S: Does Chunsoft have any plans with the Nintendo 3DS? Perhaps, a sequel to 999?

KU: We’d like to say “no comment” for now, but we’re thinking if we see that enough players in the U.S. enjoyed our title, there’s plenty of room to consider sequels.

EA’s Peter Moore - First step to fixing old EA was admitting that they were wrong
» ‎ Go Nintendo Wii News

Tags: RMC by News [edit]

“When I first came here we set upon a mission to improve our brand image. There were a number of things we knew we needed to do. We needed to be a lot more open, forthright and communicative at the development level. Not the marketing level, where we do that very well, in fact as well if not better than anybody else in the industry, but allowing our developers to be able to speak openly and sometimes saying things maybe PR feels uncomfortable with, but we got over that. EA had not transformed into a community-based company. There were guidelines saying what you couldn’t do, and you weren’t media trained. Those days are behind us. When you look at our community boards, we have people now who deal with them as their full-time jobs. Just recently on Madden we had an issue with the control mechanism. We decided we’d listen to the community and we’re going to fix it, we’re going to patch it. Last year with Fight Night we did the same thing. You’ve got to swallow your pride, and say, ‘We thought this was the right thing to do. But it isn’t, so we’re going to give you the ability to play it this way.’ You just react. It’s no longer you ship the game out then move on to the next year.” - EA’s Peter Moore

Sakamoto on Metroid: Other M, the birth of Samus, WarioWare on 3DS, future Metroid installments and more
» ‎ Go Nintendo Wii News

Tags: 3ds [edit]

- “Samus being a woman wasn’t really decided from the beginning. She had no sex at that moment. Someone said it could be a surprise for the player to discover Samus was a woman at the end of the adventure. In some way, I was going to ‘have a girl’ completely by chance”
- (On NES Metroid gameplay system creation) “These things are new to people. We were asked to make a videogame with a completely unseen game system. We came up with a pretty complicated / complex game, and without considering the development status, someone had already decided the launch date. Date was close and Metroid was totally unplayable. There was a ‘crisis meeting’ where we discussed how to solve it without losing what we already had in the game. That decision brought the Metroid system to life, with the maze structure, the color doors, the secrets and abilities to gain new access, etc”
- “I’m very proud and satisfied with Metroid Other M. It’s what I wanted to do. It’s different to Super Metroid, I don’t think any of them could surpass the other”
- “People would determine if this is the new way for the franchise. We are not the ones who have to tell them what the trend to follow is, but them to us.”
- “We don’t have plans on any new 2D Metroid, but if the opportunity comes or an interesting idea appears, it could be fun and I’d like to work on that style again”.
- “I’ve been pretty busy with Other M so I don’t have deeply detailed info on the Nintendo 3DS capabilities yet. I cannot give any future details”.
- “I’m very proud of the 1st-3rd person system. I know some people ask why we didn’t include movement in first person. It’s soon to see if we were right (people have yet to play), but those reactions will be important. When you change to that view, it’s more difficult to recognize your position on the map, and I didn’t want to complicate that and keep the 2D essence”
- “With WarioWare you have to take full advantage of the new hardware, but it also has a pretty strong personality. I should think about that new WarioWare that probably would have to come for the Nintendo 3DS and try to add some freshness to the series without losing its personality”
- a new Metroid plot would follow Metroid Fusion in the timeline
- (on programming over art) “please forgive me, but I’m horrible at drawing, Indeed, I’m much better at programming! I’m so bad that nobody understands my storyboards when we’re making a game!”

Inafune teases future work, still down on Japan, talks fighting genre and Darkstalkers possible return
» ‎ Go Nintendo Wii News

Tags: RMC by News [edit]

A portion of a Eurogamer interview with Keiji Inafune…

Eurogamer: What will you work on next?

Keiji Inafune: I’m already working on numerous titles. So watch this space for announcements. I will carry on creating new titles.

Eurogamer: You’ve been outspoken in your views about the Japanese games industry in the last year or so. Now this year’s E3 and gamescom are over, do you still feel as sceptical about the industry as you were last year?

Keiji Inafune: I still stand by my comment I made last year. I haven’t seen any change whatsoever in Japan. Therefore I’m very pessimistic about the games industry in Japan. The Japanese game creators have to admit we’re behind the Western games at this moment and try to be humble and learn why. Otherwise, we’re not going to be able to start all over again.

Eurogamer: Finally, at gamescom Yoshinori Ono told me that you told him it would take a million requests before you’ll say yes to a new Darkstalkers game.

Keiji Inafune: We’re asked this question quite a bit. Ono-san understands lots of people are waiting for Darkstalkers. However, the difficulty about fighting games is we had a boom and it went down. So most of the developers went out of the business or moved on to some other types of games.

Apparently creating a fighting game is not so easy. You really need the talent and skill and balancing ability to sort the games out. So at the moment there aren’t the resources to create another fighting game. However, I recommend you ask the same question again and again and again whenever you meet Ono-san.

Europe - Wii RPG fans set to level up as Eldar Saga release date announced
» ‎ Go Nintendo Wii News

Tags: RMC by News [edit]

Friday 3rd September 2010: Continuing a bumper year of releases, Rising Star Games has confirmed Eldar Saga’s 2010 release date as 17th September. The game will fill a niche in the current games climate by appealing to Wii owners who are interested in the RPG format.

Gameplay in Eldar Saga kicks off in character creation mode, with five basic classes and numerous advanced classes, skills, weapons and equipment to choose from. Split into two chapters, gamers start as a man and later take on the role of a female.

The first chapter sees gamers charged with retrieving fragments from a meteorite that released hordes of monsters on the land, wreaking havoc. The second chapter takes place 100 years later when the monsters are close to taking over the world. Playing as a descendant of the hero of the first chapter, gamers join an army intent on destroying the monsters.

Battles take place in real time and gamers can quest together via the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection for co-op gameplay at anytime they wish. Jobs also play a big part in the Eldar Saga with the flexible levelling up system allowing the gamer to focus on strengths and weaknesses as they see fit.

“The RPG genre is one of the least represented the Wii and we’re confident Eldar Saga successfully fills a gap in this market, bringing classic story-driven gameplay,” says Martin Defries, managing director, Rising Star Games. “Developer Marvelous Entertainment is renowned for creating immersive gameplay and Eldar Saga is no exception.”

Eldar Saga will be released on 17th September 2010 on the Wii courtesy of Rising Star Games.

There are few games I would call indie darlings, this would be one of them. This first retail game by the developer hits nearly everything they were trying to do perfectly. It brings a completely new twist (pardon the pun) to the platform genre, mixes it with a beautifully unique art style and spits out a game that’s well worth the 1,000 Wii Point asking price. One thing that would make this game better? The announcement of new downloadable puzzles.

Griptonite Games explains the differences between console and DS versions of Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions
» ‎ Go Nintendo Wii News

Tags: DS [edit]

A portion of an NWR interview with Brad Lansford, senior designer at Griptonite…

NWR: How does this game differ from the home console versions?

BL: Quite a bit! The gameplay, maps, music, and the dialogue are all exclusive to the DS version of Shattered Dimensions. In terms of characters, other than Mysterio, we have exclusive super villains. We spent a lot of time digging through Spider-Man’s back catalog of baddies to select a mix of quintessential fan favorites and villains that have been under-represented in video games. Much like Beenox, we also had the opportunity to work with Marvel to create alternates of villains that haven’t yet existed in Noir and 2099. We have a couple surprises in there.

As for the super heroes, the DS version features three heroes instead of four. We put our efforts towards providing unique gameplay experiences for Noir, 2099, and Amazing, rather than include Ultimate Spider-Man. While we’re all fans of the Ultimate Spider-Man, the Black Suit was featured in Web of Shadows, and reducing our super heroes to three gave us a greater opportunity to provide the highest quality experience possible. Black Suit fans will be pleased to hear that you can still unlock the Black Suit for Amazing Spider-Man when you earn the Award for Alternate Costume mode.

Actors Ed Harris and Gary Oldman have been confirmed for voice work in Call of Duty: Black Ops. This information comes straight from the pages of Entertainment Weekly. Gary Oldman actually voiced a character in World at War, although we do not know if he is going to return to voice that same character. As far as Ed Harris goes, the character he is tied to is not yet known.

WayForward talks winners of this console generation, games today being too easy

Tags: DS [edit]

A portion of an MTV interview with WayForward’s Adam Tierney…

MTV: Who do you think will come out on top this console generation?

AD: I love and play all three systems, as well as the Nintendo DS and PSP. So my allegiance tends to swing with what I’m playing at any given moment. The Wii’s obviously coming out on top in terms of system sales, but beyond that I think each system really does have its own strengths and audience. It’s one of the best console generations we’ve ever had, to be sure.

MTV: What do you think is the biggest problem current games suffer from?

AD: I think most modern games are just too easy. I know it’s because gamers are older now, and we have limited amounts of time in which to beat each game. But it seems like most games these days can be plowed through without difficulty, as long as you’re willing to spend a few hours. What happened to challenge and learning from your failures?

We’ve already shown you the trailer, but here’s the official PR…

September 3, 2010 - Industry luminary Warren Spector today revealed Part Two of the Disney Epic Mickey video game opening movie at the conclusion of his keynote address at the Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle, Washington. Concluding the back story for Disney Epic Mickey,Part Two follows Mickey Mouse as he regains consciousness in Wasteland only to find himself trapped in the clutches of The Mad Doctor. Mickey encounters an old foe, meets a new one and encounters his half brother, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, for the first time ever.

Disney Epic Mickeyis an action-adventure platforming game for the Wii console that sends Mickey Mouse on an epic journey of creativity and discovery. As Mickey, the player is propelled into Wasteland, an alternate world made up of Disney’s long forgotten characters and attractions, and is given the power to wield paint and paint thinner to dynamically change the world while determining Mickey’s path to becoming an epic hero.

Through the use of this unique paint and paint thinner, the key components of animation and Mickey’s tools for impacting his world, players will have the ability to shape how the story unfolds as they discover the concept of “Playstyle Matters” – an innovative style of gameplay created by Disney Interactive Studios’ Junction Point, led by industry luminary Warren Spector, where players creatively tackle different challenges in the world to explore all the possibilities and storylines – but with consequences for their chosen actions.

Disney Epic Mickeywill be available this holiday season exclusively for the Wii console.

UTV Ignition says ‘Swarm’ is coming to ‘all platforms via digital download’
» ‎ Go Nintendo Wii News

Tags: RMC by News [edit]

The following press release states that Swarm will be out on all platforms via digital download. To me, that would include Wii and DS. While I think the DS is a bit of a stretch, we’ll see if WiiWare is happening or not. Unfortunately, the official FTP to download trailers is currently acting up, so we’ll just have to deal with the PR for now.

PAX, Seattle, September 3, 2010. UTV Ignition Entertainment Ltd., a global publisher and developer of videogames, along with co-publisher Hothead Games, today released a brand-new trailer and the first-ever gameplay video for Swarm, the award-winning action platformer launching worldwide on all platforms via digital channels in early 2011. The first video gives players a walkthrough of the brutally funny title, guided by Hothead’s Joel DeYoung, while the all-new trailer shows more of the hilarious and exciting ways the lovable yet daft Swarmites can be sacrificed…for the greater good, of course!

In Swarm, players take control of 50 utterly fearless Swarmites and must drive them through an intense, entertaining and often suicidal battle for a greater good. Run, bash, huddle, boost, stack, jump, push and throw your way through gauntlets of death and destruction in an attempt to collect valuable DNA and ensure that at least one Swarmite survives. With a unique combination of mass character control and fast action, the resulting brutal aftermath will make players want to play Swarm over and over again.

Swarm is being developed by Hothead Games and will be available early 2011 on all platforms via digital download.

The silent protagonist is something that has been in games for years and years now. At first, the lack of voice was due to the limitations of the hardware. There were also a few developers that didn’t want their characters saying anything, so they left text boxes out of the equation. Nowadays there are more than one way to voice a character, yet some remain silent. Sometimes, things end up working better this way.

Original GoldenEye designer slams Activision, decision to revive GoldenEye
» ‎ Go Nintendo Wii News

Tags: RMC by News [edit]

“I imagine it is a business decision isn’t it? This name is valuable, let’s use it. I find it hard to picture Activision’s top management being excited about the original and wanting to do it justice. In fact, I find it hard to imagine them being excited about any game. It’s my perception that they are trying to be EA, only more so. I think they are doing a fine job at that.” - Martin Hollis, the designer of the original GoldenEye

Whoa, someone is none too happy about this decision! At least Mr. Hollis had nice things to say about the actual devs behind the project.

“I know and like Eurocom. I think they are a good company. I’m confident they have done their very best.”

Thanks to AusGamer for the heads up!
