- From what we have seen so far (which is half of a single level), it seems that it is very linear. Although that may not be such a problem if they make each new level and area interesting and different, I kinda wanted some multiple paths or some non-linear parts too, you know?Matthew_han

that's not entirely true, I believe from what I saw in the IGN vids, that you can aditionally take the underground sewers.

Well, what about the other 30 million remotes people have already bought? regardless it sounds like to me it is $80 minimum to get the amazing enhancement of 1:1 like in the E3 demo (the one where they guy couldn't get it to hit right to 'sharpen the pencil') I think I'll pass. raahsnavj

To answer your question, that's where we shift back to the little add-on accessory, which is entirely up to you whether or not you buy it.

second, I highly doubt it'll come to $80 (though neither yours or my predictions mean a thing) you can't really use price as an argument until you ACTUALLY KNOW the price.

Third, wii sports resort is due to release next spring, that means there is alot more development and refinement ahead of them. Plus that dude said "If you're really good, you can sharpen the pencil", He could have done it, but in every videogame you find a challenge. It's not like he was part of Wii Sports' development team. He's just some Nintendo of America Official.

If a game is too easy, what's the point? Who's to say it wasn't his hand-eye coordination that made him unable to "sharpen the pencil"

I'll post what I put on the last post about this: No. Wii peripherals are quickly talked about and quickly forgotten. If they bundle Wii Motion Plus with the new Wii units standard, and offer to send them to all current customers then I could see developers taking this serious.

But as it stands the devs won't know if the user has Wii Motion Plus or not, so they will either have to program controls for each configuration or just revert back to the standard out of box (No Motion Plus). Devs barely program for Wii's current control options... let alone double. Requiring a game to have the Motion Plus is a bad idea too. Nothing like trying to get your game to the minority of Wii owners or asking for complaints when the game doesn't work without it. Thus this is nothing more than fancy talk to make people go buy more peripherals that won't add up to anything by $20+ in Nintendos pocket. When it comes out standard, and is shipped to the current install base I'll pay attention. For now I see right though Nintendos plan and I'm not giving them money for something that will be barely utilized.raahsnavj

Then this news should make you just slightly more optimistic:

They'll probably only use EA Nation if EA Games becomes their publisher.

I'm not sure if they have the budget to create they're own Network.

NWC could actually be okay if they allow you to to use a nick name attached to your code, and be able to create/join rooms as well as add friends to a buddy list on-the-fly.

^would that be possible anyone?

The Conduit is High Voltage's answer to a Wii Halo

^should've been one of the choices.

metroid is nothing like halo.

For those of you that don't know, MotionPlus is an accessory Nintendo is releasing next spring to improve the wii remote's motion controls for a more accurate interpretation of your arms'/wrists' movements.

I'll most likely end up buying it. From the demonstrations I've seen for the sword fighting on IGN, it seems like it's a dramatic enough improvement.

In case your answer isn't up there, feel free to post your opinion below, what will you do?

maybe it has been fixed, because after watching this video a while ago, I was like "WAHHH?!":

there is an ad before video starts:

I've been meaning to ask a PS3 owner...

I know that at least, at one time the quality of ps2 games looked worse when playing on ps3 system than on the ps2 system itself.

do these problems still remain, or were they fixed through a software update?
