Peru said:They've literally put everything into this game. But the surprising thing is that the environments look quite nice, I'd like to wander around and take the train to sightsee. Plus the jet ski mechanics / waves look satisfying. 4 player split screen is a framerate mess of course.

lol, I was just gonna say that the whistle sound will haunt me in my sleep. Good lord, that sound plays like every 5 seconds, and it's already annoying just watching the videos.gamingeek said:Why is it that only the parachuting game has different music? Everything else has that somewhat catchy tune that will drive you insane after the 15th time. You'll hear it in your sleep.
No, other than the fact that it features an extremely large explorable overworld with stuff to discover, motion plus compatible minigames with some actual depth to them, and graphics that actually take advantage of the Wii's power while Carnival Games looks like an early PS2 game and its minigames have as much effort put into them as a typical flash game, you'd almost think they were the same game! You're definitely not missing anything at all.Tagg9 said:Maybe I'm missing something here, but after watching several videos it hardly looks any better than Carnival Games. Are there any actual hands-on reports of the game from E3?
Wait that can't be the real date... that's just a placeholder date right?gkryhewy said:Why the shit is this releasing two days AFTER christmas?
.....namco.....
Some companies like releasing their products after Christmas so people will get them when they go back to the stores to exchange the gifts they got.Fantastical said:Wait that can't be the real date... that's just a placeholder date right?
But won't they still be there if they release them on December 1st or something?Brazil said:Some companies like releasing their products after Christmas so people will get them when they go back to the stores to exchange the gifts they got.
If it's a less-known product, it'll probably disappear amidst all the other new and more popular products during the pre-Christmas season.Fantastical said:But won't they still be there if they release them on December 1st or something?

I should have selected my example (Carnival Games) a bit better. However, I maintain that there are very few previews for the game, and the ones that do exist are noncommittal in tone. It takes more than average graphics and and a large selection of minigames to make a good party game.nincompoop said:No, other than the fact that it features an extremely large explorable overworld with stuff to discover, motion plus compatible minigames with some actual depth to them, and graphics that actually take advantage of the Wii's power while Carnival Games looks like an early PS2 game and its minigames have as much effort put into them as a typical flash game, you'd almost think they were the same game!

Uh, what? How are the kinds of activities even remotely similar to what you'd find in carnival games?nincompoop said:i dunno, it looks just like carnival games to me!!!
Alextended said:It's still awesome people can even wander and do their own thing each rather than the particular activity. Frame rate issues are acceptable just for that reason, imo. I'd probably only play this two player, it should be smoother.
I'm just going by screenshots like this which clearly show players doing different things in split screen.kunonabi said:Holy crap, you can do that? Damn, this would be great to play with my brother and my nephew then.
Which I thought would be the sea resort? Unless it's a mini all different place that includes activities from all the others or something.Teppic said:The split screen is probably limited to the map you see on the screenshot there. Looks like everyone is just walking/driving around the island in that shot. You might not be able to several events at once.
The map looks pretty huge so that's probably correct.Alextended said:Which I thought would be the sea resort? Unless it's a mini all different place that includes activities from all the others or something.

Hero of Canton said:I think that's placeholder or added over the footage for some reason. This vid - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxKoQQrugw0 - has some of the same events, but different music.
Looks like two decent games from NBGI for Wii later this year, with Family Fishing also having a resort vibe: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g95VQe9b4IA

I'm sure the partygames themselves are gonna be only servicable, but the fact that there is such a wide variety of them is definitely a good way to counter this problem. But the reason this is getting so much attention here is the fact that the game has an explorable island and the player has the ability to freeroam. That makes it wholly different from the wannabes. That and it looks to have a bit of style.Tagg9 said:I should have selected my example (Carnival Games) a bit better.

I'm sure its gonna be exactly that, but I think with games like this you're gonna want to be able to look past that and appreciate the game for what it tries to accomplish. Games like Deadly Premonition or Xenus go for broke too and their jankiness is what makes them unique, without it the games wouldn't even be as good as they are. I'm sure this is gonna be a bit more polished though.jamesinclair said:Looks interesting. Worried its a jack of all trades/master of none situation.
