August 26, 2008 - Welcome to the Nintendo Voice Chat podcast. Each week your IGN Nintendo Team – made up of Matt Casamassina, Mark Bozon, and Daemon Hatfield, – get together to talk about all things Nintendo. No Craig this week because he's halfway around the world, eating bratwurst and drinking beer.

This week's topics include: The "On Our Radar List of What To Buy in 2008 Since Things Are Slow", the future of EA's Nintendo offerings, now that Wii MotionPlus lingers in 2009, and of course, more reader questions.

Adding Daemon was the smartest thing they've done. I'm actually willing to listen to it as he somewhat balances out the others.

Could Casamassina sound more unenthusiastic about the some of the games he pimps?
Click to expand...

Yeah, he's definitely unenthusastic though that seems quite normal for IGN. I wouldn't be surprised his lack of enthusiasm comes from the fact that he probably doesn't want to do the podcast to begin with and is only doing it cause he's told to.

This is a lie if it is anything like the other games in the series. Which it is.

My buddies and I to this day still play GNT 4 religiously during fighting game night. Seven of us. Only two of us know anything about the manga/show. It is one seriously fun 3D fighting game.

According to GameSetWatchs rumor section, Renegade Kid is currently working on a project titled Son of the Dragon. They speculate this might be their Wii project.

What does Matt say about it? He was a huuuuuuuge fan of Dyack/Silicon Knights.
Click to expand...

He talks in defence of the game and then rambles on a bit about the whole NeoGAF/Dyack fiasco. I just don't need to hear about it so I skipped through the segment, I skipped through almost all of that podcast. It's like ten minutes of information padded out over an hour.

You can block in the PS3 version and quick dash, which is what I assume he means by move in. 360 version must be the same.
Click to expand...

They said block and "move" in, thats different then the dash move as thats not really moving its an action

When you block on STFU you basically just stand there and become a shield if I remember the PS3 demo

Free Radical working on BF3? What's that?
Click to expand...
Star Wars: Battlefront 3.

Something you might want to add to podcast: They mention Sonic and the Black Knight and say Sega should speed Sonic up (in comparison to SatSR) and not focus too much on combat.

While I do agree that Sega shouldn't focus that much on combat (if they do it'll be Werehog V. 2), Sonic SHOULDN'T be sped up. Sega hasn't even gotten Sonic's controls working well for the current speeds, and going any faster will make it (and any other future 3D Sonic games) even more of a mess.

Wait, a new Battlefront? That is fucking amazing. What system? Is it for the Wii?
Click to expand...

According to Wikipedia:

Star Wars: Battlefront III is rumored to be the fourth game in the Star Wars: Battlefront series. It will likely be developed by Free Radical Design [1] however their website lists merely a "Secret Lucasarts Project".[2] [3] It should be noted that neither Free Radical Design nor Lucas Arts have announced this project to be Star Wars: Battlefront III. An alleged ex-LucasArts employee, however, did come forward to Kotaku, unofficially announcing several games in development, including Battlefront III.[4] For a brief period of time on July 8, 2008, Battlefront III was listed on Amazon.com as being released for the Wii, Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Playstation 2, Nintendo DS, and PSP on March 15, 2009 [5] but the listing was later removed.

I would say the lack of enthusiasm coming from Casamassina is a microcosm of Nintendo fans' feelings in general. Nintendo is not doing anything to stoke our hype or even throw us a bone.

Well, it could turn out to be Dementium: Zombie Party Ward or MoonFit: Prevent Muscle Degeneration In Low-G In Minutes A Day, so let's remain sceptical until we get more information.

essentially that if you gave this game a C- you had an ax to grind and had no business reviewing the game.

said something like reviewers that give too human a 40-50% or D- rating are retarded and shouldnt be in the industry. also mentioned that he felt they were reviewing denis dyack & SK more so than the game.

*sigh*

IGN is retarded for rating crap like MOH:H2 85/100 because they like the controls. I've bought a few games for Wii based on IGN reccomendations and they all sucked. Not to mention that they're hyping a Generic shooter from High-Voltage Software instead of Mad World.

Zack and Wiki was awesome, and I bought that solely on their recommendation. Other than that...not so good

That is the the thing about hype though. Both of those games aren't going to be released for a long time. Who knows which one will turn out better? I mean Mad World looks better right now but you just never know.
Maybe Mad World will turn out to be a generic hack and slash game with interesting graphics. I hope not but all I'm saying is all the hype doesn't let me know either way.

One would assume the extensive coverage and hype of Conduit is because they have such good contact from High Voltage - they don't want to lose this hot "exclusive".

I've had the complete opposite experience. I liked MOH:H2 a lot, mostly for its controls. Most people bought the console for its unique controls and I don't fault IGN for making that a key criteria.

Why is 85/100 retarded? The controls and the inclusion of non friend code 16+ player online is more than deserving, the only knocks against the game besides genre are the fact its based on a psp ported game and the sometimes retarded AI. MOHH2 imho is superior to all non-pc based shooters on the controls alone, nothing on the PS3 or 360 comes close when using their controllers. The graphics are ugly as sin but the controls are rock solid

But 85 in most scales is a B-ish grade, how in the world do you not think the controls of MOHH2 deserve at least that?!?

Also you have to compare apples to apples dude, Sega and Platinum Games are behind Mad World and so far besides the gaming conventions they have not released much so how is that IGN's fault.

I guess Matt could hype the hell out of trailers that the whole world gets to see over a indie developer who seems to keep in almost daily contact providing everything from screenshots to developer documentarys to showcase the games evolution

Keep things in perspective, you cant hype what you dont have

Totally agree with him. The Dyack backlash from some reviewers is unprofessionnal.

I disagree. I can totally see how someone could hate the combat (I am a huge fan of Too Human by the way) and hate the game overall.

OK there's a part for subjectivity in reviews. But if you feel like some people might like it, you say it, and you take it into consideration when giving a grade. If not, you end up with minus 6/10 for every FPS with dual analog.
