Yeah, I got the demo yesterday. Holy shit soooooooooooo fun.

Playing without the motion plus kinnnnnnnda sucks though. The "fire wand" is the best weapon ever though, just watching that shit explode feels soooo good.

What's it really like with the classic controller? Playable?

Why do I have a sinking feeling this is going to be another one of those games that Nintendo leaves in Japan even though it's one of the best games on their platform?

Big swords, pretty boys, and kicking huge ass.


I think I'm sold.

I'm a little reminded of Drakengard, actually. Not a bad thing.


I'm watching the trailer now. Is that... is that online co-op?

Haven't tried it to be honest, the Wii Motion Plus controls are perfect though.

Is the camera as much of a problem as it looks in the footage on gamevideos? I almost groaned when the grass on the ground started obstructing the view and I got dangerously close to ranting about cinematic camera angles in games again.

How does the wii motion plus controls work? What´s the blue line all about? Confirmed not 1:1?

I have to ask, because up until now we only had people´s opinion based on trailers alone.

So EDF 1 did 10k in its first week, EDF 2 did 40k, and EDF 3 did around 5k. RAD did 13k and Chou Soujuu Mecha did 14k. Any bets for Reginleiv?

It's not 1:1

but since the wii never loses track of your position it's easier to direct your attacks.

So it's worth spending $18 on the Motion+ accessory? I'm guessing yes?

Also sprsk, what does this game do to make the 1p more fun than 1p in EDF? Because 1p in EDF kinda sucks while the game is zomg in 2p. Since this doesn't have 2p offline, I'll probably be stuck playing it 1p the whole time and I just get EDF 1p flashbacks of boringness.

Not my kind of game.

The only games I see myself using M+ for are Zegeki and the next Zelda since I don't play sports games.

Yeah, I would definitely not recommend playin without it.

The game in general is more fun than EDF. Playing by yourself or controller passing is probably fun enough. The feeling of sending a giant torso a hundred feet in the air is just too awesome.

Im taking chances here, but you should probably get a Motion+ at least for Red Steel 2?

What? RS2 game looks great! Dont look at me like that!

America isn't really his turf. He's usually pretty well informed when it comes to Europe, though.

More than likely, it has to do with trying to render hundreds of enemies multiple times.

More than likely, it has to do with Nintendo wanting to copy some fraction of MH3's success and trying to get more people to buy their own copy of the game instead of playing together at a friend's house.

It's not as if all the previous EDF games didn't have split-screen co-op. :p

Nintendo of all people should know the value of offline co-op.. it could really be just the pointer.

They could have made it so that you had to use the classic controller or something. Besides, there are other pointer based split screen games on Wii so I don't see why that's a problem.

Yeah, there's been no games on the horizon since NMH2 and Tatsunoko.

But those were months and months ago.

Nintendo's Publishing. They're normally quite iffy on including extras just for the sake of it. If an extra doesn't stack up the quality of the rest of the product they usually tear it out. In this case, since you need to make large movements with the pointer, reduced screen space could potentially prove to be frustrating.

You know, I get the feeling that if anyone in the industry understands that it doesn't work like that, it would be Nintendo with their Mario Kart Wii and their NSMBWii and their Wii Sports Wii and their whatever-the-hell-else-there-is-that-sells-like-oxygen-on-mars.

Those are more casual friendly games. There's a huge market to tap into. You don't really lose anything appealing to everyone. This is a hardcore superniche game. There are definitely less than 200k people in all of Japan who will be even interested in paying 30 bucks for this, much less 60 bucks. Different strategies clearly apply here.

Just sayin', I don't think Nintendo up and said "you will not put split-screen co-op into this game because we want everyone who plays it to buy their own copy instead of playing it at a friend's house". It would make a lot more sense if they said "well, rendering all of these enemies twice over is dragging the framerate down to powerpoint presentation levels, let's axe it".

But the pointer has nothing to do with it. You gotta remember, the pointer is based on the sensor bar, not the screen, and the sensor bar never changes size.
