I'm buying it just for SKIP's game. I wonder which one they did.

VOOK

We don't know why he keeps buying PAL, either.
Nintendo just went... well we got nothing else... let's just make a ton of mini games and whack them all together? Nice work.

Why do I have the feeling that all of these companies should be out of business by now?

Anyway, good looks fun, as you would expect with a roster of devs like that.

Pretty much Start The Party without the augmented reality & a little Sports Champions mixed in for the rock skipping.


these games show off the Motion Plus so that's a good thing because they will feel closer to a PlayStation Move game than the normal Wii games that don't put the motion plus to use.

The lack of Osman/Cannon Dancer listed under Mitchell Corporation is saddening. Still, it's good to see these developers working.

I'll probably grab this when I pick up Child of Eden.

are there any impressions of this anywhere yet?

curious about how many of the games are multiplayer-centric as well.

will likely grab as i expect it'll entertain me more than flingsmash would have, and my current non-m+ remotes don't talk to nunchuks/classic controllers anymore:(

If you could get it for $20 without the controller I'd buy it...but I'm not paying a bunch extra for a controller that I don't need.

If it bombs you'll be able to get it for ridiculously cheap just like Flingsmash. Then you can do whatever with the controller.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa.... whoa... WHOA.

Hudson Soft is no longer the developer of Mario Party?! I guess it only took Nintendo 8 games to realize they were driving that crap into the ground, eh?

IIRC, and according to GAF, Nintendo absorbed most of Hudson Soft's Mario Party team into NdCUBE.

Mario Party 9 looks like it's going to be great again, and really pretty too with Super Mario Galaxy-like graphics and design influences:

If that's the case you also want Vanpool's game, since they're something of an offshoot of Skip. Or rather, they both sprung from the same source. Or something. They crazy.

I want the game, but I already have enough controllers.

I guess I'll just wait to buy the game by itself used. It probably won't take too long for them to show up.

I got an e-mail from Club Nintendo saying I could get it without the controller for $29.99, since I own the original Wii Play.

Well, I'm a lot more interested now! Still waiting for detailed previews of the games.

(Probably not worth it if they charge shipping - it may be cheaper to buy the bundle and sell the wiimote+. Besides, it should be $20 for the bundle by Black Friday.)

Anyone get this yet? I'm interested in the bundle... this is not likely to drop soon since its Nintendo published, right?

What would be cool for a mini-game compilation would be to have multiple developers create their own game using the new tech. This is Miyamoto's game, this is Sakurai's game, etc.

That I might buy.

When you get used to the real-world mapping of the controller as a giant 3D VR control, prope's Trigger Twist is really good.

It's an odd idea, though. An enemy is to the player's right? You point to your actual right (not to right on the screen, but to your actual right for example by extending your right arm straight out).

For it to work perfectly, the TV would have to move with the remote (hmm.. Wii U?) , so you look to your right as well. As it is you look forwards to the screen, and see the part of the game world where your arm is pointing. VR-esque.

I haven't bought this yet but plan to -- still undecided on U.S. or JP. What are the best games?

apparently, Prope and Skip wanted to make a ghost searching game too, but arzest came up with it first, lol
