IGN Wii-k in Review 6/22

Did the CEO say "we're heavily supporting Wii" or something? Anyways, in 2006 THQ acquired Paradigm Entertainment, who made Pilotwings 64. Believe?

No he said there are certain games like Frontlines he'd like to keep exclusive to 360/PS3/PC and not develop every game for all active platforms. Similarly he'd like to do that for Wii but he couldn't talk about those games. Why not use an already game like Bratz as an example? Because they are making games for gamers as well.
 
how is there shit to talk about wii, week in, week out? like seriously, vc doesn't count as news and never will.

In case you've been living under a rock for the past two months, Wii announcements have been picking up.

What? When did this happen?

It was either in last week's podcast or two weeks ago. I just remember Matt shitting on about a "new game for hardcore gamers" or something like that, and he accidentally let slip that Nintendo was the developer and him and Bozon chuckled about that. I can't be arsed to listen through them, but I'm sure a couple other members know what I'm referring to.
 
Wow, what a retard...

I'd love for Godzilla to have online multiplayer. While I'm sure most of the fun I'll have with it will be against my brother (seeing how we both grew up loving those movies) it'd be nice to have the option too.

Although, I can't imagine caring for online multiplayer without a mic. It's a necessity.
 
Not sure what they were talking about with Bozon's brother (hardcore Bozon fanboys looking up his family tree?), but it's interesting to hear that Bozon is still in a working relationship with WayForward. Make that one more jackass who isn't me that's seen Contra IV. Oh the longing.
 
Wii's news is so slow. IGN obviously has at least some news on some unannounced games they have to sit on, and everything is probably going to blown out at E3. Don't even know a whole lot about games coming THIS YEAR (hell MP3 is in two months and there hasn't been anything on it since last year) - much less the games coming out next year. It will be nice to finally get some real updates about things.
 
Did not know that.

One of the things I hate about when the IGN guys, especially Matt, tease these unannounced games (aside from the whole "We've seen it and you haven't can't even give you clues hahahaha") is that what I believe to be compelling software and what Matt believes to be compelling software can at times be extremely different. When he says THQ has some very interesting games in the works that are tailored for the Wii I don't know if he's talking Metroid Prime (which we share boners over) or Boogie (which looks nice but I couldn't really care less about).

Dammit E3 just get here already.
 
off topic, but do you guys who own lcd televisions think the component cables are worth it. I'm conflicted.
 
-NeoGeo coming this year probably after E3

-They are going to raid various gaming rental shops to ensure you a copy of zack & wiki

-Probably scored HP to high

-Reggie will jump off the stage during E3, bet on it

-Transformers Wii is for the mindless masses, so you'll probably buy it

-Unannounced games are coming!

Is this the week Matt promised something big? Halo DS or some shit?

Matt said: "we're gonna lay down some ownage next week or soon afterward *Other male commentator chuckles* by showing you that that is a real game, so you all are about to get owned so please look forward to that all you naysayers."

He keeps saying its a "real game" not a "real demo." E3 Anyone? If I were Microsoft, I'd put the game on indefinite hold until after Halo 3 comes out, so Halo fans can't get their 'fix' on the DS version. Release Halo DS a month or two afterwards and bring new Halo fans to buy a 360.
 
One of the Godzilla producers came into my store last week, she mentioned Pipeworks, I asked 'hows it G-Zilla coming?' and got shut the f down. She was very nice however, they've got a good team behind it.

Online confirmed.

Let's see, uh...

Disposed.
Disposed.

- Disposed.
- Hey, dudes, we're too late.

Like, uh, no deposit,
no return.

Well, except maybe this one.

What do you mean?

Look!

"Active."

- Yeah.
- Can you bring up the file?

Well, i could try.

But if the database is coded,
the whole system might go down.

- Do it!
- Yeah, yeah!

A little off topic question.

Why can't I download Wii-k in review with Download Accellerator Plus?
It downloads the file but it's unplayable on anything.

Why does it say September 2007 at the top? Is that about the September Issue? Isn't it a little too...early?

Pah, who cares? It's after the game comes out! (Actually, it being Nintendo Power, the September issue will probably hit shelves some time in July)
 
Yeah, the current issue with SC on the front is August. Magazines are always dated 5-6 weeks ahead of when they're released.
 
Intrigued by the EA and THQ hints..especially EA. I'm really hoping that Fight Night is coming. :D
 
Holy shit, if that issue hits before E3(july 10)... Can't wait. When do NPs usually come in the mail? And what about EGM and GameInformer? It's going to be in their issues too. When do those hit mailboxes?

Don't EGM and GI already have their July issues circulating? If so, I wouldn't expect to see their previews before Play.

Isn't there a magazine already out with news MP3 screens ?

I've read that somewhere yesterday.

If so, I'm sure most of GAF would know about it and scans would be up already around the internets.

You can digitally buy the issue with the Prime 3 story here

What? I would buy this but there are two things telling me not to.

1)Nowhere on that page does it say anything about Metroid Prime 3. They wouldn't mention a game of that scale on the cover at all? Not even anywhere on the page selling it?

2) I would expect these screens to be leaked in scans all over by now if it is really in there.


Anyone willing to buy to make sure it's in. I honestly don't believe Lathentar.

Just searched and the magazine has plenty scans on the internet. But no Metroid. GTA4, Halo, ect. No metroid. I ain't buyin it.
 
Someone help us and "print screen" a little part of a MP3 screen for us to decide what to do !


edit : ant, the title is on the cover page ...

Wth? Is it really? I can only clearly read the top of it. Where is abigger image of the cover to read? I might buy if true.


Edit - omg :lol, I can't believe that. So sure it wasn't in there and proven wrong.

I think I can wait it out though, someone spread the news so someone else Metroid crazy buys ans scans.
