They're basically the same. Except for the far superior voice acting in 64.

Yea, SFC is probably going to be shit without any rail segments.
I'd get it just for online, but I did that with MPH and regretted it.

They can't that IP and game belongs to Nintendo, Rare has no rights over it.
The small tidbits are quite interesting. Specially the MP3 using wiiconect and Super Mario Galaxy with 2 players using the wiimote and nunchuk.
That's pretty good. 4 or 5 of those will probally be must buys for me.UPDATE 12: Nintendo Power confirms six titles for launch. Twilight Princess, Metroid Prime 3, Red Steel, Dragon Quest, Super Monkey Ball and Rayman Raving Rabbids.

I still don't see Red Steel making launch.
Wouldn't Madden NFL Wii, Wii Sports, and Excite Truck be more likely launch titles?

They all probably will, and I don't think Red Steel will honostly make launch. But it probably will, and it'll probably suck.

I think all those will make it for launch and Tony Hawk Downhill Jam as well.

More likely to be launch titles than a game that has been repeatedly described over and over and over again from its earliest inception as a launch title?
Probably not.
UPDATE 10: Two pages are dedicated to the Super NES as the month of August is the 15th Anniversary of the system. NP Staff picked six personal picks of underrated/overlooked titles. Axelay, Secret of Evermore, Metal Warriors, Illusion of Gaia, Out of this World and Battletoads in Battlemaniacs. Also has a very small section of the Super Famicom, spoke about how Final Fantasy V and Mega Man & Bass didnt make it to the US.
Metal Warriors was hot.

Dark Dragon said:DKC4 if like DKC2 could be hot stuff. DKC2 has the best soundtract the the DK games. Levels were fun and challenging. Still got nightmare over the Toxic tower stage >.<.
Doubt it will be, that's all Rare man. Nintendo wants to make DK like the insane devil he was in Jungle Beat, and that's really okay for me. Jungle Beat kicked all kinds of ass.

Yeah I think the launch window will probably be something like this for the US ...
Zelda: Twilight Princess
Excite Truck
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
Wii Sports
Wii Music
Wii Party Collection (Duck Hunt, Maze Game, etc.)
Dragon Quest Swords
Madden NFL Wii 2007
Tony Hawk Downhill Jam
Rayman
Elebits
And some more 3rd party filler.
Japan will be about the same with Pokemon Battle Revolution, Wario Ware Wii, and maybe Final Fantasy: Crystal Bearers added.
Zelda: Twilight Princess
Excite Truck
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
Wii Sports

I don't think FF: CB will be ready for launch. Dragon Quest will be there for launch. FF: CB for launch period is more likely.

I really like that wishlist for Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

I need to pick up Jungle Beat at some point. Damn bongos. It's still bundled right?
Sorry, Contact isn't made by Grasshopper Manufacture anymore, it's made by a company that just splintered off of them, Audio Ltd. While it's possible that Audio will make it for Wii, I don't think that Suda 51 has the last word on such matters.ethelred said:Ever since Suda and Marvelous first mentioned Contact 2 as a surprise for "a Nintendo platform," I've been betting on it being for Wii. Suda's remarks here only lead to further down that line of thinking.
Contact 2 for Wii... should be awesome.

Uh, not too sure, I think I've seen Best Buy still carry the bundles. If not, you can easy find some bongos at Gamestop or EB and find the game used.
Dark Dragon said:I need to pick up Jungle Beat at some point. Damn bongos. It's still bundled right?
There are versions with the bongos and versions without it.

I'm aware that Akira Ueda split his team off into an independent company, but he's still very close to Suda, and Suda obviously knows what the guy's plans are. Furthermore, Contact 2 was first announced during an interview with Suda and Marvelous Interactive -- Marvelous published Contact and will almost surely be publishing Contact 2, so it is their decision where the game goes. That's the same interview where they announced Audio's formation.
So for Suda to mention the game again, when he clearly knows where it'll be, in the context of talking about the Wii... is a pretty strong indicator. And if it was just a sequel on the DS, they wouldn't be playing this "surprise" game at all.
Actually, the addition of multiplayer, the single-player dogfight sequences and the very solid Landmaster mechanics really put SF64 in a league of its own.BrandNew said:They're basically the same. Except for the far superior voice acting in 64.

Thats was so annoying in the GC update. Bitches won't shut up for more than 5 seconds.

jGuru said:Great bits of info.
Would it be that easy to include third party characters in SSB:B? I think not, since Snake was there cause the creater wanted it.
Which third party wouldn't want their character in this game? It's going to be one of the top 3 selling console games in Japan for 2007 most likely, if not the top one.
It's probably more of an issue of how many characters Nintendo realistically has time to add.
Snake is in ... Sonic is almost definitely also probably in. I would think Capcom would push for Mega Man and/or Dante.

Well if you put it that way maybe you're right. I hope we see Dante in there, that would be a nice mix.
Well be making a Contact 2 for um, a Nintendo platform to be announced.
WTF? A nintendo platform to be announced? What the hell does that mean?

And thinking about it...Simon Belmont already has all his moves perfectly mapped out. (Side note: I've actually never played SOTN, just Castlevania 3 and the GBA Castlevanias.) B=Whip. Up+B=Axe Left/Right+B=Knife Throw Down+B=Holy Water

aoi tsuki said:i can't see Dante in there given his heavy use of guns. Joe (of Viewtiful Joe) or Megaman (pre X-series, please) would be a great fit, however.
I don't see your point. He can use his sword for close-range combat (a la Link) and his guns for long-range combat (a la Fox). Though, Megaman/Joe might be more fitted for the game's theme.

He means that the Nintendo platform Contact 2 is going to show up, it's going to be a surprise. Could be DS,GBA or Wii.

Frankly, if Snake is in this game, all bets are off in terms of "fitting into the game's theme."jGuru said:I don't see your point. He can use his sword for close-range combat (a la Link) and his guns for long-range combat (a la Fox). Though, Megaman/Joe might be more fitted for the game's theme.

I hadn't thought of Bonk before I read that for some reason. That would be a great add IMO.

And the GBC, 64, VB, SNES, GB and the NES. This game could show up anywhere!KimiSan said:You forgot the GameCube.

Please God, let Fire Emblem be a launch window title.

It'll prolly be summer or fall 2007. I'm pretty surprised (and glad) they jumped on this instead of a DS title, actually.
Uh, yeah, back in 1997 -- and mostly because it was resembled a movie that came out near that time. Have you played that shit lately? It sucks.soundwave05 said:The control is Star Fox 64 ... is butter. No smoother than butter.

Anyway, Star Fox is a much more enjoyable game than Star Fox 64. The only things really holding back the original are the low frame rate and short draw distance. The level designs is just more fun in the original.
Dylan Cuthbert rocks, by the way. If the new Star Fox sucks, it won't be because of him. He'd be its only possible saving grace.
AniHawk said:It'll prolly be summer or fall 2007. I'm pretty surprised (and glad) they jumped on this instead of a DS title, actually.
It'll be out by March in Japan, and I'd guess it'll follow in fairly short order in the US (given that the US sales of the series have overtaken the Japanese).
The Sacred Stones team is probably developing a DS Fire Emblem while the PoR team is doing FE Wii.

Yeah, I played it a couple days ago, and it fricken ruled. If anything that level should have been longer.
I agree that all the subsequent games after the original have lacked the atmosphere that was present from the very first moment that you start the SNES version. the series seems to be getting steadily more cutesy. the original had a cool sci-fi shooter feel, right from where the arwings are flying down the corridor at the start and you hear "emergency, emergency". that game sucked me right in when I was a kid, and made me feel like a bit of a badass.
that atmosphere probably came, in part, because 3D on a console was so new and futuristic at the time.
