I don't know why so many people are giving that statement attention. Even if it doesn't come true, she still has an "out" as Dunaway can just claim that she was refering to Spirit Tracks.$200 said:

According to Dan Adelman, head of business development at Nintendo, mentioned 76 Wii titles have sold more than 1M copies worldwide, including 54 third parties.
The odd thing? It matches the list of a certain banned site with 22 first parties and 54 third parties...

You know nintendo really knocked this conference out of the park... When you look at the next few months
Red Steel 2
Fragile Dreams
Monster Hunter
Cave Story
Mario
Metroid
Sin and Punishment...
And after that little run is done, most likely the vitality sensor and zelda at E3... Just wow.
How anyone can say that Wii isn't a gamers system is beyond me.

Because its not HD (sic) and waggle is for kids / wrecks games.
There's no point trying to convert anybody who already has that mindset. Best to ignore them and keep enjoying whats there.
Hmm, I'm not sure about that.Green Scar said:
NoE -or whoever is actually in charge of those kind of things- has already clearly demonstrated it *can* localize and release games simultaneously or with very small delays between USA and Euro street dates, I believe the real issue here is if they *want* (or are allowed to, according to NCL plans/schedules, I wonder how much freedom they are given, but I guess it's still NCL that has the final word) to do that...
A nice long video and explanation of X-Scape from the summit just popped up on youtube:

I think "Why make two distinct pressings, incurring the extra costs of having a second distinct pressing, when we could just make one for the entire region" is a pretty good excuse. That's nothing to do with worldwide releases; if they were doing worldwide releases, there would still be just a single europe-wide pressing, so those extra costs would not be a factor.
Edit: In theory, since the PS3 is region-free, I'd imagine they can reduce the quantity of pressings further if they so wished; it wouldn't be impossible to make a single release that works on any PS3 worldwide; while I doubt they do that, I do wonder if simultaneous release titles have one pressing which covers both Europe and the US.

Because ever since Brawl came out it hasn't been?
The past 18 months have seen nothing but token gestures from Nintendo toward the non-casual audience. They've clearly learned from their error and 2010 is going to be a brilliant year, but to pretend that Nintendo's critics over the past couple of years have been complaining unfairly is pretty shortsighted.

Nintendo doesn't learn from us peons. They're just as likely to piss on us.
But I'm a submissive person so I take every golden shower with a smile.
Burai said:
The guy you quoted was mentioning 3rd party games as well, not only 1st party. And we've seen a good number of great 3rd party games in 2009.
And also, I find it funny because people only take notice of the games Nintendo releases when they're either Mario, Zelda or Metroid. If it's not one of those, they ignore it. Then they complaint that Nintendo rehashes only the same series.
I'm not saying Nintendo's output has been spectacular since Brawl. It could be a lot better, no doubt. But it's not been that bad either, even though I'm sure you'll have some kind of excuse about games like Punch-Out, Wario Land, Excitebots, Another Code or Wii Sports Resort not being "gamers" games.

It's a shame too. If "Waggle is for Kids" why are Sony and Microsoft following with their own versions? That's the counterargument everytime

Here's the key question: Did lolchartz have exactly 76 Wii million sellers listed before Nintendo made this public statement? Given that they have a record of adjusting their numbers after NPD announcements I know what my guess is.

Since Zelda is a lock for e3 now I'm starting to look forward to whatever Retro and Sakurai are working on. I really hope we at least get a teaser at the big show.

GET A LOAD OF THIS longer video of FlingSmash by NWR:

One thing that concerns me are the random pauses, is that the level loading during gameplay or what?
And :lol @ Zip's Fail Face at the end!

listen to the mad man
oh my god stop replying to grandjedi's post it's abundantly obvious that he meant her "out" was that they released the three games within twelve months, not that he thought spirit tracks was 2010
not only that but it's pretty absurd to even give a shit about her comment anyway. they're clearly trying for a 2010 release for zelda wii. maybe they'll make it, maybe they won't. if they don't, it won't be because of cammie. she doesn't have control over any kind of game development.
i can't believe anyone is even discussing that answer as if it provides some new information

No Tomodachi Collection or Reginleiv, I see... :'(
Burai said:
I've had plenty of games to play on the thing. Unless you seriously only count Nintendo titles... then yeah, you might have been a little disappointed with the output. Man, I'm starting to doubt my whole rationale behind critiquing 3rd parties' treatment of the system - some of its owners are either seriously blind or don't give a damn about anything but Nintendo.

Seriously, even in the last, supposedly dry year we've gotten Little King's Story, Muramasa, Excitebots, Punch Out!, and more. I'm currently playing through Dead Space: Extraction with a friend, and it's a fun experience. I also recently found Wario Land on clearance and there are a bunch of other games I'd like to pick up when I have the cash.
Vinci said:
Of course, its only Nintendo's fault! You know 3rd parties make nothing but shovelware.
I mean not to knock em, but I always wondered why people lay the weight of the Wii on Nintendo when I'm almost certain they provide/publish more games than MS/Sony, who pretty much divert the majority of the attention to 3rd party.
I could be wrong but did Sony have anything in between Ratchet and Heavy Rain? And is Forza's MS most recent release?
Penguin said:
It's because the Wii isn't getting the high-tier support of 3rd parties. That doesn't somehow make what support they do give completely dogshit. True, a lot of it is worthless - but it's not like anyone on GAF would buy that stuff in the first place. At least buy the stuff they release that's good even if it's hardly AAA.

You guys are missing the earlier part of that conversation, which states pretty clearly that she's talking about releasing Zelda in the back half of calendar 2010.
Some will argue that Natal and Arc are casual crap, that it's not for gamers (MS and Sony wanting to broaden their audience), and they won't touch them.gamergirly said:
The fact is that Sony/MS will have some funny times ahead. They were first to call motion capture a "casual gimmick", and now they have to market it, and not only towards casuals if possible. Of course, Microsoft will say it's completely different (even if I personnally have some doubts of usability in many genres) and Sony will say it's more precise (slim difference, especially with M+).
I'd like to see next PS3 WE/PES supporting Playmaker control sytem using Arc, it deserves more attention. And maybe some will change their views (I'm pretty sure that many rely mostly on commercials to make their mind on what wiimote control is).

A friend of mine was recently bashing the Wii saying that it has nothing to follow up NSMBWii in the early months of 2010. I was like, "What are you talking about? No More Heroes 2 and Tatsunoko vs Capcom just came out!" Point is, people will create their own reality based on their belief systems. My friend had it set in his mind that he was investing in a PS3. Yes, there is a difference in demographics. Wii owners haven't gotten anything like Darksiders or God of War. However, if you bought a Wii expecting those type of games, I would question your rationality.
My friend then went on to say there was nothing for casuals to play. My response is similar to Dunaway's. There are a ton of fun games already released that new owners have yet to experience. Nintendo's philosophy of evergreen titles needs to be picked up by third parties. I personally, would still like to give Boom Blox a go in a party atmosphere. The issue, however, is the matter of shelf space. How these shovelware games get so much shelf space while Gamestop is no longer restocking Wario Land and House of the Dead: Overkill boggles my mind!

Pretty much. It basically stems from system loyalty stupidity and console warriors. The 'real' way to game is unfortunately multi-platform, including PC, and for many people its not financially possible or simply not in their interest.
So you get these people that have grown up only playing a specific system brand and become a tad biased and blind to the whole concept of good games existing on multiple platforms, and them sometimes not being available on others.
So yeah, while the Wii doesnt have anything like God of War, its got stuff like Mario Galaxy and Prime 3, which in turn these other systems dont have. Like people raving how good shooters are on other platforms and how the Wii has none, in turn can be said about platformers; Galaxy and NSMB Wii are in my opinion the best platformers this generation by leaps and bounds, and they are only found on the Wii.
With the younger crowd I kinda let it go because I used to be a Nintendo console warrior when I was a kiddy. Now that I'm older it simply comes down to whether or not the game is fun, and by fun I dont mean what other people think is fun, but what I think is fun. If its fun I will buy it and play it if I can. If its not, I wont.
And thats all that matters.

The only problem I see right now is how does the game work well if everyone gets the same clues at the same time.
