Sales of this game are going to fund that Beyond Good & Evil sequel...right?....right?!?

GO OUTSIDE

:lol :lol WTF :lol :lol

 

[Haunted]

People laugh, but wouldn't the majority here benefit hugely from this?

well, that was a solid burn.

You guys should brace yourselves for more bulllshit non games

'You guys?' You're replying to a Wii hater, what a strange choice of words.



I really like Brain Training, but I didn't like Big Brain Academy that much, so I'm interested in where this stands as far as those two different types of similarly themed games go.


And I can't believe people are still replying to drohne in a Nintendo thread. :lol

Spoiler

please stop it, it circumvents the ignore list.

This i brilliant. I'll be able to learn how many vowels i'm using when i say "holy ****ing hell, *insert any ubisoft Wii title here* is the biggest pile of horse shit i've ever played."

Maybe it's not what you expected, but we can state without hesitation that it is both uniquely suited for Nintendo's system and a whole lot of fun. And on top of that, the Wii and DS versions interact with each other in a seamless fashion that few other projects have demonstrated so far

They've had it for a week or two...

this is like telling a nurse in a casualty ward that he's morbid: it's not my temperament, it's my environment. i think it's remarkable that i post about anything besides the stupidity of nintendo fans -- you ought to be praising my restraint.

Err ok............ keep up the good work. *shudders*

If I was working with a nurse in a casualty ward and all he/she ever talked about was how disgusting dead people were I would suggest that person get a new job that doesn't require them to be in close contact with the non-living.

In other words, don't stick around if you don't like the company.

You use the ignore list? I tried it once but it's basically akin to replacing the user's post with big flashing lights. I'd rather it just removed their post altogether.

I actually agree with this. I honestly find myself reading ignored users' posts more than I do the unignored.

Thankfully for the most part I see why I put them on ignore and things remain unchanged.

 

[ethelred]

This thread never had a chance.

Yeah, just go with the flow. It's fun!

 

[Branduil]

Flow is a fun game.

I think he's over at Adult Swim's forums campaigning for The Drinky Crow Show to get picked up for a full season.

 

[Gattsu25]

Flow is a [snip] game.

Are you sure about that?

 

[justchris]

Hmmm, this actually looks pretty interesting, but I don't know that it'll actually be fun. Of course, I didn't actually like Brain Training, so not sure that means anything.

 

[Y2Kev]

flow has more game in its little member

:lol It's a constant temptation.

But since I only have the most notorious trolls on the list, their posts get quoted way too often (because someone always reacts to the flamebait) so it's kind of useless anyway.

:lol It's a constant temptation.

But since I only have the most notorios trolls on the list, their posts get quoted nearly continuosly (because someone always reacts to the flamebait) so it's kind of useless anyway.

Yeah, I had someone on ignore for a while at first, but then I found they would either get quoted, or I'd be tempted to see what stupid thing they had said. Ended up spending more time reading their posts than before. :lol So yeah, I haven't used it since.

 

[Branduil]

The only way the ignore list would work is if it eliminated the posts without any sign, and also eliminated quoted posts.

I have an ignore list, it's called my brain. It's incredibly effective.

If done right, I actually think this could be pretty cool. Better than Generic Movie License Game 5 or Red Steel 2, at least.

Hey, Mecc made Oregon Trail, don't diss them.

So the gaming revolution is basically new versions of edutainment titles I played in elementary school? Call me when we get Waggle Oregon Trail.

Probably not better than Word Rescue though. Word Rescue was AWESOME.

I wish, that would actually be cool.

 

[John Harker]

Can you give us any more information about this title?

whaddya wanna know

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

Really? According to Nintendo, this is what the Wii is made for.

That's as true as saying the Wii is made for Excite Truck or the Wii is made for Streets of Rage 2; it's made for anything.

Pale imitation of Number Munchers. Using words instead of numbers was a novel idea, but the isometric perspective ruined the flow of the game, leading to unfortunate directional mishaps and other annoying control issues. 4/10.

SPM Question: "Do you go on messageboards and complain about games that you never played?"

GAF: YES!!!!!!!!!!
:lol :lol :lol

 

[titiklabingapat]

I'll buy this.

Why is everyone laughing at the thing? This is the exact reason why the Wii will appear on every mainstream news rags/news that isn't gaming related, and consequently, lead to more sell outs.

Seriously. Stop having meltdowns during NPD days and crying "why does the Wii sell!" if you're laughing at this.

Microsoft and Sony are trying to hard to make gaming machines what they're not when the Wii is doing it flawlessly.

 

[TurtleSnatcher]

Its actually pretty fun.. The DS was a bit quirky in recognizing some of the letters but was still really fun.

Connecting the DS to the Wii was incredibly simple and did it in no time flat. The Wii multiplayer functionality and competing agst others on finishing the word was an absolute blast.. Everyone held there cursors in the middle of the screen.. It did a countdown from 3 to 1.. if you moved out of an area in the middle it would reset the timer so it made it fair for everyone and you went to the correct corner with the wrong letter.

The funny part is you tend to follow others who may get them wrong

Of all the "games" ever to not need experience with to pass judgment on, I'd think a title called "My Word Coach" which tries to teach people to... well... spell better is probably at the top of the list. I mean, it's a piece of software which is trying to teach you to spell. There's not exactly an endless well of information to dig up on such a concept. You're either going to want software that teaches you to spell (for yourself or a child), or you're not. The third option is you can trick yourself into believing that you want something like that.

Not really the best occasion to use that classy Super Paper Mario joke gif, I think!

What, I can't laugh at throwaway products because they're going to sell a lot to people who hate games? That is not fair, pat!

 

[Jiggy]

I'm an English major. I want to be an editor of a literary magazine and decide what sorts of people get published. And, frankly, if the admittedly non-representative sample of submissions received at my college's literary magazine is any remote indicator, I hope a lot of people start picking up this software--there are too many hopeless dreamers writers who want to be published but who don't know how to spell "definite," can't distinguish between "accept" and "except," etc. It delays the entire process of publication when a publishable, fundamentally-good story is obscured by awful spelling and the writer has to be contacted.




...I know. That was a lot of positive spin.

It's not so much the laughing at the game that gets me, it's that laughing that it's because on the Wii that irks me. I like this announcement but the rampant Wii trolling is just lame.

Im laughing at the game, btw.

Its a damn shame that Nintendo spent the last few years telling to devs to expand the market and think outside the box and the only thing they are doing is copying Nintendo and adding new coat of paint.

This thread needs more Craig T. Nelson, anyway.

 

[underfooter]

This game looks pretty fun, I like when things test my intelligence by little daily tests. I wish this was a downloadable though, so I could just go to it for 5 minutes then back to the wii menu.

Storybook Weaver Deluxe plz.

Oh I loved this game.

I want this game to sell 5 million copies just to see the bitter tears of ppl in this thread.
