    Posted June 24th by jsharp

     

    Rock Band
    - Underwhelming - comes very late after other versions, the great features aren’t in the Wii version
    - Can’t make own band members
    - Drums not wireless - there was an error on the press release
    - Sub-par stereo sound

    Madden All-Play
    - Visuals “updated” - looks like they’re tweaking with the system
    - 5 on 5 mode - easier to play - ex: throw automatically
    - Call Your Shot: Draw own shots - can do this online
    - Overall, gameplay more fast, “arcadey” - Bozon says this isn’t a bad thing
    - Core football isn’t gimped (not too much missing from other versions)
    - Hardcore gamers will go for the 360 version, casual gamers will go for the Wii version

    Tiger Woods
    - Feels good, graphics improved
    - Colors more vibrant, frame rate is good
    - Feels more polished, controls have been improved greatly
    - Game accounts for full motion
    - Matt is impressed with the game
    - Game all about motion
    - 4 player online at the same time (can see other people hitting the golf balls)
    - Ball Battle: Zoom in screen on ball with heavy metal music - point remote at screen, pull it in any direction - friends scramble to pull it (to mess up a player)

    We Love Golf
    - Tiger way better than We Love Golf according to Matt

    Guitar Hero World Tour
    - Looks like you can play downloaded songs right off of SD card
    - Proving things are possible on Wii (ex: downloadable content to SD card)
    - Experience will be like Rock Band
    - Every feature in Xbox 360 + PS3 versions will be in the Wii version

    Moon (DS)
    - Matt thinks Moon will be coming to Wii, wants to confirm his theory with the developers
    - Looks good so far
    - Good concept
    - PR guy that Matt spoke to said the game is a DS version of System Shock 2

    FFIV
    - 3D, cool, very difficult game
    - There’s a fat chocobo
    - Even though the game is hard, it’s very rewarding
    - Uses FFIII graphics engine
    - Both screens used this time - maps in dungeons
    - Tons of voice-acting

    Guitar Hero On Tour
    - Peripheral works well
    - Some complaints: Only 4 buttons (but still difficult), cramp-inducing, song list isn’t as great as what you’ll see on consoles
    - Lame songs still fun to play

    Final Fantasy Tactics A2
    - Very very good, but it’s the same
    - A lot like FF Tactics Advanced
    - Square put a ton of polish on the game

    Deadly Creatures
    - Something about the aspect of playing as tarantula is cool
    - Gilbert Gottfried providing voice talent for tarantula
    - Music, voices are great - Elijah Wood, David Spade providing voice work as well

    Sim City Wii
    - Being developed by Hudson
    - Looks promising
    - Draw roads with Wiimote, can draw curved roads for the first time

    Top Spin 3 DS
    - Good framerate - was a big issue in last version
    - Nothing really has changed
    - Gameplay is great, better than the Wii version

    Gyrostarr
    - Review coming soon
    - It’s a cool game but not amazing
    - Every level starts off slow
    - Will probably earn something in the mid-7s

    Reader mail
    - It is possible to fill all 4 pages on the Wii menu if you only buy NES games (maybe TurboGrafx-16 too)
    - GBA games on VC would be a good idea - the GBA is basically like the SNES
    - Abysmal sales of Boom Blox: Game should have been on WiiWare, Steven Spielberg wasn’t mentioned enough - marketing not good enough either
    - Madden 09: Load times are shorter, whole experience more streamlined
    - THQ’s Big Huge Games Wii project: Game still in development, not sure if it’ll be on Wii - haven’t heard much on it lately
    - Megaman 9 - not sure which system it’s coming out for
    - Dark Wing Duck RPG - whole crew would buy it if it were in development
    - Capcom’s E3 list (Project 1, 2) - One of these games is a Wii game - Matt says there’s more from Capcom for Wii
    - Final Fantasy 6 and Crono Trigger on VC - Square Enix loves to remake games - don’t expect these titles on the VC anytime soon
    - Leaked Silicon Knights footage: Not sure about it, Matt forgot to ask a guy who he met from Silicon Knights
    - Publishers imposing limits on reviewers: Part of the industry but MGS4 situation was out of control
    - Daemon started playing Wii Fit, feeling it working, Bozon done with Wii Fit challenge - lost 21-22 lbs in 30 lbs (did other activities with Wii Fit)
    - Talk about hardcore gaming dying: Daemon doesn’t think it’s dying
    - Block Breaker Deluxe: Breakout, but with a pointer
    - Where are the Wii RPGs? - Tales of Symphonia coming out soon, others coming out soon
    - In Wii Fit, the trainers’ lips don’t move: Would have required 2 extra days of programming (joke) - Matt wishes you could modify the trainer’s look
