IGN Voice Chat Podcast Summary Ep. 39

By  •  Wii

A Boy & His Blob

– Made by “some crappy developer”
– They knew about it, but couldn’t say anything
– Put up a video today
– If you love games like Murasama you’ll like this
– History lesson about the NES game
– Correlation between Aladdin Genesis and this game. I’m not really paying attention so I don’t know what it is.
– Wario Land opened the door for 2D games on Wii

Punch-Out!!

– They’re glad about classic style controls.
– Punch-Out!! is all about pattern recognition and they don’t want to deal with inaccurate motion controls.
– Only problem is that the game may not be fine-tuned for the NES controls.
– Has to be like the NES game, has to be single player based.
– Other problem is that it may be Punch-Out 3D, they want them to lengthen the game somehow to be worth it.
– One of them wants a new Fight Night for Wii.
– The new guy on the box art is named “Spaz McTwist” (lol)
– They want there to be a guy who’s so hard to beat, not to “casualize” it.
– Sure that Next Level doesn’t want to be known as the guys who ruined Punch Out.

ExciteBots

– Looks like ExciteTruck except without trucks.
– ExciteTruck got a bad rap at launch by most people, but it was really fun.
– They like the turtle robot.
– Excitebike 64 should come to VC in preparation
– ExciteTruck has more legs than most Wii games in that they can still play it today.
– Talking about the NP preview.
– Glad it has online, hope for MP3/AAC support.
