IGN Wii-k in review podcast summary

By  • 

THQ Dan Ryan (associate game designer) on podcast
– Could see another Smackdown game next year
– Matt thinks it’d be crazy, since usually, it’s not considered a yearly franchise
– Bozon thinks first game was a great first step for the franchise
– Fun, great first effort
– Impossible to put in all modes, etc in first game for Wii plus motion controls with no problem
– Ryan says they read reviews, take everything into account
– Can’t confirm/deny there’s another game in the works
– May want to change the game to add more interaction
– Ryan knows fans had like it, but had bigger expectations, went to casual-gaming pick up and play audience
– Anyone could play, have fun with it immediately
– Mii functionality could be taken further – Ryan loves the Wii features, weather channel can be used, mail from characters, etc.

– During the podcast, Matt and Bozon are always shirtless
– Event like last year at Wrestlemania – may get more official news there
– More interesting guests on the show in the future – Ryan exits

Happy Wiikend

Wow! What a crazy morning down here in GA. We are getting our second snow in a week, we are lucky to just get one a year. For this Wiikend post I thought to do something different then a pic. Last Tuesday I ran across a piece that Mat from IGN wrote on his blog, ” Disturbing Wii Trend.” I think this is probably the best thing I have ever read of his, very thought provoking. I saved it for the Wiikend because I thought it would be a good discussion topic we could have all Wiikend. So please leave your comments a tell us what you think. Hit the jump to read “Disturbing Wii Trends”
