UN Spacy Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Lucasarts FINALLY drops some news on their new Star Wars game for the Wii. http://wii.ign.com/articles/820/820763p1.html September 18, 2007 - Ever since Nintendo unveiled its new videogame console, players have fantasized about the possibility of an original Star Wars game in which the Wii remote would effectively become a Jedi's lightsaber. It's taken publisher LucasArts much longer than expected, but on Tuesday it revealed that it is indeed working on a project that will make use of Nintendo's controller in exactly that fashion. A Wii iteration of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed will, according to the company, give players "… the chance to live out their fantasies by wielding the Wii remote as a lightsaber while using the nunchuk controller to torment foes with their Force powers."

Apollo Leader Posted September 21, 2007 Author Share Posted September 21, 2007 (edited) Fixed! My comment about the Wii was legit. Ever since the system came out, so many of the games (by many of the 3rd party companies, not just Lucas Arts) have been watered down versions of games that look light years better on the 360 and PS3 and the only stand out is that they have the Wiimote functions tacked on.

Radd Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 I'm not saying that there aren't plenty of cheap ports with Wii controls shoddily shoehorned in, but your comment painted a broader stroke than that. LucasArts is especially notorious for lazy licensed cash-ins, and that says something when "lazy cash-ins" is nearly synonymous with "licensed games". On the other hand, there are plenty of Wii games that aren't cheap ports with motion controls hastily added as an afterthought. Your comment implied otherwise. Narrowing it down to LucasArts, or hell down to licensed games, and it becomes a lot more "legit". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously Nintendo themselves are going to put out some truly 1st class material and some others out there do a decent job and as time goes by better uses of the Wii's motion sensitive controllers will occurr. But for now, a lot of stuff on the Wii appears to be just after thoughts by some of these game companies to make a quick buck off of the Wii's popularity... the new Cruis'n game by Midway is one of best examples and biggest offenders.

UN Spacy Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Link returns from The Legend of Zelda®: Twilight Princess to pick up the Wii Zapper and take aim at a host of targets in this shooting-gallery-style game. * Anyone can pick up the Wii Zapper and become a master marksman in the quick-play shooting galleries of Link's Crossbow Training. Dozens of fast-paced stages offer a wide variety of game play, from shooting stationary targets to defending a supply wagon from onrushing hordes of enemies. Multiplayer modes let players and their friends share a Wii Zapper to shoot for the high score. * Link's Crossbow Training comes bundled with the Wii Zapper. After a few rounds of Link's Crossbow Training, players will be more than ready to pick up any of the future Wii Zapper titles, like Medal of Honor Heroes™ 2, Ghost Squad™ and Resident Evil®: The Umbrella Chronicles. Using the Wii Zapper: The Wii Zapper requires the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, housing both in a comfortable and intuitive frame. The control stick on the Nunchuk controls player movement (on stages that allow player movement), while simply aiming the Wii Zapper moves the targeting reticule on the screen. Pulling the trigger fires Link's crossbow. By aiming off screen, players can turn Link to face in a new direction (again, on stages that allow this). Link's Crossbow Training contains three basic game styles: target shooting, defender and ranger. There are 27 stages in total, and these categories represent only generally how each individual stage operates. Each stage's goal is to earn the highest score possible within the time limit. All rounds can be played with multiple players: Players pass the Wii Zapper around and then play one at a time and compete for the high score. Target Shooting: In target-shooting rounds, players shoot bull's-eyes as they pop up on the screen. In early stages, targets are stationary. As the game difficulty increases in later levels, the targets move. Hitting the center of the bull's-eye nets more points, and hitting targets in succession without missing earns combo multipliers. Link can aim anywhere on the screen. Defender: In defender rounds, players remain stationary but can look and aim in all directions - sometimes even in a full 360 degrees - by aiming off screen. Hordes of enemies assault Link, and he must fight them off. These battles have a great deal of variety, from fighting off skeletons in a desert to defending a wagon from boar-riding Bokoblins. Ranger: In ranger rounds, players can move throughout the level using the control stick and aim anywhere they want by aiming the Wii Zapper wherever they want to look. In these missions, Link storms enemy encampments, fights his way through a forest and seeks out his foes while exploring the environments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radd Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Speaking of great looking original titles for the Wii, there's more out on No More Heroes. Unfortunately looks like they changed the voice acting.

jwinges Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Heads up. In this sunday's Kolhs ad there is a ad for 30% off all video games. Even though my local one's don't carry PS3 titles, the circuit city I go to honored the ad and gave me 30% off of heavenly sword and Dynasty warriors gundam. I didn't even have to fight for it...also the kid checking me out says "Nice find...I guess I'll have to get some game with this too." I'm sure it would work for the Wii too.

Batou Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I finally got a Wii last week and thought I'd add my $.02 ... I can't get over how cool this thing is. So far I'm just completely blown away. I'm simultaneously slogging through Metroid and Zelda, and it's instantly nailed home why I've owned every Nintendo console since the NES. I'll still pick up a PS3 at some point (assuming they ever bring the price down to something reasonable) just for Metal Gear, Final Fantasy, et al, but I can't imagine passing up Miyamoto-stamped first party Nintendo goodness. My only gripe is leveled at Amazon for taking so *(&$#^% long to ship my component video switcher so I don't have to unplug this thing to hook up my dvd player.

Hikuro Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I just picked up Bleach the other night for my Wii....I didn't get into Metroid like I was hoping and considering my days as a hard core gamer have come to an end cause of long hours at work, so semi short and to the point games are what I want to play for now. Bleach isn't bad, neat graphics like the show, fast pace combat and can get pretty tricky. What I dislike is the fact you can achieve bankai very easily, just build up your guage and shake the nunchuck and walah! While in the DS version, you gotta do a combo to get it and I'm still mastering it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metal_Massacre_79 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Speaking of Twilight Princess, Zelda is probably the second most popular series for Nintendo (with Mario being the first). This title rakes in a ton of cash for Nintendo, but they couldn't hire some voice over artists to give this game some extra depth? Something more than the random "HEEEEEEeeeyyyyy" that a few characters yell out, or the incoherent noises that some of the others make. The game is cool and all, but this was really disappointing.

jwinges Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 So I picked up Bleach- Shattered Blade. Its not bad. I really like the controls and the action is fast and furious. It does take long to win the game with one character in episode mode but there are many (I'd say at least 20) character's to open and beat episode mode with each one. BTW the background for the episode is a bit hoakie but they fit it into the storyline nicely. Also, for those that aren't watching the series in japanese it doesn't go too far ahead of where cartoon network is at. Gameplay works with a series of flicks with the wii-mote and movemet by the nunchuck. Three levels of attacks for each of chop, slash, and stab. Then there is also bunkai moves. They also added a little mini-game that can occur when their is a "clash" of two A-button attacks. Its basically a 5-round game of rock, scissors, paper using chop, slash, and stab. Winner gets to deal out the damage measured in win margin. So far I really like the game. Don't expect the level of play that's in the PSP games but is quick mindless fun with a shallow learning curve. Anybody could pick this up and offer a decent challenge within 15 minutes of play...making it hella fun when having friends over to play against. I give is a 9/10 when considering what else we've seen for the wii. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metal_Massacre_79 Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 According to that it looks like I'm part of the minority. The Wii has been our main system for a while now.
