But even then none of those titles are big name titles that will move more systems. Mario Sports games aren't anything all that great. AC, Pikmin, Star Fox, F-Zero are semi good titles but not nearly as big as the big 3 (Zelda, Mario, Metroid). Dunno, should be interesting, hopefully they have some surprise bigger than Wii Music or some shit.

I have no idea how to explain the coincidence in our threads, but I know we're the best entertainment journalist in TPWW.

Creating your own character in a Zelda MMO would be ideal. Plus we could still get Link's interaction in Hyrule from a third person perspective, building his legend (similar to Snake in MGS2). I imagine a huge rebuilt hub-world making up Hyrule with plenty of time wasting activities and monsters to slay. There shouldn't be a level system, I'd see the game as being more light hearted than other MMOs.

As for E3; bring on some Earthbound Nintendo!

PapaGeorgio 07-09-2008 03:10 PM

I don't know about a Zelda MMO, would be mad crazy. Although thinking bout it I guess parts could work with all the different species within the Hyrule world. Would just be weird, dunno. But doubt Nintendo would fuck up Zelda these days.

Animal Crossing Wii will be amazing. Should be MMO like, it has to be based around online play though. I want to be RDD's neighbor in it.

Ladies and gentleman, I present to you a game that is supposedly leaked and to be officially revealed at E3.
A game for the Wii and made by the people that brought you Chibi-Robo.
I present to you...
Captain Rainbow!

Thoughts?

Kalyx triaD 07-10-2008 02:27 AM

Easily the most homosexual game in history.

Expressive, though.

Extreme Angle 07-10-2008 04:00 AM

Looks pretty good tbh

Drakul 07-10-2008 05:39 AM

Some Captain Rainbow info, no source was given.
Quote:

The Captain Rainbow of the title is the alter ego of Nick, a typical geeky guy with a penchant for loud, flower-themed clothing. As the eponymous captain, he's a super-studly hero with a bunch of crazy fighting moves and a magic yo-yo to finish the bad guys off with, but his popularity with the kids just isn't there -- in fact, the ratings for his TV show are just about in the dumps. So Nick takes a trip to Mimin Island, a fabled land where it's said your wishes can come true -- but thanks to an unexpected turn of events, it's actually Captain Rainbow who has to help out all the island's inhabitants with their own wishes.
While it sounds interesting after reading that, I'm not going to judge one way or the other yet but with the name and slightly camp looking main character, I'm bracing myself for a whole bunch of gay parodies to appear on the internet soon.
Why does Birdo freak out every few seconds though and who wants to bet when it's redone in English Birdo will either have a female voice or just make those strange noises she usually makes?

More Nintendo games leaked before E3...

NGamer snippet…

And if all goes to plan (and our sources haven’t played a mean trick on us), that hands-on coverage will be of Animal Crossing and Punch-Out!! Wii, aka Nintendo’s great hopes for 2008.

Animal Crossing Wii

- game has been finished for awhile
- not an MMO
- heavy use of WFC

Punch-Out!! Wii

- balance board support for dodging/weaving
- Wiimote/Nunchuk boxing ala Wii Sports Boxing
Now I need to go buy the Balance Board...

PapaGeorgio 07-13-2008 03:03 PM

Very excited about Animal Crossing, look forward to hearing more about it. You all think Punch Out will be WiiWare game or what?

Drakul 07-13-2008 04:10 PM

Well it could be a "regular" game on a disc if they have enough modes and content.

Also, I've heard mention of Capcom working on a new F-Zero for the Wii but I haven't read anything from a decent source. Just on forums.

Jura 07-14-2008 09:35 AM

There's gonna be an Xbox with 60 GB for the old price of a 20GB ($349.99)

#BROKEN Hasney 07-14-2008 01:00 PM

MS conference in an hour and a half and the Too Human demo is out on Live :D

#BROKEN Hasney 07-14-2008 02:13 PM

Quote:

10:10 am PT: Nearby the entrance, a few cameras are aimed at some whiteboards, with attendees scribbling personalized messages to be transmitted to the central screen. "Wii sucks!" is the best some immature attendee could come up with. We quickly rub it out and draw an enormous and somewhat crooked penis.
lol

#BROKEN Hasney 07-14-2008 02:15 PM

10:14 am PT: "Xbox 360 street talk" plays on the screen, a brief montage of people (on the street) talking up their Xbox 360 experiences.

10:15 am PT: The people are quizzed on gaming lingo -- "newb," "pwned" and "melee." That last one's a place in Asia, apparently. "RPG?" "Road performance System." Weep for America.

KingofOldSchool 07-14-2008 02:25 PM

I heard Kid Icarus for the Wii is all but confirmed to be revealed at E3.

#BROKEN Hasney 07-14-2008 02:32 PM

10:32 am PT: Please welcome, Don Mattrick, senior vice president of the entertainment biz. He welcomes us to the home of "fun and entertainment for everyone" "Good morning everyone, it's my privilege to welcome all of you to E3. Welcome to Xbox 360 -- home to the biggest blockbusters... the biggest sellers on 360: GTA4, Halo 3, Assassin's Creed... we proved without a doubt that 360 delivers the biggest and best hits for gamers."

10:33 am PT: "Franchises like Rock Band, Guitar Hero... the success of these titles proves that Xbox can deliver to EVERYONE. The question we get every day is: can we deliver to our fiercely loyal fans while continuing to transform the industry? The answer is yes, and today we'll prove how."



Idiot, bar one game, the rest are all on PS3 as well

KingofOldSchool 07-14-2008 02:33 PM

FALLOUT

KingofOldSchool 07-14-2008 02:38 PM

MMMM I want Fallout like NOW

KingofOldSchool 07-14-2008 02:40 PM

Hell yeah shit loads of DLC!

KingofOldSchool 07-14-2008 02:40 PM

RE 5!

KingofOldSchool 07-14-2008 02:43 PM

lol nice teamwork

#BROKEN Hasney 07-14-2008 02:43 PM

0:37 am PT: "You just saw the first half of a trailer that will debut online in just a few hours and on Xbox Live... when we did Oblivion on the 360, we took a lot of risks and learned a lot. We've taken all that learning and applied it to Fallout 3...." Demoing the game, controller disconnected. "I'm good..." A ruined Washington DC is our first sight, with a third-person camera switching to first person as a floating robot whizzes by The PIPboy 3000 is shown (it's on your wrist!) and Todd examines his stats and his "ridiculously violent" weapons

10:39 am PT: You can play stealthily, aggressively and... oh, Todd has gone for the aggressive route. He pulls out a rifle, and targets the body parts of a nearby enemy. He fires a shot, with a slow-mo shaky cam shot showing limbs exploding violently. We're going to like this game. Some cute marching band music plays in the background, rendering a truly surreally violent encounter. Todd switches to a laser rifle and targets the torso of another enemy. Pow, splatter, smile.

10:40 am PT: The world's scale is enormous, with dilapidated strcutures and roads covering the entire field of view. Todd whips out a rocket launcher and wreaks havoc, followed by an EMP grenade which shuts down a robotic baddie.

10:41 am PT: "You can be a good person, a bad person and anyone in-between. A helicopter lands, kicking up dust. The "fatman," a mini nuclear bomb catapult is the response. The camera follows the warhead in slow-mo all the way to its destination. "It's a pretty effective weapon."

10:42 am PT: "I just wanted to say how much we love XBLM... we'll be doing substantial exclusive 360 and Games For Windows downloadable content. Thank you!" Jun Takeuchi, producer of RE5 is up. He's sporting an awesome Umbrella sweater. The world's first playable demo is about to be shown


PLEASE LET THAT RE5 DEMO BE ON LIVE!

lol, sure was

10:44 am PT: The game's director takes the controller, guiding Chris through a grimy abandoned building. He takes out a couple of enemies, with each shot sending them recoiling in a fairly believable way. The graphics are looking sharp -- and bright. Thanks, African sun.

10:45 am PT: The online co-op mode is confirmed, with another player taking control of Sheva, Chris' female companion. She collects some healing items, leaps down into a building and takes out those pesky not-zombies with a well-placed shot to -- of course -- an exploding barrel. While she has her hands full, Chris snipes from a distance, reducing enemy heads to clouds of red mush. Now that's teamwork!

KingofOldSchool 07-14-2008 02:47 PM

Fable II now

#BROKEN Hasney 07-14-2008 02:47 PM

10:46 am PT: (By the way, leaked news)

* Portal: Still Alive, Lips, Uno Rush, Galaga Legions to be announced at Microsoft Press Conference
* Microsoft's Lips supports motion-sensitive wireless mics
* Portal: Still Alive heading to Xbox Live Arcade
* Galaga: Legions goes to XBLA, from Pac-Man CE team

KingofOldSchool 07-14-2008 02:48 PM

Aww how cute a dog.

Now Co-Op on Live. :eek:

#BROKEN Hasney 07-14-2008 02:50 PM

10:49 am PT: Peter Molyneux is up from Lionhead to talk Fable II. "Fable II is finished! All that innovation and drama has come together, and I'm going to share with you a few moments. ... we tried to put a lot of creativity and invention into the RPG." Demo video time.

10:51 am PT: His lugubrious voice confirms it: Fable 2 is finished. The opening moments begin to play. A bird soars through a winter-gripped forest, with castles looming in the distance. The bird flies across a sprawling town, with people walking about doing... well, fantasy world type things. The bird lands on a tower and promptly poops on a character down below. You're the little kid who just got an unpleasant surprise from the sky. We're shown the world of Albion. The hero and his doggy companion stand in a thick forest. Online co-op is here, with a new "twist."

KingofOldSchool 07-14-2008 02:50 PM

Yay I can get drunk in Fable! WOOOO

KingofOldSchool 07-14-2008 02:51 PM

So Fable II is actually a Sims RPG?

KingofOldSchool 07-14-2008 02:51 PM

Gears of War II

KingofOldSchool 07-14-2008 02:52 PM

Fable II this October

#BROKEN Hasney 07-14-2008 02:53 PM

10: 52 am PT: "I want to show you the ability to play in coop mode over Xbox live..." there are orbs that wander around the scenery, Fable II players in single-player mode, can invite them to the game. "Why? Your hero, your world is unique to you... we've got a dynamic landscape that changes, you want to invite people in!" Little orbs represent your friends playing their single-player games -- inviting them into the game is a matter of walking up to the orbs and pulling them into your game. Just like that, no lobbies.

10:53 am PT: Your world and character is unique to your game, so friends can hang out (or fight) in each other's worlds. Peter is taking his friend to his house to meet his wife and son. "It's the things that other games don't do... hang out in the bar and get drunk, chat people up, there' a whole wealth of things you can do. One of the things you can do is get married. ... I'm not a rich adventurer, but I've got a lovely family life, there's my son, and my coop buddy can interact with them. (My wife actually likes belching, by the way.)"

10:54 am PT: They stand in a quaint room, one soon filled with burping characters. The friend can even chat up Peter's wife, he notes. Oh, and one last bit of news: It's out in October (this year!)

#BROKEN Hasney 07-14-2008 02:55 PM

10:55 am PT: A new clip plays. It's Gears of War 2, and we see Marcus and Dom in a bad place. Bad place referring to an underground cavern overrun with locust of all shapes and sizes. Marcus, with Locust shield in hand, runs straight into the madness.

10:56 am PT: Oh, it's Cliff Bleszinski. He's excited about the locust's return, and he's about to show off the 2-player co-op mode. Time to mow down some locust

Another co-op mode? I SEE A THEME

#BROKEN Hasney 07-14-2008 02:56 PM

10:57 am PT: Marcus walks towards an enormous (huge!) sinkhole, one that's swallowed chunks of an entire city. Yeah, these graphics aare impressive. A great sense of scale and... uh oh. Marcus is fighting a gladiatorial, mace-swinging creep. Once he's gone, the hammer of dawn takes out a couple of reavers

#BROKEN Hasney 07-14-2008 02:59 PM

10:58 am PT: A locust attackes with a flamethrower, which Marcus promptly scoops up and uses to raost enemies to a crisp

11:00 am PT: More grappling hooks show up, and a stream of locusts launches an attack. Dust and rubble is everywhere. A Brumak shows up, with its shots from down below making the entire building break apart and shake

KingofOldSchool 07-14-2008 02:59 PM

GOW II a few weeks before Thanksgiving

#BROKEN Hasney 07-14-2008 03:00 PM

11:01 am PT: Marcus and dom escape the collapsing building in a busted elevator. On the other side of the door is a brumak. The entire building is sideways, and Marcus and Dom make their way through several windows and doors, trying to get around the Brumak

#BROKEN Hasney 07-14-2008 03:01 PM

11:02 am PT: "If they can ride them, so can we." Brumak riding? Sign us up. The demo ends. A new mode is called "Horde," a five-player co-op mode taking on waves and waves of locust. "Also, another announcement I have today -- a new mode. It's called horde, up to 5 players can take on wave after wave of increasingly difficult locust. It will be available November 7th worldwide exclusively on Xbox 360."

Fable 2: October
GOW2: November

Fuck me that's a couple of good months.

Destor 07-14-2008 03:03 PM

KingofOldSchool 07-14-2008 03:06 PM
