Wii Fit
- Best Buy: Wii Fit stands completely sold out
- GameStop: Same story
- Been on BBC news, MTV, Good Morning show, Ellen
- Matt believes that long term, Wii Fit will be huge - not sure if it can sell as much as GTAIV
- Amazon, retailers in general sold out
- Matt has Wii calisis on his palms
Emergency Heroes
- Straightforward racing game, semi-open world
- Decent physics system, good speed and controls
- Framerate jumps sometimes
- Voice-overs are awful
- Overall seems decent
Dr. Mario Online Rx
- Online mode is fun, but only two player
- Virus buster is great - use Wii pointer to grab pills, set up combo for other friend - not online
- Must-get WiiWare title
Wii hard drive rant
- Matt & Bozon complain a lot about storage problem
- Even if Nintendo doesn’t want to support SD cards, there are two USB ports for a hard drive
- Matt doesn’t know if there’s a solution coming
- Devs been saying that there’s no signs of hard drive in the future, has Matt disturbed
- Even nongamers are getting sick of storage situation
- In 6-7 months, even if someone doesn’t buy too many games, they’ll fill up their space
Reader questions
- In the future, third parties putting their top teams on Wii depends on sales, money. Will see more party games because they sell well.
- More internal support from Nintendo will be coming - Nintendo registered ASH (ESRB)
- Bozon will continue his WiiGetFit blog/experiment
- Matt & Bozon no nothing about Nintendo news at E3. 99% sure we’ll see Wii Music, Animal Crossing in some form, Kid Icarus, ASH, Super Mario Sluggers, maybe Disaster and Pikmin. Need to show off balance board title.
- Even with Guitar Hero downloadable content, Matt doesn’t think we’ll see a hard drive solution
- Timesplitters 4, if it’s a next-gen game, Wii will get a seperate game
- Matt thinks Sky Crawlers will come to US
- Beyond Good and Evil 2 - rumors it’s coming to Wii, nothing to confirm
- Mom’s whining about Wii Fit calling them fat: Will linger a bit
- No More Heroes sold “OK.” Not exceptional, but better than Japan. Don’t expect a sequel anytime soon.
- Madden 09 will probably have better graphics than on original Xbox. Models look great, fresh animation. Haven’t seen it face-to-face yet.
- Wii software situation is iffy: Do software sales include Wii Play? Also, Nintendo has a majority of the software sales.
- Ability to send free demos to friends is a good idea (Dr. Mario). Closest thing to a demo.
- Achievements should appear in more Wii games. Big deal for Bozon.
- Matt thinks we’ll see Wii Music this year
- The Conduit is a great offering for Wii owners - good controls (in theory), not a wartime shooter
- MadWorld wasn’t the game that was discussed in a previous podcast that was set for 2009
- Matt can’t talk about Capcom rumors
- World Ends With You team may create something for the Wii - Square Enix in general will be supporting the system
- Matt hasn’t seen footage of the Factor 5 game
- Confirmation of The Conduit multiplayer - Deathmatch teaser was referring to online component, multiplayer deathmatch. Devs. of The Conduit have been contacted by many publishers, but are taking their time so they can make the game they want to make. “Yes, we are planning on online multiplayer. We don’t yet know how many simultaneous players we’ll be able to support. The other thing folks seem to have a lot questions on the forumsfront is the lack of a publisher. For what it’s worth, we have no shortages of options now both large and small but we are taking our time. We have our own funding to entirely complete the game and it’s not that we don’t play well with others, we just want to be far enough along that someone doesn’t come along and monkey the whole thing up. We’ve worked on enough licensed titles that had the potential to be good but an arm-chaired quarterback came in and mandated a very bad direction. The further along we are, the less likely that is to happen. We really want The Conduit to be something special for the Wii and for us, you know?”
- Gyrostar release date: “Gyrostar is sitting in Nintendo’s hands and if I had to guess, I’d say June 16th. But if folks pester Nintendo, maybe they’ll be motivated to push it out sooner?”
- Matt wants to play more Boom Blox, complete No More Heroes, GTAIV, Bioshock, Uncharted. Bozon wants to play more SSX Blur, Godfather, Scarface, Ace Combat.
- Quantum 3 engine could be licensed to other developers.
- Mario Kart Wii has given hope for future online titles.
- Pre-E3 new game announcements happening now. Won’t hear about Nintendo until E3.
- Won’t get Prince of Persia caliber from Ubisoft, but will get some intriguing games. Red Steel 2 still in development.
- Guitar Hero On Tour: Hands on demo coming soon
- Nintendogs 2 will probably happen, possibly on Wii
- Monkey King - Bozon will review it in the near future
- Megaman 9 or Megaman Battle Network? Megaman 9
- Would like to see something based on Shadow of Colossus on Wii
TODAY, I ARE GOINGZ TO POST EVERYTHING IN CAPS, I DONT CARE ABOUT RULES AND IF YOU ARE AS HAPPY AS I AM FOR THIS NEWS, YOU SHOULD TOO. WOOTLOLZOMGWTFNOOOOOOOOOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 111111111111111

I'm not seeing this as confirmation so don't get to excited yet. I'm interested in the world ends with you comment but the president square recently said:
Quote:
So you enjoyed The World Ends With You? Too bad. You won't be seeing anything remotely like it from Square-Enix anytime soon, according to company president Yoichi Wada, who recently issued an ultimatum to his staff: if any games are made that don't fit into the mainstream's circle of interest, job cuts will follow. So long, unique concepts that break the mold!
This was supposedly part of a heated business meeting in which Square discussed the results of their 2007 fiscal year, which were none too sunny, showing general profits down 20 percent and taking the worst of it in overseas sales.
Business is business, but I have to say my heart sank when I read those words. If Square was doing anything I was excited to see, it was things outside the Final Fantasy spectrum, but financial troubles like this certainly excise any hope of experimental titles in the future (at least until the numbers improve). I'm glad to see the giant falter a bit, if only in hopes that the results will push them towards a more focused future.
Glad to hear they're taking their time with The Conduit, thats great.
And its just as I thought, Animal Crossing and Kid Icarus will be the bigger games shown at E3 no doubt. Hopefully they squeeze in some Pikmin stuff as well as a new Zelda teaser.

Matt has raved about Kid Icarus yet has said he hasn't seen the factor 5 game. Now add the fact that some of Factor 5's greatest games are space shooters such as star wars rouge squadron for the game cube then that leads us to believe it'll be star fox but if some of remember a while back Factor 5 said they're making a new Turrican game so yeah...My prediction is that the Factor 5 game is star fox or turrican.

Matt could be saying that though, hiding the real truth. Factor 5 is said to be working on something though, as well as Retro Studios. So it could be either one as Retro has some experience with the space stuff with Metroid Prime. They haven't done flying exactly, but I am sure they could do something like StarFox as well. Either way I just hope both games are coming soon, and we already know the Factor 5 game is said to be maximizing the Wii's hardware.
With that in mind though, Factor 5 could be making a Kid Icarus because they wanted to invest in the motion control stuff again and were rumored to be looking at pointing with the Wiimote to be some of the better motions. Its all just speculation right now and is a little crazy, but good stuff is on the way at least

Yeah, that's encouraging, but it's not confirmation of the feature. They're "planning" on it. It's better than them planning not to do it, but plans change. "Confirmation" is still pending.

I thought I heard in GameInformer or somewhere else than 3 or 4 of the top devs at Retro Studios left to start their own company. Did you hear this?? I think that would hurt them while working on something huge like Star Fox.

I heard they left yeah, but I also heard before and after though that some of the key people were still hard at work at something non Metroid. Retro isn't dead was what they were saying, and hinted at what they could be possibly be working on. I've heard two games from Retro, StarFox and a Zelda spin-off (or different Zelda altogether).
