Issue 22...

I pretty much knew most of the announced changes (propel to kd for gravity) were going to come after launch. Which is unfortunate, but is the situation we are in.

So no cool new games then?


Sorry just having fun at my expense...I think I'm "done" with consoles...no friends to play games with locally (my friends are all married and/or have kids in addition to that...or just don't play games like I do) and usually don't care for multiplayer online..."party games" is what is left of the Wii it seems...


Haven't purchased a Wii game since the Metroid trilogy combo pack (and that technically wasn't a new game )....still haven't finished Metroid 2 yet either...

*shrugs*

ME was incredible, if for nothing else, try it out JUST so that you can get to the part where you open up the galactic map and start planning out how you're going to explore the galaxy. I guarantee you, it will be an eye-opening experience. It's still my favorite moment out of all of the series so far. I have no idea if there's a demo but if there is, you can probably get that far.

*thinks about the first book* No..I am pretty sure that "death Incarnate" is a pretty good theme.

The 'big three' of the Wii, Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Story and Pandora's Tower are probably some of the best games on that console. Xenoblade Chronicles sparked a huge deal when NoA didn't have interest to localize it at first that gaming sites were telling you how to hack your Wii to bypass region locking.

But if you're looking for an Action/RPG game, those would be the best ones to look forward to.

Sounds like you picked the wrong console if you're a single non-parent looking for a steady stream of games that would interest adults. Nintendo's gaming systems have been called "family consoles" since the original Playstation was released. Don't get me wrong, I love my Wii... but I haven't even turned it on since beating Skyward Sword, and prior to that, New Super Mario Bros (when it first launched in 2009).

As for not liking "multiplayer," I generally don't like competitive multiplayer games either, but I have a great time playing co-op games on Xbox Live with my friends. I certainly don't want to jump on a Halo deathmatch with a bunch of trash-talking preteens, either.

Hear hear.

Even if that means never. I'm patient and stubborn.

I will probably be playing Crusader Kings II on the 6th... the Duke of Pommeria has expansion plans!

not to go off topic, but have you tried rayman origins? its multiplat, but i have it for the wii and am enjoying it, and it is deliciously co-op multiplayer. also am really looking forward to last story as well, now all we need is pandora's tower.

honestly, i think trying to dodge a big release is a pointless game. like i said, since august with deus ex h.r., there has been some major console rpg or action rpg release every single month, outside of january, and im probably forgetting something there. and after this month there is xenoblade next month and dragon dogma. im still chugging on dark souls(ceaseless discharge is a jerk), still chugging on amalur, heck, looking forward to playing the sky pirates expansion for two worlds, but havent even gotten to dl that, and still not through the dlc for me2, so i dont see myself diving right into me3 just out of sheer reality. and bethesda released the creation kit for skyrim and i already saw 5 mods i gotta have...

there is no neutral release time for coh, but i have been playing coh for nearly 8 years now and am subscribed till war witch gets a restraining order on me, so its not a big deal.

Oh get over it. It doesn't matter what time they publish it, the Earth is round and there will always be people in the timezones ahead of the chosen publish timezone.

He didn't say anything about a weekend update.

Not if you work overnight shifts.

Just like the 1960s Batman TV series not getting to DVD...

It's round LIKE A PIZZA!

So THAT'S what happened to the fifth elephant!

I'm going to save ME1,2 and 3 (and 4, 5 and 6 if they happen) until i retire. I hear they need a bit of commitment, and I can't be bothered right now.

Ah, I remember the days when i could play a Final Fantasy game for a week without leaving my flat...

Oh I play "kiddie" games and what not but...unfortunately it seems like most developers are just developing "gimmicky" games for the wii instead of games that may or may not use the "gimmicks" of motion control.


I just remember being "sold" on the Wii when Reggie Fils-Anime (?) was speaking and touting that the Wii will ship with a new Mario, Zelda, Metroid and a new title called H.A.M.M.E.R.

The Hammer game looked sweet, everything else looked good...pre-ordered the Wii (yes, yes, don't believe in marketing but...they did their job and sold me on it ) and "oh, oops, schedule delays...we couldn't ship out anything we promised on...except a Gamecube remake of Zelda!"

And I don't particularly like buying Wii (console in general) games...I buy them, beat the single player and then never touch them again (for the most part). For example, I bought New Super Paper Mario Bros (? whatever it was called, the newest paper mario one).

Was it a fun game?! Yep! Did I finish it in like 16 hours and then never touch it again? Yes. After I beat it (no I didn't get 100% completion rate but I don't care about that since it doesn't really "unlock" anything new...not counting "playing as Luigi!") I just returned it to Gamestop for like 5 bucks


The only game(s) I usually buy would be the Madden NFL franchise games but to be honest, I stopped buying them with Madden '09 (08?)...

I figured it was the last "real" game when the EA devs actually tried to make the Wii graphics look good but now the new Madden games are all cartoony....blech. Not even trying anymore EA? Fine, no money from me. Plus the amount of bugs in the game (even in 09) that weren't fixed from 08 was ridiculous.

Sorry now I'm ranting a bit...I'll stop

*shrugs*

Well, we already knew Beast Mastery wasn't from War Witch's producer letter a couple days ago.

... But now we know that not only is Staff Fighting not launching alongside i22, but it's also not going to be out in March.

What lead you to believe they were? They said repeatedly that neither would release with I22.

But war Witch said Beast Mastery is coming out this month anyway so, not with I22 but only a few weeks off.

I don't blame you, they only said that constantly multiple times.
