First, it's Australian. Second, I've had a chance to preview the game and it's AMAZING fun with a brilliant soundtrack, colourful graphics and tight gameplay.

In fact, the success of the original <EM>Carnival Games</EM> itself may validate Nintendo's strategy here.<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure how much harder Nintendo needs to work to prove they're no longer targeting hardcore gamers before we'll start to believe them.Mitch Krpatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15987162934932391765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074451.post-77263743247657153432008-09-04T12:01:00.000-04:002008-09-04T12:01:00.000-04:00Don't forget Gamepots.com and Gameopts.com - good ...Don't forget Gamepots.com and Gameopts.com - good resources both.<BR/><BR/>I'm with you on the dismal outlook for the Wii. The last game I was looking forward to was the Strong Bad game, which wasn't even a boxed release, and now I gaze into the future and only see what Yahtzee called "an empty bucket made of air." It's not a good sign when an incredibly pedestrian-looking title like <I>The Conduit</I> is generating the buzz that it is, only because it's on the Wii and not the 360/PS3 sidelines.<BR/><BR/>Maybe WiiWare is the silver lining here (Sam and Max gives me hope, but I'm not exactly excited for it, and anyway it's already on PC), but the rest of that cloud hanging over the Wii is big and dark indeed.Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10665823669624714322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074451.post-10183218588776928682008-09-04T11:21:00.000-04:002008-09-04T11:21:00.000-04:00I'm not sure.

For all the derision that the hardcore faction is heaping on it, <I>Wii Music</I> might move a lot of units this fall, selling mostly to casual fans who don't want to shell out the dough for <I>Rock Band</I> or <I>Guitar Hero</I> peripherals. The positive vibe off <I>Tales of Vesperia</I> and fond memories of its Gamecube predecessor may turn <I>Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World</I> into a big hit. Glancing over the release list I see a new Crash game. I've also heard that <I>Fatal Frame IV</I> is due in October, although it's not on those lists.<BR/><BR/>There are a number of games that could be big, and it's still a bit early to worry. Still, the failure of even the quality titles to build much buzz ahead of time is a little troubling. Even more troubling is that 90% of the titles on the Wii release list look like trashy casual-gamer cash-ins making a quick stop on shelves en route from the shovel to the bargain bin. The sheer fatigue brought on by rummaging through the muck to find a quality game <I>will</I> eventually hurt the Wii, even in the casual market.Sparkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10444352252473400411noreply@blogger.com
