I think Wario Ware is supposed to come out somewhere around December over here...nothing has been said about Wii Play in America, as far as I know.
ant1532 said:
i'm just curious, not because i plan on getting either but just i'm just wondering what the mindset was behind Nintendo deciding to allocate certain titles for certain territories... like, if Wario Ware is in Europe already it should be in English which means why isn't it ready for America? If Wii Play is coming out in every territory, why did the US get left out?
It seems the decisions were almost entirely arbitrary.
According to "insert the Gaf Member name I forgot here" when he was at the Wii Event in New York he was playing Wii Play(wii party, my first wii, whatever you wanna call it) Reggie came and asked him along with a Nintendo rep or somethin if he liked the game, and would he buy it. He said they were not even planning on releasing it here in the States but "insert the Gaf Member name I forgot here" said he liked it and Reggie said would you pay 40 for it, and "insert the Gaf Member name I forgot here" said "30 and now we're talkin." Good decision on his partAmir0x said:

IMO, they do that so they can cycle the games in each territory. Doing so will keep the game appear to be new to casual and non-gamers of each territory. Basically they keep the flow of the games without having to rush a new game to the market because there is a gap. It's a safe play from Nintendo, they learn from GC.

Alright guys, when does TGS start? I'm guessing we'll get more REWii details then, and possibly some pics. Also, I wonder if Sega or maybe even Capcom will have som suprises?
We can hope can't we!

We really should be demanding that Twilight Princess have a GCN controller option on Wii. If SSBB can do it, there's no reason that this shouldn't. If anything, more people might be inclined to buy the wii.
After making us wait this long, it's the least they can do.

Still more to come i reckon.VOOK said:
As stated channels are still missing on the main Wii site, and if it was for VC and stuff, it'd already be up, as we know all about them. Unless they really are BETA testing Wii online system between end of September and mid October as reported, before they release all the details on it, just incase it goes screwy.

They do have a GCN controller option to play Zelda on wii: It's called the GCN version of the game! If you want to play Zelda on Wii but not with the Wiimote, what's the point of even getting the Wii version....civilstrife said:

Great question. All I know is if they bring it out after launch, only bundled with a remote when I just got done buying an extra remote the first day, I'll be pissed.
Running the game in widescreen for one, and not needing to use a GC memory card. I'm planning to play the game using the Wiimote, but my girlfriend would rather use the GC controller because she suffers from wrist pains. It is pretty strange that they don't allow the controller option.Grok4Spock said:

I'd rather have it for $50 w/ extra wiimote, like it is in Europe and Japan. That way, the game essentially costs only $10.ant1532 said:
Also, should we expect anything from Nintendo at TGS? It makes sense to me that these Wii3 events would focus more on the system-related details, while TGS would make a great forum to give us glimpses of SSBB, etc., and maybe give online infos.
i'm definitely concerned about twilight princess's controls on wii since the reports are mixed. the main thing is the sword fighting, it would be a shame to have the game spoiled by clumsy wiimote controls.
anyway, no online gossip for me on this one, decided to buy both versions and find out for myself.

When I played Zelda at the press con last week, I found the controls to be spot on. I had no issues picking off enemies with the arrow, and when I using the sword, I just shook my wrist on my right hand and the sword did what I wanted it to do... and when I shook my left hand, he did the spin move...
Seriously, I saw people who were like pointing the wiimote at the same level as the enemies in the game, like the arrow was a light gun... I just left my hands at my waist, and like I said, I was picking off some enemies who were on the other side of the level, like I was a sniper... very solid control
People are saying pricing, etc. has made the Wii a no-sale. Yeah right. 360 tard pack stopped you and other? Horse armour stopped you and others? $600 PS3 gonna stop you and others? Just like people seem to diss the GCN but look at every "gaming setup" pic and you always see a GCN and many other Nintendo cosoles/handhelds along with the XBOX & PS2. You know you are gonna buy a Wii. Maybe not at launch but you will. Just like the DS design & power turned people off but the masses are clamoring for it and developers who missed the initial "boat" are now throwing everything they can on it. So enough with the negative "I am not buying it posts".
Nice, could you tell what all the controls were?aparisi2274 said:
I know these (I think):
Motion - slash
1/2 buttons - items/map
A - context sensitive
B - Arrow shooting
D-pad - Items
C - Cam control?
Z - Z-lock?
Am I forgetting something? What's up with cam controls/crouching/first person view/anything I forgot?
Thanks in advance.

I think his point was that people bitch about pricing on things all the time, yet it has not stopped any of those things from selling extremely well. Horse armor especially. Everyone rushed to cry foul on the internet but in the meantime they were selling loads of it. Those are all cases where the market has accepted prices some thing are unfair, and Wii will be no different.
Even if you think Wii is a rip-off at $250, it's immaterial. If Nintendo is successful at communicating their message and marketing it correctly, they are going to have no problems selling the machine at that price to the mass market that isn't you.

TiVo and SuperPac - talking about sales in general
donny2112 - talking about sales to individuals
Ok.
And what's the difference? These are cases where individuals endlessly bitched about price but it didn't matter -- those things sold anyway, it was proven the prices for those items were acceptable to the market. Wii is not going to be much different. Or if it is and the market rejects the price, the price will fall to where the market will accept the price. But it's foolish to think any of the pricing on Wii is "wrong." The market will decide, and messageboard bitching is often not indicative of where the masses will head.

TiVo: People are saying pricing, etc. has made the Wii a no-sale. Yeah right. 360 tard pack stopped you and other? Horse armour stopped you and others? $600 PS3 gonna stop you and others?
My response (paraphrased): The individuals saying that the Wii's price is making them hold off on buying one are not the same people who have a 360 and/or are buying a PS3 at launch.
i.e. My response was on the individual's level. Some individuals have made a decision to hold off on the Wii, until the price drops or a better offer comes around.
You: They're still gonna sell-out!
That's not what was being discussed by me, at all.
Can you see the difference now?
This is more or less what I've been trying to get across. TSA's going to have some problems for the shear mastery he has over the old school controls and the fact that there is a lack of button-pressing-precision when you're waggling to attack. But there's no question a mouse in 3d space is way better for aiming than an analogue stick.aparisi2274 said:
Now if only I knew how they were going to fix the problem of moving, turning, and aiming for proper fpses. Moving the target to the side of the screen is probably unacceptable, but maybe they could add some sort of lock position button so you can recenter the wiimote, as if you had picked up a mouse or something. This would work very well for me, but I'm not sure how others would handle it.
Amazon lists the launch line-up as follows... and i'm sure they get their stuff from Nintendo's PR
* The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
* Excite Truck
* Trauma Center: Second Opinion
* Madden NFL 07
* Need for Speed: Carbon
* Elebits
* Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz
* Metal Slug Anthology
* Rayman: Raving Rabids
* Red Steel
How accurate is that?
