New information tidbits have broke from the September issue of Nintendo Power. In addition to Rayman and Red Steel features, here are the main points of interest via Go Nintendo:
- Nintendo Power hopes for a House of the Dead and Spore title for the Wii. They also confirm that Trauma Center: Second Opinion is a launch title.
- Ubisoft’s Ancel on Wii’s Graphics: “In terms of visuals, if it’s fluid, if you can understand the picture, that’s enough… The hardware capabilities aren’t a limitation. It’s more a question of coming up with new ideas than worring about technical specifications. With the Wii, it’s all about having fun.”
- The October issue of Nintendo Power will have a feature on Metroid Prime 3 and as to why it will change the FPS genre forever.
- Nintendo Power speculates that you might be able to expand your DS games to the TV Screen (similar to GBA Player?) with the Wii.
Bunnies. theres a toon on my WoW surver named bunnie
Ya know.. I was just thinking about having AC:WW on my TV. I want that.
Hmmm, in House of the Dead 4 you have to shake off zombie and reload by physically moviing your gun. Sounds like a perfect game for the Wii, and no expensive perephials either!
Hmmm… "Similar to GBA Player", but vastly different… as in, how would they display the two screens, and how would you control the touch screen? The Wii-mote can't be used as a stylus on the TV screen!
@ InvisiblemanYes the Wiimote could! Nunchuk controller acts as DS d-pad, nunchuk shoulder button plus Wiimote B-button act as DS L and Rs, Wiimote d-pad acts as DS face buttons. Use the touch screen by pointing and holding down the A button (or the other shoulder button on the nunchuk). So holding down the button would be like making contact with the screen.As for the two screen part, well you could display reduced size versions of the screens on a single TV screen (so much bigger than the actual DS screen, but smaller than the available space on the TV).This would be a great little addition. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we were to find out DS and GBA functionality was built into the Wii?
No, No ,No…You'll still have to use your DS, but it'll act more like a controller then a handheld when you play a DS that conects with a Wii game.This is what Shiggy wanted with the GBA/GC, but it'll work this time because:1)Everyone has a DS.2) No expensive add ons to buy, everything is already built in.3) People already own games that would be on both systems. So I wouldn't be surprize if Animal Crossing Wild World, Nintendogs, Pokemon: Diamond and Pearl, Trauma Center, and Spores all communicate with their Wii counterparts is larger ays then we can imagine.
