Although it could be a hoax, It appears that the next true Pokémon title could be called Pokémon Platinum rather than Pokémon Opal.None of this stuff is actual confirmed, but it all seems legit. Apparently a scan has serfaced of the upcoming issue of CoroCoro. But some of my previous predictions may be true, It appears that Giratina will be in another form, some calling it the “Origin Form”. Some other rumors are coming in but I’m going to wait to post them along with my opinions until we get some better confirmations.
Notice anything special in the picture? The unmistakable new orange Pay And Play Logo is found in the corner of the Samba de Amigo boxart. Samba de Amigo is a party game that focuses on music. Hopefully the Pay and Play charge will be to pay for new music, and not for just for playing online.
Samba de Amigo is the only game I have yet to see with the little Pay and Play logo on the cover, so it may be the first Wii game to ship as a game that charges for online service. Game Stop list the game as shipping on “8/19/2008″, so will have to wait to see what the content is that requires the Pay and Play service.
Nintendo’s Wi-Fi Connection has always been free to use on the Wii and Nintendo DS. But it now sounds like Nintendo will be charging people to play online for some games. “Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection Pay And Play” is what they’re calling it. To avoid mix-ups, Nintendo will replace the blue Nintendo Wi-Fi Logo with a red “Pay And Play” Logo.
Now either Nintendo is planning for support for MMORPGs (which would justify a Nintendo needing money to support the large servers required) or Nintendo is getting greedy. I will not be paying for Online Games on the Wii, unless they charge like 2 points a month. How about you?
February 11, 2008 was the day Level 5’s Professor Layton and the Curious Village came out in the US. Since then, people that have bought this game have been having issues. The same issue has been occurring, you try to download the new puzzle Level 5 and Nintendo put out every week, and at half-way you get disconnected. Of course, in the Nintendo Tech Support Forums people were asking and telling the same exact thing, and thats when it was found out that it was not a problem with specific people, but with the game. Fortunately, this should be fixed, as an administrator over at the forum said he would look into it.
Hello, and thank you for reporting this. We are looking into the situation and will post a reply here when we know more.
Medal of Honor Heroes 2, has had some problems with inaccurate details on the box in couple of regions. First, when I bought Medal of Honor: Heroes 2, the box said the game offered a four player split screen and multiplayer arcade modes, which it did not, I wasn’t contacted for a refund, but then again I didn’t register the game. And I bought the game for it’s online, and not it’s multiplayer. Really the game’s main feature is the online multiplayer, and the Australian version of the game is being striped of that in addition to not having a four player split screen and multiplayer arcade modes. I can’t see the game being at all successfully in Australia as an only one player game. EA is offering a refund to those tricked into buying the game, after idiotically trusting the back of a video game’s description on its box.
Medal of Honor Heroes 2 for Wii does not support online functionality in Australia. We made an error in the documentation and marketing materials. We are very sorry to have caused confusion for our customers. We will provide a refund to anyone in Australia who wishes to return the game to EA because of the lack of online functionality.
I don’t know why EA’s making all these mistakes. I think there is only two possible reasons. Either this is all just a test of consumer’s willingness to keep a game after realizing they aren’t getting what they were promised, or there just idiots. EA, I’m waiting for your response.
The newest issue of Famitsu revealed some new information about Mario Kart Wii. We already know that players select karts and bikes, but we now learn that both modes of transportation have their own advantages and disadvantages. Bike can do “wheelies” to speed up, but that makes turning more difficult. You can even do mid-air tricks.
The game will have sixteen new tracks and sixteen tracks from previous titles. The game with have Ten multiplayer stages (thank G*d we moved from the regular four), four player split screen mode, sixteen players online (rather than the twelve previously announced). You Mii as a playable character can also be used in certain instances.
Following in the steps of Wii-Fit, Nintendo will be releasing a new Mario Kart Channel. The channel will contain information about global rankings (including time attack scores) and ghosts data downloads.
In pictures that have surfaced recently, a green “A” button and a red “B” button, suggest Game Cube controller support, maybe 8 players(probably not). But what about that wonderful wheel (or Whiil, as I like to call it)?
About(or exactly) half of the tracks in Mario Kart Wii (thinking that they’re set with that name, not something creative like Mario Kart Wiilay) have been listed. They are listed below.
“Mushroom Cup”
Luigi Circuit
Moo Moo Country
Mushroom Canyon
Toad Factory
“Flower Cup”
Mario Circuit (a Figure-8 with underpass)
Coconuts Mall
DK Snowboard Cross
Wario Mines
“Shell Cup”
GC Peach Beach
DS Yoshi Falls
SFC Ghost Swamp 2
64 Mario Circuit
“Banana Cup”
64 Sherbert Land
GBA Hey Ho Beach
DS Monty Town
GC Waluigi Stadium
The characters that have been confirmed (by way of released screenshots) are as follows: Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Baby Peach, Boo, Bowser, Donkey Kong, Koopa Troopa, Luigi, Mario, Your Miis, Peach, Toad, Waluigi, Wario, and Yoshi. Who else can we expect, I don’t know, but characters to consider include Bowser Jr., Daisy, Poochy, Diddy Kong, Birdo, Tatanga, Dry Bones, Paratroopa, Klepto (Jango), King Boo, Petey Piranha, R.O.B., Shy Guy, Toad, Toadette, Hammer Bro., Blooper, Dixie Kong, Bob-omb Buddy, Cranky Kong, Tiny Kong, Goomba, Paragoomba, King K. Rool, Elvin Gadd, Snifit, Donkey Kong Jr. (what ever happened to him?), Pauline (time to see her again), Poochy, Toadsworth, Kamek, the Koopalings (which seems to have been wiped from Mario History and replaced by Bowser Jr.) and Pac-Man & friends (like in Mario Kart Arcade GP and Mario Kart Arcade GP 2). Speaking of Non-Nintendo characters, what about Sonic, he seems to be popping in a few of Mario’s games.
The original Super Smash Bros. had a thing called Multi-Man Mode were the player would fight the Fighting Polygon Team. Super Smash Bros. Melee saw the return of this mode with the Fighting Wire Frame Team. And on January 8 the DOJO gave us information on Multi-Man Brawl in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, were the opponents are now composed of the Fighting Alloy Team. All three of these modes have one think in common, a swarm of uniform enemies that the player must fend off. The Fighting Alloy Team is composed of Red Alloys, Blue Alloys, Yellow Alloys, and Green Alloys.
This mode is basically a survival mode and there is six ways to play. 10-Man Brawl, 100-Man Brawl, 3-Minute Brawl, 15 Minute Brawl, Endless Brawl, and Cruel Brawl are the ways of playing this mode, apparently identical to Super Smash Bros. Melee.
In 10-Man Brawl you fight until you have beaten 10 enemies, in 100-Man Brawl you fight until you have beaten 100 enemies, In 3-Minute Brawl you kill as many players you can within 3 minutes, in 15 Minute Brawl you kill as many players you can within 15 minutes, in Endless Brawl you fight until you die, and Cruel Brawl is the same as Endless Brawl just a lot harder.
A nice little addition to these mode is the ability to play with two players, and even to play with a friend online.
On January 9, the DOJO offered “Pikmin: World Map” for a trial listening.
On the same day, The DOJO introduced a new brawler, or brawlers, Pikmin & Olimar. How the two interact will be explain latter in this post.
