"Metroid™: Other M, the incredible new Metroid game developed for Wii through a collaboration by Nintendo and the world-renowned Team Ninja, launches June 27. The game looks at the classic franchise from a new perspective: While much of the game is reminiscent of 2-D side-scrollers, players can switch the perspective into 3-D at any time as they explore the twisting passages of a derelict space station and delve deep into a cinematic, never-before-told story of bounty hunter Samus Aran’s past. This new approach uses a new control scheme in which players use the Wii Remote™ controller held sideways to battle enemies and navigate the expansive, gorgeous environments in classic Metroid fashion, then aim at the screen with the Wii Remote pointer to blast foes in first-person and hunt the world for clues and hidden passages."

Glad to hear it's gonna be a bit more 2D in terms of play, the MP series wasn't really my cup of tea.

Yea, sounds like it'll work kinda similar to SPM, but at least it's pointer controls and not waggle. Pointer controls are the true strength of the Wii controller, imo... waggle is just awkward and unnecessary.

Distant: no concrete date for DQ9, just some time this summer. I'm still wondering when the US DQ6 will come out, it's the only game in the series I haven't beaten.

It's probably because you know it will be an awesome game.  You can say you knew Mario Galaxy 1 would be awesome, but that's a lie.  You no longer need to use obnoxious amounts hype to mask skepticism.  Secretly nerds love the gamble of whether or not a game will be that good.

Like, it would require a lot of energy to make the game suck.  At worst I'm expecting it to be slightly worse than Galaxy 1, at best on par.

In all honesty, the LL doesn't really look that bad.  Friend of mine bought one and I was really impressed at how well it scales the graphics.  Also helps a lot when playing Japanese games since you can actually make out complicated kanji, although I doubt most people care about that, heh.  Either way, they did a pretty good job with it, but I wouldn't necessarily upgrade from a different DS for it.

Do you like rail shooters?  It is a rail shooter with crazyyyyyyyyyyy theme park ride levels and non-stop variety of super creative gameplay scenarios.  They take the basic SLASH/SHOOT/DODGE and make like a dozen original game design ideas out of it.  Most of the boss fights are top-notch and there's like 434235325 of them.  Plus the game is damn long for a rail shooter.  6-7 hours.  60fps is very nice too, especially since the game looks great.

There's one stage I thought was kinda weak, but otherwise the game is imo the best rail shooter and best treasure game to date.

I haven't played a new rail shooter since Panzer Dragoon Orta.

Rail shooters were my favorite genre as a kid, next to platformers and arcade racers.

Thinking of the possibilities of rail shooters on the wii is the main reason I got a wii at launch aside from Zelda.

And here I am, 3 years after launch and SP2 is the only fucking rail shoter on the system.

yeah, lightgun shooters are very very different than non-lightgun rail shooters.

SMG2 definitely looks like an expansion pack type of game but since I thought the first one was fucking awesome, the second one will probably be decent at the very worst case.  Best of all, it is June, allowing me to re-Wii at a Walmart late at night when nobody is looking as opposed to being out in the frigid cold, standing in line for a half hour like the first time I bought one.

Also the reason why there is no Virtua Cop compilation is because nobody has cared about it since the mid 90s.  It'd just cater to a small set of gamers and it is unlikely that the Sega of today would do such a thing.

Seriously, I always laugh when people yell for old games to be brought back (especially SEGA releases), but when they are, people complain about them for either playing too old or changing too much.  See Nights, the new Daytona, Sega Rally, etc...no one cares about them now except for a few vocal "fans" who probably won't buy the new games anyway.  You might as well just ask for Sky Target to be revived while you're at it, that's more of a rail shooter than Virtua Cop is and is just as relevant of a series now.

HOTD had always been a strong franchise, and still gets regular arcade releases.

If you want to play VC so bad, just download the PC versions and do the Wiimote hack thing to emulate the mouse.

So after looking over everything I have to say the only things that stand out to me are

-Monster hunter 3 is free online with wii speak support.  Its receiving a big push as well as a demo being distributed
-some awesome art style series games
-new warioware for wiiware fuck yes
-sin and punishment 2 being localised

I'm very much cold on super mario galaxy 2 and other m.  the xl is kind of appealing to me since I only ever used the ds at home, and I want to pick one up for some of the connectivity functions with the wii.

I WISH you talked into your wiimote, coulda made the wiimote a nice impromptu karaoke controller.  I prefer the wiispeak implementation if only because I find the whole 'account required to use microphone' aspect of Xbox live whack, but my limited experience with wiispeak had echo issues.  Also, you can leave messages like live with the wiispeak channel, but you have to physically go into the channel to check your messages and no one uses it.  In general Nintendo's hesistance to expand their online feature set makes it more of a gimmick than a useful feature.

Not doubting you, but back around gears 1 I remember I had to make an account to use a mic while I was playing at an acquantices house.  Are you saying its always been like this?

  I didn't know xbox live was a recurring charge and they billed me until the acqauntice pointed out my account was still active!  I find it weird people have such a hard time deleting their accounts.  I just explained I don't have an xbox and I had the account deleted in the same phone call

Why does that Metroid game look like a Dreamcast title?

Oh, and MCG, do you really think that a mainline, Nintendo-developed Star Fox title would bomb? The last one they made was Star Fox 64, which sold millions. Since then, all we've had was an adventure spinoff and another title that didn't really feel like a Star Fox game and that Nintendo didn't even develop.

I think a true successor to Star Fox 64 would do quite well.

from ign, an excerpt of about 8 paragraphs on a cinematic

Quote
"I awoke to the familiar voice of a quarantine officer," Samus says via inner-monologue. "A dream. I had been reliving the tragic moments of my recent past. Thanks to the hyper beam, which was given to me somehow by the baby, I laid rest to Mother Brain." Of course, the explosion also took down the station, as well as everything nearby.

Other M begins at this point. The geek tells Samus to walk through a door so that training can begin. In the room, she cinematically triggers her Varia Suit -- it simply appears over her Zero Suit as energy envelops her body and it looks ]fantastic, of course. Now you're ready to play.

How did affinity for canon ruin Zelda?

If anything, the total disregard for continuity has made the franchise suck. They could have ended Twilight Princess by having the world get flooded, which would tie right into Wind Waker, but they didn't. None of the games feel like they are part of the same historical timeline.
