Yeah there was nothing announced, just Kinect garbage and old shit.

The japa guy there did say he'll have a keynote at TGS, most likely to announce more Kinect garbage.

So Taito has come up with a pretty progressive idea: Arcade games will be digitally distributed.

Quote

Arcades are going digital thanks to Taito. At the 48th Amusement Machine Show in Chiba today, Taito announced "NESiCAxLive," a digital distribution system for arcades.

Current arcade distribution models are somewhat like package game models, as arcade operators must purchase physical copies of a game. With the NESiCAxLive system, games will be stored on Taito's servers in a data center. Arcade operators download the games via the internet directly to the arcade cabinets/boards.

The advantages of this system are similar to download models on game consoles. In addition to less cost, operators will have access to a backlog of titles, which they can provide to users based off demand. Taito says that in the future, it wants to make this into a system where players themselves will be able to select the content they want to play.

An conceptual image of the system's use shared today by Taito suggested that arcade operators will be able to store copies of games on a local server for quicker distribution to cabinets.

Taito will not be the only maker supporting this system. The company said that nine companies, including SNK Playmore and Cave, are also on board. The first title for the system will be Arc System Works' new BlazBlue Continuum Shift II, which is scheduled to be formally announced at the AM Show today.

http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2010/09/09/taito_download_system/

I am going to assume that this is the "unannounced platform" that the Dangun Feveron port is for. With the games being presumably FAR cheaper to distribute and purchase, I think something like this could really revitalize arcades. So yeah, I think this is a great idea and I hope other companies jump on board.

Naruto UNS2 does look really awesome. It's probably the most shallow fighting game ever created, but who cares when it's so flashy and pretty. The achievement list looks like it will take a good chunk of time as well, so I'll be buying it eventually. Not paying more than $40 though.

Bebpo · « **Reply #1939 on:** September 09, 2010, 08:38:12 PM »

isn't it by some turd developer?

Bebpo · « **Reply #1940 on:** September 09, 2010, 08:52:54 PM »

Yeah, but it's a move game.

All move/kinect/wii games are made for casuals who have no standards.

cool breeze · « **Reply #1942 on:** September 09, 2010, 11:52:37 PM »

I think Heroes on the Move looks fine to good for what it is. It's basically Wii Sports/Resort, except more arcade-y and it uses old PS2 mascots for personality. Instead of Wii Sports Resort sword fighting, it is you as Sly swinging your staff to kill enemies for points. Instead of the flying game, you fly around a ninja star or something. Instead of bowling, there is, uh, bowling I think.

It kinda reminds me of Link's Crossbow Training.

I'm loving this game. It's the first time I've been obsessed about scores in a game for years. Plus it's just bossesbossesbosses. Definitely a real man's game.

Still got it in wrapping. Can't wait to play it.

I'm really glad there's a rail shooter revival lately.

I still have Afterburner Climax unplayed.

Real games for real men.

iconoclast · « **Reply #1947 on:** September 10, 2010, 04:02:33 PM »

Eh, I think S&P is one of those ultra-rare games that actually benefits from the Wii's pointer controls. The accuracy just can't be beat. I'm happy with the graphics too. It looks fantastic for a Wii game.

I guess it also helps that Treasure is just about the only shooting game developer that makes good looking 3D games.

cool breeze · « **Reply #1948 on:** September 10, 2010, 07:41:01 PM »

yeah, S&P2 is awesome.

A while back I tried it on the Wii emulator and it ran the same if not better than on the Wii (this is still at much higher resolutions). You could also use a mouse in place of the pointer, but I agree with iconoclast that it is one of the only games that work with the wii pointer.

I have ordered Move. But I don't know why. Most of the games look pretty bad.

Bebpo · « **Reply #1956 on:** September 12, 2010, 04:13:52 PM »

There are only two games I want move for:

-Echochrome 2
-Dead Space Extraction HD

...but that's not enough to get me to spend $100 or whatever on a stupid stick & ball.

Only one game I want Kinect for:

-Children of Eden

...but that's not enough to get me to spend $150 for a wavey hand camera.

demi · « **Reply #1957 on:** September 12, 2010, 04:15:38 PM »

Child of Eden doesnt require Kinect so...

Himu · « **Reply #1958 on:** September 12, 2010, 04:22:30 PM »

It's also on ps3. So fuck kinect.

Third · « **Reply #1959 on:** September 12, 2010, 05:44:07 PM »

Echochrome 2 looks great indeed. The first one was fucking hard though. But this one seem to be different and more fun.
Already played Dead Space on the Wii. Couldn't finish it because the on-rails gameplay was tiring.

Btw, I've ordered the Move starter pack for €54. Pretty cheap. Getting a navigation controller if a good game requires it.

Kinect is trash. Never going to buy that. The games look awful and not fun at all. I'm not 5 anymore.

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #1960 on:** September 12, 2010, 05:56:43 PM »

The only game on Kinection I wanted was Dance Central, but harmonix said they might bring it to PS3 so fuck kitnect.

I bought Move for ping pong and heavy rains

chronovore · « **Reply #1961 on:** September 12, 2010, 06:08:30 PM »

I'll be getting Dance Central, so I'll buy Kinect. Even if HMX brings it to PS3, I'd still have to hold a colored ball while dancing, and it would still require turning on my PS3, which I almost never do.

Third · « **Reply #1962 on:** September 12, 2010, 06:22:29 PM »

I'm just not glad with the technology that MS is offering. $150 is too much for a sub-DS resolution camera. No wonder why all the Kinect games look unresponsive.

I remember awhile back Miziguchi was working on a Wii game. I highly suspect it was Child of Eden and it ended up getting moved to the other systems when they learned about their waggle.

nintendo is releasing a retail copy of super mario all-star for 25$ cause you know... it's not like they have a service made to sell over-priced snes game you know? but ehy you get stuff like a t-shirt and a soundtrack cd so that's cool right?

EDIT: apparently it's not even the version with super mario world in it

iconoclast · « **Reply #1968 on:** September 13, 2010, 05:58:07 AM »

They should have just remade the games with the NSMB Wii engine and sold it for $50. Easy way to get another 7 million sales from yet another rehash.

Pokemon is already one of the deepest RPGs in existence, so as long as Game Freak keeps iterating on it and making it better and better with each version, I'll keep buying/pirating them.

You need to play multiplayer Pokemon magus. The story is just a tutorial for the real game. Think of it like Monster Hunter, except the difference is much larger.

Did Pokemon B&W get rid of GRINDAN ZUBATS FOR 50 HOURS TO BOOST EVS, or at the very least make that system transparent and less tedious?

iconoclast · « **Reply #1976 on:** September 13, 2010, 10:28:38 AM »

I'm not sure, I haven't seen any info regarding that. At least in Pokemon D/P/Pt you could max out your EVs fairly quickly with all the multipliers (Pokerus, Macho Brace and such), but it still sucks. They've taken some steps in the right direction though: TMs are now reusable, and they've really expanded the online and local wifi modes. You can play against random people now with no need for friend codes, for example.

EmCeeGrammar · « **Reply #1977 on:** September 13, 2010, 01:10:51 PM »

Pokemon is not designed for the competitive community. EVs and IVs will never be transparent because the intended goal was for every person to have pokemon with wildly different stats, thusly enabling more pokemon to compete against each other. As you have it with ev/iv maxed pokemon, 50 pokemon make up the main competetive game and everything else is either thrown into UU or banned to Ubers tier. Things would be very different if EVs were never discovered by hackers.

And nsmbwii was fucking awesome, stfu haters.

iconoclast · « **Reply #1978 on:** September 13, 2010, 01:24:08 PM »

UU and Uber tiers are still fun to play though. It's not like you have to play OU exclusively.

EmCeeGrammar · « **Reply #1979 on:** September 13, 2010, 01:37:22 PM »

If a bunch of autistic teens didn't take it upon themselves to rank all the pokemon by their usefulness and enforce clauses, Pokemon matches would be dominated by sleep moves and ubers. The games are not designed for competitive play in the first place, so the EV system is never going to be officially promoted by gamefreak. All that can be hoped is that they might scrap the system one day, but probably not until they stop letting players bring in pokemon from older games.
