I don't know what your feelings are on the first game, but I thought it was pretty fun. I think it would be a lot better on the Wii though. The point-to-suck vacuum controls would make a lot of sense. They had the Luigi's Mansion stage in Brawl, so they obviously haven't forgotten about it. I personally would be quite happy if this was one of their E3 announcements.

Not a bad idea, but wouldn't it have to be first person? I'd buy it anyway. It may make Luigi and idiot though. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twixe shame on me.

Plus, just think of the possibilities of a vacuum peripheral.

It sure would suck ;)

There are dozens of Flash games to do that on this very site.

How would you move forward, and jump at the same time? Motion sensing is billed as being more intuitive, but to do anything more than the most basic actions it becomes awkward and impractical. It's much more limited than button based control.

I have no idea how it would work but I know there must be a way. It's hard to see now, because the idea isn't "ripe" if you catch my meaning. If you look at early 3D games many of them had no ideas what they were doing and it turned into crap. I see motion controls the same way. It's not that they can't work, but that we don't know how to make them work at this point.

True. I think Metroid Prime 3 did an excellent job of that. But the technology will get better; right now it's impractical to have an entirely motion-controlled game, but it can be done. I believe the bowling in Wii Sports is about the best we can get right now.

It depends on if you lick it all over or just one spot.

I was really hoping we'd got back to twenty ten style, but I've seen commercials for furniture sores where they say, "No interest until two trhousand eleven!" Which is gay. It's supposed to go back to the old way. But I most often here the Vancouver olympics refered to as twenty ten.

Completely different. One is an extra feature that helps movement, the other completely changes the way games are played.

I disagree. In fact I'm not even 100% sure which is which when you're decribing them. Analog sticks certainly completely changed the way games are played. Compare the early Crash Bandicoot games to Super Mario 64, pretty different.

I wish I was rich so I could buy video games and never play them.

Couldn't they just replace the prerendered cutscenes with ingame cutscenes? I'm sure that would make it much smaller.

With the success of the Wii one can't help but wonder if motion controls will become the standard for console gaming. In the mid 90's, when 3D games became popular, analog sticks became a necessity. All N64 controllers had them built in, and the next generation the others followed.
Motion controls don't seem as necessary as analog sticks, but even in their primitive state they are widely popular despite their inaccuracy. The next generation will likely bring more precise and enjoyable motion controls.
Microsoft and Sony have long been rumoured to be developing their own motion controllers, although many of these rumours are obviously jokes. With the unexpected success of the Wii it would seem a bad business move not to copy Nintendo. With E3 just around the corner we should expect some mention.
What do you think? Motion controls, tacky gimmick or gaming revolution?

Xbox 5. Who would buy a PS4 when they good get and Xbox 5?

It didn't work exactly right the first time, so it must be removed! That's just crazy talk. Give it some time and practice for your own sake before jumping into an irreversible surgery. I don't want to get into details, but just give it time. Recommended reading for those contemplating circumcision. I know it's a bit biased but there are references.

Am I the only one who didn't use hypermode except for when it was absolutely necessary?

Recommended retail price $249 USD. I got mine for $199 in '06, I think, or maybe my memory is broken. Anyway, don't pay $600, it's better to look for them in stores and by retail price. As much as a Ilike the Wii, I don't $600 like it.

He also sounds just like Xandir from Drawn Together. IF that doesn't make him gay nothing does.

I used to think Morpha was hard too, but for some reason I beat it in less than a minute without getting hit the last time I played through it. Perhaps it was te Biggoron's Sword.

I'm not shitting you.

Some of you don't seem to realise that random(10) will produce an interger between 0-9 not 0-10 or 1-10. I also heard you're not supposed to use random() for some reason, probably BS though.

It has plenty of fun games STFU. The graphics are certainly better than PS2 (even if you consider it a Gamecube wiht motion controls) and first party titles show that the graphics can rival the other consoles, not in polygon count but in style.

Exactly. I did that half the time when mine was vertical. Now I have it horizontal and I keep the chargestation on top as to not waste any space.

Simpsons. Neither are too great at the moment, but The Simpsons was the best show on TV during it's prime. Family Guy has become just a bunch of referential nerd humour.

Neither? There are 3 you know.

The way I see it there are 2 tiers.

Top tier:
Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Wario, Link, Zelda, Ganondorf, Young Link, etc.
Bottom Tier:
Bowser

He's a little better but he still sucks. Mario sucks this time around too, at least compared to Melee, but on the plus side Luigi is much better than in Melee.

Naked Samus. It's never going to happen in a Nintendo game. Just freaking google it.

King Dedede is a penguin, you buffoon!

Make him look like Michael Jackson. I bet it can be done.

I'd like to point out that many laptops don't have the numpad. Also I think wasd works fine as long as the arrows aren't used for anything at all. If I played the game and the arrow key shot a missile or something I'd be really confused for minute. I'd prefer arrows to move and zxcv for actions; that way you'd have a finger for each action and traditional arrow movement. It's sometimes difficult to find wasd without looking but the arrows are in a big open space.

Tell him you like his drumming, but you like his tamborine playing ability much better. Anyone can drum but it takes a true artiste to play the tamborine. If he's a moron it will work.

WTF, it shouldn't cost that much to buy a new one.

Anyway, not much money. Trading it in would have been a good idea a year before the 360 came out, but 2.5 years later it's worthless.

It's certainly nothing like the 2003 Ang Lee turd. It's a good fun movie. The way the Hulk moves is so much better in this one.
