Disaster: Day of Crisis playable at E3?
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
Once again, Nintendo has managed to shroud themselves in secrecy for this year’s E3, leaving us all to guess their plans. The latest issue of NGamer, however, promises that Disaster: Day of Crisis will be at E3. And playable. There has not been too much information on the game as of late, the most of which only reported a delay in the Japanese release date. Since then, no new launch date has been scheduled and Disaster seemed to be heading for the vaults. But, if Nintendo does indeed have Disaster playable, this game – in addition to the the possibilities of Kid Icarus, Animal Crossing, Pikmin 3, and perhaps a new Zelda title – Nintendo will have a great E3 showing.

Wii
– they believe that the Wii hasn’t been pushed to its limits yet
– Wii version will support everything that is in the other versions
– there is a secret concerning co-op play, which is to be revealed later
– CoD4 engine on Wii reconfirmed
– camera and controls are taking a top priority “For example, if you’re climbing on a hill, in a game, you’d have to adjust the point of view manually… but that’s not as in reality, where you would instinctively look a bit higher over your head. That’s the kind of adjustment we’ve obtained working on cameras on Wii version.”
– more fluid movements for shooting
– Zapper support reconfirmed – details unclear, but you’ll be doing typical Zapper stuff (aim off-screen to reload)
– Main game runs at 60FPS, online is 30FPS
DS
– online play
– combat system improved over last Call of Duty DS title
– DS touch-screen interactions “We can’t tell you anything, but let me tell you: it’s NOT just about cutting the right cable, turning off a device or a bomb… we want you to put your hands in the real war!.”
Official Nintendo Magazine removes Animal Crossing “confirmation”
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
About three days ago, the Official Nintendo Magazine for the UK wrote a blog post that seemed to include a near official confirmation of Animal Crossing Wii:
“Those of you who have read the new issue of Official Nintendo Magazine should already know that Animal Crossing Wii will be unveiled at the conference.”
However, it has been noticed that the post has been changed slightly:
“Of course everyone is hoping that Animal Crossing Wii will be there but what else would you like to see. What would be your dream line-up be?”
The modification either means that the change was made in order for fans not to be disappointed if Animal Crossing does not show up at E3, or as to not give away an early Nintendo secret – the latter of which seems highly probable at this point.

Remember, Pokemon Platinum isn’t really a new game, but more of an “expansion” pack of Diamond and Pearl. Still, this should keep Pokemon fans busy while they wait for the next big game. Pokemon Platinum is scheduled for a September 13th release in Japan and other territories will most likely follow soon afterward.
