Pachter predicts that Netflix on Wii won’t be as popular as it is on the PS3/360
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 30 Comments
“In our opinion, Netflix on the Wii will not be as popular as it is on the Xbox 360 and the PS3 for two main reasons: the lack of HD on the Wii, and the limited number of Wii users connected to the Internet. Further, the Wii audience has demonstrated little commitment to buying videogames (attach rates are at historical console lows), leading us to suspect that many Wiis are relegated to the playroom or (heaven forbid) the closet.” – Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter
I think it’s too early to tell if Netflix will be a success on Wii. But we learned a few weeks ago that Netflix Vice President of Corporate Communications Steve Swasey believes that the lack of HD for Nintendo’s console won’t have a negative impact.

MARIO GOES GALACTIC AGAIN!
Super Mario Galaxy 2: newly released information on gameplay elements
22 April 2010: Hold onto your seat and get ready for orbit, as the long awaited Super Mario Galaxy 2 will touch down in Europe on 11 June 2010. Bursting with new features and gameplay elements, there’s something for everyone in Mario’s latest adventure.
The Star Festival is in full flow as falling stars shower down on the Mushroom Kingdom once again. Princess Peach invites Mario to watch the festival at her castle, but en route he comes across a Luma who takes a shine to him and dives into his hat to hide, giving him the Spin move powers. Before he reaches the castle, Mario is concerned to see that a gigantic Bowser, super-sized from harnessing the power from the stars, is attacking and capturing Peach. As Bowser escapes, Mario launches into outer space in pursuit. Cue an incredible mission in outer space – to save the Princess and bring peace back to the Mushroom Kingdom!

– Prototype shown at the end of 2008
– Director Kuniomi Matsushita and other staff members started working on it long before then
– Background was created with black ink art style, many people were impressed with it
– They then showed a character and the impressions were still very positive
– Character was originally Amaterasu, not Chibiterasu
– Matsushita felt pressure about finalizing a project plan, lead character designer randomly approached Matsushita and said he made Amaterasu’s child, plan solidified when Matsushita saw it
– Matsushita will sign the artwork above along with the rest of the staff when the game’s development is finished
