Nintendo Voice Chat podcast summary

Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 2 Comments

Madden

– Bozon doesn’t mind how the game looks visually
– Could have been a whole lot worse
– A little simplified
– Overall game looks slick
– Didn’t see anything on MotionPlus for the game
– Matt wishes they would have gone farther with visual style
– Still excited about this version more than any other on Wii
– Have to wait and see what modes they’re keeping, changing

Spyborgs

– It’s a pretty looking brawler
– Animations are good
– Hoping to run at 60 FPS
– Matt hasn’t seen it himself yet
– Sounds like it’ll be a basic brawler
– Putting a lot of motion in there, seems unnecessary
– Matt more psyched than he was before
– Very co-op focused

Nintendo still has plans to bring Wii-no-Ma overseas

“Wii-no-Ma service is available only in Japan at the start, but the overseas deployment is under planning in the future.” – Iwata

I’m very impressed with the abilities of Wii-no-Ma thus far. In particular, the ability to watch video content from the channel on the go is a fantastic idea.

Activision Unveils New Guitar Hero On Tour: Modern Hits Character

Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 1 Comment

Introducing Calista Valenz, an all-new character joining the Guitar Hero rocking ranks
Thursday 30th April/… Activision Publishing, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) today unveiled Calista Valenz: an all-new character that will debut in Guitar Hero On Tour: Modern Hits this summer.
Calista Valenz is tough as nails and sweet like candy, with a smile that can melt any man’s heart. Her motto is, “Fake it until you make it,” and she has a habit of telling strangers today is her birthday. Calista once volunteered to spend a week in jail for charity and was put behind bars on a Monday, got bored, and somehow escaped that Tuesday. She spent a month running from the law, even though no one was looking, and hid out at a night club. The rocker pretended to be a lead guitarist, and during her first show, a record promoter told her she was a no talent hack. She smacked him upside the head with a sausage and dumped spaghetti down his pants, all with a smile. He stood up and immediately signed her to a lifetime contract.
