Rumor: Wii loses NBA Jam exclusivity
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii | 1 Comment
Once touted as a Wii-exclusive, NBA Jam will now apparently will be released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, too. Well, that’s if the latest USK ratings from Germany are to be believed. Nothing is confirmed at the moment, though there have been a few signs pointing to HD versions of the game, such as a listing found on a developer’s LinkedIn profile a few months back.
Interestingly, Reggie Fils-Aime stated during Nintendo’s E3 press conference that NBA Jam for Wii is an “exclusive version.” Does this mean that the Wii title will offer content not seen on the PS3/360? Hopefully EA will clear things up sometime soon!

Miyamoto says Nintendo considering Miis for 3DS, not worried about ports, strongly believes in Skyward Sword’s controls, much more

Miyamoto on how long the 3DS has been in development/what the process is like behind the scenes…
“Basically the way it works is – once we’ve finalised the design for a new hardware system and we’ve launched the hardware system, the hardware teams immediately begin research on what the next system will be. So it’s been – I don’t know how long – I guess about six years since we launched Nintendo DS, so they’ve been researching and experimenting with various things over the last six years, but it really finally started to take this shape that we see now about three years ago.”
Miyamoto on why this is the best time for Nintendo to introduce a new 3D system…
“Well, there were kind of two things that led to it. First of all, the LCD screen technology has really advanced quite a bit over the last few years, and that played a big part in it. The other is obviously – as you pointed out – we’ve experimented with 3D a lot over the years, and in all the experiments that we did, with the sole exception of the Virtual Boy, everything else that we worked on was really 3D as a peripheral or an accessory to an existing hardware system. And what’s unique about a portable gaming device is that because it’s both a gaming system and a monitor, both together in one device, there is no accessory. What that means is everybody who purchases the device is able to experience the 3D effect, so it was kind of this combination of us focusing in on the idea of a portable device as a 3D device, and the fact that the LCD screen technology had advanced to a point where it was finally going to be possible to do it.”

New Monster Hunter Tri quest – Rising Soul
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 3 Comments
Would you look at that beauty? It’s reading blog posts like these that remind me I should really start playing Monster Hunter Tri more. I absolutely love the game, almost to the point of obsession, but since I play with friends only, it’s hard to find time when we can all play together, and thus I am only Hunter Rank 9. Here’s the low down on this beautiful sword:
– Strong lightning element
– Requires 5 lightning tickets
– Lightning tickets are obtained through newest event quest: Sea Power
– Sea Power pits you and your buddies up against 2 Lagiacrus. If you’re familiar with Tri, you know how tough these bad boys are, so taking on two at once is no easy task.
– Event quest runs through July 17
