Nintendo still stubborn about a Wii hard drive
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 3 Comments
“Consumers have the option of either deleting the game and downloading it again for no additional Wii Points, or transferring the game from Wii to external SD memory card.” – Tom Prata, senior director of project development of NOA
It’s confounding as to why Nintendo provides such a plain answer about a hard drive. WiiWare has been released, which means only a few titles will be able to be on the system at once. If Nintendo continues to develop more WiiWare channels and plans on launching more WiiWare and Virtual Console games, how can they honestly believe consumers will be satisfied? Fans are going to reach a saturation point soon, so this is a pressing issue which needs to be addressed.

DLC confirmed once again for Guitar Hero IV, but how?
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 1 Comment
“We’ve been looking at DLC on the Wii for a long time, and with Guitar Hero 3, it was the first Guitar Hero game on the Wii. It was the first third-party WiFi title with online play. That took a lot of effort to be able to do that. We didn’t have the time, and the infrastructure and stuff wasn’t in place [at the time], for DLC [in GH3].” – CEO Karthik Bala, Vicarious Visions
So, we’re definitely getting a hard drive at E3…Right?! Well, I darn well hope so. I don’t know about you guys, but my “virtual refrigerator” has been cleaned one too many times.

Rumor: Prince of Persia coming to Wii…Sort of
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii | 5 Comments
At Ubisoft’s recent event – Ubidays – a representative confirmed a Prince of Peria spin off for the Wii. The Wii will not be receiving the main title that will be releasing on the 360 and PS3, but the spin off Prince of Persia for the Wii will apparently be based off of it. This information has not been officially confirmed, although it does seem like a tangible possibility. No specific details were provided by the representative, however.
