Nintendo Voice Chat podcast summary
Posted on September 16, 2010 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii
Metroid Other M
– Craig liked the game
– He had been skeptical
– Peer thought the game got better as it went on, but feels the Prime games were better
– Peer doesn’t feel like Other M doesn’t always sound like a Metroid game
– He’s still happy that he got the game
– Only reason to shoot the enemies now is to see secrets in the room
– Craig hates the reason why Samus can’t use her weapons
– Some podcast members didn’t like the d-pad controls
– Craig talked to Sakamoto a few months ago, who said he wanted to make a game where it’s like playing a NES game
– Craig asked Sakamoto why not use the Classic Controller, Sakamoto said that it doesn’t come with the system
– Apparently the original intention was 2D, but according to Sakamoto’s story, Team Ninja came to him with a prototype, which he liked, though the 3D off-rails stuff was working well
– At face value it’s a great game
– Craig thinks if they added nunchuck controls, a lot of problems would have gone away
– Overall Craig highly recommends it
Kirby’s Epic Yarn
– Traditional platformer
– All about the style
– A volcano is made out of jeans material
– There is an overworld
– Craig played the first couple of worlds
– Overworld has patchworks
– When you beat a level in a level, like Grassland, you’ll collect a patch
– Throw that patch on the overworld which will affect something
– Fire patch from Hot Land: Throw it onto the overworld that you’re on, there will be a piece of meat where that patch goes, and it cooks it, a dinosaur will go after the meat, eat it, and reveal the next stage
– After you beat a boss, can complete further levels or move on to the next world
– Kirby’s apartment: Deck it out will wallpaper, carpets, patterns
– Cut-scenes done in paper cut outs
– Kirby can turn into a firetruck, tilt Wiimote to spray water
– Train: Draw tracks using the pointer
– King Dedede is in the game
– Can lose your beads if you die, but can recollect them
– Want to beat the level with gold
Fluidity
– Was at PAX
– Looks like Loco Roco with water
– Haven’t said when it’s coming out
MotoHeroez
– Made by Trials HD devs
Ivy the Kiwi?
– Was given a 7.5
– Apparently only sold 374 copies in August
GoldenEye 007
– FPS isn’t hurt much in splitscreen
– Craig was only allowed to play the tank level at the latest Activision event
– Animations look very good
– It does have the Bond theme in the game
Super Mario Bros. 25th anniversary
– Craig feels the Collection Pack is kind of lazy when you think about
– Nintendo of America isn’t doing anything
