High Voltage Software stated a few weeks back that friend codes will be a probable inclusion in The Conduit’s online set up. After all, as the company has mentioned, it is ultimately up to Nintendo to decide which companies can develop and include a homemade online system, much like EA did with Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 on Wii. There is some light at the end of the tunnel, however. High Voltage Software has yet again noted that “If there is any possible way for us to get around this [friend code] system, we will.” Better yet, it was also added that “A system similar to MoH2’s would be ideal.” High Voltage is hoping that Nintendo will offer “the same exceptions they granted EA.” Gamers might end up with friend codes in the final product, but at least it can be said that High Voltage is doing everything in their power to make the online experience as good as it can possibly be.

– A single character can pull off a combination of attacks with “single connect”, while multiple characters can pull off a combination attack on an enemy with “party connect”.
– If all 3 party members use a special “Excel act” attack on the same enemy, it turns into a super attack callde “trinity act” that does huge damage.
Disaster: Day of Crisis (Wii, Nintendo): 8 / 8 / 8 / 7 – (31/40)
Unknown Soldier: Mokuba no Houkou (NDS, D3): 5 / 6 / 4 / 5 – (20/40)
Jikkyou Powerful Major League 3 (Wii/PS2, Konami): 8 / 8 / 8 / 7 – (31/40)
So it looks as though Disaster received a 34/40 from the Nintendo Famitsu and a 31/40 from the overall Famitsu.

“We expect GTA will likely be ported to Apple’s iPhone platform, leveraging the device’s touch screen technology and accelerometer. Apple’s determination to layer gaming applications into the device’s consumer value proposition and growing installed base is likely sufficient motivation for a deal.” – Janco Partners analyst Mike Hickey
Knowing that the iPhone would be more than capable of handling Chinatown Wars, the possibility certainly seems likely. Rockstar, however, has noted that the DS suits the game very well and have specifically mentioned the two screens.
“I think if we had the MotionPlus to start out with, maybe the control scheme would have worked out a little bit differently. I think the temptation with having Wii MotionPlus would have been to push it more in a gestural control scheme. While it’s definitely intellectually stimulating from a development perspective to play with those ideas — and I think it does appeal to a set of gamers out there — I think the majority of people that play on the Wii want something very simple that they can just immediately get their heads around.” – Nick Hagger, de Blob producer
As far as the hardcore audience is concerned, I think there are quite a number of people out there who would support a somewhat complicated control set up if the end result was for the better. However, MotionPlus can make controls easier to understand in some ways. After all, it is an extension to increase the power that the Wii controller can produce.
