Nintendo Media Summit posted Feb 25th 2010, 12:24PM
Mood:
Yesterday was kinda like getting to experience E3, only entirely Nintendo themed. Nintendo had their big Media Summit and announced, elaborated, and confirmed a bunch of stuff. Here’s a quick run-down of some of the big stuff they mentioned:

Mega Man 10
Due out next week I believe. WiiWare is getting this title earlier than the 360/Ps3 versions. Plus the game introduces “easy” mode which actually radically alters the terrain in which you roam, something that’s never been in a Mega Man game before. Apparently Easy Modes was added because Mega Man 10 is going to be twice as hard as Mega Man 9... if that’s even possible...

Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon
I pre-ordered this with my birthday money, even though it’s not due out till the middle of March. I get an audio CD of the music from the game with the preorder. I just can’t wait. I love the concept of the game and everything I see about it just looks gorgeous.

CaveStory
Finally, this game is coming to WiiWare March 22nd. I hope it’s as good as everyone says it is.

Red Steel 2
Also due out in March 23rd, this game is radically different from the first Red Steel. In this east meets west cowboy samurai game, you play as a long unknown gun wielding sword slicing mercenary. Using Motion Plus, you fend of hoards of enemies, and by simply pointing at the screen you can shoot them down too. You have to switch between using your sword and shooting with your gun, and there’s a ton of secrets, tricks, finishing moves, etc. It all runs at a nice clip of 60fps and has some amazing Wii visuals.

WarioWare DIY
This is actually 2 games. DIY stands for Do It Yourself and that’s exactly what this game is about. YOU get to design your own WarioWare style microgames. There’s the program on the DS where you actually make them step by step, and then there’s a WiiWare title you download which allows you to transfer your games to show people on the Wii. You can also share your creations with people via Nintendo’s WiFi network. For someone like me, this is gonna be a BIG hit! Due out March 28+29th.

Monster Hunter 3
If you preorder the game through GameStop now, you get a new black classic controller and a 500 wii points card. The game itself is going to offer online service for FREE for America, feature NO friend codes, allow up to 4 player WiFi co-op, AND offer WiiSpeak and USB keyboard support. Talk about one heck of a robust game for the Wii! That’s due out April 2010, but if you want to try it out before then GameStop will have a FREE demo disk you can pick up around the middle of March.

Super Mario Galaxy 2
Not much new to say except we got a new trailer with tons of new screens. I think we all know what to expect in this game: Yoshi! But the release date, once again, blew people away: May 23rd.

Sin and Punishment 2
Set to be released June 7th, this is a sort of fan treat. The original Sin and Punishment wasn’t released in North America until the Virtual Console. By pure fandom alone, they made Sin and Punishment 2 for Wii. Again we never thought to see it come to our shores, but then Nintendo said “ok!” and here it comes!

Metroid Other M
We’ve known the new Metroid game was coming out soon, but the release date of June 7th took everyone by surprise. On top of that, Nintendo finally elaborated on the control setup of this new game. The entire game is built in 3-D, but you play like a 2-D sidescrolling game (very much akin to the old SNES Metroid game). You only use the WiiMote to play, and at any time you can point the WiiMote at the screen to switch to a 1st person perspective. You can’t move when you’re in 1st person, but you can shoot. Not only that, but in the 2-D perspective Samus will automatically lock on to her nearest threat while fighting swarms of enemies. From the reviews, it looks pretty sweet and everyone seems to agree that the controls feel very natural.

Xenoblade
There’s been a bit more talk about this game. Apparently the whole game takes place on the dead bodies of ginormous gods. The worlds are looking to be the biggest worlds ever made for the Wii, taking you hours to get from place to place (“as big as Japan” says one of the PR-reps). It’s an epic RPG and you can fight enemies in real-time. It’s got some gorgeous visuals too and I am really looking forward to this game as well.

So that’s a little run down of what’s coming up for the Wii. It’s looking very promising right now, and it’s a great time to be a gamer. This also means that Nintendo’s biggest titles (Mario and Metroid) are BOTH coming out before the end of summer. What on earth could Nintendo have in store for winter of 2010? Zelda Wii perhaps?

You're the only guy I know who's devoted an entire comic to bashing other people's tastes in games. You're a hate-monger. Pure and simple.
