Nintendo Wii Screens | Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz

05.05.2006

So we have three screens showing the graphical brunt of Wii... well not quite. This is in the same boat as One Piece in that it was never going to realy push the hardware but still we'll take any kind of screens we can get when it comes to the Wii! So looks like a standard game mode, a baseball mini game (gotta love those SMB mini games) and what looks like a space game based in a vehicle. All very mysetrious and E3 cannot come soon enough.

Stick with C3 for all the info on the Wii throughout E3.

Dude, these screens won't show.

I'm on a roll today. Fixed.

Thanks a bunch. Well, not alot to see, and not alot to note in these screens. Little can be decifered, exept that these look like pre rendered images.

HazukiSan 05.05.2006#4

They look like pre rendereds but I wouldn't say they are. Not many pre rendered shots have score counters, time counters and bana counters. They usually leave stuff like that out.

When I commented on them looking like pre renders, I was commenting on the high quality. I can tell they aren't pre renders, but they do look that good.

Ah righto, sorry. Total blonde moment. It's all this heat, I never think straight Smilie

Not too bad, but we can't really tell too much at this time because of the scan quality, but pretty decent otherwise.

Well I'll say one thing. In a game where you're gonna be having alot of spheres you're gonna need quite a few polygons to get those looking nice and smooth, and from what I can see all those curved edges look awesome.

I only just noticed something... They said that you would be able to jump for the first time, by flicking the controller up. That means that you won't be able to control the levels by tilting the controller! That would have been a FAR better plan in my opinion...

Looks worse then the Cube games :-s. Hopefully this is in its early stages though

Who knows - the scans are fairly bad quality, so I'm guessing they look a lot better in motion!

Monkeyball games always have a nice look to them. It's seems from the pics there is a bit more polish but can't really tell.
Can't wait to try the controller with it.

Kinda makes you wonder... Does anyone in Japan have a scanner that's less than 10 years old?

It could be that you hold a button to jump, or it recognises the differences in speed between your tilts and flicks to distinguish between whether you're wanting a jump or a tilt. I'm sure they won't have missed the boat entirely on the controller. We'll find out soon enough...

James2t3 07.05.2006#15

I did here they are using the analoge stick for this game, i think it's in an interview with IGN. But surly there would be an option there to use it? It woud be so cool to tilt the floorwith the controller.

Megadanxzero 08.05.2006#16

Exactly! It would make SO much more sense too. I suppose they could measure the speed of it, but what if you want to quickly change the direction of the arena? It could end up registering as a jump, and just make you dive off the edge of the level... Not fun

What if the Revmote (or Wiimote or whatever you call it now) controlled the tilt of the platform and the Nunchuck attachment was flicked for jumps etc?

Mason 08.05.2006#18

Fenno - that makes perfect sense. Good call!

Aww, but that'd work too well. We need something to blame for being oh so bad at the game Smilie
