NPD Talk:

-PS3 sold very well, "Its all those games they had"..... Crickets

-Wii games is ten games to every system sold
-Wii software outsold 360 software sales
-No More Heroes- Bozon 75,000. Matt- 60,000+

Worms:
-No Online Mode
-3 Months ago a vast online mode was planned
-They would like voice chat

NitroBike:
-6 Players Online
-Was 8 players, originally planned 10, but framerate issues forced the reduction
-Again they want voice chat.

Nintendo's Stance on Voice Chat:
-Nintendo wants parents to listen in on voice chat.
-May not be attached to a persons ear, may be something else.
Bully Wii:
-Same game as the Ps2
-If you liked it then, or were interested and didn't give it a shot do so now
-Rockstar Reps didn't know Brawl would be pushed right around their release

-Bozon takes a great shot at Matt/Perrin/Reggie about the big 3 all coming out by the end of '07

Wiifit:
-Matt; "Aboslutely going to give you a good Workout"
-They think its going to be huge here
-Don't import, a lot of japanese text to get around the game
-May not have a push up counter on the board, that pushup was a part of a compound exercise

Endless Ocean:
-Co-Op online.
-Like a free roaming Pokemon Snap
-You can join a friend's game in progress, they are notified and must surface before you both can dive in.
-You can't swim the vast ocean, you move your boat to a dive spot and go from there. Invisible wall lets keeps you bound in the dive area.
-Cool, Very relaxing, Chill game

Matt and Boz Wii Project:
-Blackout isn't a WiiWare game, its boxed retail.
-A major publisher rep, "dear god Matt, your a father now, we can't have the child's mother dieing in the first minute of the game"

-Peer "My friend told me about this new establisment that opened up in our town in Germany, its $50 Euro, all you can eat/drink and one free prostitute". Bozon and Matt are huge fans of this establishment.
-Bets on Next-Gen Wii Console:

-No company has been as agressive with a wii game since Red Steel.
-Ign to third party publishers "put some damn money and effort into wii games, they'll sell" Big emphasis on that the publishers need to market.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles
-1:1 controls
-Top 5 Best looking game on the Wii
-May not make it in 2008

-Lots of suprises from Square we'll be suprised (No excitement or attempt to hype in the voice of Matt when he said this)
-What Third-Party games do we Know about? Response: Well theres quite a few.
-DQ:Swords on rails hack and slash not a full DQ game

-Nintendo will eventually announce something, guarentee that it will make you happy, its the light at the end of the tunnel.
-They also expect Pikmin and AC. AC much more than Pikmin.
-Mario Kart Q3 even Q4. Not going to be Q2, but hopefully it is that means they'll have something nice coming this christmas.
-Some developers are looking at JonnyLee ( the wii head and figure tracker guy ), he may not even know it.
