3 most anticipated games on Wii, 360, DS, PS3
Matt: Wii - Wii Fit, Pikmin 3, Kid Icarus, 360: Resident Evil 5, Dead Space, Prince of Persia, Too Human, Street Fighter, DS: Guitar Hero, Trauma Center, Moon, PS3: LittleBigPlanet, Killzone 2, Wipeout HD
Craig: Wii - Wii Fit, Animal Crossing, World of Goo, Multi: Ghostbusters, Ninja Gaiden 2, DS: Guitar Hero, Space Invaders Extreme, Bangai-O Bozon: Wii - Animales de Muerte, Kid Icarus, Animal Crossing, Tails of Symp., 360: Left for Dead, Street Fighter IV, Ninja Gaiden 2, RE5, DS: Super Dodgeball Brawlers, Guitar Hero, Trauma Center, PS3: Grid, LittleBigPlanet, Wipeout HD

- Still need to know about upcoming Wii software
- Craig, Matt think that E3 may end this year (companies dropping out, only 1 hall, etc.)
Iron Man (DS)
- Kinda cool, gameplay happens outside of screen
- Enemies attack off-screen, annoying
- Now super-awesome, but fun
- Lego Indiana, Line Rider, Friday announcement this week (DS/Wii coverage)
Reader mail
- WiiWare Tetris title is coming to WiiWare, online
- Etrian Odyssey 2 feels a lot like the first game, a few new things, holds it own
- FF:Tactics looked like an upgraded version of GBA - not a bad thing
- Tecmo Bowl Kickoff - apparently coming to Wii, haven't officially announced it though
- Boom Blox is fun in single-player as well as multi-player - doesn't have "blow-me-away" factor, but still a ton of fun
- Platinum Games (ex Clover Studios) hasn't said what they're up to
- Earthbound VC game will probably hit the Wii Shop Channel, but not right away - if it comes out, people need to buy it or more games like this won't come out
- Factor 5 is not making Pilotwings for Wii - Factor 5 did say they're be interested in making a flying game
- Donkey Kong Country has a better soundtrack than Megaman X
- Okami better than Mario Kart Wii, No More Heroes (Matt), Craig: No More Heroes is better
- Boom Blox is recommended to non-classic puzzle fans
- WiiWare limit: 43 megabyes, no way to get past that limit yet
- Iron Man Wii review coming out Tuesday
- Nintendo not producing more Wii units because they can't product them fast enough
- Another game from a developer who couldn't find a publisher (dark game) will hopefully be unveiled/talked about later this week
- IGN hasn't seen the Bionic Studio game
- Konami's projects on Wii will most likely be shown next week
- Blast Works (hopefully) will be great; Should be easy to use, not convoluted - can create all types of content - shooter aspects generic, but creation is great
- Second takes for reviews are added when the review feels like it (sometimes if people disagree, want to elaborate on some points)
- Launch feature on WiiWare is planned on IGN
- Not sure what Monster Games is doing
- Next Metroid game: Nintendo should take it back and do it themselves if not Retro again
- GTA4 - technically amazing, still has some issues like previous iterations
- We Love Golf on the shelves because of other games, Matt is still optimistic - not as excited about it (Matt)
- Scarface is a good GTA alternative on Wii
- More on Moon for DS coming - looking good
- More developers on podcast in coming weeks

S.JI reckon this Wii/DS announcement will be Castlevania, would tie in with the Nintendo Power teaser nicely.

Phoenixus' Reader Reviews, a new one each Wednesday! This week; Mah ol' Buddy, Pokemon Trading Card Game.

If you are one of the many complaining about lack of great Wii games, and you don't own Okami, then pipe down and go buy it.

DKC does have a good soundtrack, but I feel that MegaMan X had one of the top 3 on the SNES (with Super Castlevania IV and FFVI)

By the way, where the hell are all our Megaman & Megaman X games on the US VC, Capcom?!!

OK StarFox Adventures wasn't that dull.
But Rogue Squadron II was pretty dull IMO. :/ I personally can't see what's fun about it. It's just a generic space shooter with a recycled story everyone knows, with nice graphics and sound.( Edited 07.05.2008 00:44 by SuperLink )

Funny, I've no problem with the Rogue Squadron games, but thought that SF Adventures was one of the dullest and most tedious games I'd ever played (and actually completed).
