Mario Galaxy and Red Steel

Post by Hamel »

These two games, IMO, were a good showcase of what Wii could do, on top of excellent artistry. I'm still hoping for the final dev kits to have 2002 tech, but if not, I could say that I am satisfied with how things are shaping up.

Mario Galaxy looked fantastic on the HDTV, btw. I don't think anyone has to worry about Wii games looking bad on an HD display unless the upscaler is piss.

"Right now we can tell you a report was filed by the family of a 12 year old boy yesterday afternoon alleging Mr. Michael Jackson of criminal activity. A search warrant has been filed and that search is currently taking place. Mr. Jackson has not been charged with any crime. We cannot specifically address the content of the police report as it is confidential information at the present time, however, we can confirm that Mr. Jackson forced the boy to listen to the Howard Stern show and watch the movie Private Parts over and over again."

SD content shouldn't look any worse on an HDTV. If the TV set is playing sillybuggers with the signal and converting it to a higher resolution, it might artifact, but a decent set should just drop to displaying at a native SDTV resolution.

I've had my megadrive plugged into my HDTV and it looked good, not to mention last-gen consoles like the PS2 and Gamecube. (Still want to get a new Dreamcast to hook it into the VGA port, but mine died a sad and much lamented death)

As a band nerd, I am actually interested in the game where you conduct a Symphony. I've always wanted to get up on the podium, but will probably never get a chance in real life. This, if done right, can be an amazing display of artistry.
Brains!

Man, if Flash works out that the Rev will have, like, Guitaroo-man style games with strumming, he'll EXPLODE.

Everything about that game kicks ass, plain and simple.
