Wii Game of Q4 2008

[Snoopdogga]

In a recent interview Reggie recently stated that they have a huge game prepared for Q4 2008. What do you think the game is?

Personally, I think it's Disaster: Day of Crisis.
Maybe even Project H.A.M.M.E.R..

I would be shocked if it were either of those games.

Why?

 

[Jeremy]

Ya, I just heard about this too. A lot of bloggers are bringing up AC again.

 

[Bulerias]

AC is going to be the big casual game, Disaster will be the big hardcore game.

I expect a sneak announcement of Kid Icarus Wii on the second or third day of E3, and maybe a confirmation of Pikmin 3.

I doubt Animal Crossing will launch this year in North America.
Disaster: Day of Crisis will probably launch though.

I wish Hammer wasn't axed.

But yeah, I hope it's Disaster. We've waited far too long.

 

[SL92]

I'd place my bet on Pikmin 3.

I doubt Kid Icarus Wii will be announced, just as I doubt Ice Climbers Wii will be announced. Too soon for another major Mario or Zelda Wii game, perhaps a little Mario title will come out for Wii or DS. I think Star Fox will get a WiiWare game, not a full blown game... Metroid Dread would be huge, I think it's a possibility. Animal Crossing will get details, methinks, but no 2008 release date. Can't really think of any other potential big hitters.

IGN has repeatedly confirmed Kid Icarus Wii. They explicitly confirmed it on their latest podcast. I'm pretty sure it's gonna be one of Nintendo's big 2008 games. I mean... imagine a God of War game, but in the Kid Icarus world. That'd be amazing, no?

BTW, it's not too soon for an announcement of the next Zelda. Zelda Wii's been in development for over a year now, and with a release date in one to two years... it sounds really plausible. I'd love to see a trailer.

Oh yeah, Retro Studio's has a Zelda spin-off in the works. I'd absolutely LOVE a Ganondorf-oriented game. C'mon, people, how awesome would it be? Playing as the King of Evil during the seven years when Link was asleep in Ocarina of Time, conquering Hyrule... would that not be totally awesome?!

Pikmin 3 is pretty much a given. Metroid Dread... I dunno. It's a rumor that doesn't want to die. As for Star Fox, why do so many people want it on WiiWare? It's an important franchise that deserves a disk game.

AC is announced for 2008 in Japan, FYI.

Hmm, I never listened to IGN's latest podcasts, is Kid Icarus really confirmed?

A Zelda spin-off doesn't sound like that big a game, but if it starred Ganondorf as a protagonist (which will never happen) I'd say it would sell like hotcakes. Market something that has anything to do with Ocarina of Time and it'll sell like hotcakes.

I don't know about Star Fox. The latest game was great, Fox was in his Arwing the entire time. I'd say Star Fox would need a far bigger adventure with far more options to make a 50 dollar price tag... online would be a given.

AC Wii still won't make it here in 2008, though D=

I hope it's Kirby Wii, but I doubt it.


-_-

Yeah, apparently Reggie confirmed it to them.

"which will never happen"? Don't crush my hopes.


lol It might, though. Retro was doing Raven Blade, and that was quite a dark game. They tend to make darker stuff, you know?

Adventures >>>>> Assault. Why did people hate on it? Sure, Fox wasn't in his Arwing, but it was a competent action/adventure with beautiful graphics and engrossing worlds. It took Star Fox in a brilliant direction, IMO... Rare did a great job.

Yeah, true.

How was Assault a better game? Seriously. It was over in 45 minutes.

No, that statement was blown way out of proportion. It's not going to be "casual", i.e., stuff like Wii Fit.

I read at IGN that the game is very casual.
Assauly may have been over in 45 minutes but the multiplayer was awesome.

Yeah, I just said the statement was blown out of proportion, specifically by Matt at IGN. The guy at Factor 5 meant the game would be easily accessible, not necessarily "casual" by today's standards...

Yeah, it was, but Adventures managed to define itself better. Assault was mostly on-foot missions, which weren't as interesting as the air combat. It just didn't feel polished enough...

Music, however, was excellent.

 

[Snoopdogga]

Isn't their a Pilotwings Wii in development?

Guys, Star Fox Adventure killed Assult. :\

Anywho I think their game will be Kid Icarus or Disaster. For their bridge game it'll be Pikmin and casual would be Animal Crossing.

Wait, what the heck is a bridge game? 0_0

Well, I know what Nintendo means by it, but... another term for games? Casual, hardcore, and now "bridge"...?
