Portable's all that's left. It's not going to last much longer.

WiiWare FF:CC looks to be a sort of city-builder simulation.

Trailer here:

So FF Crystal Chronicles Wiiware have anything to do with the other game coming out? The game looks like a prettier version of Cing's and Marvelous' Wii title Project O, same premise, kid becoming a king.

Star Soldier R best be a full game and not just a caravan mode. *-neo

Maybe they'll scale down all of their big projects and move them to the Wii and handhelds where they can afford to make them, and then bump up the low budget games to the PS3 and Xbox360 where they'll have a little more room to splurge on graphics.

Its actually really good if you know what your doing. I have countless hours logged in and its been great from ps2 to psp. Most people who dont like it go into with a "hack and slash" attitude and than get all mad when they get killed by what is essentially...a cow.

My enthusiasm for Monster Hunter is because the series should be great. I never played the first one, but MH:Freedom on PSP showed what the series could do despite the crap camera and clunky combat. MHF2 is even better, but the same camera issues issues hold it back despite the improved combat. Monster Hunter is a series on the verge of greatness, but Capcom's choice of platform keeps hamstringing it.

On the plus side, word is Nintendo actively went after the series. It's good to see that Nintendo is at least making some attempt at getting some serious games on the Wii.

Maybe saying they're not that MUCH better is a bit of embellishing but is that any different than you saying there's "nothing" interesting at all here. The point still stands that the PS3 isn't doing gangbusters in sales over in Japan and neither is the 360.

Serious business.

Why are you looking at it from a sales point of view, though? Nobody else is, because they are posting their actual opinions. Are you a gamer or a stock holder?

What's the scoop? The Wii is terrible because it has no good games coming, or the Wii has good games coming and that's terrible because they should be on PS360?

Yes, but Nintendo didn't do this. Sony and Microsoft did this by maintaining high price points.

I was at Target on Friday. I asked if they had any Wiis in stock - nope. She said they received 38 systems on Monday and they were all sold by mid-day Wednesday. Crazy.

By attempting to advance console gaming. I guess what you're saying is they should have all done what Nintendo did, repackage the same hardware and create a new controller.

I can't name a Wii game besides Mario Galaxies and Fire Emblem I care about. And I don't even care that much about Galaxies.
