Points of Interest
- IGN reports more of Iwata’s interview with the Wii design staff.
- Not the sole reason I’m interested in Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, but definitely the first thing which grabbed my attention.
More art and stuff within.
- GameDaily follows IGN and gives their impressions of Super Mario Galaxy.
- I should still try it for myself, but it sounds like Midway didn’t smell what The Rock was cookin’ when they made Spy Hunter: Nowhere To Run.
- Go Nintendo has some new pics from Gyakuten Saiban 4, the Wright-less Phoenix Wright game coming to Japanese DS systems soon. Don’t think there’s been an American announcement yet, though.
- Ah, those Famitsu folk. They really, really love the Wii. So much so, in fact, that they recently said “Wii definitely could become the most popular console of all time. Non-gamers can see how fun it is just by looking at people playing it, and that’s very different from the PS3 or Xbox 360.”
- Kotaku links to an interesting piece talking to Reggie about more things Wii want to know.
- N-Europe has a feature up in which they tackle the HD myth.
“The main reason why HD has become the must-have acronym of the year is because it has a certain ring to it… It just sounds good.”
Sure, there’s bias to be expected, but it has me thinking… is HD this generations “bits?” How 32 was better than 16, or 64 or 128 were better… except when they weren’t.
Funny, that, as it’s been about a generation since bits were even discussed with any sense of mainstream regularity.

Yeah, it certainly does seem like HD has become the new buzz. But I’m not one to say, “Wow, not going HD is the best move Nintendo could’ve made!!” If it’s really a matter of cost to them, like they said, then yeah, I totally understand. But at the same time, HD would be NICE… Just not necessary.

(2) — wow, an anime Castlevania. sigh
she apparently fits the “female spellcaster whos skirt flutters violently for rapid-fire pantyshots every time she does a summon” cliche
And wth is this:

But eh, it’s FINE
(7) — enough with the Wii60 bullshit, it barely made sense to begin with, and the $250 pricing of the Wii kills it anyway. Man, if someone is so stupid as to do that on a low budget…
(8) — I can’t imagine myself caring about the quality of my HDTV. All that matters is that I’d have one, that’s good enough for me.

egg> Re: 2) The last Castlevania had an anime styling, too.

Ah, I see. Thanks.
Although I’m tempted to say that Dawn of Sorrow looks better. >_>
