E3 Bingo Card for TBT?

Also, lol at using Wikipedia for complete lists. Here's the original article that I read awhile back: http://www.balanceboardblog.com/2008/06/guide-every-wii-balance-board-game.html

I think stealing may be wrong in most cases, but I don't deal with absolutes. I leave that to the ignorant ones, the types who have never morally grown up, or the types who cut off hands for stealing.

Oh, you don't, now? Then what's that?

Oh hey, you got me. To be fair, in that instance I was talking about morality, not a general and hyperbolic statement about the popularity of electronics in Japan.

As for the Japanese e+Reader being the same normal e-Reader that was released outside of Japan, you might be right on that. It could very well be a Pok

First of all, I wasn't doubting what you said about the e+Reader. I asked for your source because I was interested, not because I doubted you. And you don't have to tell me about Animal Crossing. My boyfriend and I own every single Animal Crossing game. That includes Dōbutsu no Mori (Animal Forest, N64), Dōbutsu no Mori + (Animal Forest +, GCN), Animal Crossing (GCN), Dōbutsu no Mori e+ (Animal Forest e+, GCN), Oideyo Dōbutsu no Mori (Japanese version of Wild World, DS), Animal Crossing: Wild World (DS), Machi e Ikō Yo: Dōbutsu no Mori (Japanese version of City Folk, Wii), and Animal Crossing: City Folk (Wii). And I didn't know whether or not the e-Reader was region free or not, because I've only ever used the North American one with North American cards. I could try it right now, but I don't know where our e-Reader cards are. XD

I'm sorry, but was that rundown really *censored.3.0*ing necessary? Jesus.

As for the "Wii ___" games, you can't really compare them to games like Mario and Zelda, because they're a very different type of game, and they're not trying to be like Mario or Zelda. And, yes, they do have content. It's just a different kind of content. They "Wii ___" games are mostly for multiplayer experiences, and they accomplish that very well. If you're looking for a single player experience, then of course the content is going to be lacking to you. But with the multiplayer experience, you can have tons of fun, and the replay value is practically infinite.

Yes, but whether or not they are trying to be the same doesn't change the fact that they cost the same. I wouldn't have much of a problem if these lower-quality titles didn't sell at the same price as the normal-qualtiy games that Nintendo puts out. Tell me honestly, how often do you actually play multiplayer on the Wii? As opposed to playing the games alone or single-player games.

As for the Olympic Winter Games, it's much better than its predecessor for a number of reasons. For one, the events aren't all just "waggle the remote as fast as you can to win", as many of the events from the first one were. There's also a ton more content. The DS version even has a story mode! And there are many more Dream Events than there were in the first game, and all of them are fantastic. You can snowboard down Radical Highway, ski jump in Good Egg Galaxy, play ice hockey in Bowser's Castle, and ski down Seaside Hill, among others.

So waggling the remote has been replaced with wobbling on the balance board? Excellent. Oh, and a DS-only story mode? Holy balls. And these "dream events" you speak of are just the same events set in more interesting locales, no?

What does price have to do with anything?! And how are they lower quality games? They're not. They're just not the single player games that you prefer. And I play multiplayer on Wii all the time. If my boyfriend's around, we're almost always playing multiplayer or co-op games together. It's so much more fun than just playing by yourself.

No, certainly not. The Balance Board is completely optional, anyways. What I meant was that the controls are far less focused on just waggling the remote as fast as you can, as many events from the first game were. Instead there's a lot of aiming, gestures, control stick usage, and button pressing. And while the DS version has a story mode, the Wii version has something similar, and plus better Dream Events. And, no, the Dream Events aren't just normal Olympic events that take place in Mario and Sonic locations. There are items and power-ups involved, and the events themselves are different from the real Olympic events, and there are even a few made up ones, like Dream Snowball Fight and Dream Gliding. Like I've said countless times before, don't knock a game you haven't played. And even if you don't like it yourself, that doesn't mean that other people don't find it fun, and it certainly doesn't mean that your opinion is fact.

ANYWAYS

If you do decide to do three different cards for Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft, I'd be willing to do the Sony one =D

 

[Blue_Jay]

Will the predictions just be for the 1st party company, or do 3rd party games on that particular system count?

Tye, you keep saying that we always state our opinions as fact. But aren't you doing the same thing? You've been parading around that we always state our opinions as fact, not thinking that what you say is entirely an opinion in itself.

If my boyfriend's around, we're almost always playing multiplayer or co-op games together. It's so much more fun than just playing by yourself.

The price has everything to do with it. Why should people have to pay full price for a game with less content? That's how they are lower quality games. And can you honestly tell me you two usually will play Wii Sports, etc., over, say, Brawl or Mario Kart?

No, certainly not. The Balance Board is completely optional, anyways. What I meant was that the controls are far less focused on just waggling the remote as fast as you can, as many events from the first game were.

And even if you don't like it yourself, that doesn't mean that other people don't find it fun, and it certainly doesn't mean that your opinion is fact.

So waggling has been replaced with gesturing and pointing? That is a slight improvement, I will concede, but the fact that you have to list "button pressing" as a new feature of the game means that may be something wrong. Call me crazy, but I feel like even Sega is making shovelware (I love that word) just to profit off the Wii's newfound audience. They just happen to have the ability to execute it without making a completely broken product.

And you seem to have glossed over the point I made about your list of balance board games... did you forget?

We usually don't play Wii Sports, Wii Play, Wii Sports Resort, etc. when we're by ourselves, but do play them when we're playing with his family. Since we're more core players, we obviously prefer games like Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Mario Kart Wii, but that doesn't mean we can't have the same amount of fun with Wii Sports, etc. And you have to understand, different people like different games. To some people, Wii Sports Resort is much more appealing than Super Smash Bros. Brawl. And it's not a matter of content, though I've already explained that the "Wii ___" games have plenty of content. It's more a matter of development. One game could have more content than another, but that game with less content could have very cost much more time and money to develop, justifying the price. And, besides, you're complaining about games that don't even appeal to you. If you're not gonna buy them, don't complain about the price. I think $50 per game isn't bad at all, anyways.

That's not what I said... Never did I claim that the pointing, gestures, and button pressing were "new features". I said that there was less focus on just waggling the remote as fast as you can to win, and more focus on the other said things. You just love making stuff up, don't you?

And you seem to have glossed over the point I made about your list of balance board games... did you forget?

What point? That the list is largely made up of shovelware? I never said it wasn't. I didn't reply to that remark because it wasn't going to go anywhere else. You stated the obvious. I knew the list was mostly shovelware, but that doesn't change the fact that there are over 100 games that use the Balance Board. I was proving that the Balance Board is being put to use, not that it was being used in only quality games.

For the longest time, you've been claiming that we've been stating our opinions as facts. But isn't "don't state your opinions as facts" an opinion in itself?

If you wanna get technical, yes, that's an opinion. Even so, I'm not claiming anything as a fact by saying "you shouldn't claim opinions as fact". I'm not saying "you shouldn't post opinions", am I? No.
