Brush it off, gentlemen.

@deathsyth8888: I sorta figured this might happen if I didn't use a [\sarcasm] end note. I admit hyperbole is harder to distinguish if it sounds a lot like what "my kind" might typically say to get a rise out of people but I'm not trying to cause anyone anguish, I just want more eggrolls.

@HELLSRIDER is trying to get a job: The phrase "real controller" might be a direct dig on Nintendo's Bullshit-pro they announced recently; The company has clearly shown that it has a bad habit of taking something they've already put out and attaching a vestigial appendage to it and reselling it; the basic product model of a Wii remote but just a classic controller with plastic shoulder pads. Seriously if you have to use the Wiimote to interface it to the Wii itself the you have a fucking retarded voltron-style controller where all the parts form-up into one glorious abortion. But I say "might" because I'm not this kind of person. I'm about Love&Peace and I respect what Nintendo has managed to do for itself even though they don't speak to me. But this isn't about Nintendo, this is about Ubisoft.... not Nintendo hate, not Wii hate.



I don't see what's so bad about having emulators on the other networks to play Wii games. Think about it, Wii has the virtual console which runs almost every system that came before it with the exception of some recent ones like the Xbox, PSX and PS2. Now this isn't a disrespect to the other system, the Wii is just doing it because it's capable of doing so and it puts a little extra cash in the IP holders pockets. Good deal all around for everyone.

Now enter the PS3 and 360 which are both powerful machines. Some may even argue either machine might have enough power to run a few instances of the Wii as background processes. This isn't an insult but just an astute observation. As for licensing, Ubisoft is a publisher so it's not beholden unto Nintendo and a lot of other publishers are the same way. This leaves only the controller. I mean developers make games for the Wii that we complain that just have waggle mapped on to traditional controls that doesn't take advantage of the Wiimote's capabilities so it sounds like to me that many games already have controls that work with things like the Bullshit-pro (remember "might"... it's all in your head man... I swear I love Wii <3) built in.

This gets me down to the heart of the issue. Komrade and Archaotic are clearly distrot over this Ubisoft move to bundle No More Heros and Red Steel together. All I'ms saying is that if the Virtual Wii™ exited, Ubisoft may have had enough money from a multi-platform release to not have to resort to breaking their hearts. My comment isn't a troll or Wii-hate, it's an act of mercy. How can something so right sound so wrong. Don't forget, nothing any commenter on the internet can say can take away the fact that the Wii is the number #1 console on the market and for most people, it's adequate for gaming. I can't believe people would need to be reminded of this every time a Wii-related comment is made that might upset them. We shouldn't walk about assuming people will attack the console we love. If that were the case, I'd be online on the console all the time instead of coming on the browser every now and then to see what gamers are doing. If you read this far then something IS really wrong with you. I fell asleep half way through writing this.



On a serious note: I pray you find a job soon <3

The quirky story.

The simple, yet effective gameplay.

The stylized characters.

Everything about this game is win.

Perhaps if you elaborated, OP, you wouldn't seem like you were trying to grab some attention.

@Gorilla Snow is hot for Snorlax: Sorry, but I state my opinion as it is. I don't adjust it to suit your or anyone elses preference. If anything from my viewpoint & I'm sure the majority outside of communities like Kotaku who are part of the niche, you're the one trying to be edgy by defending this game because IT'S "edgy" to you.

@shrek187: At least I can spell "retarded."

Don't stand between these people. They can speak for themselves. And you two. Jusy give in to your anger. Let your passion fuel you. Use the Dark Side to your advantage.

I seriously almost punched a baby once. :[

Seriously though, that game was treated so badly by the press (GAME INFORMEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRR!) and the consumer public, it single-handedly gave birth to my irrational hatred for the average Wii owner.

 Reply

Seriously though, the game is awesome. If you haven't played it yet, play it. Now. I'll wait for you.

 Reply

I agree with ya though. I didn't care for No More Heroes, but I could at least see that it was a decent game low B/high C rank game. Red Steel was a freaking train wreck, and unlike an actual train wreck, it wasn't even fun to watch!

 Reply

It's not an everybody game. I have huge issues with it, in fact. Some of the odd jobs are a little too odd and there is a lot, lot, lot of filler between the missions. I can't even bring myself to finish it. But I want to keep it forever.

But the humor is very welcome, the voice acting is pretty solid, the missions tend to be pretty fun and there are a lot of great touches scattered throughout. Using the wiimote to play with the cat was worth the purchase price alone. I love the atmosphere of Suda-weirdness that permeates the game.

Conceptually, it's great. But it's like playing through (rather than just listening to) a very smart, eccentric guy's theories about modern video games, rather than a video game designer's job... something he had to do to please people to earn a living.

AND, I think the sequel will probably clean up most of the slack of the original game and be more playable.

NOTHING.

Makes me wonder how Red Steel would've turned out if it had the Wii Motion Plus attachment. I thought that the game was okay, design wise and whatnot ... but the controls were definitely a bit loose. Thank goodness I snagged it off of Amazon for cheap, instead of paying the full price.

 Reply

I found it unplayable, personally, and I haven't had as severe problems with any other games on the Wii in terms of control, even Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop, which has major control issues of its own.

Hopefully that was the main reason they moved development in 2 to another group, and not just graphics/etc that matter less than control accuracy.

I wouldn't bet on RS2 having MotionPlus Support. It may, but I'm not holding my breath.
