its following the american timeline tho. i see jiraiya, and they say they now 'introduced' temari and tenten so i assume they have all the characters from NGNT3. it looks much better than the original tho, but other than that, theres nothing that will make me run out and grab this....online play sounds promising tho, is not like men will have to go outta the way to make a challenge and such...*waits for backlash*

I'm biased, but I'll leave the fifa 2008 for the PC platform and definitely go for Strikers on the wii. (PC should offer better graphics and multiplayer options imo)

chakra for the naruto review link. if the game gets online play that would be reason enough to drop the $49.99

judging from the review, it's not enough of an improvement over the japanese imports to justify the spend. Aside from the convenience of not needing a loader to get the game going.

also, I am VERY skeptical about the wiimote and nunchuck for competitive play over a gamecube controller. (could just hear my son moaning about controller issues when I whoop his ass, lol)

can't wait for the shippuden characters to drop in the next title. that won't reach american soil for a while though (without a loader that is), stress

Chinese help Nintendo crack down on mod chips

Wii purge

By Nick Farrell: Tuesday, 23 October 2007, 3:24 PM

THE HONG Kong High Court ordered police to raid a plant that was making copying devices and mod chips for Nintendo DS and Wii machines.

The move, carried out at the request of Nintendo, resulted in the seizure of more than 10,000 game copying devices and mod chips from the Supreme Factory Limited plant.

It took three days for Inspector Knacker of the Hong Kong Yard to carry out all the chips, which Nintendo claims breach its copyrights and trademarks.

The gizmos seized allow punters to copy and play Nintendo DS games offered unlawfully over the Internet, and the mod chips allow the play of pirated Wii discs or illegal copies of downloaded Nintendo games.

According to Gamasutra, among the pile of papers also found at the plant was evidence which the Chinese coppers think link the operation to a French company, Divineo and its
principal, Max Louarn.

The court ordered the outfit's assets frozen and blocked Supreme Factory from further distribution of the devices and from shifting its assets worldwide. All the company's assets have been frozen pending outcome of the legal proceedings.

interesting news.

Online play (or the promise of it) was my motivating factor for not modding the wii. I've heard the newer units are difficult to mod as well.

as soon as we get strikers (a month or two), will take you on rten.

Samba de Amigo officially official
Sega salsas with Gearbox to revive acclaimed Dreamcast rhythm game for Nintendo's console next spring.
By Tom Magrino, GameSpot
Posted Oct 25, 2007 12:14 pm PT

Sombreros, monkeys, and maracas are a recipe for success any day of the week. Inclined to agree, Sega today officially revealed that it would be reviving the Dreamcast classic Samba de Amigo with a Wii version of the game, aptly titled Samba de Amigo. The decidedly Japanese take on Latin culture is slated to shake its way exclusively to the Wii in spring 2008.

What a happy little monkey.

Speculation over whether Sega's musically inclined monkey would hit Nintendo's latest console took off after a blurb for the game appeared in the final in-house published issue of Nintendo Power several weeks ago. Sega finally officially confirmed today that the Wii Remote and Nunchuk would replace the at-the-time outrageously priced maracas that were necessary to take full advantage of the original game.

Sega also confirmed that it would be reviving some of the more popular songs from the original game as well as adding in a number of new samba-infused tunes. Gameplay will be much like the original, where players keep a beat to the music by shaking the Wii Remote and Nunchuk in time with onscreen indicators.

In a radical departure from its previous offerings, Gearbox Software will be developing Samba de Amigo. It's the first rhythm game for the Texas-based studio, which is best known for first-person shooters such as the Brothers in Arms series. It's also the second game Gearbox and Sega are collaborating on, with the pair developing a sci-fi FPS based on the film Aliens. Other upcoming Gearbox games include the recently delayed Brothers in Arms Hells Highway for Ubisoft and the sci-fi shooter/RPG hybrid Borderlands for 2K Games.

Nintendo's six-month sales, profit double
Game giant takes $1.16 billion profit as Wii installed base surpasses 13 million worldwide; international sales of DS near 54 million.
By Brendan Sinclair, GameSpot
Posted Oct 25, 2007 11:55 am PT

A month after it first took the honor, Nintendo today was once again named the second-most valuable corporation in Japan. Like its rival Sony, the Kyoto-based game giant has also reported its results for the six months ending September 30, which saw both its revenues and profits double.

Sales for the half-year totaled ¥694.80 billion ($6.10 billion), a 132 percent increase over the revenue brought in during the same stretch of time in 2006. Nintendo's net profits grew even faster: The company took home ¥132.42 billion ($1.16 billion) for the half-year, almost 144 percent more than it earned in the comparable period last year. Such huge percentage increases in the game maker's financial fortunes are likely done with for now, given that future results will be compared against the company's strong performance in the wake of the Wii launch.

Nintendo attributed its success to a strong lineup of DS games such as Pokémon Diamond and Pearl (6.95 million sold for the half-year) and the Brain Age series (5.19 million sold in six months). Hardware-wise, the company sold 13.35 million DS systems for the half-year, which brought the lifetime installed base up to 53.64 million worldwide.

The Wii also played a big part in the company's success. The company sold 7.33 million Wii systems in the first half of its fiscal year, which brought the worldwide installed base up to nearly 13.17 million. Mario Party 8 was the only Wii game for which sales figures were provided (2.89 million), but Wii Sports (which is sold separately from the system in some countries) and Wii Play (which comes bundled with a Wii Remote) were said to enjoy "favorable sales."

For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008, Nintendo is expecting to rack up sales of ¥1.55 trillion ($13.61 billion), 60 percent higher than the previous year, with net income up almost 58 percent to ¥275 billion ($2.41 billion).

no i chose it, couldn't help it lol. But I like it, the players are detailed really well (see them up close to truely see where it has gone beyond 07) and some of animations are funny and the game plays generally well, but a few bumps in the road though....but it's highly addictive i must say.

lol, larry yuh come out swinging.

in other Wii news, just got a second nunchuck today and Zelda.

woohoo!

Really looking forward to that boxing game now.

Toyman tells me the Bleach game is pretty decent too.

My son just finished MP3 last night and could not stop ranting about it being his best gaming experience ever. Tough act for Link to follow now but I am sure he is up to the task.

Thank you Nintendo!

the only thing of significance now on the Wii is Mario due out very soon.
I rented FIFA for the Wii and it is complete @ss.....Tiger Woods is comming in tomorrow. Hope that one is bettter.

No need to defend the Wii, like i care anyway what ppl think, eventually the 3rd party companies will catchup with Nintendo's genius. As of now the Wii doesnt have much to talk about simply because these 3rd party companies are only now catching on and  catching up. Im still waiting to see what happens to the Wii post Mario Kart/Brawl

no, we still have zelda and mp3, so u cant say the only significance the wii has now is mario galaxy(november) and fifa 08 wasn't all that bad, i mean sure the controls aren't meant for it so much but it sets a fine example for nintendo's online, and there is an improvement in the graphics over 07 (if anyone couldn't see it), so whatever wii's gonna do fine.....nothing to worry about.......right?

i would have to disagree.....next year ill be certain as to what will happen to Wii. They are deffinitely going to have to work on their online capability for Brawl rather than friend codes. A rank system at least.
Dred.......FIFA was THAT bad. Everytime im trying to volley im chest trapping, everytime im trying to lob shot im faking.....terrible response to the controls. THe only thing that works is the throw in system. I was getting it for my friends in Trini to play when i go home for christmas. Since they always watch us play FIFA but find it too complicated......this isnt complicated though....but it really swaps for a pain in the ass.
