I'm pretty sure they aren't.PowerSmell said:Is Nintendo Power still an official Nintendo magazine?
Tiktaalik said:My guess is because the wiimote sucks, but the stylus is awesome.
They are official, but the magazine isn't created in-house anymore. Future Publishing puts it together for Nintendo now.PowerSmell said:Is Nintendo Power still an official Nintendo magazine?

His collaboration with Suda is set for PC, PS3, X360 and oddly enough Wii. Beyond that, he still has a secret project with Platinum Games. That could be Wii, I guess.Bluemercury said:Mikami is doing aything for wii?
well the wii version is made by dimpsTeknoman said:Pfft. IGN also made it out like the framerate was still messy in the HD versions. Which isnt the case for the 360 anyway. Still think the HD version gameplay looks better than the Wii/PS2 version.
Or he's pimping MadWorld. He was Nishikawas mentor after all.Dascu said:His collaboration with Suda is set for PC, PS3, X360 and oddly enough Wii. Beyond that, he still has a secret project with Platinum Games. That could be Wii, I guess.

the pixel interview is short but here's a cute excerpt (both previous links are self-links, please excuse).
didn't see anything "newsworthy" in the mikami interview.
star wars unleashed (wii) review says "monotonous gameplay and lack of better controls."
mushroom men (wii) review says "frustratingly inaccurate motion controls and dark, drab environmments," but adds that it's a "a fun platformer with unique and varied gameplay" and is "impressively deep."

Toshihiro Fujikawa, assistant director for Killer7 and NMH, will now be the main director of NMH2. Suda's still writing the script and overseeing the project.I AM JOHN! said:Woah woah woah, Suda's not directing No More Heroes 2? What's going on here?!
inthegray said:whoops, yeah, was confused.
sonic unleashed review says:
"imprecise controls"
shallow menu-based exploration elements that serve almost no purpose
tedious mandatory replaying of daytime stages
"action is still a blast"
graphics "among the best yet on wii"
"action gets even better when the camera switches to a side view"

NTom64 said:I knew they'd get called on that. Sonic Adventure, the very FIRST 3D game had proper hubs, so they were just lazy when choosing not to create them for the Wii version.
As for imprecise controls, well...yeah, I'll leave that one, methinks.
Tedious mandatory replaying of daytime stages...I don't recall any mention of that in the 360/PS3 versions.
Ehh, looks like the HD version will be one to get after all. That being said, 8/10 isn't that bad of a score.
the company spent most of its time focusing on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions. Unfortunately, at least in preview builds, those versions have only looked prettier in screenshots; in motion, that's a different story with its incredibly inconsistent framerate and movement that didn't speak well for the design's overall quality. After finally experiencing the Wii version for the first time this week, I have to ask: maybe the company should have been focusing on the Wii version instead?
It's too early to say whether the Wii version will end up being a great game, but at the very least in my brief hands-on with Sonic Unleashed, I have to say that the Wii version certainly looks and plays better in Wii standards than the more advanced console versions do, even with the lower visual standard
The Wii version that I played earlier this week was promised to be a final build of the game, and in the two levels I experienced one day, one night the framerate never dipped below its locked refresh. The game is clearly running at 30 frames per second, which is slightly disappointing considering speedy games tend to feel more fluid when they're running at 60. But at the very least, it was a consistent 30 FPS that never tanked at all. The game definitely doesn't have all of the bells and whistles of the Xbox 360 version no realtime physics engine to bounce the shattered remains of crates and doors around the environment, and no 720p/1080i HD resolutions. But even without the "next gen" effects the Wii version looks great and Sonic Unleashed seems to be one of the better looking Wii titles on the system.
.For those who want a more traditionally playing game of Sonic, SEGA has incorporated both Classic Controller and GameCube controller support so you can simply press buttons instead of motion-waggling the devices
markatisu said:Have we seen reviews of the HD versions yet? IGN just posted hands-on 11/14 that said the builds they played of the 360 and PS3 had bad framerate
With that in mind though I would hope they were able to lock in the framerate on the HD versions even if it was at 30fps

With that in mind though I would hope they were able to lock in the framerate on the HD versions even if it was at 30fps. Guess its a decision of HD vs SD because it seems the controls wont really be an issue since the Wii one gives you classic options as well

Valtox said:I'm worried about Animal Crossing. Edge gave it a 7, Nintendo Power an 8, so it's pretty sure it's not so good, I mean, not a classic.
