Really hoping Nitro Bikes to bring the Excite, but the pics are not giving me much hope. Can't say I feel too optimistic about this. Really looking forward to Light Gun RE, SMG, NMH and ZW, though.

 

[Phife Dawg]

I just hope Nitro Bike is 60 FPS and as fun as ET. Don't care if the screens look worse than ET if they manage to do just that.

Agreed. We're ALL hoping for some EXCITE in this title, but several things scream out at me: very muddy colors (not so EXCITE) and seemingly no arcadey-stuff like imaginary rings to jump through or balloons to pop (the SSX legacy). Above all that, it's UBISOFT, who simply haven't delivered at all for the Wii.

Our only hope is the giant ass rockets on the back of each bike and what looks to be a pretty lame trick system.

Excite Bike 64 was an incredible game, and it didn't have any of those things.

Those cute little stars in that Galaxy boxart look like Elebits Eledees. Konami to sue Nintendo confirmed.


and NitroBike... oh jeez, it looks more like that 4x4 Monster Madness game than Excite Truck.

Yeah, the screenshots are not too encouraging, the colors look washed out and not vibrant at all, everything is pretty low poly and textures are blurry. I'd look past that if it was 60 FPS though.

As for gameplay, I'll just trust Left Field Productions on this and pray no one from Ubi is involved. Apart from the publishing of course.

 

[Meesh]

Nitro Bike=blech! And what's up with that Dolph Lundgren look a like?... They'd better polish this up a bit. Again, Zack's look is fantastic

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Nitro Bike online play could be fun I suppose. I just hope they put more effort into it than they have with the way the game looks.

 

[jee]

looking at the color palette of nitro bike it could be one of the first true next gen titles on wii

 

[EktorPR]

What the...hell. Anyway...

I just came in to state again how truly awesome Zack & Wiki looks. I can't fucking wait to play it. The art is consistent and refined, and the gameplay videos prove the great effort being poured into this title. Thank you, Capgod.

Still too colourful.

Hey, you don't joke about my gritty and I won't joke about your kiddy.

But it wasn't EXCITE

Beautiful!

If this controls anything like jungle beat it will be a winner.

 

[Throwaway123456789]

How certain are we that this is indeed the official, final box art for SMG? Truthfully, it looks a bit sloppily put together...

It's in the official Nintendo press kit for this game.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

It doesn't since Bongos aren't supported.

 

[-WindYoshi-]

I don't get all the SMG boxart hate... I like it.
Would you prefer... this?

 

[Proc]

You're not actually excited about this game are you? This seriously looks to be one of the worst games of the year.

Look! Wii am next gen!

What a waste of normal mapping on such undeserving game.

I don't get all the SMG boxart hate... I like it.

The box art is awesome.

 

[Shaheed79]

Mario Galaxies boxart is great exactly what did you guys want?

yeah it seems perfectly fine to me as well

 

[rakka]

They could have at least centered the logo.

 

[Amir0x]

They could have at least centered the logo.

hm yes i see now, i suppose that isn't as attractive as it could be

 

[Haunted]

Konami copyright infringements aside, that Galaxy boxart looks ace, imo.

I know this is just a small, shitty, taken from a lo-res video screenhot.... but this just looks awesome to me. I <3 Metroid Prime.

 

[OG_Original Gamer]

Look! Wii am next gen!

Considering what other devs have produced or are unwilling to try, I give the guys behind Godzilla much props for effort.

The first one was great fun so I'm really looking forward to this.

Why is this game "undeserving"?

They could have at least centered the logo.

It's positioned with respect to the 'Wii' bar at the top of the box. If they centered it they'd have to lower and shrink it, or cut into the space for the rest of the art considerably.
