Page 2 of 3 Nintendo Synopsis More Wii Sports with Wii Sports Resort, Wii Music, A Balance Board snowboarding game, Animal Crossing City Folk, Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars and a new Guitar Hero for the DS Wii Speak chat peripheral Wii MotionPlus peripheral errr. Peripheral. Originality – As always Nintendo does pretty good in this area, though in this case they are building purely on the originality already on the market. Assurances from Shigeru Miyamoto and others that the folks back in the Nintendo bunker are “hard at work” on new surprises doesn't add to the score 6/10 Smarts is about how this will help the company moving forward. I cannot see these announcements alone attracting a larger audience into the Nintendo fold. 4/10 Wow stakes, well, upwards of 60 instruments modelled for Wii Music is impressive, but where is the game? More accurate control is welcome, we await the exploitation of this by those not making Mario or Zelda titles and then....... 4/10 Nintendo total 14/30 Next up Sony << First page < 1 2 3 Next page > Last page - Post your comment >>
