Thus far it's out on PC, hardcopy and download (from Telltalegames.com and Steam) and XBL. It has not yet been announced for Wii. I'm still waiting. They've been a little slow with the Monkey Island episodes too.
Okay, one thing I've been trying to confirm which NO review has really brought to light: compatibility.
Obviously, the guitar peripheral isn't going to work; we know. But since the drum set isn't really needed, and the mic is built into the damn system in the first place, you should TECHNICALLY be able to play this thing on the DSi. Right?
Personally, I think the DSi XL should be treated like a new color. It's just a DSi, only BIGGER! So if you already have one, don't sweat it. I don't see it as a new system (or even a new version).
I just hope it doesn't kill some great game launch like the DSi did last year (RIP, GTA:Chinatown).
I've been waiting for those! And evil Peach and Daisy! Until you think about how much of a filler Waluigi really is. He only shows up in the mulitplayer/party games (and portable minigames) and then only as a filler. Pathetic.
Wario, on the other hand, has been pretty popular, and has gone from villain to psuedohero. I think he's another one Luigi's problems. Just when he was getting out of Mario's shadow, BOOM! Here come's Wario!
You have to admit. As much as we fight for connoisseurship, we tend to fall back on our fanboyness at times. It's what we do!
But actually, it also tends to over-accentuate the problems of the consoles. I mean, do we ever hear about anything other than the 360's RROD rate, or PSN's crap, or the Wii's shovelware? Whatever happened to the good stuff?
Not bad at all! Have to love Samus and can't beat Alyx!
But you have to apologize to Lara. She deserves a place on the list. Considering she was one the first memorable heroines, she's been the victim of more nude patches than anyone else. It's not the creators, or her reinventors who've made her "distasteful." In, and of herself, she always has been. Give her another chance.
Motion capture NOTHING! Ha! I can't wait to see how bad Project Natal and Sony's "magic wand" thing flop and everybody goes back to classic controllers.
You know what REALLY made the Wiimote any success at all? THE CURSER! Point and Click! The same action every PC has survived off of for the last 20 years (which I might add has been a bit lacking on the major consoles). Not the Wiimote Waggle.
Software sales always slump in lew of major hardware release. The DSi killed a lot of great games early this year. And of course, Rockstar saw it coming.
"Hey, I know how to shut all those Nintendo fans up: let's release our long-anticipated DS title right before a major system! That way, it'll flop, and we can complain about how awful Nintendo is, and we won't have to develop for them again! I mean, who wants a Nintendo fan for a buyer, anyway?"
I swear, I'd buy a PS3 just to play Heavy Rain. I love Quantic Dream.
