Alright! Pikmin 2! The original Gamecube game USED costs about $30... so I would much rather get the Wii version.

Does anyone know of whether these games will have updated graphics or not?

[I.S.T.]

Hasn't been said yet.

[sweener2001]

doubt it

there's not much to update, anyway, except 16x9 and progressive.

the wii isn't that much stronger. at least not enough to warrant the extra work it would take.

and given nintendo's track record of re-releases, like the NES on GBA action, i doubt it even more

[grinvader]

"Updated" to what, pray tell ?

[Gil_Hamilton]

if i trade my old ds in for this, then i'd be taking up extra room by carrying my sp around with me as well as the dsi.

Trade your SP in for a GBMicro while you're at it?

Besides, your DS can't play Metroid 2, so you need a GameBoy anyways.

gb micro can't play metroid 2 either, so fail either way.

You already said you don't carry a GB currently, so YOU fail!

Yeah, the Wii is basically 2X the GC due to clockspeeds, much more RAM and some sort of minor enhancement ot the graphics chip(it's been measured, and as it turns out it's a little too big to just be a straight shrink of the GC's graphics chip. No one knows WTF they did to it.).

They added Blast Processing to enable Genesis support in the Virtual Console.

Overall, Cave Story on the Wii is a small graphical update.

That's not quite what that says.
In fact, all that DOES say is that it has new character designs(from the original creator), and a widescreen mode.
Also: no new weapons.

[Johan_H]

Those "new character designs" could be easily added to PC Cave Story by anyone, since the graphical data is stored in plain bitmaps.

Also; http://media.wii.ign.com/media/142/14287155/vids_1.html - New Quote looks pretty good I think.

Also 2; maybe this needs its own thread?

[grinvader]

Also: no new weapons.

New weapons would:

1- need post-game subquests
2- break the game
3- be ridiculously powerful
↑
choose two.

Also wow, what a shameless direct use of agtp's translated script. I sure hope they get credited. As if.
Plus, widescreen in hell ? holy fuck i'm so not there.

Is that a joke <.<

[ZH/Franky]

Hold on a minute, I'm now under the impression (from reading a few comments here) that the DSi is actually a new console, not just a revision of the DS. Is it just a DS? Or is it a new console (like how the PS2 was a new console, and not just a revision of the PS1)?
I'm confused.

[funkyass]

its a revision, if you want to argue semantically.

[Awakened]

Just checked the AGTP forums and Gideon Zhi said he couldn't comment on Cave Story Wii just yet, so basically he is involved/probably getting credit

[mudlord]

Sin and Punishment 2

woah.....

Business arrangement?

Don't forget Morphmation, for Yoshi's Island on the virtual Super NES.

It's like the PSX was to the PS2: An upgraded model sold at a higher price, with the "old" model still being manufactured and sold.

[Gil_Hamilton]

No one really knows about the DSi yet.
Nintendo didn't say anything either way about specs, beyond that the DSi has integrated save RAM and an SD slot.

It WILL play games that the DS is incapable of playing, since the DS has no access to the DSWare store and the DSi does. And it loses compatibility with DS accessories such as the rumble pack, Arkanoid spinner, and Guitar Hero button grip, as well as the ability to play GBA games or "link" DS and GBA games by inserting both at once(used in Pokemon and Castlevania, at least).

Make of that what you will.

Also: no new weapons.

I was just observing that they stated the new one has ten weapons, so there's no new gunseses. Or swordseses, or whipseses, or magicseses.

Take a wild guess.

I still hate you, BTW.

Then my work here is done.
