Punch-Out!!

- Matt thinks Craig overrated it
- Title Defense mode changes everything, made Craig bump up the score
- Playing through the regular mode Matt saw presentation elements he liked and disliked
- Interface not up to Mario Strikers
- Matt didn’t do Title Defense but he would have scored it a bit lower
- All about patterns
- Craig thinks that Mr. Sandman in Title Defense mode is just as hard as Mike Tyson in the NES game
- Lack of online functionality is a missed opportunity
- Feels like Punch-Out!! remade but no major gameplay changes
- Great for nostalgia/if you haven’t played it before
- Stuck with core gameplay then added presentational stuff around it
- In-game visuals very fluid - For Bozon, almost forget you’re not looking at 720p stuff
- Balance board is terrible
- Bozon thinks it’ll sell well
- Actually marketing the title

Boom Blox Bash Party

- Recommending it
- 8.5, editor’s choice award
- Great sequel all around
- Packed full of content
- Level editor a bit more seamless now
- More options in editor mode
- Connecting to EA’s servers are quick
- No online play, Matt hopes it’s in next time around
- For this game Matt is pleased with the user-created options
- Can rate levels
- Fun game
- Can theoretically play this game forever
- Hardcore and casual gamers should buy this game
- Easy for anyone to pick up
- One of those games that can only be done on Wii
- Has a few flaws (no online, technical limitations, some textures)
- Highly recommended



Secret game

- Nothing earth shattering but it’s cool
- Still good for the hardcore
- The hardcore Nintendo fans will appreciate it
- Mind might not be blown but again, you’ll appreciate it and it’s good for the Wii audience
- It’s like, if you have a Wii, buy Mario Galaxy, buy Boom Blox, and then this is another one which fits in with that family
- If your name is Matt Casamassina it’s good for you
- Something they want to talk about
- Don’t want to overhype it though
- It’s a smart move

Third-party games

- A few game announcements here and there coming up next week
- Some more details on some big games which have already been discussed (the usual suspects)
- 1 or 2 that we haven’t heard about in awhile, IGN will show, some big ones
- All the stuff next week concentrated on the hardcore
- Craig has an exclusive for a darkish game on the DS - it’s a sequel
- Lots of exclusives/videos

Art Style: Pictobits

- Puzzle game
- Surrounding presentation about 8-bit Nintendo
- Tiles that you remove basically pixels in 8-bit Nintendo sprite
- As you’re playing, you’re playing music to that game
- Unique because you’re not sliding tiles around
- Taking tiles out of bin
- Paint them back into play
- Crazy and addictive
- Gets super hard

- Wii MotionPlus device embedded with jacket

Virtua Tennis

- From what Bozon played it’s framey
- Haven’t played with MotionPlus yet but doesn’t have the presentation
- EA’s game is better

- Need for Speed: Nitro coverage coming soon (way better than you think it is)

Magician’s Quest: Mysterious Times

- 7.5
- Animal Crossing clone

Reader questions

- Starting to hear some good news about third-party E3 games
- Silver Star Chess is bad
- EA Sports Active a good workout but it’s tailored for women
- Matt, Bozon would be happy with Galaxy 2 from EAD Tokyo over a new IP
- Don’t know anything about the Bethesda Wii
- Will have some stuff on High Voltage’s new game soon
- Punch-Out!! Wii sales will be better than Excitebots
- There’s a lot of times when games won’t need Wii MotionPlus, some devs won’t put in the effort to implement it - More games will be supporting MotionPlus than the balance board
- Devs too lazy, not informed to include WiiSpeak support in their games
- Not sure why games such as Soma Bringer, Fatal Frame, etc. are releasing in North America - Matt heard Tecmo was asked to change controls/glitches in Fatal Frame, didn’t want to do that - Nintendo still not giving out official statement about the game
- Haven’t heard anything about online in Wii Sports Resort but they don’t really know - Shouldn’t be expecting it based on history of Nintendo games
- Haven’t heard anything about Metroid Dread either
- Don’t know if Metroid Fusion sequel will happen
- Might see No More Heroes 2 at E3
- Matt can’t say anything about his Miyamoto blog post - he just thinks “he will have something crazy”
- Red Steel 2 will be more focused on sword play
- Best case for Nintendo at E3: Live up to predictions/hope - Show Mario/Zelda/Pikmin/Something crazy new from Miyamoto that is Wii MotionPlus centric
- High Voltage Software’s project is a new IP - they have multiple games

捡感兴趣的翻一点：

pouchout卖得应该不错，比Excitebots强
Boom Blox Bash Party自创管卡，编辑推荐
神秘游戏，不算山崩地裂但是应该不错
下周会有很多ign独占的第三方游戏信息公布，有几个是没有公布过的，都是核心向，有大作
vr网球不如ea那个
conduit开发商还有新游戏，可以多人游戏的
wsr估计还是不会有wifi模式
希望e3上有猫叔对应屁股的“疯狂作品”公布
