N-Query June 30th

A lot of entertaining tidbits on this weekends edition of N-Query, courtesy of IGN. 

Naruto For Wii?
I’m a big fan of Naruto and can’t wait for Clash of Ninja 2 to come out. Do you think 3 and 4 will make it to the US? Either as a Gamecube game or a Wii game played with Gamecube controllers? From what I’ve read online, the 4th one is the best. Also, does it really take them this long to translate all the text and get the English voice actors to do some lines? I really want Clash of Ninja 2 now.

Hey man. Yeah, the Naruto games are amazingly good. I’ve had the chance to get into all four, and they rock the socks. Luckily, each one gets better and better, so you aren’t missing anything by grabbing Naruto before Naruto 2, or 2 before 3. We do know that the first Naruto game is selling very well, so getting Clash of Ninja 3 and 4 is definitely a possibility. We took a quick moment to contact D3 about a comment, and unfortunately the only official statement right now is “We’ll have more news shortly.” 

I can say, however, that if it wasn’t for a new console on the way I’m almost 100% positive that we’d be getting all four Naruto: Clash of Ninja games in the US. The trick now will be to figure out the best way of putting them on Wii, and deciding then if it is worth jumping to the next system. If it is in fact on the way for Wii, why not take some time to add some Wi-Fi gameplay? It’s going to be a while down the road, so you might as well give the fans something to really go crazy for, right? Just a thought.

Also, much of the waiting time that comes with bringing a Japanese title to America has to do with legal issues and marketing. Just the way it goes…

Wii Sports
We know about WiiSports, and that Nintendo are passing around a few other similar ideas for these games that are low on graphics, high on easily accessible gameplay. What do you see Nintendo doing with these? If they come up with enough ideas, do you think we could see “Wii___” turn into something much like the Touch Generations games on DS? 

Also, do you think we’ll see some kind of demo disk with the Wii, to try and give people a kick start into the world of Wii gaming?

-Shamay-

 

Don’t be fooled by simplicity. This game actually rocks.

Should Wii get its own version of “Touch Generations”? Oh definitely. In fact, it seems almost essential. If games are going to be hitting various price points, or focusing on entirely different genres than consumers are used to, Nintendo practically has to do something to set the games apart from others. Who knows, maybe one of the registered names (I personally like WiiAreOne…Just sounds cool) released a while ago will shed some light on it.As for the pack-in idea, I’d love for Wii Sports to come with the system. No word on that yet, though.
