Just Hanging Around

Sunday, March 2nd, 2008

As I said yesterday, my story water isn’t working anymore, seems like I drank too much. Though, this seems to be the time when a bunch of ideas are flowing out. Get ready for some new video game ideas to give the industry a boost.

It seems like the one complaint many people have made about the Wii and the other Nintendo systems is that they make great games for the systems, but they don’t make enough quickly enough. Sure, almost anyone would loveĀ  the lighthearted nature of Super Mario Galaxy and the great gameplay of Zelda: Twilight Princess, but those great breeds of games only come out like once a month. The other games that are just mediocre never bring anything new to the industry. Okay, I have to give it to them, the Internet access adds a lot of new ways to play online games, but for $5, that may not really count.

Okay, I’ve said a mouth load. Now, what to do about this problem? First off, so many great games come from independent programmers. How about have a collection of say the top 15 games for the IG festival, which you could buy online, and then use the Wii remote to control, it could produce some nice things. Or, just redo the controls. You would both have some brilliant minds working on some amazingly creative games, and later you may just have some of the best future developers. I’ve played a few of the best games, including the old version of Crayon Physics Deluxe, “Crayon Physics”, and that game alone would be in my library if it was for the Wii. Using the remote could cause magic. It just seems like some games were meant for certain systems, and this one is the killer application of freeware games for the Wii. Other top games were also fantastic. Just being able to play a few online for a few bucks apiece would be great!

Now, I’ve talked about the Wii enough, time to go onto the Nintendo DS, so I cover the two systems I have. Seems like Nintendo wants you to have more control over your movements with their systems…

I really like handheld systems, if there could just be one that had amazing graphics and steller gameplay, I bet that could win the championship for the DS over the PSP once again. I’ve found that some games that have great graphics on the top screen, but just flub it up on the bottom. A game might even have just the same image on the bottom screen. Seriously, there doesn’t seem to be much going on down there. Like with some other games on other systems like the XBox 360, how about use the Wi-Fi to say, have sports stats when you’re playing a sports game float on the bottom. I know it would be great to have chat rooms online with Pictochat, and that actually wouldn’t be that hard. If you would mix that with some other things like say the TV Tuner that was famed in Japan, you could have yourselves a DS bundle package to get people buying.

So, those are just a few ideas that I came up with in a flash to get the Nintendo truck moving a little quicker with orders, if you have any ideas or even have any comments or suggestions at any time, just say something in the comments section, I’ll try to respond.
