more info on wii boxing and more (from Fusion Tour feedback from 'normal people'

fresh impressions and info from a "Fusion Tour" thread on http://www.planetgamecube.com/forums/messageview.cfm?catid=28&threadid=17607

good to hear honest feedback from "normal people"..

Boxing (slow mo mode and tiredness!!)

"Boxing takes getting used to, also. It mimics your hands pretty well, but it takes timing. You can move faster than the animation, so you can't do lightning quick punches one after the other. And if you spend the whole time punching your character grows tired. If you hold both controllers up and push forward quickly, a slo-mo mode is activated, though I couldn't get a grip of it."


" you can block, just by putting your hands up in front of your face. Then you can dodge by blocking and then move to one side or the other. The gloves follow your movements pretty much 1:1. There is an invisible tether that keeps them from moving past a certain distance (think Rayman, no limbs). A couple of times our arms would get tangled, making for some weird punching/dancing. "

"The games were fluid and looked good. Tennis and Boxing were quick games to get into a fun to play. Perfect for the setup."


bowling


"bwling was badass. Hold B, place contoller in front of you, pull back, release B. Easy, except I kept releasing the button to olate causing my guy to toss the ball in the air. I did see one guy nail a score of over 200. Obviously, the problem lies in my own inept bowling skills,"






other random quotes..


"Baseball was good. I actually enjoy not having to field and run the bases. The sense of immersion is better in this title than in the others I played. As I was waiting for my friend to pitch, I could wag the remote next to my head and my on screen persona would react the same way. Very cool."

on graphics..

"First off, the games all look teriffic. Sharp and clean. Even the sports package, while lacking details, looked very nice and I have nothing to complain about. Anyone who does really needs to examine why they are playing games. At first I was disappointed by the lack of HD, and sent Nintendo a letter regarding it. I'm satisfied though."

"Zelda looked beyond beautiful. Not slowdown, brilliant art direction, smooth animations"

This is looking better and better, I wish I'd pre-ordered now; I just hope the Wii has lasting value though and is not a glorified EyeToy.

lol@ EyeToy. EyeToy's the shit. I thought of that game after seeing Wii's control system for the first time.
