Quantcast



Nursery-room appropriate music? Check. Japanese guy saying "Ackushun Addvenchu-aaahhh"? Check. Gamecube quality graphics. That's an affirmative. Put them all together, and you know what we've got; another PokePark Wii trailer.

Don't assume that when I say "Gamecube quality" graphics, that I mean it in a bad way. On the whole, I'd rather look at graphics from five years ago than the dermatologically handicapped dudes often found on the HD-consoles. Sometimes detailed graphics just aren't important, and I see nothing about PokePark Wii that warrants more detailed visuals. Watching Pikachu headbutt squirrels in the ass and periodically get his mime on is a guaranteed good time, regardless of the resolution.

I'm comfortable enough with my manhood to say that PokePark Wii looks promising. Taking real-time Pokemon combat and combining it with the type of mini-games found in Pokemon Stadium 1 and 2 is a fine idea. The game is set for pre-order in Japan right now, and if NoA passes on it like they have so many other NoJ games, I'll probably import it.

How about you? You feeling this low-res, Pokemon head-to-ass butting thing?

No button mashing, please! Also, how many times did I hear "tomodachi" in that vid? I should have known this game would be filled with the power of FRIENDSHIP!!

I was skeptical of this game upon reading the articles, but this trailer looks really fun.

Why does this game look like doo doo? There is absolutely no reason for a current gen Wii game to look like horse $&%@. Graphics don't mean anything, but why not provide something that is on par with the other PokeMon Wii game?

Anyone who thinks that looks like an N64 game clearly has not played an N64 games recently.

Anyway, I'm not sure where the criticism of the graphics is coming from. It looks pretty nice to me: colorful, clean, and true to the style of the Pokemon games/show. There's even some nice effects here and there.

I dare say, it looked pretty fun, too.

I have to say even though I was insulting it in earlier threads it looks a lot better in motion.

Should it look better: Yes

Is Game cube quality with a decent frame rate STILL better than 70% of Wii games: Yes

Also it's being developed by Creatures.Inc and Creatures.Inc usually cancels out Ambrella.

.... There's combat? I thought it was just gonna be a bunch of mini-games. If the combat is fun, and the mini games aren't too much, I'd actually like to pick this one up!

I'm pretty sure Tomodachi is friend in Japanese... so, it's ok that you heard it lots.

I might actually dare to pick it when some kid gets bored of it an drops it at some used games store.

Im man enough to play it, but i might send an undercover agent (kid) to buy it!

I think that I hate Nintendo now.

Seriously, A 3D pokemon action-adventure game, if done right, would be the GREATEST THING EVER.

And instead, the FUCKING DO THIS.

I'm gonna have to side with Mr. Holmes on this one and say better graphics aren't really needed.

Another great post from the Resident Nintendo Defense Counselor.

Seriously, if you think this game is appropriate for anyone that isn't a child, I cannot agree in any aspect. And while excellent graphics certainly aren't imperative to a game, I couldn't even compare this to most gamecube games.

This doesn't look nearly as bad as you guys are suggesting. The part where Pikachu was running through the forest was downright pleasing.

But yeah, I'm still waiting for that procedurally-driven-gameplay Pokemon MMO.

And I'll probably be waiting for along time.

Not to mention, it seems to be running at a consistent 60 FPS, which is more than I can say for most Wii games.

This looks like N64 game? Looks more like an early Gamecube game at the worst to me.

Echoing the love for the Pikachu/Mr. Mime scene.

And, really, the game does not look as mediocre as the screenshots suggested (which is a problem for many Wii games). That is not to say that the game looks technically spectacular, yet it does reflect the lack of intricacy seen in the cartoon show and other Pokemon games. One could even argue that it is "good enough."

What the fuck is everyone complaining about. The game is very visually pleasing. It looks great. More importantly, it looks fun.
