All I have to say is fuck that noise. More and more it seems like the big N is just forgetting about the people who read this blog, and live and breathe in the gaming community. It's super and all the way that they are making the big bucks off of Mom and Pop and Joe Blow, but where the fuck is my H.A.M.M.E.R????????????

They could have done alot with this game... a badass wii hammer controller among the awesomeness (kind of like the gh3 controller)

Rockvillian, that's hilarious.

It looked crappy but it was a step in a less kid orientated direction.. now Nintendo's stand is becoming increasingly clear.

Also, Sadness is next. Believe it!

Maybe someone will bring it to BS3 or Xbox 360!

*Fingers Crossed*

This is full of sadness!

Oh, come on... Manhunt 2, but no HAMMER?

I thought this game looked kinda like balls. I definitely wouldn't have boughten it. I hope they canceled the title because it was a bad idea, not to focus their effort on something else. They're making so much money right now I'm sure they could have finished it if they wanted to.

Get ready for Crazy Cow Tipping Madness coming soon.

Oh well, Capcom can carry the Wii, right Jim? I've played RE4 in all its iterations and I'm still not sick of it.

@Tristero
Ya I think Rev needs to eat some crow.

It looked good but I'm not gonna cry over it. Just bring us Duck Hunt damn soon. Plenty of other Wii games on the way.

wat is wit nintendo? even me, a hardcore ninty fan, am questioning their motives. i mean, yea, they bring in casual gamers, but what about us hardcores who hav been wit them from the beginning?

But Jim, calm down a minute, the game looked like shit, perhaps this was indeed the logical reason it got cancelled. Perhaps it has evolved into a completely new project. People hate the type of Wii games which rely on gimmicky controls demonstrating no step forward in terms of game interaction, yet this game looked like the prototype to all the gimmicky style waggle games which people like to bitch about right now.

It's very convenient that people are very positive about a Wii game that doesn't even exist. It's like "Told you so, it's just typical, the best game in the world is cancelled by Nintendo because they obviously don't want us to play good games".

The game looked like shit, it featured a crap nondescript muscle head character who goes round smashing up one slow forgettable enemy at a time with waggle movements replacing button bashing, it got cancelled because it was obviously shit, the way alarmists are using it as an example of "Nintendo raping the hardcore gamer" is pathetic.

If people want to make a case for Nintendo somehow delibertely destroying the bloodline of "real" gamers, then there has to be some credible consistency to that point. The fact that Nintendo has already released, and has known traditional games on the horizon instantly proves the old "Wii, destroyer of gaming's soul" argument, completely void. Boring guys, very boring.

My Wii is covered in dust...

Coolest. Doorstop. Ever.

Dammit, that concept art was looking so good!

Disaster better still be coming out, though.

If Sadness evanesces, I SELL THE WII

Awww hell naww
I just hope they dont cancel Sadness

is it coming to the Wu?

Zardoz: It's a matter of opinion that the game looked like shit. I'm well aware that people claimed as such, but I disagree, and Tristero actually had hands-on time with it and his opinions are posted earlier in the thread. He liked it, if you missed his post.

Saying Nintendo "has some real games" is similar to Nintendo's claim that they're serious about online gaming. Sure, there are a few token examples, but nothing that indicates any serious kind of movement. We have, what -- Metroid, Smash Bros. and Galaxy, all of which are old Nintendo failsafes anyway. H.A.M.M.E.R was, at least, a brand new IP.

We'll see what happens with Disaster: Day of Crisis.

This was expected, but disappointing none the less.

I have played this, and it was not a good game when it was a game. Seriously guys, you're not missing much. The resources for this title are better used elsewhere.

Your gonna get hammered by my wii!
