This week sees the return of Paul to the crew, but unfortunately, Jordan’s voice is shot so he can’t make it a team of three. However, Jonah is happy over having a new iPad Air, while Paul laments unemployment. This week’s Gaming Flashback is Team Ninja’s classic Ninja Gaiden for the Xbox.
The news for the week includes:
- Microsoft pulls page discussing Titanfall online preloading
- Report: Ouya Everywhere puts games on TV, PC without the Ouya
- EU takes on “misleading” free-to-play games
- Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2studio boss, “One must be blind or stupid to give it a 4/10?
- Nintendo separates Quality of Life business unit from consoles
- Project Milo isn’t coming back
No Question of the Week – listener questions are wide open.
The same company that brought us the NES Advantage has proven the Wii control scheme isn’t as bad as critics speculated. The beauty of adding the “waggle” technology is limiting your button count to a reasonable level without overwhelming gamers.
Sony took pieces of this concept in their PS3 controller and its ability to detect “tilt.” Xbox 360 stuck with the beefy controller with lots of buttons and analog sticks. Not just a D-Pad but two analog sticks and a ton of buttons to press, some pressure sensitive as well. What of our next-generation console? Maybe a few new buttons?
Hey, follow me back on twitter Jonah 🙂
