Wii joysticks....? Does mas stick know how to make sticks out of GC controllers? if this does go down of course. net play? doubtful, 360 would have done it, but as long as it comes out for the wii, ill be grateful.

Yes, MAS does make GC sticks. What's more important is the support of 2D fighting games on the Wii. Someone tell Mr. Killian the Wii needs some Street Fighter!

Word has it Nintendo is being stingy about telling developers how to use Wii's wifi connection. Horrible rumors about Friend codes have reached my ears.

But the Wii is backward compatable with the GC controllers, it might work. Still, until I hear an official announcement, I won't get my hopes up.

Already posted about this in the other GG:AC thread, so I'll just copy-paste them to here also:

Aksys (the same supposed publisher who is supposedly releasing Slash in the US) isn't ArcSys. Chances are great that this is fake, especially since a staff member from Aksys has mentioned on their forum that they know nothing about GG.

You guys are getting way too worked up over nothing. Maybe you'll all be relieved though when Feb 9th rolls around and the supposed US version of Slash from Aksys doesn't come out either.

Hey, where'd you get that date for Slash? I looked through GameFly.com and the date for Slash was 07/31.

Hey, where'd you get that date for Slash? I looked through GameFly.com and the date for Slash was 07/31.

Play-asia has a US release date for US Slash as "Feb 9th 2007", published by Aksys (Possible mistranslation of Arcsys?). Someone from I believe dustloop went to the forums of Aksys games, who makes some golf stuff apparently, and asked about it:

http://www.aksysgl.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=31

They're response was "That's news to us". So Aksys is obviously not the correct publisher, which leads me to believe that it was meant to say Arcsys and it's just a bunch of misinformation.

*shrug* We'll find out in a few days I guess.

Well, it certainly is feasible that it could get a port to the Wii (as porbably a dual release with PS2); out of all the next-gen consoles, the Wii is easily the one that is the most "2D friendly" (not counting Digital distribution through Download services). Plus, if SNKP does indeed make the Wii its new campsite for its 2D wares, I'm sure Arc Systems would at least like to keep the option open for competition.

But all in all, I would need a much more credible source than GAMEFLY to really believe this bit of news. And then I would demand an Arcade stick from ASCII for the Wii. ^_^

me neighter, or not like that...

herm... aksys (or whatever) is supposed to "publish" GGAC on the Wii, right?

1. What the hell is Aksys anyway? a new Partner of Arc System Works? a Sub-branch of SEGA? ...I bet on a misspelling form ArcSys.
2. Why isn't SEGA publishing the game? (Slash was published in Arcades, on PS2 and PSP by Sega... AC was realeased in the arcades by SEGA as well...)
3. It might release on the super-fanboys-favourite plateform, but it will definitely NOT be an exclusive release.

GG AC (naomi version) resolution is higher than 480p, if it's ported to the Wii, we'll have one more crappy rez GG at home!

1. Aksys games is a branch off of former Atlus employees. Atlus did a lot of translating/publishing of foreign games.
2. Because if a third party has the rights to the game (which would be the case if Aksys is releasing it), the game's publishing RIGHTS are purchased. Arc Systems is the Developer of the game, Sega is the Japanese publisher, making Aksys the American Publisher in this hypothetical situation.
3. This has absolutely no relevance to the point made nor has any reference to back it up.

None of the GG games for consoles have crappy resolution, most of them are anti-aliased by default because the option makes the game look less pixelated. Worse comes to worse they just scale down the game's playing field by a few pixels, like the PSP version of #R/Slash/Judgement.

This isn't to say I'm not extremely skeptical of the entire situation, however I love seeing posts bolstered with enough bullshit to be unsanitary for ANYONE'S intelligence.

Wii and PS2 are the most likely of candidates for Guilty Gear though, Wii is EXTREMELY popular in Japan, and PS2 still has plenty of a userbase, however I don't know how willing Sony would be to accept a new 2D PS2 game.

As long as they allow full GC & Classic controller use, and do not force it to somehow make use of the Wiimote stuff.

Then its all Good! :wonder:

02-04-2007, 11:07 PM

Funny though how Aksys is former Atlus employees, seeing as how Atlus published the very first GG.

How did you figure out this?
Naomi video output is 31khz max, 31khz = 640x480 progressive (it can probably do 720x480 like the dreamcast though), so it can't be higher than 480p.

Hmmm this is rather interesting.Turth be told, I rather have it on wii, because of the netplay.As far as the PS2 thing....i dunno.I would rather see it on the PS3 with online play.

Ghaleon

02-05-2007, 12:03 PM

It's much more likely to come to the Wii, even without taking this rumor/news into consideration. Most certainly not releasing on any Xbox, and Sony views 2-D as a detriment to their systems -- why should they give a shit about GG, esPECIALly now and on their next gen.

This follows up w/ SNK saying how strongly they'll support the Wii based on its 2-D friendliness.

It would be weird if it didn't come to Playstation 2 though, as well. 480p is all you need.

catchin feelings over a console...Accent Core is a great game but if it's on Wii its gonna suck.PS3 or 360 will be the better choice.I would probably buy the game anyway even if it does suck but i will probably own it just to have and not to play.I'm not ccomfortable with the Wiimote, everything i have played on Wii so far except Wii sports has sucked to me becuase of that stupid ass controller , if accent core isn't compatible with the classic controller and they try some interactive shit it's probably gonna suck balls like dbz tenkaichi.juss my opinion though, u don't have to take it to heart becuase u like the console

Anyways, does anyone know of anyone PS2 to GC converters? Whether or not this is true yet, it's rather obvious all the 2D fighters are coming to Wii over PS3 and 360 anyway.

UltraDavid

I'd much much (much) rather this game come out on Wii than PS3 and Xbox. Why? Because the Wii costs half to a third of the price of the others. 2d fighters fit in better with Nintendo's philosophy, too; graphics are nice, and we'll make them nice, but when it comes down to it, gameplay is more important.

I'd be fine with moving to Wii instead of the others, though. Eventually we'll all have to get either new sticks or new converters for our PS2/etc sticks, might as well be Wii.

RedPhase

02-05-2007, 05:06 PM

The development costs for Wii are like 1/5 of PS3 and 360. More budget for balancing/enhancing the game engine.

i just hope this hits ps2 as well

Hmm... interesting. I can see a release for the GC, and being bc with the Wii. Makes sense to me to target two consoles with one format of the game: Those with a GC and no Wii, and those with a Wii (doesn't matter if they have a GC or not, BC)

I have my Innovation PS2->GC converter just in case this does go down.

Edit: Also, I don't see it on the list of games to be released for any system as I work at Gamestop part time.

I'll admit though, in any case, ain't it a lil soon to be announcing a home port for any console? Game's still practically a spring chicken in the arcade scene.

It's Guilty Gear XX, a game that has been re-hashed almost more than Street Fighter II. It's never too soon for a console release in that case. :D

In any case...the truth will be told some time, sooner or later.

Well, consider how frequently we have been getting updated versions of GG and how the usual arcade to console transfer time is.

Honestly, given the Wii's popularity and cheapness, I'd be surprised if we didn't see it on a Wii. The only thing that would hinder it, would be the Wiimote controls, you know they would add.

Yeah, and the GC Pad isn't exactly much better in terms of button layout, although the Classic Controller would be decent.

worst case scenario, ebay it. but there hasn't been a GG game that hasn't had some sort of controller promotion, so there's a good chance a stick will be available for it when/if it's available for the wii.

Arcade perfect or not PS2 is going to be the tournament standard, no one is going to want to dick with trying to find wii converters for their custom sticks, HRAPS, and so on.

Not to mention the vast majority of the GG players in the nation have already invested in the PS2 version. I love GG and I love the wii, but im not about to shell out hundreds of bucks for another copy and a converter to play something I can already play just fine for a tournament setting.
