Nintendo DS Media | First Shots of Rubiks Cube [news]

I wonder if it'll emulate getting the blocks sticky :O:O:O

Is this for real?

I didn't know that the second one is a rubic's cube too.

I dunno. I better walk myself down some garage sales and pick a real one up. What does the game contain? Only turning a cube around?

that's funny?

Now I can finally stop carrying around my rubik's cube and just take my DS!

Sigh, I swear this will instantly hit the bargain bin. Who would buy this if you can get the real thing, that's pretty much as portable, for free?

You just wonder what type of people buy these type of games.

You can get a rubik's cube as a free MacOSX dashboard widget.

There's a growing volume of crap on the DS at the moment (well in Japan at least).

What are you people talking about!? This is the most innovative use of the dual and touch-screens YET!!

Whats with the blocky graphics? Heh, just jesting.

Kinda ironic, seeing as the portable games industry is often likened to the Rubix Cube.
This should either work really well, or will clash like a white bear in tartan pants. Effin chavs.
Oh and btw, this had better not retail for more than the original Rubix, thats cannibalism y'know.

It doesn't matter what they show or what they try to tell us. Nintendo lied to us. Just read the article from the link below. Wii hardware is nothing but a gamecube 1.5. I can't believe they fooled with the several interviews saying that Wii will look a little less than a 360 on standard TV.

"The hardware is basically a GC. We've upgraded our development tools to new versions but, you can still use GC programs as they are. With that in mind, I thought we could remake GC titles for the Wii and modify them to work with the Wii remote so that they're more fun to play."

Hmm... I thought I clicked on the Nitnendo DS board...

Nobody really expected it to be alot more..It's just the price I argue with. 180 pounds pfft..

^The Wii is highly optimised, that means defined hardware from available technology, they never lied about that, also, I think you'll find many GC games look better than some 360 launch titles. Resi4?
I think Nintendo's statement still stands, and comments like these often depend on the style of a games look, WindWaker wouldnt look any better on the PS3 or 360 on a standard widescreen.

I think people won't buy this game, I certainly won't. the real one is much cheaper.
Also, the wii isn't just 1.5 times the power of the Game cube, that was just an early development kit. The people of the website you found made up a phoney interview.

Rubik's Cube was MASSIVE, so this will be an attempt to lure in the older gamers or non-gamers. If it's priced right it could take off...who knows!

Rushhour? or whatever that thing should be called.
Good game.
Virtual Rubix cube is a bit stupid...allthough they could do a solver system (eg ,you position the colours, and it shows you how to solve it for that position).

Why not fix the title more though, and have
"Rubix snake" "Rubix magic" ect as well.

Nintendo didnt lie, wtf, they been saying its based on gamecube hardware from day 1.
There point is it *does* look simerla on standard teles.
The Xbox360 needs a lot more power to render at HD and keep a decent framerate.
Coupled with the fact developers dont have time to push hardware to their limits. (how many games used the cube as well as Re4 did?)

Wii games are looking considerable worse then the 360 at the moment...but then...most are looking worse then Cube games.
Its not the hardware to blame, its development times and budgets.
The best Xbox360 games will beat the crap out of Wii games in terms of looks, but the average game will look the same on the average tv.
imo.

Whats the secind image about

It says "father""daughter"mother""young person""young man" and so on...

And I wonder if it can emulate peeling off the stickers and sticking them in the right place

shill

What the hell?

Dammit i could never complete that cube in real life and now it is taunting me in virtual form as well

It just looks so boring. Just get a real one for a fraction of the price and let your system do more important things such as Mario and Zelda.
