Re: NHL 2K9 Video (Gamespot)

I'm not expecting much from this title on Wii just because of the console's history of weak sports titles. What I am expecting, though, is solid control. The developers are really pushing "control" this year and this title must live up to the immense hype surrounding it. The Wii version of 2K9 should be the one 2K and VC need to emphasize, especially with EA's series currently winning the battle on 360 and PS3. With Wii, 2K has a chance to innovate hockey video gaming themselves since they're the only game in town.

Gameplay and control will ultimately be the two most important factors in whether or not this game succeeds, and past 2K hockey titles have had a history of dropping the ball in those departments. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Yes, and after the MLB 2K8 debacle on the Wii, 2K Sports really needs to shine here...

While I agree about the fighting looking great.. the rest of it looks like 2k8 with slightly better models at least in. Whoop ti do. Whats with all the focus on the Wii? Have they basically conceded the 360/PS3 to EA or what? Why haven't we seen jack at all about the 360 version?

My thoughts exactly. I think they're concentrating everything on the Wii because there's no competition there.

The fighting mechanics looked cool and could be very fun.
However, with the graphics lacking, I hope the controls are intuitive enough to give Wii owners an enjoyable title.

I'm still dying for some next-gen footage and/or information.

With NHL09's demo rumored to be dropping in the next 3 weeks, 2K needs to get on the ice (if not the arena all together).

Patience. All I know is it's a must buy for myself. I'm sure the 360 version will be fine. You say "slightly better models"? I say it looks brilliant, but oh well to each his own. NHL 09 will be out at the same time so we will both be happy.
