Battle Revolution now in widescreen?

[GoldChaos]

It seems Nintendo released a trailer for the N. American version of PBR.

The thing is, it's in a 16:9 widescreen ratio. If I recall, the Japanese version did not have widescreen.

Even an IGN preview of the game at the Media Summit states the game's in widescreen.

It, like most other Wii games, probably display in fullframe on 4:3 TV's but will also fill up a widescreen TV (and giving you more image) if your Wii is hooked up to one.

 

[GoldChaos]

That's not what I was saying.

True, Wii games will be in Fullscreen if played on 4:3 TVs and Widescreen if played on 16:9 TVs, but only if the support is coded in.

And according to this preview of the Japanese release, where was no proper 16:9 support. And I believe they wouldn't say that without trying to try it out.

All I'm really saying is that I think it's good that Nintendo is a least adding proper widescreen support for the N. American release, and gives hope for another Nintendo Wii title that was released in Japan with no widescreen support.

Please. Is there honestly any need for this?

But I should have seen it coming. First the movies, now they'll release the games in wide for really no good reason...

Guys, forget that..The announcer is back, although it's the guy that does the narration for the anime.

That's even worse! Ted Lewis did a wonderful job with Pokémon Stadium and Pokémon Stadium 2. Why in the name of all that is good and holy would they not hire him as the announcer?

Maybe they couldn't? I don't know, I just watched that demo video and the new dude(Ken Gates, is it?) sounded decent to me. I'm pumped for this and hopefully I can get it this summer.

Ooh! I saw it! I saw the Wi-Fi demo for the English Version on youtube. The narrator guy's actually pretty good, except that he's pretty bland compared to Ted Lewis.

He's all like "Wartortle is sent out."

No, duh.

TGB, the game will still be in Fullscreen as well.

I'm gonna miss the japanese annoucer's voice. "*random japanese*IS DOWN~!!!!!!!!!!!!11" That was the shit.

 

[Nando]

Whew, that's a relief. We don't need the widescreen war spilling over onto the games, even though the anime thing in general is getting dangerously close with the presence of Ken Gates on it...

Could someone link me to the trailer with Ken Gates being heard? I want to hear for myself...though I doubt he can top Ted Lewis, who was amazing in Stadium.

It's not like the announcer is one set character that MUST be voiced by the same guy each time.

And Ted Lewis wasn't extremely great, one problem he had was mispronounciation of names, like "E-kans".

This might be the one. You'll have to turn up the volume at certain points to hear the announcer's voice over the spokeman.
