What do you guys think of the recent rumors regarding potential games for the Wii, specifically DMC and Nights. Assuming these rumors are true, do you think these types of games will have a big affect on Wii sales and, more importantly, longevity, or is this Resident Evil on the GC part 2?

Also, to further the Nights speculation, what is your opinion on Sega porting old Saturn titles as downloadable content for the Wii? (Which, BTW, sounds like a MUCH more profitable venture than a sequel would.)

Cheapy, I've seen pictures of an N-Gage booth at E3 this year. Did you go to the booth, and if so how pathetic was it?

Mr. D, Mr. t,
Recent previews of the Superman Returns game have revealed it to be of the open-ended persuasion, like Ultimate Spiderman, Spiderman 2, and The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction. Now my question to you two is: Has the open-ended "sandbox" aspect become an integral part of any comic book lone superhero game? I mean, look at the recent games for Batman Begins and The Punisher, they were widely criticized as being too plain. Would a sandbox aspect have helped these games?

Give us a behind-the-scenes "look" at the making of a typical CAGcast. For example: How long does it take to record a show? Who decides what content will be discussed? How much planning goes into a typical show? What kind of editing, if any, is involved? Is there a set time during the day that you record?

last call for CAGcast #31

I already forgot it...PM me, perhaps.

You have been PM'd sir.

Now that a price and final specs, size, potential launch titles for PS3 have been announced, from what you've seen, how are the Japanese reacting to the PS3 now?

Do you think riding off the huge success of the DS Lite, do you think the Wii could outsell the PS3 in Japan?

Do you think it's possible to 'win' in Japan without Square Enix?

Any or all.

on chose your path games what do you chose, light or dark

I agree the reason they released the price because gamers under 22 years will have to save for a long time to have the $800 cash to buy the system. The funny thing is that in 95 when Sega released the Saturn, Sony stole their thunder by saying the price of their system is $299. $100 less than Sega. I think Nintendo should have played the price card and annonced their price right after Sony with the price of $199. I can't see how the PS3 is worth an Xbox 360 AND a Nintendo Wii.

360 + Wii > PS3

I see Sony having some problems selling this beyond 5 Million units at this price.

OT question for CAGCast 32. I just saw a news story about canned oxygen being sold in Japan for roughly $5 US. Supposedly it allows around 30 "puffs" of oxygen for an "energy boost."

Since you spent your (arguably) hard-earned money on the Final Fantasy potion, are you going to give us a review of this cool new product?

EDIT: I also have an on-topic question. Famitsu did a post E3 survey on what console/games the Japanese games are looking forward to. The Wii was by far the most anticipated with 68% of the vote. Is this surprising to you given that the Japanese gamers are so Sony-centric?

What's the difference of this and Oxygen bars that are in the US? Portability?

Blu-Ray DVD players will fail unless the price drops significatly. HD-DVD players will also need to drop quickly.

BTW: I just purchased an HDMI Toshiba DVD player for $60. HD-DVD players will need to hit $200 to $300 to become popular.

Yeah, I guess.

Who do you see in first place, second place and third place three years from now in the console wars?

First off let me say that you guys are by far the best thing out there in videogames news and reviews. The others bore but you freaks score and I am a fan for life.
Actually I was impressed you even answered my question last week so heres one more..
I would like to know if Cheapy or Wombat have heard anything about the rumor that Sony might be encrypting their games on PS3 so as to only work on the system for which they are first played on. Thus making trade ins impossible as well as killing any sort of used market? I know this topic is probably a non issue but Sony did in fact license the Technology for this so..... How are you guys doing anyway?

Hey guys. I love listening to your show.

Do you think there will be any new companys getting into the hardware business within the next 5 years?

Why do you guys completely ignore PC games on the CAGCast? Even if you don't play them, you could at least mention them in the new releases. Heroes of Might and Magic V was the biggest game this week, for example.

Also, you said that the controls of Zelda weren't intuitive at E3. But isn't it possible that that may just be because they threw you in the middle of the game with a lot of stuff? When you actually play through it, they'll probably introduce the aspects of the controller to you one by one, because Zelda games always hold your hand.

What will Sony do with the PS3 if Blu-Ray fails to become the standard and HD-DVD wins?

I'm sure there won't be a clear-cut winner for at least a year after the PS3 launches, but if it does indeed fail, will the PS3 become just an extremely expensive piece of hardware that happens to play video games? And would you think Sony would drastically cut the price and market it as a video game console only?

Cheapy and Wombat, which of the following nerd culture web fads do you find the least entertaining: Chuck Norris, Snakes on a Plane, or giant enemy crabs?

Hey CheapyD,

Since you can't watch TV in Japan, why not get one of those Slingbox things from Sony, ask your family to hook it up to a TV in the US of A and then watch american TV in Japan? Oh yeah I think I should mention another good gaming podcast, VGN Radio. It's more of a casual yet hillarious show that might die due to various reason. So please look it up on iTunes or go to VGNradio.com
