WiiCade 3.0

Posted by NegativeONE - August 19th, 2007

Hello friends,

As some of you may know, I co-own another site besides my own called WiiCade.com. WiiCade has been offering Wii-compatible games since the launch of the Wii itself, and we've just recently launched our third complete overhaul of the site. Some of the new features include:
-Awesome new additions to the WiiCade API including Nunchuk support, online multiplayer, WiiMote twist and distance from the screen, and 4 simultaneous WiiMotes
-A full redesign of the layout, look, and scheme
-Increased submission functionality including submission editing and unlimited sandbox
-Fancy javascript shit!

So it's definitely worth checking out. Developers especially, we'd love to get some more interest from you guys. Wouldn't it be neat to make a sniper game where you zoomed in by bringing the WiiMote closer to the screen, or a piloting game where you steered your craft through narrow spaces by twisting the WiiMote to rotate? And all this possible with 4 players, too.

That link again is http://www.wiicade.com , woo!

Woah, it has nunchuck support? I am so there

NegativeONE 2007-08-19 16:07:19

It has support, but no one has made a game that uses it yet :( Again - whatup developers? Maybe I ought to include that in my next project. My current one only uses the twist and the 4-player.

HappyDude0 2007-08-19 16:28:06

I might buy a Wii because of this. Really good work.

NegativeONE 2007-08-19 16:28:06

^______^

Kart-Man 2007-08-19 16:28:09

Yes, Nunchuk support! I've been waiting for something like that for ages. Thank you, good sir! :D

NegativeONE 2007-08-19 16:28:09

Aye, it's limited, admittedly. Only works for players 2-4, and no control stick yet. I hope that development comes through those, because I'd love to play a Flash game with control stick.

Mogly 2007-08-19 17:05:22

Man that is crazy. Thanks a bunch for sharing.

Have you tried Flash on a PS3 yet? It's alright, not something worthwhile but a fun gimmick. The bunny game by Ferry Halim is a fun one to play stoned.

NegativeONE 2007-08-19 17:05:22

Winterbells, or whatever? I like that one, heh. I haven't played a PS3 at all yet though, let alone Flash on a PS3. Perhaps sometime in the future.

Meebs 2007-08-19 17:11:51

Awesome, all those new additions to the API sound awesome.
Too bad my connection is horrible even though my router is in my room.

NegativeONE 2007-08-19 17:11:51

Dang : [

CrazyChihuahua 2007-08-19 17:14:42

I've had Wiicade in my Wii browser bookmarks pretty much since the browser came out, and all of that stuff sounds awesome. It is unfortunate that it hasn't been taken advantage of yet, but I look forward to playing games that do include some of those features. It'd be really nice if someone made a really nice game that included most if not all of those features for a really awesome game tailor-made for the Wii.

Keep up the awesome work with the site!

NegativeONE 2007-08-19 17:14:42

Thanks :) There are currently 5 games on WiiCade that use the new API, some of which use quite a few of the features. Just take a look at the front page lineup for these games.

BoMToons 2007-08-19 19:48:12

Blech, can't say I'm a fan of the new layout (at least in IE7) but hey, it probably looks much better through the Wii browser. The added functionality for editing and such sounds ace though.

If they can solidify that API and actually support flash 8+ in the Opera browser, then I can see some pretty awesome things happening with flash and the Wii.

NegativeONE 2007-08-19 19:48:12

The API is WiiCade's, and I would argue that it IS quite solid :P but the Flash version thing is in Opera and Nintendo's hands, so there's really nothing we can do about that.

Rudy 2007-08-19 20:00:04

This seems fun. Thanks for the update man! Time to go onto the Wii!

NegativeONE 2007-08-19 20:00:04

Whee!

PicoZX 2007-08-19 20:00:06

YAY!!

NEWGROUNDS RUMBLE ROCKS ( off topic )!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

robattle 2007-08-21 13:14:20

Would be but I have no game making skills.

Shaggytheclown17 2007-08-21 14:30:45

Im not too into the Wii, im still all about the playstation 2 thing.
Playstation 3 I heard is the worst money wasting system ever.

NightmareV3 2007-08-23 05:56:42

Hey your newgrounds rumble game rocks dude! please make a console verion think about it your be a millionair with all the people buying that game lol.

TheCriminalDuder 2007-08-23 07:24:45

I play Wii, PS3, & 360 Elite. In my opinion it none is better then the other 'cause you have fun playin' either or but, for the record I have a PS3. :)

Anyway I've noticed somethin' 'bout you recently... You only have games but have never made a movie. Theirs nothing wrong with that, in fact I like it. Your like one of the rare game-devouted poeple on the site. It's hard for me to even imagine programming all those games. How'd you learn to program anyway? 'Kay, well then... I look forward to your next game and I wouldn't mind seein' a full out consol game from you.

Rock on for now and BTY get some of that hair cut in the front. Mullets are the way of the future!!! :P

NegativeONE 2007-08-23 07:24:45

Heh, yeah. I've only made a couple of crappy little animations but none of them are attached to my NegativeONE account, currently. I'm definitely a big gamehead. I self-taught myself much of my programming knowledge through painful trial and error in Visual Basic 6.

Vengeance 2007-08-26 08:54:22

I'm liking all the AJAX stuff, I don't have a Wii so I can't play the games. But the design itself I think isn't looking too good. The frontpage itself looks like you've just jammed everything on there (though, I like the ajax game selection thing). It's all too central with no real distinct menu. The play game button on the game page needs to be moved up. Normally when you go to play the game it's near the top of the screen, I spent about 30 seconds looking for it.

It also seems too enlarged. All the fonts are huge which is kinda annoying. Other than that, it just seems like a sloppy, rushed design, but well coded in the backend.

NegativeONE 2007-08-26 08:54:22

You'll understand why all the buttons and everything are huge if you visit a site on the Wii ;)
