Today marks the first day of the Print Mail Call. Hopefully I can make this a regular Sunday thing. As always, send your letters to TheWiicast@gmail.com.


Hi Will,

I love your show, but there have been some oddities in this week's episode.
There was quite a bit of weird, faulty information, for instance:
- Metal Gear Solid 4 on Xbox360?
I thought Kojima had underligned how he wanted it to be exclusively on the PS3 after all
those rumours about it going to the 360 were on the web. It is strange that Will would
assume that a rumour that was already pretty much cleared up was true.
- Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End does NOT use the real actor's voices in any version
of the game. They are stand-ins and do sound really good, yes.
- The european PS3 version does have backwards compatibilites. There are some limitations
however. A list of compatible PS2 and PSX games can be found here: http://faq.eu.playstation.com/bc/
Plus Slipknot is Nu Metal afaik, but that's just me being annoying. :p

Nonetheless great job as always, I enjoyed watching it.

Kind regards from Berlin,
Christian aka aluman on your forums

PS: Your voice in the FF:CC trailer was unfortunately not loud enough for the music.

Christian, Thanks for the corrections. Yeah I was a little misinformed. I was under the impression that the PS3 had the Emotion Engine Chip removed for the PAL launch (True). However, You are correct I should have said "Limited Compatibility" instead of No Compatibility. As far as the Pirates review, I'll admit I was completely fooled by the voice acting. the sound-alikes are VERY good, lack of research on my part. I thought I stated that MGS MIGHT come to 360 and was unaware of the more recent statement by Kojima reconfirming the PS3 exclusivity. In my opinion however, they're missing an opportunity.
Finally, I'm surprised by the sound during the FF:CC trailer also. not sure what happened there. As for Slipknot, it doesn't matter. I still think they sound like a homeless person who forgot to take his pills beating a trashcan that has a cat in it.


Dear FozzieBear,

Hello Will! :) I am from Kelowna BC Canada, and I have been watching your show ever since you partnered with GT. and i was just wondering if you knew of a new Mario Golf that will be on the Wii? Also what do you think of the MySims for Wii? Do you like the look of it? (in my opinion, it looks like you are playing with a virtual Dollhouse!) Please let me know what you think!

D3vIN, (that's a bitch to type)
I have not heard anything (not even rumors) about a new Mario golf game
but I would almost guarantee that Nintendo will be flooding the Wii with all sorts of Mario themed sports games..Rest assured, golf will be among those. Mysims is pretty interesting (in concept) EA is really trying to win over the Asian audience with the style of the game. In my opinion, the make or break for this game is going to be whether or not EA decides to include online. A game like this will be worthless without decent multilayer or online components. However I'll have to reserve my final verdict until I actually get some playtime with the title.


Well guys, that's it for tonight. have a great Sunday and we'll see you for the show this week!
