Talk:Trauma Center: Second Opinion

Angie Apperance Change
Is it worth mentioning in the article(maybe under trivia or something) that Angie looks significantly different in the Wii Version compared to DS. Since she is the only main character to undergo and significant appearance change.

EXCUSE ME? Everyone looks totally different. They gave Derek birthin' hips. Where the hell is Victor. Why is Von Karma in this game? He's in the background of the front cover. Let himself go, a bit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kakeshi challenge (talk • contribs) 20:49, August 30, 2007 (UTC)


 * I said significant. Characters have miner changes. "derek's birthin' hips" as an example, but Angie doesn't even look like she's supposed to be the same person. 70.78.84.7 (talk) 18:37, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Sequel or remake?
This game is in fact a sequel, not a remake. -- (Unsigned) Link

A "wii-make"; they went there, didn't they? -- Old Guard 06:31, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

This month's Nintendo Power clarifies that this is definitely a remake (err, yes, "wii-make") and not a new title or sequel. Since Atlus apparently started development quite recently (roughly January or February of 2006), there wasn't enough time to do a full fledged sequel. -- Slordak 02:49, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Hoax?
google search turns up nothing. If no one can provide a reference, i'm labeling this article a hoax. --Philo 06:58, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Two New Tools
I just did an interview with Atlus USA (located here: http://wiivolve.com/article.php?articleId=13&page=1) and they said that there would be two new tools, but only one of them is known to the public at this time (Defibrillator). I'm going to add this to the article. WiiVolve 07:13, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

The other two may be the "Flashlight/Torch"(Probably called torch in British version) and the "flash Camera" in the Z-mission "Pursuit" were called new tools in the game manual.

Story
To be honest, I know very little about the story in Chapter 6, and it would be nice if someone who knows more about the game would edit the story section and also leave out any blanks I left out. --NelsonJ 23:21, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

The article assumes a complete knowledge of the game on which this is based. As I have no knowledge of either this or the previous game, it'd be nice if someone who's played at least one could flesh out some of the more basic details involved in the game - storyline, premises, basic concepts, etc. lithium3141 23:07, 27 December 2006 (UTC)


 * I've put up a gameplay section back in Under the Knife and linked back to that from this article, is that was you were looking for? --Masem 00:44, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Trivia
Snakes on a plane.. no. Caduceus on a Plane is not related to that. Snakes used to staff of Hermes (Surprise, surprise, a medical symbol) and so does a medical game! Nothing to do with each other. (Previous unsigned comment made by HalosLikeNooses).
 * Having played the original and this version, the fact that the one mission that actually takes place on a plane gets a name change in the Wii version to what would be the rather unoriginal "Caduceus on a Plane" would seem to be a stupid move, but when considering the "Snakes on a Plane" movie, in conjunction with the Caduceus symbol and the snakes on it, makes this title a rather clever pun. --Masem 05:04, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Missing Anything Important?
I was wondering, I know that Second Opinion is essentially a remake of Under the Knife (Which I have not played) and have heard that the final chapters are different in both. I looked up both entries on Wiki (hence be being here) and confirmed this, but I was wondering if since aparantly alot of things are implied from Under the Knife in Second Opinion in regards to Chapter Six. I was wondering if Id be missing anything important by not playing the DS version or not, since I noticed there were also several "major changes" in the levels too. I just dont want to miss anything that could be important.

Lestrad

Yeah, you kinda would be. It's only chapter six though, they made a new chapter six, a year after the original one, so it continues the plot. I would suggest it, though I havn't done it myself. Silverfireshadow 04:38, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

EU Release Date
I'm changing the release date for the EU back to "TBA". The site that's listed as the source for the 30th March release date seems to be pretty unreliable - they also listed Metroid Prime 3 for a 23rd February release date, which is just plain untrue. Also, official sites like Nintendo Europe have no concrete release date for it in the EU. Kupos 19:41, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
 * At least 2 other dates have since been added, changed, removed, changed again, reverted, etc... In the absence of any source (official or otherwise) I've reverted back to TBA for both EU and AU. Spiral Wave 16:41, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Release Date
Numerous 3rd party Wii games were released on November 15, 2006 in America. That's when I purchased the game. I don't know why games were released 4 days early, but they were. Whenever I update this page to add in the correct release date, it is edited out. -YoshiRox10
 * Source? Geoff B 20:17, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

GameSpot: http://www.gamespot.com/wii/adventure/traumacentersecondopinion/index.html

It lists the shipping date, the 14th.

I understand that the game is widely considered to be released on the 19th, and even the website says the 19th, but many people were able to purchase this game on the 15th. I'll e-mail Atlus as verification. I honestly had the game in my hands on the 15th.

-YoshiRox10

Game FAQS also says the shipping date is the 14th: http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/wii/data/933018.html

I'lle-mail atlus soon asking them about this.

atlus' top selling game?
I wanted to add this sentence to the article:

Since it was a launch title for the Wii, TC:SO has become the top selling game in Atlus' history.

I remember reading this somewhere but cant find it now, and I'd like to have a reference to make sure I didn't misinterpret anything. Little help? Tehw1k1 03:04, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Maybe in the US, but not world wide. The Shin Megami Tensei series is pretty big in Japan. It's third to Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy as far as popular RPG series go. You'll definitely want that citation. 121.45.222.135 15:20, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Name of female playable doctor
Her name is Kimishima in my American copy. Am I nuts? EgyptianSushi 21:34, 8 May 2007 (UTC) Hmm.. maybe she mentioned it being her real name somewhere or something? Now it's saying Weaver. (Wii-ver? Wii version only character? haw haw). ... and now I notice in the later episodes they call her Kimishima in the American one. So the article should be changed eh? EgyptianSushi 21:37, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

They call her Weaver (I never noticed the Wii-ver thing, it is similiar to Stiles=Stylus, DS=Derek's initials) in the earlier levels because she is under a fake name, she then reveals her identity later in the game.


 * Her "current" name is Nozomi Weaver, she has a former name which Kimishima is the family name. By the way, why is it that the article has her name down as Naomi here and there? Shouldn't that be fixed up? 121.45.222.135 15:17, 26 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I think Weaver does not mean "Wii-ver", but together with "Nozomi" (のぞみ,could be 臨み or 望み), I don't know any Japanese) it becomes "Hope Weaver".--Kakurady 00:36, 2 October 2007 (UTC)


 * It's actually a reference to Dr. Weaver from ER. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.57.129.151 (talk) 01:48, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Needs specifics on gameplay/What the game is like
I came here to see how this game plays, and am finding instead "it plays like the other one that it is based on" essentially. I've never played the game, but I'm hoping someone can edit it to treat it as it's own entity, and maybe mention as a side note that it's based on something else/continues out of something else, etc. Just a thought.
