Virt-Euro-L Console Friday

By seaempty. Friday, 16. May 2008, 08:35:29

, , , ...


It's the last week of the Hanabi Festival today, and the updates end with 3 more previously-unreleased-in-the-EU titles.

NEW+ Star Parodier (TurboGraFX - 900 Points)

NEW+ Digital Champ Boxing (TurboGraFX - 700 Points)

NEW+ Grey Lancer (Mega Drive - 800 Points)

If Digital Champ Boxing is anything like Super Punch-Out, I may have to give it a whirl.

The updated list of EUVC games can be found here, along with the NAVC games here, and the Japan VC games here.

Viva Pinata DS

By CaptainSeagull. Wednesday, 14. May 2008, 18:51:27

, , , ...


So the news is out, Viva Pinata: Pocket Paradise :eyes: ... is not only real, it's finished. Apparently there is no release date, but a risky quote from Rare pretty much sums it up:
And Viva Piñata DS is complete. We are just waiting for our army of university interns, illegal immigrants and small children from the local schools to assemble the hand-made cartridges that we'll be selling at all good flea markets this Sunday.

Til Kingdom Come

By seaempty. Wednesday, 14. May 2008, 16:50:29

, , , ...


I quite enjoyed MySims on the Wii. It was fun to play, and highly entertaining. EA have announced a sequel called MySims Kingdom, and it promises to go all medieval on your asses.

It boasts an "epic" storyline, new and old characters, the ability to travel to different lands, and new building abilities. This includes building "contraptions" as well as buildings and furniture. I'm thinking trebuchets and siege towers...

What do you think? Do you like the new theme?

The game will be released on the Wii and DS this Autumn.

Wii Ware Reviews

Just a quick post to let you know that N+ member evaunit6 has created a thread in the forums for people to post their reviews and thoughts on the various Wii Ware titles as they get released.

MK has already given his thoughts on Pop, and it'd be great if we could compile loads of reviews to help people decide what to spend their precious Wii Points on.

You know the story, two pokemon games sell awesome, make a third with small changes here and there and you got a billion seller on your hands: Red'n'Blue had Yellow, Gold'n'Silver had Crystal, Ruby'n'Saphire had Emerald, and It looks like Daimond'n'Pearl will have a Platinum! Who here is poke-pumped?! This, for now, will be counted as rumor, because it's not OFFICIAL, well at least not in official english, british or aussie. Anyway "Read more"... for the scans from Corocoro Magazine...

Atari Announce Family Trainer For The Wii

By seaempty. Tuesday, 13. May 2008, 16:28:47

, ,


You can just imagine the Atari board meeting:

EXEC 1: Hey! This casual gaming malarkey is really taking off! We should get us some of that!
EXEC 2: You could be onto something there... look at those brain training thingies, and the motion controlled wotsits. People eat that up!
EXEC 1: Let's have a look at what Nintendo are doing. That Wii is the SHIZZLE. Wait a minute... Wii Fit? What's that?
EXEC 1: Well from the looks of it, it's a game that you control with a board.
EXEC 2: A what? A board? Like one of those dance mat things?
EXEC 1: A little. We could so do that! How hard can it be? We'll just release a game with cutesy graphics, and call it "Family... something", you know, to make it look like we care about getting the family involved in gaming.
EXEC 2: Genius! Heeeeeeeey, why not call it "Family Training"? That way it sounds like it's fun for all the family, and the parents will buy it because it'll look like it help the kids get healthier.
EXEC 1: Oh we are gooooood! No wonder we're paid so much!
BOTH HIGH FIVE
EXEC 2: And we'll throw in a gimmick... like a "Family Trainer mat controller".
EXEC 1: Why don't we just use the Wii Balance Board?
EXEC 2: Because people can never have too much tat! In your face, Nintendo! This is sure to get us back on top!

EU Wii Ware Launch Titles Revealed

By seaempty. Tuesday, 13. May 2008, 15:41:55

, , , ...


Woah, woah, woah, woah! When Wii Ware launches in Europe on 20th May, we will be getting eight titles. That's two more than the US launch! What's up Ninty? Why is Europe getting some love lately?

I shouldn't get too carried away - US will probably get the extra titles added next week anyhoo.

Here is the line up:

  • Dr. Mario & Germ Buster from Nintendo
  • FINAL FANTASY CRYSTAL CHRONICLES: My Life as a King from Japanese developer SQUARE ENIX
  • Lost Winds from UK developer Frontier
  • Pirates: The Key of Dreams from Dutch developer Oxygen Interactive Ltd
  • Pop from Australian developer Nnooo
  • Star Soldier R from Japanese developer HUDSON SOFT
  • Toki Tori from Dutch developer Two Tribes B.V.
  • TV Show King from French developer Gameloft

So no Defend your Castle or V.I.P. Casino: Blackjack, but we do get Dr. Mario, Pirates: The Key of Dreams, and Star Soldier R. I'm excited... are you?

NA WiiWare Launch

By lutherjw. Tuesday, 13. May 2008, 03:42:09

, , , ...


Because today is the launch of WiiWare games in North America, no Virtual Console games were added. Nintendo did, however, provide us with six WiiWare titles. The leaked press release CaptainSeagull posted a few days ago proved to be right, with the following titles being released. I sure wish I had enough money to download everything I wanted ...

NEW+ FINAL FANTASY® CRYSTAL CHRONICLES®: My Life as a King™ (Square Enix, 1 player, Rated E for Everyone - Mild Fantasy Violence, Mild Suggestive Themes, 1,500 Wii Points)
FINAL FANTASY CRYSTAL CHRONICLES: My Life as a King takes a legendary franchise and launches it into the realm of simulation gaming. Players are challenged to rebuild a kingdom, leading its young king on a path of discovery through an adventure bristling with mystery and intrigue.

NEW+ LostWinds™ (Frontier Development, 1-2 players, Rated E for Everyone - Mild Fantasy Violence, 1,000 Wii Points)
A fresh, enchanting platform adventure that puts the power of the wind in the palm of your hand - from raging tornados to the gentlest breeze. You'll wield your Wii Remote™ controller to power Toku's jumps and glides, suspend and smash enemies, meet friends and solve puzzles using LostWinds' novel, intuitive and playful control system.

NEW+ Defend your Castle™ (XGen Studios, 1-4 players, Rated E for Everyone - Cartoon Violence, 500 Wii Points)
Defend your Castle takes place on a grassy plain surrounded by invaders. You are the commander of your castle, and it is your duty to fling the invading enemies sky-high, watching them plummet to their demise. As you progress, add powerful spells and upgrades to your arsenal for repelling the attacks. How long can you hold them off?
.
NEW+ Pop™ (Nnooo, 1-4 players, Rated E for Everyone, 700 Wii Points)
Pop bubbles to score points and stop the timer from running out. Pop can be enjoyed by anyone - casual gamers can simply play to pop bubbles and keep the game moving, whereas advanced players will need to pick their shots rapidly and accurately and generate combos to maximize their score.

NEW+ V.I.P. Casino: Blackjack™ (High Voltage Software®, Inc., 1-4 players, Rated T for Teen - Simulated Gambling, 700 Wii Points)
V.I.P. Casino: Blackjack re-creates the casino experience, with fully animated players and a realistic Las Vegas dealer. Single players can increase their bankrolls, while multiple players can engage in a head-to-head mini-blackjack tournament.

NEW+ TV Show King (Gameloft, 1-4 players, Rated E for Everyone, 1,000 Wii Points)
TV Show King transforms your living room into a real TV quiz show studio where you'll face the challenge of answering more than 3,000 questions across six different categories. Compete against family and friends and use your Wii Remote controller in original ways to make it to the finals to see who can win the greatest amount of cash in one final, deciding duel.

I Skate You So Much Right Now

By seaempty. Monday, 12. May 2008, 19:34:54

, , , ...


In some (semi) exciting news, EA are bringing a new installment of the Skate franchise to the Wii and DS.

Skate It uses the Wii's Remote and the DS's touch screen to help pull off some of "the sickest tricks" for "the ultimate skate line". There's not a lot of info on the DS controls, but the Wii version can be controlled by using the Wii Remote like a skateboard, reacting to gestures that mirror actual skate flips and moves. THAT'S NOT ALL! The game also has Balance Board compatibility, giving you another reason to get Wii Fit, if skating's your thing.

Skate It is set for a 2008 release, but there are no further details as yet.
