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.
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.
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!
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?
It should be a perfect match. Doctor Who is superb. Top Trumps are ace. It's just that a "virtual" game of Top Trumps: Doctor Who doesn't appeal. It's coming to the DS this Spring, and whilst they've tried their best to spice up the basic card game, I don't think Eidos will have a bestseller on their hands.
The game does boast a host of gameplay modes, and if you love the Good Doctor as much as my little brother, you'll probably be interested in getting this. Although the above screenshot is from the PS2/PC version, it gives you a taste of what the game will be like.
It features most of the characters from the new series, but if it hasn't got Sally Sparrow in it, I'm not buying...
Here are a couple of vids featuring the DS version of Line Rider in action. I have a feeling that this will be the type of game that could eat away your free time and keep you amused forever.
Double Dragon™ (NES®, 1 player, Rated E10+ for Everyone 10 and Up - Mild Violence, 500 Wii Points):
Double Dragon begins with Billy Lee's girlfriend, Marian, being kidnapped by a group called the Black Warriors. They demand to know the secrets of Billy's martial-arts style in exchange for his girlfriend. However, Billy won't stand for these underhanded tactics and decides to rescue her himself. Help him fight through city streets, buildings, jungles, temples and various other locations in a quest to find his girl. He'll gain experience by using different fighting techniques to obtain more hearts, which will unlock more powerful techniques to use against his enemies. Keep an eye out for crates, boulders, whips, bats, knives and even dynamite along the way, as Billy can also use them to annihilate opponents. Armed with his mysterious and powerful martial arts, help Billy pummel his way through an array of goons, gang members and other Black Warrior scum to free Marian from their clutches.
We already told you about the new FPS from Renegade Kid, and below is the first in-game footage. It's via the developer's video blog, and the quality is not great, but you can tell that the game is going to look pretty impressive. I'm going to be keeping a close eye on this game...
Nintendo have releaded the Q2 release schedule for Europe, and guess what's finally being released! Super Smash Bros. Brawl will be available on the 27th June. About time too! Maybe they will have sorted the online problems by then...
If that wasn't enough, the WiiWare Channel goes live on 20th May, and the Nintendo Channel will be available on 30th May.
Tis a good day for news today! For further details check out Nintendo EU.
Mario Kart Wii is the latest game in one of the most popular series of all time. Mario Kart DS raised the standard of the franchise, with the addition of online gaming and some fantastic new courses. The Wii version aims to build on this by using the console’s motion controls to bring you closer to the action. The game comes bundled with the Wii Wheel to turn the Wii Remote into a steering wheel. Is it just a gimmick, or does it continue the improvement of the series? N+ hit the track to find out.
Codemasters have added the above trailer to the N+ Video Vault. I have to say I think it looks like a pretty decent racer. Possibly one to watch if street racing's your thang.
Emergency Mayhem is a collection of mini-games with a difference. A city is in crisis, and it’s up to you to make it safer for its inhabitants. There are over 30 mini-games to play, that use the Wii’s controls in a variety of ways. In between each game is a manic race against time through the crowded streets of Crisis City. N+ couldn’t resist a game that involved high-speed chases and monkeys, and so we hit the sirens and put the pedal to the metal.
