Quantum Peep

, , ,


You may have seen the new trailer for Quantum of Solace, the next Bond film, but today Activision released a few screenshots for the game.

Although it's unclear if it's coming out on the Wii (info is very scarce), I couldn't resist an opportunity to make a(nother) Bond related post.

Shplendid.

Fatal IV Frames

, , , ...


Sweet, we got some new news on Fatal Frame IV, as well as some new screen shots! Legend has it that these shots are in-game graphics... do you think so?

We already know the most important info on the game, but today we learn a bit more:
  • The story revolves around three main character's points of view.
  • You, along with two other characters were kidnapped, and rescued by a criminal.
  • Players can vary from chapter to chapter in order to manipulate the story and each other.
  • Explore wasted Japanese houses, run-down hospitals, and other haunted areas to solve the mystery, and seal away the spirit.
  • A "Projection Machine" (the YAEIKI) can be used, that holds spirits. (the spirits may also fight for you)
  • The story is unknown at first, waiting for the player to unwrap it's secrets using notes, memos, newspapers, etc.
Also we learn a bit about the controls:
  • Control Stick = Movement
  • Wii Remote = Movement of flashlight, projector, the YAEIKI, other manipulations of in game items so that you get to "experience the touch of terror"
And finally, the screenshots! Visit the FFIV Gallery for images, including the 7 new shots!

Wii Built DS City

, , , ...


Yes, I realise that I've used a similar title on a previous SimCity post, but I like it, so I'm using it again. Anyhoo, EA have announced a new SimCity game for the Wii and DS. It's called SimCity Creator, and the idea behind it seems to be focusing on the destruction of your city, as well as its creation. Being designed for the Wii and DS, the game is more "light-hearted", and accessible to all ages.
Disasters that players of SimCity always love remain an important and entertaining element in SimCity Creator. Using the Wii remote you can create earthquakes, tornados, call in destructive robots and monsters, create fires and discover many more ways to cause havoc. You created it, and now you can destroy it. With hours of fun and replayability, the fate of your city and its citizens are in your hands!

That's not even the best part! For the first time in the SimCity franchise, you will have the ability to build curved roads and differently shaped zones! OMG! I'm sold.

SimCity Creator will be available on the Wii and Nintendo DS on September 22, 2008 in North America and on September 19, 2008 in Europe and Asia-Pacific regions.

Pokemon Platinum

, , , ...


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...

I Skate You So Much Right Now

, , , ...


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.

Who'd A Trumped It

, , ,


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...

Sonic Unleashed Headed To Wii (+ Video Update)

, , , ...


There were screenshots and video of this game released last week, but it has now been confirmed that Sonic Unleashed will be appearing on the Wii. Although the screenshot above is undoubtedly not the Wii version, it is good to hear that Wii owners won't be missing out on some 3D-2D Sonic action.

The game is being powered by the awesomely named "Hedgehog Engine"
Sonic Unleashed is built on a powerful new “Hedgehog Engine”, which introduces seamless 3D to classic 2D camera transitions, whilst delivering a rich and expansive world with multiple paths to choose from. Under development for three years, the Hedgehog Engine produces a visually rich next generation look and feel with elements of classic Sonic gameplay mechanics. The Hedgehog engine will help re-define the gameplay experience for Sonic fans and newcomers to the franchise alike.

I'm going to be keeping an eye on this title. If it's anything like the Rush games on the DS, it'll be a great game! The game is set to be released later this year.

Oh, and there's rumours that Sonic changes into a Were-hedgehog in this one...

Undercover: Dual Motives Set For (Wider) EU Release

, , , ...

Although I think it may just be me, I am very excited about the news that Undercover: Dual Motives is about to be released in the UK. I posted about it on N+ waaaaaay back in October 2006, and even uploaded the below trailer onto YouTube (for another blog ¬_¬). Eidos have picked up the distribution, and released some screenshots today, which can be seen after the break. There were too many to post, so I chose a choice few that show off some of the touch screen usage. Spies... Point and Click gaming... Innovative uses of the touch screen... count me in!

I think the game has already hit some European shores, but it gets a major release toward the end of April/early May.

Super Screenshot Grab: Brawl

, , , ...

N+ member WiiDark has found a site that works with ALL operating systems (MAC, LINUX, WINDOWS, etc...) which will convert any of the screenshots you have taken in Super Smash Brothers Brawl and saved to an SD card, and convert them into JPG files for use in the computer world! It's a pretty sweet site!

Snapshot Decrypter will allow you to open the picture files from your SD card straight through the internet. It is recomended that right after you upload the files and convert them that you save the file yourself, because the server space is limited where it will be uploaded, and you shot will most likely be deleted. BUT HEY! why not put them in you own Opera gallery, then share with us your silly shots! N+ has started it's own Smash & Grab Gallery, and Fancy Falcon is NOT here to "kick it off"!

You can always never find this website permanently in our links section too!
I found my smash pictures ".bin" files under ...wii/app/RSBE/al.

Wacky Races Headed To Wii And DS

, , , ...

I loved Wacky Races, and to hear that it's being released as a game on the DS and Wii brought a smile to my face. Wacky Races: Crash & Dash is set to be released in June 2008, and will no doubt be rubbish, but it's a good effort, nonetheless. Check out the video! Wacky!

And look at the Wii screenshot! Races!

Not sure what's going on in the DS screenshot, but it's probably got something to do with the "Way Out Wacky Power" which you can use in the game to gain an advantage over your opponent to become the World's Wackist Racer. Crazy.

Victorious Boxers Challenge Screens

, ,



There's an upcoming Wii game called Victorious Boxers Challenge. It seems like an 'upgraded' version of the boxing found in Wii Sports, without Miis. There are three modes of play - Swing Mode, which seems like it will be the same controls as Wii Sports boxing. Pointer Mode, which seems as if you will point the remote at the screen and push buttons, and finally Classic Controller Mode. That seems pretty self-explanatory. In Story mode you work your way through the ranks to becoming the Champion, and in Sparring Mode you can fight amongst friends. There are even 25 different boxers and 10 different levels.

Hit the jump for a press release and screenshots.

Speed Racer Hurts My Eyes

, , , ...


For those of you who don't know, the Wachowski brothers have made a new Speed Racer film, due to be released this summer. It's got a unique style, and is heavy on CGI (here's a trailer if you want to have a looksy).

To coincide with the release, there will also be a game! Shocking, isn't it! We have a couple of screenshots after the break (there were plenty more, but they were all pretty similar). I like the look of the racers (see above), but to me it looks a terribly confusing game. But then I felt sick playing F-Zero GX, so what do I know! I think the game is also being released on the DS, but there's no screenshots for that version at the moment.
