WiiWare: Classic Ace Attorneys

, , ,

Why say it any different? The official Capcom statement:

The beloved Ace Attorney series featuring the most exciting courtroom dramas of the digital decade are headed to Nintendo's popular download service in 2010
SAN MATEO, Calif. — November 18, 2009 — Capcom® Entertainment, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today announced that three classic Ace Attorney® games are scheduled for digital release on Nintendo’s WiiWare next year beginning with the one that started it all, Phoenix Wright™: Ace Attorney® followed by Phoenix Wright™ Ace Attorney®: JUSTICE FOR ALL, and Phoenix Wright™ Ace Attorney®: TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS. Gamers can expect the deliberations to begin January 2010. These games will cost 1,000 Wii Points, $10.00 USD.

Ace Attorney’s massive popularity and appeal in Japan has caught on in the West and the franchise has now sold well over 3.7 million units worldwide. For the first time ever, this beloved handheld series is making an appearance on a home console, giving gamers access to three of the classic Ace Attorney adventures from the comfort of their own living rooms. Fans and newcomers alike will have a chance to star as the most popular defense attorney in videogames, Phoenix Wright – a man driven by principles and his ability to separate fact from dubious fiction. Each game in the series presents twisting storylines and intriguing gameplay with comical anime stylings. Players will collect evidence, weed through inconsistent testimonies and overcome corrupt agendas to ensure that justice prevails! Present evidence with the wave of the Wii remote or press suspicious testimonies by wiggling it. These games can be played via single-player and has multiple save slots.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (Episode 1 through 4) is the first release hitting in January. The story kicks off with Phoenix Wright defending his childhood friend Larry Butz from a murder charge. But this is only the beginning drama for the tenacious legal eagle as Wright faces unexpected tragedies that will test the limits of his incredible deductive prowess. In May, owners of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney will be able to download the bonus episode that appeared in the original Nintendo DS™ version of the game. It will cost 100 Wii Points.

In March, Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: JUSTICE FOR ALL arrives. Phoenix Wright has six months experience and five court victories under his belt. But none of that will do him any good against the ruthless new D.A. in town. Franziska von Karma wants revenge and she's ready to take Phoenix down at any cost!

In May, Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS arrives. Phoenix will face the toughest prosecutor yet as the mysterious hard-boiled “Godot” is gunning for him with extreme prejudice. Get ready for the most intense courtroom standoffs of Phoenix Wright’s career!

N+ Member Recomendation: Bomberman Blitz

, ,

Bomberman Blitz, from Hudson, is a new download for the DSiWare service. The Wii's Nintendo Channel has a very good preview video of the game, which got my attention because it looks like a full offering of Bomberman's classic gameplay style, but with 8-player multiplayer modes in local or Wi-Fi play. The game also includes maps that cover both screens, and training modes to help you hone your skills.

This member recomendation comes from Chas4, who wrote his own mini-hands-on! We whole-heartedly approve. If you have some extra DSi Points floating around and don't have a clue what to do with them, download this title. It's fun in one-player mode, but its AMAZING when you have some friends around!

Resident Evil: Tofu Returns

, , , ...

Hahaha, the legendary "Tofu Mode" will make a comeback in Resident Evil Darkside Chronicles! However, now you go through the level shooting at the tofu, and are not tofu yourself. Also, there are several unlockable costumes in Darkside Chronicles.

Costume Contest 09: Election

, , ,

OK, we've now received all the photos for the Costume CoN+est 2009. There were some gallery problems on the servers, so it took us an extra day to be able to view one entrant, but all is well and we are preparing to vote for the winner. This year, we are either going to ask .ed, our leader, or Espen, the MyOpera community manager, to do the honors. It seems like a great reason to have a poll, right? The tricky thing about that is then people can just ask a billion people to vote for them, and it gets kinda un-fair.

Have a look in the gallery to see the contestants in all their glory! And sit tight, we will announce the winners in due time.

N+ Design: November 2009

, , ,

Good news and bad news. The good news is that our header looks fantastic and should be getting everyone excited about New Super Mario Bros. Wii coming out! Yeah!

The bad news? Well, it's the first and hopefully only time that we didn't do the artwork ourselves. It's the official background image for the NSMB Wii website. Sorry guys, this last month all of the artists got a ton of work piled up on us, but you are OK with that, right? I mean, just look at how great our page looks now!

WiiSpray: We All Want It

,

Gosh darn it! Why is it that the tech-nerd-awesome-dudes can make the most kicky-sweet stuff on earth, and it's never sold in stores!? I want WiiSpray right now! Put this dang thing in a bundle like Wii Wheel + Mario Kart and BOOM - billion dollar seller. I mean just watch this dang video, and then check the official web page. Would you believe that this all runs on Flash and Wii-remote!? The "can" even knows how far away from the wall you are! Can you imagine Jet Set Radio with this thing!? AGH!

Rumor: Wii2 Specs Leaked

, , ,

First of all: Our Source.
Second: realize this is a RUMOR - meaning, "It is not official news". Now with all that out of the way, here is the specs of the in-question Wii2
  • Feature a Blu-Ray drive with a secondary aim of stopping piracy
  • Supports 1080p for Blu-ray movies and games
  • Trade Wii in, get discount on Wii2
  • Will be announced one month before the simultaneous scheduled Q3, 2010 world release
To the right you can see my concept art for the Wii2. You can also see my theories on how to improve upon the Wii
  • Moustache and Beard
  • Shoots laser beams out of the power button
  • Chainsaw (for fighting hoards of zombies)
  • Bobba Fett flamethrower arm
How would YOU improve the Wii?

DSi LL: Official And Huge

, ,

That's right, it's official, DSi LL is like the Escalade of the DS world. Blingtastic "Red Wine" paint job (or Dark Brown or Natural White in Japan), executive style stylus, and 4.2 inch displays. Mm, it's a shame my Zombie Survival DSi is still so ferociously awesome. Still though, having extra huge monster screens like that is something to drool over right? Looks like the Japanese release date is set for November 21st... this year. Europe and the US get it Q1 of 2010 with the name "DSi XL" and it will be more expensive than the current DSi.

I guess Sony is gonna have to make a PSP Go SE or something to follow-up right? DSi LL is targeted primarily to the gamers out there who are a little hard of seeing... like Brain Age players who have a physical age approaching the triple digits.

So, what are you thinking? Want one? Infuriated that this will be the tenth DS system you buy? Are you gonna be savvy and wait for DSi LL in black so you can ensure it's zombie survival skills? Or is it something that is just not floating your boat; I mean it IS more bulky and harder to carry around, though it is pretty much the same depth. And that pen really doesn't hide inside the thing anywhere does it? To be fair though it does have a second "regular" type stylus that does fit inside it.

Japanese Package includes: Easy Meikyo Kokugo Dictionary, Brain Age Express: Arts & Letters, and Brain Age Express: Math.
