Miyamoto says ‘wait’ for a new Kid Icarus

Tags: RMC by News [edit]

A portion of a Nintendo Power interview with Miyamoto…

NP: And, of course, I have to ask: have you given any thought to putting a new Kid Icarus game on Wii or DS?

Miyamoto: Wait, please. I’m really surprised how popular that is. But you are the first person to ask at this E3!

Well, telling us to wait is the easiest way to keep us quiet. That way, if/when a new Kid Icarus is announced, we can say that Miyamoto was right! Thanks to Joel for the heads up!

Man dances to Mii Channel music

Tags: [edit]

There’s something about the Mii Channel music that just makes you want to move. At the recent Boogiezone University workshop, this instructor, named Mike, decided to show his class exactly why Wii music is so great. The only downside about this is that we’ll never see actual Miis doing this dance on their own. That’s just depressing.

Three games to light up your 4th
» ‎ Nintendo Wii Fanboy

Tags: arkedo [edit]

The founding of a nation is pretty significant and well worth getting excited about. The best way to display said excitement is, of course, with massive, colorful airborne explosions, a.k.a. fireworks. Tomorrow night, towns across the USA will be putting on fireworks displays, big and small -- but why should you have to wait for it to get dark? The games you'll find after the break will let you get all explode-y from the comfort of your living room, without the charred mess and frantic 911 call. So, put on your favorite patriotic tune (it's "The Stars & Stripes Forever" for us) and make with the clicking! [Image]

Visceral explains the controls of Dead Space Extraction
» ‎ Nintendo Wii Fanboy

Tags: dead-space [edit]

"Working on the Nintendo Wii was a pretty exciting thing for us. We were excited about the unique controls and what they brought to the gamer," explains Steve Papoutsis in this new dev diary. Extraction, the Wii-exclusive prequel to Dead Space, as with many Wii games, takes advantage of multiple control modes, depending on whether you use the Wii Remote or Zapper. Either way, the game utilizes some clever Wii-specific tricks, like switching to alt-fire by simply turning the controller on its side.

The footage showcased in the latest dev diary highlights some of the best visuals we've seen on Wii so far. One of the co-op segments highlighted in the video combines puzzle-solving and monster-blasting in a rather smartly designed (and terrifying) way. Even worse, the two players will have to switch off during the puzzle as enemies continue to jump in. With so many clever ideas being thrown about, Extraction may have a shot at making us all scream in terror.

A portion of an NWR review…

Overlord: Dark Legend is damn fine game when all is said and done. It’s a focused, linear experience that never really slows down. There’s not a lot outside of the entertaining main quest, but the time you’ll spend completing it is riddled with fun and absurdity. Anyone who’s been waiting for great Wii exclusives - and always wanted their Pikmin to be more evil - should not pass on this great game.

Dubbed the Epitaph Punk-O-Rama Track Pack, the download features three tunes from three separate well-known Epitaph artists.

Is the game easy for anyone to pick up and play? And can the game be enjoyed by just about anyone? The answer to both is “yes.” Vertigo gives you your single modes, multiplayer modes such as bowling, football and deathmatch, and supports control via the Wii Balance Board – all for just $19.99. Vertigo is a good game at a great price – and, despite a few hiccups, is perfect for any budget-minded casual gamer.

Have you been wondering why on earth PopCap hasn’t brought their staple of games to the Wii? You would think that the Wii’s audience would make the Wii the most important platform to approach in PopCap’s mind. Well, it turns out that they do see the platform as important.

In an audio interview, Garth from PopCap Games confirms that there are PopCap games being made for Wii, but they take time because they’re tailor-made. We haven’t gotten specific details on what games are coming, but I’m sure there will be a Peggle in there somewhere. Thanks to Wiley for the heads up!

Developer - ‘un-thought of casual games will sell tens of millions’
» ‎ Go Nintendo Wii News

Tags: RMC by News [edit]

“I think that casual games remain an untapped genre; I’ve worked in more traditional genres for years and years before saying “right, let’s make games for other people”, and I don’t think we’re anywhere near discovering how many games can be made to satisfy that audience. Guitar Hero did well, Buzz did well, SingStar did well, Wii Fit did well; this isn’t the end of that. There are games, currently un-thought of in the casual genre, that will sell tens of millions. I’d rather have a business in that category rather than more established ones to be honest with you.” - David Amor, Relentless

Well, that means that the money is up for grabs by people like me and you! Let’s all have a brainstorm session and figure out how to make these millions!

Nintendo of Europe says Wii Sports Resort will be the biggest Wii launch of the year, big TV/print/theater campaign in the works
» ‎ Go Nintendo Wii News

Tags: RMC by News [edit]

“Wii Sports Resort is tthe biggest launch on Wii this year. We are hoping to break the records set by Mario Kart Wii and then Wii Fit, and achieve a No.1 in the All Formats and the Wii charts. We have a huge TV campaign running over three months, a print campaign that will include cover-wraps on The Daily Star, Metro and Shortlist, an online takeover on MSN and all the major gaming websites, as well as a cinema campaign alongside Harry Potter. Below the line, we have one of our biggest ever sampling campaigns planned in, based around a beach resort theme, as well as a massive PR push. I’d say it’s probably the biggest campaign I’ve ever been involved with.” - Nintendo’s senior product manager Robert Lowe

Mr. Lowe went on to discuss the actual commercial for Wii Sports Resort, which will be decidedly different from Nintendo’s past Wii advertising.

“Nintendo has decided to slightly move away from the ‘Wii family around the sofa’ style of advertising, and are now showing sporting professionals from around Europe trying out their expertise on Wii Sports Resort. The initial cuts of the Wii Sports Resort ad campaign really look fantastic, and we hope it will gain major cut-through to our broad Wii audience. We’ll be targeting a very broad audience when the game is released in July – as Wii Sports Resort really is for anyone.”

Konami confirms Contra ReBirth for August in Europe, Driift Mania coming soon
» ‎ Go Nintendo Wii News

Tags: RMC by News [edit]

Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH has announced its first downloadable WiiWare titles, as it outlines the role of its new Network Business Development Department.

Konami has created the all-new Network Business Development Department, which is designed to extend Konami’s online activities across Europe. The new team is headed by Florian Stronk, who will oversee all future downloadable content and mobile titles, including WiiWare, PSN, XBLA and DSiWare as well as iPhone and other mobile phone platform releases.

The first titles to emerge from the group will be released in the coming months, with Gradius Rebirth out today, followed by DRiiFT MANIA later this month, and the all-action Contra Rebirth in August. Each title is an all-new game, with Gradius Rebirth marking the welcome return of one of gaming’s most acclaimed shooters of all time.

Gradius Rebirth retains the 2D space-based action the series is famed for, with players guiding their Vic Viper ship through a series of horizontally-scrolling stages infested with thousands of aliens and huge end-of-level bosses. Power-up capsules allow the user to add lasers, secondary weapons systems, shields, etc, to their craft, while new additions include a Score Attack Mode wherein high-scores can be compared, and a Replay system where hard-fought battles can be reviewed.

DRiiFT MANIA will follow later in July, and is a top-down racer that allows up to eight players to race each other, using cartoon-style characters. Featuring twelve different tracks based on four themed environments – cityscape, hills, snow and a desert oasis – players can also select one of 34 vehicles from four categories. Each category is tailored for use within the different environments, with variations of speed, acceleration and handling and grip levels making specific vehicles ideal for particular locations.

DRiiFT MANIA ‘s multi-player modes allow users to play using combinations of Wii Remotes, Nunchucks and Classic Controllers, and seven game modes are on offer. These include single-player and multi-player championships, and Team Race; wherein participants are divided into two teams, with the winner those that amass the most points. The VIP mode elects one player per team as a VIP vehicle, who must be protected at all costs from the opposition cars, with the removal of the VIP car resulting in a win for the attacking team.

DRiiFT MANIA also has a fun ‘Contamination’ idea, where a player is marked contagious and must contaminate very other player within a set period, while ‘Cold Potato’ mode charges the user with collecting said vegetable and holding on to it for as long as possible! Finally, the ‘Meteorite’ option sees players embarking on a normal race, while trying to avoid a series of meteors as they fall from the sky.

Completing the trio in August is Contra Rebirth, a welcome return for Konami other celebrated shoot ‘em up series. Armed soldiers are charged with running and jumping through a series of 2D levels, each littered with alien forces, vehicles and face-offs with massive bosses. OTT weaponry is the order of the day as homing missiles, flame-throwers and high-powered lasers are used to blast a path to the end of each stage, while agility and dexterity are required to clamber over seemingly impassable areas, and scale crumbling buildings.

The Network Business Development Department will also be overseeing the release of Konami’s previously announced Vandal Hearts and Zombie Apocalypse titles for PSN and XBLA. “We have an enviable starting line-up, and are looking to continually offer a strong mix of updated classic Konami IPs and new ideas,” commented Florian Stronk, Head of the Network Business Development Department for Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH. “Using a mixture of both internal and external talent, we look forward to some very exciting announcements in the coming months.”

Produced by Codemasters and developed by Gusto Games, Ashes Cricket 2009 will be released this August for Wii. Ashes Cricket 2009 will also be published for the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system, Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft® and PC during the npower Ashes Series.

Japanese Wii owners are now getting the 4.1 firmware upgrade for their Wii. What’s the big change with this latest update?

It appears that Japanese users were having some issues with the Wii after playing Wii Sports Resort. If you were to play Wii Sports Resort, and then load a WiiWare or VC title after playing, all would be fine. Once you went back into Wii Sports Resort, you were forced to watch the Wii MotionPlus ‘how to’ video…every single time. This latest upgrade takes away that bug, and has hopefully stopped many people in Japan from going insane.
