Let’s Tap - import review…
» ‎ Go Nintendo Wii News

Tags: RMC by News [edit]

A portion of a DarkZero review…

…it is possible the game could become a cult hit down the line, much like what happen with the Ouendan series a few years back, as there is certainly enough interesting content on show to pique the interest of a few people in the west. At the very least, the game’s main theme is one of the most catchy heard in years, that has to be worth a few plaudits.

A portion of a CheatCC review…

If the game were cleaned up and offered as a WiiWare title for about $5-10, it would be a good value for fans of the Neopets “thing”m but at $40 it’s bound to leave most folks with buyer’s remorse.

Eduardo the Samurai Toaster - interview
» ‎ Go Nintendo Wii News

Tags: RMC by News [edit]

A portion of a WiiWare-World interview with Daniel Coleman of Semnat Studios…

WW: Can you tell us more about the 4 player co-op play? Is there any interaction between the good guys?

DC: Oh yes. Interacting with your teammates is a huge part of what sets Eduardo apart from other games in the genre. You can throw any enemy, teammate, or projectile in the game. You can throw enemy projectiles at your teammate if you want. You can throw each other off of rocket packs and scooters. There have been times during testing where we’ve spent several minutes in one single spot just messing with each other. If you’ve played the Four Swords games you’ll get a rough idea. We were inspired by the interaction in those two games. There are also little “meta games” that come from that. Like tossing a timed-explosion durian at each other in a game of hot potato. Not mini games, but unplanned interactions that happened during gameplay.

WW: When do you expect that Eduardo the Samurai Toaster will be unleashed on WiiWare and how much should it cost?

DC: We hope to be able to release it before April. As for cost, we don’t know yet. We’d like it to be as affordable as possible.

Fake news - Deacon bans Wii after finding out the true meaning of the console
» ‎ Go Nintendo Wii News

Tags: RMC by News [edit]

A spoof story from the Landover Baptist Church website…

Pastor Deacon Fred issued an official press release earlier this week forbidding the ownership of Wii game consoles by any member of the Landover Baptist Church or its affiliated ministries. “Ms. Huxton’s daughter, Holly, and her friends will be sent to North Dakota to our sequestered institution for Christian Homemakers and Dementia Ward this Spring,” said Pastor. “We thank God that He has revealed to us what this so-called, “Wii” video game system is really all about, but someone has to be punished for it,” he further stated. “Young ladies are not like men, the Bible teaches us through the story of ‘Eve,’ that their fickle minds are easily led astray by Satan’s trickery. Holly and her friends will be spared further temptation by spending the next three years in isolation. With no electricity, running water, or access to anything that fits between their legs, they will have plenty of time to think about what they did to soil their mother’s reputation and drag our congregation’s good name through the mud!

Commander update - Gaijin Games involved?

A new link has popped up on the official Commander site, and it links to a post at Gaijin Games website. You can view the post here, but I’ve also screen-capped it and posted below.

Well, it looks like we have some more insight into the project now. I’m also starting to think that this is big buzz for a WiiWare project. What are your thoughts?

Thanks to Greenyz for the heads up!

Nursing home residents robbed of their Wii

OTTAWA - Two women walked into the Putnam Acres Care Center on Sunday evening feigning interest in a job application. When they left, they took more than an application - they also took a popular game system from the main lounge. - LimaOhio.com

Seriously, what in the world is wrong with people. I am really sickened to see that people like this exist. I know that there are others out there that do things that are much, much worse…but that doesn’t make this act any less despicable.

Castlevania Judgement - review

A portion of a BuzzFocus review…

Castlevania Judgment is a game that is easily passed on. Konami would have done better to dedicate its time and resources into making a Castlevania Adventure title that would instill the same memorability that drew us to the franchise so long ago.

As these listings usually go, we don’t have any idea what ‘Time Crisis Strike’ really is. Could it be a new game in the series? What platform will it head to…or is it an arcade release? Will the Wii see yet another lightgun game?

And the Wii Sports sales backlash begins
» ‎ Go Nintendo Wii News

Tags: RMC by News [edit]

Let me once again say this. We don’t have the official numbers for Wii Sports total sales, but it does look like the Wii title has taken the thrown that’s been held by Super Mario Bros. for so long. For the sake of this post, let’s say that the news is official.

That’s the jumping point for CNET’s Don Reisinger, which seems to be very angry about this situation. He feels that Wii Sports taking the crown from Super Mario Bros. is just plain wrong. Obviously, he feels that Wii Sports isn’t worthy of holding such a prestigious place in game history. How do you feel about the situation?

Did you know that you can take photos in Animal Crossing City Folk, store them on an SD card, and share them with friends? We may not have much reason to do that here in North America, but Japan just got a little more motivation. FujiFilm and Nintendo have teamed up for a contest based on Animal Crossing City Folk pictures. Winners can come away with a camera, Wii-related goodies and more.

NT: We have loads of ideas for future games, and sometimes it’s hard to stay focused on Liight and not get sucked into some new idea. I think it’s pretty safe to say we’ll stay working on the Wii, but there’s nothing we can announce yet.

Eduardo the Samurai Toaster officially announced for WiiWare, due out this Winter
» ‎ Go Nintendo Wii News

Tags: RMC by News [edit]

Colorado, USA - January 5th, 2009 – Indie developer Semnat Studios is excited to finally announce the upcoming Wii™ release of Eduardo the Samurai Toaster, an incredibly fast and frenetic sidescrolling, run‘n’gun 2D shooter. The game will be released exclusively for WiiWare™ this winter, developed and published by Semnat Studios.

With visuals drawn and scanned in from several different art mediums such as pen & ink, acrylic paint and charcoal, Eduardo sports an untraditional aesthetic design for a videogame. Jump, shoot, whip, drive, fly and throw your way through hordes of Peking Opera pastries, spear toting carrots, robotic mangos, and more. Play with friends as you learn to cooperate effectively, or be annoying by throwing each other around the screen and attacking one another.

Paul ‘Gazza’ Gascoigne has even given up his cherished Nintendo Wii. He became addicted to the console while living alone in hotels last year, once playing its tenpin bowling game for six days solid. - The Sun

How in the world do you play Wii Sports Bowling for 6 days straight? I sure do love the game, but I thnk my mind would melt if I tried playing the game for that long.

Europe - Club Nintendo gets new rules

Tags: RMC by News [edit]

You know that you can register the games that you buy to earn Stars in our Stars Catalogue, but did you know that registration cards expire after a period of time?

A game can be registered up to three and a half years after it first hit retail shelves. Although this doesn’t affect most Wii and Nintendo DS games, the first registration cards from the Game Boy Advance and Nintendo GameCube Systems are about to expire.

If you try to register a GCN or GBA game after 22 March 2009, you will receive the message “Product code entered is invalid.” If you receive this message, please check to see what system your registration card is for. If the card is for a new game, for example a Wii or Nintendo DS game, contact your Consumer Service Center to find out if the game is still within its registration period.

Thanks to StarWolf for the heads up!

Top 5 game series that need to jump to Wii
» ‎ Go Nintendo Wii News

Tags: RMC by News [edit]

Do you ever think that we’ll see a Grand Theft Auto title hit the Wii? I didn’t think we’d see a brand-new entry on the DS, but I was clearly wrong about that one. Take-Two has been very open about the game, and they’ve said that this DS release is a testing ground for mature content on Nintendo platforms. Depending on how well Chinatown Wars is received on DS, we may actually get a Wii-specific GTA. Whether you like that or not, the release of such a game would be big, big news.
