New VC Releases This Wiik

Monday, May 14th, 2007

Pac-man

Straight from Nintendo’s imaginary mouth, here are the new VC Titles for this week.

Pac-Man® (NES®, 1-2 players, 500 Wii Points): Move Pac-Man through the maze, avoiding ghosts and eating all the Pac-Dots. Beware, each of the ghosts behave differently. When Pac-Man chomps a Power Pellet, he becomes invincible and is able to eat the blue ghosts. The more ghosts Pac-Man eats in a row, the higher the score. Don’t forget to eat the bonus fruit too. Released in 1980, Pac-Man is the most well-known video game on Earth and is also commonly acknowledged as one of the most successful coin-operated games in history. Enjoy this masterpiece of gaming history today.

Ninja Gaiden? (NES®, 1 player, 500 Wii Points): Players take on the role of Ryu Hayabusa, a rising warrior in his family’s clan whose main role in the world is to protect the Dark Dragon Blade from falling into the hands of evil. Ryu travels to America to seek vengeance for his father’s death. Players fight their way through 14 challenging side-scrolling levels while defeating gangs of street thugs, battling evil ninjas and fighting barbarian bosses by using the deadly Dragon Sword, ninja skills and Ninpo (ninja magic). Players can run, crouch, jump and climb as they make their way through each stage and collect items to gain points, strength and weapons.

Ninja Spirit (TurboGrafx16, 1-2 players, 600 Wii Points): Ninja Spirit is a side-scrolling action game that amazed the gaming world with its precision graphics and quality game play. Play as the ninja Moonlight and engage in a fierce battle to avenge his father’s death and unlock the secrets of his birth. Select between the original ARCADE MODE and PC-ENGINE MODE, which includes a life gauge. Use four types of weapons: katana, shuriken, bombs and chain and sickles to battle your way through the enemies. Pick up power-up items and switch between weapons to give you the advantage. You’ll need to consider the enemy attacks and your weapon’s abilities in order to deftly make it through all seven stages. Use your skills and attacks to get through the game’s boundless enemies and traps. That’s what ninja action is all about.

Sumotori: Best Free PC Game Ever

Friday, May 11th, 2007

Sumotori

This very simple, free, 96k (very, very small) game is one of the funnest that I have ever played. The mechanics are simple, one button to move forward, one button to push with one hand, and one button to push with two hands. The point is to not be the first one knocked down, but that it easier said than done. Your character moves like someone on the verge of dying of alcohol poisoning, and there really isn’t a sure-fire way of staying vertical. The most fun of the game comes from either watching the characters stumble around trying to stay standing for long enough to bow to one another or playing the super-secret hidden mode (started by breaking the corner of the wall that is visible in the right-most gap between the bars on the title screen) in which you put the beatdown on a single character by throwing boxes at him (and sometimes pushing him off the edge to oblivion).

You can download the game (Windows only) here

Simpsons Wii

Simpsons

In celebration of the Simpsons’ 400th episode, EA has released some details regarding the upcoming Simpsons Wii game:

  • All of the regular voice actors will play the game voices, with around 8000 lines of dialogue
  • There will be 53 minutes of in-game cinematics that are drawn like the TV show
  • Will feature many cameos from characters from other EA games
  • “The Wii version will include a mini-game where Homer is in a eating contest and players must use the Wii remote as a spoon”
  • Game will be split into 16 distinct “episode” sections
  • The player will be able to switch back and forth between two members of the Simpsons family (of their choice, excluding Maggie)
  • Character-specific special powers including Bartman for Bart and Super-Nag for Marge
  • There will also be a collecting element to the game which involves finding and collecting Duff bottle-caps
  • Will be released when the upcoming Simpsons movie hits DVDs (not for a while)

This game doesn’t sound bad at all. Let’s hope the Wii version isn’t messed up like Spider-Man 3.
