RE4 Wii Commercials
Wednesday, May 9th, 2007Coloured Wiimotes to Europe
Wednesday, May 9th, 2007
Falafelkid has reported that Amazon Germany is going to have first party wiimotes in the colours of: “pearl pink”, “silver”, and “blue” as well as matching blue nunchucks on June 29th. This is certainly good news for North America, as we will almost positively be getting colourful wiimotes as well. This could also open the door for Wiis of different colours too. Nintendo’s always been a fan of pretty-coloured systems.
Namco Bandai <3's Wii
Wednesday, May 9th, 2007
In a recent Forbes report, Namco Bandai outlined the extent of their support for the big three video game systems on the market. Within the next fiscal year, Namco Bandai plans to release 23 PS3 games, 24 Xbox 360 games, and 37 Wii games. (Some of these will probably end up being VC titles) We now know who’s the winner in Namco Bandai’s mind. 😉
UPDATE: Soul Calibur Wii Confirmed
Wednesday, May 9th, 2007
The Soul Calibur adventure game that was previously reported has now been confirmed in the lastest issue of the Japanese magazine: Famitsu. The game will be called Soul Calibur Legends and not much else is known about that. The news we’re all waiting to hear is whether Link will be making a triumphant return in the game or not. I might not get it if Link’s not in it…
UPDATE: Check out new artwork for the game here
Command & Conquer 3 to Wii?
Wednesday, May 9th, 2007
Here’s a quote from EA Senior Producer Mike Glosecki:
“Although trickier, a Wii version with motion controls obviously brings up a lot more exciting possibilities for the RTS legend – and it looks like EA is pondering as well. There isn?t as much under the hood, so it (C&C3) obviously won?t look as good. But as far as control goes, I don?t see why it can?t be done.”
Sounds good to me! I’ve always wanted to use the wiimote controls for an RTS game, and C&C has always been my favourite.
“Project Witches” Coming to Wii
Tuesday, May 8th, 2007
A new game currently called Project Witches is coming to all next-gen systems, including the Wii! Will it look as good as the pictures here on the Wii — nope. Could it still become one of the best-looking games on the console to date, heck yes. Anyway, the main plot of the game that’s known so far is:
“Project WITCHES is a 3rd person tactical combat game designed to exploit the capabilities of new generation consoles. Players find themselves in terrifying dark medieval surroundings in an epic struggle for survival against the repellent deformed Hordes of the Beast, an evil creature that has established a reign of slavery and terror throughout the land. “
The game contains lots of ladies… some of the more naked persuasion. So, you can check out a video of some of the character models for the game (and a more cartoony game as well from the same developers) here.
Jack Thompson. Need I Say More?
Tuesday, May 8th, 2007
Guess what? Jack Thompson is mad about something. No! Really! While I know that this is unusual, the basic story goes that Jack Thompson is upset about the upcoming Wendy’s Wii toys. I’ll give you a minute to calm down. … Okay, so anyway, here’s the direct quote from an email that he sent to Wendy’s CEO Kerri Anderson:
“A dear friend of mine worked for Wendy?s and with Dave Thomas closely for years. From that I know that Dave Thomas never would have tolerated the use of Wendy?s good name to promote Nintendo?s Wii, not with this game available on the Wii platform.”
The game he’s refering to is Manhunt 2. A fairly decently graphic game that is being ported to the Wii pretty soon. I wonder why he didn’t complain about the Xbox 360 toys that came free in cereal a while back because GTA IV is coming to the 360…
