Review: Marvel: Ultimate Alliance

I’m sure like most people when growing up you wanted to be a superhero, going around stopping the bad guys and getting the girl, Well “Marvel: Ultimate Alliance” is letting us all become that superhero but it takes this idea one step further by allowing you to create your own team. (Read on …)

Gate of Thunder and Super Air Zonk are first GF games on the VC

 

A week ago, I brought you news that Hudson were preparing to released a number on Turbo Grafx-CD games on to the Wii’s Virtual console.

Today, Hudson confirmed that the first games to an appearance will be the side-scrolling shooter, Gate of Thunder and Super Air Zonk.

These games will also be joined by the release of Samurai Ghost (an original TurboGrafx cartridge game) .

If these games are your thing then keep yours eye on the Wii Shopping Chanel throught October as all titles will be released and available for download.

Screenshot Frenzy - Link’s Crossbow Edition

The ‘Wii Zapper’… Doesnt matter which way you look at it or say it. Its strange! But even if I still cant get my head around the design and justification for the peripheral (outside of Nintendo’s love of extras for their consoles!) Here are some images for the Wii Zapper Pack-In game Link’s Crossbow Training

New Final Fantasy Tactics A2 Trailer

A new funky trailer has been released of Square Enix’s upcoming Final Fantasy Tactics title for the DS.  Ok, it’s in Japanese but hey, sit back and relax and enjoy!

Get Sin and Punishment now…

That’s right people, Nintendo has just released Sin and Punishment on the Virtual Console in Europe. And this my friend is an momentus occasion for sure as this game was only ever previously released on the N64 in Japan and was one of the last titles made for the 64 bit console. 

My advice to you is this - go fire up your Wii and download this now. Ok, it will set you back 1200 Wii points but it has to be worth it to play this rare game! This game is action through and through so you won’t be disappointed!  

And just as a gentle reminder, you only have 2 days left to grab Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels before its gone forever! Don’t delay, act now!

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

Now with the new Star Wars: The Force Unleashed game coming out soon (Well Next year around Spring!) I thought I would share with you all some video’s i’ve found on the game!

First up we have the E3 Demo that was shown this year.

And then we have a video of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Developer Video and Game play

I can’t wait for this and i’m so looking forward to this coming out on the Wii!

All your base are belong to Coke!

Is this the very first instance of an advergame? This specially commissioned game, of which only 125 copies were made, was released in 1983 and only given to Coca-Cola employees. The classic invaders were replaced with letters that spelled P E P S I and the command ship was transformed into a Pepsi logo.

Due to it’s rarity, this particular cartridge fetches good money on eBay with one selling recently for $1,825.

New York Fashion Week & The Wii Strap!

At the recent New York Fashion Week, Atlantic’s GameKeeper have reveled there new fashion accessory for your Wii and it’s a Wii Strap?

“The Wii Strap for the Wii controller fastens through the controller loop and onto your wrist with Velcro. But the thick band also looks as if it might double as a wristband. They’ll be available this November in sets of blue and black or pink and green for $9.99.”

So it means that you can sleep easy at night now knowing your save from throwing your Wii-mote through your TV!

Doom Soundtrack on Piano?

Ok going back to 1993 and a new computer game was released and its name was Doom!

This was a landmark title in the first-person shooter genre and is widely recognized for pioneering immersive 3D graphics, networked multiplayer gaming on the PC platform, and support for custom expansions (WADs).

Doom was downloaded by an estimated 10 million people within two years which if you ask me is a lot of people!

The Doom franchise was continued with Doom II: Hell on Earth (1994) and numerous expansion packs, including The Ultimate Doom (1995), Master Levels for Doom II (1995), and Final Doom (1996), and I wish I could forget the 2005 Doom motion picture.

So here comes the real reason for this post!

This is a guy that can play the piano very well and also can remember what the music of the first Doom game sounds like!

Tourney Mode

What is Tourney mode?

This is a mode that determines which player stands victorious on the summit after winning many battles against many foes!

I won’t go into much detail, so just try it out for yourself. Take advantage of its robust tourney-generating functions!

Of course, if you don’t have a large number of friends, you may not have much need for a tourney.

Still, we’re working seriously to make this mode fun for even those people.

Actually, you can also play this by yourself against computer opponents, so try it out if you’re so inclined.

BioShock on the Wii a possibility?

Accordingly to Mike Hickey (an analyst from Janco Partners), BioShock could be set to make an appearance on the PS3 and the Wii sometime in 2009. And his evidence….. Money!

Now I’m no analyst but if pushed I would have probably predicted a similar thing. BioShock an is immensely popular game, with the games developer, 2K Games, stating that they’ve already shipped over 1.5 million copies of the game since its release making it a sure fire hit. The company’s shares also rocketed by a massive 20% the week after the games launch. Basically this all means profit ($) and lots of it!

Of course, if the title is released on more consoles then the company sells to a wider audience and they make more money. So why not… surely its possible!
Personally I hope it does get released on other consoles but then can I wait till 2009 to play this (hmmm just another compelling reason to get a 360)

Hardwear: 4 Gamers Charging Stand

Recently, I was given a 4gamers Remote Charging Stand for my Wii and have been reasonably impressed with it so far, so I thought I’d share my views on this with the world.

We all know there are a lot of accessories out there for all consoles - both official and 3rd party - and it can sometimes be difficult to decide which one to go for. Unfortunately, I’m not in the position to rate this product against any others which are currently on the market (well apart from the original Wii stand perhaps) however sometimes hearing about some-one else’s experience can really help.

The Umbrella Chronicles final Box Art

Here is the final (US version) box art for Capcoms latest addition to the Resident Evil series – The Umbrella Chronicles on the Wii.

Not much more to say on this title (that we haven’t already reported). Look out for this game when it goes on general release in the states in November. It will be sat along side Wii’s new peripheral – the Wii Zapper……

Zombie action here I come…!

Show me the way to go home…

Orange juice and lemonade may be the way to go when racing the streets of Project Gotham, but nothing beats a whee snifter in between bouts of Wii Bowling so down a few shots of your favourite tipple in these game inspired drinking vessels (unfortunately the Invaders Whisky glasses are sold out).

Soul Calibur Legends

The latest title in my favourite beat-um up series is soon to make a new appearance on the Wii. Soul Calibur Legends, exclusively developed for the Wii, will not be a straightforward beat-um up though. Oh no, Namco Bandia (the games developer) had decided to design this title as an action adventure game.

Not much is known about the story of this game however I do know that it is to be based on Siegfried Schtauffen and Nightmare. Various screen shots and trailers have confirmed that the will be at least 5 ‘known’ playable characters and a variety of new players and non-playable characters. Oh and this game will feature competitive and cooperative multiplayer modes as well as the usual single player story mode.

I’m definitely interested to see how this game turns out. Part of me wishes that they kept to the classic fighting concept but then co-operative play sounds pretty interesting and I always like something different!

Soul Calibur Legends goes on general release in America in November and worldwide soon after! Take my advice; keep an eye out for this one!

Pokémon Trainer: Final Smash

It’s the Pokémon Trainer’s Final Smash: Triple Finish! It combines the powers of Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard!

…So, what is with that text window below?

Squirtle = Hydro Pump
Ivysaur = SolarBeam
Charizard = Fire Blast

These are the moves they use. Isn’t it a beautiful combination? A Fire-type attack, a Water-type attack, and a Grass-type attack? (Not really.)

If an opposing Pokémon gets the Smash Ball, at the very least take care to not be standing immediately beside it.

Mario & Sonic: At the Olympic Games

Wii Transfer gets updated

 

For those MAC users out there, Riverfold have released an updated version of Wii Transfer (2.5.1) which now allows you to stream video to your TV. The developers have also added drag-and-drop video streaming, background music for slideshows and the ability to use Firefox and Safari bookmarks via the Wii’s opera browser.
