Awesome Radical Gaming

Overall I was extremely disappointed…there really wasn’t anything announced for the Wii and DS that I need to get. Animal Crossing is cool and everything, but it’s not on the same level as a new Mario/Metroid/Zelda/etc. game.

3rd Party Games Wii

- Star Wars The Clone Wars - Use Wiimote like a light saber. Coming sometime in 2008.

- Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party - used balance board as a flying ironing board.

- Call of Duty World at War - use Wiimote like a gun or flamethrower. Lots of things blowing up. “Coming Soon”.

3rd Party Games DS

- Guitar Hero on Tour Decades - On the way this Fall. Share songs between games.

- Spore Creatures - Different then the Spore. Just basically looks like the creature creator, can share creatures with others.

- Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars - Coming to DS this winter. Custom game engine, same GTA gameplay.

First party DS

- Pokemon Rangers Shadows of Almia (sp?) - No real details.

First party Wii

- WiiSports Resort - Uses Wii MotionPlus. Packaged with WiiSports Resort, along with extended sleeve. Knows where your arm is in space. Showed throwing a Frisbee, riding a jet ski and sword fighting. Sword fighting looked pretty cool.

- WiiMusic - Some guy playing drums and sweating a lot. Miyamoto playing a WiiMote like a saxophone. Playing at the same time. You don’t play notes, you don’t have to know how to play a real instrument. All you do is hold the WiiMote and move like your actually playing the instrument and the game does the rest. Playing a song from an F-Zero game. Played a variety of instruments. Drums, use Wii Balance Board. Can record a music video. 4 people playing the Mario song together, look stupid.

- Animal Crossing Town Folk - See here

Technology updates

- For the DS, they talked about using it to find your gate at an airport, didn’t say how exactly. DS can earn a spot in your kitchen, in November there is a game coming out that’s basically a cookbook. Didn’t catch the name.

- For the Wii, Wii MotionPlus. Renders movement better.

- WiiSpeak - Microphone for the Wii. See here

It looks weird, so I’m interested and it’s being developed by Skip Ltd., who made Giftpia, this weird Gamecube game that I imported and tried to play even though I know absolutely no Japanese whatsoever. It would have been cool, though, the premise of the game was you overslept for your coming of age ceremony so the mayor makes you pay 5 million bell because he’s so pissed. You should read about it, the game was really weird. Anyway, in Captain Rainbow you play as Nick, who can turn into Captain Rainbow. Captain Rainbow wields a yo-yo.

I’m seriously all for 2D gaming making a comeback. These animations seem awesome, I just feel like when it comes to 2D there is a higher level of detail involved in the games. I’ll definitely be picking this one up, I never actually played any of the Wario games (except for one on the Gameboy a long time ago, and I can hardly remember it), so it will be a brand new experience for me.
