Animal Crossing Wii Announced

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

Animal Crossing Town Folk was officially announced today by Nintendo at E3. It will be out by the end of the year. Some other details announced:

  • You can go to town now and do a variety of things. There is a beauty salon, where you can put a Mii mask on your Animal Crossing character.
  • The game comes with a microphone, called WiiSpeak. You can now talk to your friends online. Looks like the microphone sits on top of the T.V., it’s not a headset.
  • Can go to other players towns, see how they decorate their houses, towns.

Captain Rainbow

Friday, July 11th, 2008

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.

Wario Land: Shake It!

Friday, July 11th, 2008

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.
