Natsume announces Fishing: Angler’s Dream for North America
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
Reel Fishing: Angler’s Dream is a fishing game like no other! Immerse yourself in the sights, sounds, and even feel of fishing as you experience the most realistic fishing game ever!
Reel Fishing: Angler’s Dream offers beautiful, picturesque fishing locales, from calm, tranquil lakes to the beaches of tropical paradises. You’ll feel like you’re really in nature as you listen to the gentle lapping of waves, the call of distant birds, and the splash of hungry fish ready to be hooked. You’ll battle more than forty different types of fresh and saltwater fish in your quest to become a master angler. Each fish looks, moves, and fights just like the real thing; they’ll flee, dive, and jump out of the water in an effort to dislodge your hook or break your line. Using the Wii™ Remote and Nunchuk™, you’ll believe you’re really fishing as you cast, reel, and move your rod.
Rumor: Character model from Kid Icarus leaked
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii | 12 Comments
The latest rumor surrounding Kid Icarus is that the character model from the game has been leaked. Before anyone starts going crazy, let me point out that this is just a rumor. We don’t know if this is really a possible character model Factor 5 would have used/is using for Kid Icarus on the Wii, nor do we know that this is even real – Hence why I marked this as a rumor. With that said, I personally have mixed feelings about the character model. I’m not really loving it, but it’s not the worst thing I’ve seen either.
I’m about 90% sure these videos are Spyborgs pre-overhaul. When we see official videos from Capcom, chances are the next footage will be different than the early footage below.
Kate Winslet enjoys playing Wii Sports with her son
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 1 Comment
Kate Winslet is just one of the many celebrities who have shown interest in the Wii besides the likes of Queen Elizabeth II and Miley Cyrus. Winslet says she was playing Wii Sports Tennis with her son when her husband told her that she received a few Oscar nominations. She also loves to watch her son play Wii Sports Boxing.
“It was extraordinary (hearing news of Oscar nominations). I was playing Wii Tennis with my son…It is fantastic. I’ve gotta tell you, it is so fantastic. And the boxing. The boxing is the funniest thing of all because you’re boxing the air…I’m watching my little five year old go like this [Winslet makes boxing motions] over and over and over. It’s hysterical…”
Platinum Games cares about their Western fans
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 1 Comment
“Japanese game companies are notorious for not ‘getting it’. They are thought of as slow moving, orthodox, and out of touch. One of the places where Japanese companies seem to not ‘get it’ is community. Sure, you may have an American branch leading a great community effort, but it is very rare for a Japanese company to reach out in a meaningful way to its Western users. PlatinumGames.com is our attempt at getting it right. It isn’t simply a translation of our Japanese webpage.” – Note on PlatinumGames.com
You really have to love PlatinumGames. Not only are they completely devoted developers, but they really care about their fans, including Westerners.
