It has been stated a few times over that Thursday night’s episode of GameTrailers TV bring Nintendo fans a new Punch-Out!! trailer. On top of that, however, there are apparently a few more surprises in store. President and COO of Nintendo of America Reggie Fils-Aime “brought some presents” and “love” for the upcoming show which includes a world exclusive. The announcement is probably Punch-Out!! related, but even if you’re not a fan of the game, there will be Wii MotionPlus and E3 talk, according to Geoff Keighley’s twitter.

As you can see above, Nintendo Power is teasing “one of the year’s biggest action games for Wii.” Based on the sword alone, a good guess would be Red Steel 2. But NGamer was also apparently going to have the scoop but that never fell through.

Tools of the trade

Since Ghostbusters Wii follows the storyline written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis, a specific stockpile of gadgets and devices are required to match the dialog and story elements. The default Ghostbusters gear (proton pack, trap and PKE meter) were a no-brainer, but some of the newer, cool gadgets developed by Terminal Reality and Dan Aykroyd for the Xbox360/PS3 version weren’t specifically tailored for the Wii. Therefore, we decided to focus on the Wii’s one-of-a-kind controller that offers more natural-feeling control options not only through a few simple, well-placed motion-based gestures but also by aiming directly into the game with an on-screen targeting reticule.

Standard equipment
Of course we couldn’t make a Ghostbusters game without the most basic tools in the paranormal investigators toolset. Anyone who has seen the movies will recognize the proton beam, the default tool for any Ghostbuster. Its signature orange and blue lightning spills uncontainable from the tip of the Neutrona Wand and destroys just about everything it hits. Against ghosts, it weakens their spectral energy. Once the ghost’s energy is exhausted, the beam wraps around it like a lasso, giving the player a chance to wrangle the ghost into a trap.
