It’s called “My World, My Way” for a reason

December 17, 2008
My World, My Way is far from your typical RPG. Sure, you’ll come across monsters to fight, characters to talk to and interact with, and spells and items to acquire and master, but what other RPG let’s you wrap the world around your finger? Princess Elise doesn’t want to put up with lengthy, boring quests, or get stuck in challenging fights. And she doesn’t have to, because she’s got the power of the pout, irresistible charm, and a borderline reckless disregard for anything that seeks to get in her way.

Why hear all this from me when she can tell you about it herself…

Changing the world… Literally

“People tell me the world is a ‘diverse’ place. I don’t know what that means, but apparently, it’s supposed to intimidate me. Well I won’t stand for that! If I don’t feel like boring old plains, I’ll turn them into a forest! And maybe I’ll make the trees dance, while I’m at it. Sometimes, monsters only appear in certain areas. No problem. I’ll just make the type of place I need!”

Gripping, Gyrating Ball Puzzler That Tests the Old Grey Matter played with either the WiiTM RemoteTM or Wii Balance BoardTM Available Soon

PARIS, FRANCE – December 18th, 2008 – DK Games an independent premier video game developer, announced today the upcoming release of Equilibrio a new mesmerizing and gripping, gyrating ball puzzle solving and manipulation game for those that like something a little different. Equilibrio will be released on WiiWare™, Nintendo´s new downloadable game service for the Wii console, first in Europe, then later in the Americas.

Set in a colorful world the challenge may look simple but Equilibrio tests not only your reflexes but the old gray matter and is in perfect synergy with Wii. The basic concept of getting your ball to the exit pod to finish the level is turned upside down, literally, as you use your Wii Remote™ or Wii Balance Board™ to rotate the play area varying degrees in either direction. Players carefully, skillfully move the spinning ball through corridors, along ledges to complete levels that are fraught with dangers. Move the ball too fast and it can shatter, leaving you to pick up the pieces and restart the level. Go too slow and the ‘equilibrio’ of the ball will not be powerful enough to spring to the desired spot!

Big Bang Mini

Nairobi release

Another explosive World to discover in Big Bang Mini!

NAIROBI: The hot African plains set the theme for the Nairobi World’s special weapon and enemies. While you receive the Fireball Shot that can be charged and released by holding the stylus down on the touch screen, the enemies also release dangerous beams of light when killed. Be careful not to stay too long in the beams, and to watch out for the fireball’s ricochet when progressing through the levels. Because of the yellow beams, killing too many enemies can leave you without a safe place to keep your ship – take your time. Blue enemies do not fire back after being killed. Use the Homing Missile frequently to avoid missed shots. Permanent Upgrade: Fireball Shot: By holding the stylus to the touch screen in one spot, you can power up the Fireball Shot. This shot fires three fireballs into the air, but the shots will ricochet around the screen and can come back to hit your ship.

A few days ago, it was reported that 17-year-old Daniel Petric shot his his father and ended up killing his mother because they would not allow him to play Halo 3. According to an Ohio newspaper, the Chronicle-Telegram, the boy’s lawyers are concentrating their defense case on his insanity, which they argued resulted from video games.

Petric’s lawyer argued today that the boy’s obsession with Halo 3 contributed to his insanity and thus should not be found guilty. It was further added that Petric did not have any prior intentions to kill his parents, and rather, the event was a “spur of the moment decision.” However, Assistant Lorain County Prosecutor Tony Cillo countered by stating that the boy was fully cognizant of his actions when he shot his parents.

Petric could receive a lifetime jail sentence if he is convicted of all charges. A decision will be announced on January 7th.

Update: Added different versions of the screenshots (see above), but I’m not entirely sure if they’re any better.

Make sure to pick up the latest Nintendo Power for more screenshots of the game! Also, I know that these shots are rather small and blurry, so I’ll do my best to clean them up later.
