Some of you may recall the game ReWind, an on-rails shooter thatTwo Tribes announced a few years ago for the Nintendo DS. Information has been laying on the company’s website for years, without a single update. Just recently, however, a new press release has been sent out which seems to reveal that ReWind is still alive and kickin’. The odd thing about the whole situation though is that the press release includes no new details about the game. Generally speaking, press releases are meant to discuss the features/gameplay elements of the title, yet Two Tribes has not done so with its latest press release.

The Mario franchise has arguably been the most influential series of games of all time. When creating a game, developers sometimes “study” the numerous titles that have been released, as the series has one of the most important qualities of video games – each of the games are fun. Mushroom Men will be releasing later this year in North America, although you may not have known that the mushrooms in Mushroom Men are indeed a nod to Mario. In an interview, Chad Barron explained, “Dan and Kris wanted to do a game set in an oversized world. So while they wanted to pay homage to Lorne Lanning and his Oddworld series, Dan brought up the idea of having mushrooms be the focal point as a homage to the Mario games.”

“I think the guys at Nintendo with Wii have done a truly amazing job and they’ve grown the market, which is fantastic news for everyone. It’s clear that if you innovate, you create new gaming experiences. I know from Iwata-san and Miyamoto-san, having worked with them, that innovation is what drives them and they’re hugely successful at it.For many people that’s the first step on the gaming ladder. People will want to gradate to a basic entry point into a console that will deliver a more rounded gaming experience. That’s the opportunity for Xbox.” – David Gosen, VP of strategic marketing, interactive entertainment division, Microsoft EMEA

Believe it or not, Mr. Gosen previously worked for Nintendo. I can see where he’s coming from in that for those who want to go for a more a more hardcore experience, those people will buy/spend more time with their Xbox 360. However, I’m not too sure that the average mother will begin to play Halo 3 after a few Wii Sports sessions. Also, I don’t necessarily think people will abandon the Wii, but rather, the Xbox 360 can supplement a different type of gaming experience.

Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH has announced the return of its popular Eledees characters, as the cute energy creatures head to DS in an all-new title Eledees: The Adventures of Kai and Zero heading to Europe this Winter.

Eledees was an original title designed for the Wii and starred the titular creatures who have the ability to supply electricity when gathered together. As such, players were charged with locating and collecting the tiny Eledees creatures needed to power their home, and this basic concept has been retained for Eledees: The Adventures of Kai and Zero, but within a touch-screen adventure created specifically for the Nintendo handheld.

Eledees: The Adventures of Kai and Zero acts as a direct sequel to the Wii game, and adds a mystical slant to the story. The two titular heroes find themselves transported into a mysterious realm by a magical bus created by Kai’s inventor Father. As they get used to their surroundings, the pair must use all their skills to gather the Eledees they will need to assist their progression, with Kai making good use of his special capture gun, which is used to grab the evasive Eledees, and lift, manipulate and move any objects in his path.

In addition to locating the various Eledees to power devices, players are also challenged with locating a new species of ‘Omega’ Eledees, who boast a wider range of abilities and act as side-kicks who accompany Kai through the vast stages. As the game progresses, ‘Omega’ Eledees capable of locating hidden areas, freezing water, and illuminating dark areas must be found and put to good use to progress to later stages.

The DS game also extends the multi-player elements of the Wii title, with the Nintendo DS Wi-Fi service allowing players to compete head-to-head, or in four-player battles to round up the errant power sources.

Eledees: The Adventures of Kai and Zero will be released for Nintendo DS this winter.
