“The graphical theme is totally different in each stage and you will need to change your combat style to take out your enemies. We very much doubt that gamers will think that it’s repetitive. Also, the story is very interesting. We are quite confident that gamers won’t get bored as there’s lots of variety in the gameplay and a really strong storyline.” – Atsushi Inaba, MadWorld producer
New info on Mario Tennis re-release
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
New details regarding the re-release of Mario Tennis for the GameCube have been discovered. The Wiimote can be used to carry out forehand and backhand shots, in addition to topspin and slice spin. As in the GameCube edition, special character moves can be performed with a button press. Unlike the GameCube release, however, there is no GameCube controller support, although that isn’t entirely surprising considering that Nintendo is aiming to utilize the Wii controller with the re-release.
Reggie: Only a few third-parties have created quality projects for Wii
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 2 Comments
It’s no surprise that some companies have a particular mindset to be lazy or use their “B teams” to create certain Wii projects. The end result of doing so simply means that a poor product will enter the marketplace, in which, depending on the accessibility of the title, could end up as a relatively successful game. Reggie Fils-Aime is well-aware of the quality of some third-party projects and third-parties in general on the Wii though.
Reggie noted, “I will be able to say our licensees ‘get it’ when their very best content is on our platform. And with very few exceptions today, that’s not the case.”
Reggie also commented on the supply of Wii Fit during the holidays today and explained, “With Wii hardware, I think we’ve got a good shot at meeting demand during the holidays. With ‘Wii Fit,’ I know we’ll fall short. That’s a product we have consumers lining up for each morning outside of our Nintendo World store.”

Steel Penny Games to Launch First Game “Bruiser & Scratch” for WiiWare in December 2008

Austin, Texas – November 17, 2008 – Steel Penny Games, a videogame development company specializing in mass market and kid friendly games with an unwavering commitment to fun, announced today that it will be launching their first game, Bruiser and Scratch, exclusively for WiiWare in December 2008. Bruiser and Scratch is a unique take on a matching puzzle game where the player controls one of the heroes in each level and progressively unravels the puzzle by pushing life-sized pieces around. As the player matches pieces, they combine and transform into other shapes until at the end, they are combined into a single winning piece.
“Bruiser and Scratch is an exciting puzzle game for the whole family. As puzzle games go, this one is pretty challenging, rewarding and humorous,” said Jason Hughes, president and founder of Steel Penny Games. “It was our goal to develop a game full of character and fun that the entire family looks forward to enjoying together, a little bit at a time. Naturally, Wii is the ideal platform for this,” says Hughes.
New Wii update released, Nintendo looking to eliminate homebrew
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 1 Comment
Nintendo has officially released a new system update for the Wii, version 3.4. With this update, Nintendo is once again looking to disable homebrew projects and has added in a few new “features.”
Nintendo’s description of the update is as follows:
# An enhancement was made to the Wii console’s Parental Controls.
# A compatible USB keyboard can be used with the Mii Channel.
# The Wii User Agreement, which includes the Wii Privacy Policy, has been updated. Because the updated agreement applies to you and your use of the Wii Network Service, you should view the updated version by clicking on the Wii icon located on the lower-left portion of the Wii Channel menu, selecting Wii Settings, accessing the Internet setting, and selecting User Agreements.
Nintendo obviously mentions nothing about homebrew applications directly, but there have been reports that the company is doing its best to eliminate such additions to the Wii system.
