Activision explains why Wii will miss out on some DLC
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
Due to technical or licensing restrictions, the DLC offerings will not be the same for every console platform. For example, certain artists prefer to keep the integrity of the track pack rather than releasing singles and the Wii’s infrastructure only allows us the ability to release single songs as DLC. We are very excited to be the first third-party publisher to bring a library of playable DLC songs to the Nintendo Wii platform. Vicarious Visions has pioneered with Nintendo a seamless way to download, store and access songs via SD Card. The development team is committed to offering Wii fans worldwide as much variety of DLC as possible on a regular basis. – Activision statement

The fate of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom won’t be known for a few months
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 2 Comments
“The issue is that there are multiple potential outcomes… it’s not as simple as ‘yes it’s coming’ or ‘no, it’s not’. And we have a few other issues to contend with that I’m not able to get into details on that are coloring what direction we are able take with the franchise in the West. Again, we’re deeply in ‘stay tuned’ territory but I don’t expect to have any solid news to share openly, one way or the other for a couple months.” – Christian Svensson, Corporate Officer/VP of Strategic Planning & Business Development
It seems as though there’s more to bringing the game over than just licensing issues. Hopefully we’ll hear more news in the coming months.
Tiki Towers for WiiWare detailed
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
Tiki Towers is a game of construction, destruction, problem solving, and monkeys! You must reclaim the islands of your tribe by defeating series of evil enemy chiefs. Work with your monkey friends to build towers out of native materials such as bamboo poles, coconuts, and vines. Match wits against the enemy chiefs bent on destroying your towers and driving you from the island, navigate levels filled with crazy building challenges, and deal with unfriendly wildlife and other environmental obstacles. Assign monkeys to chant for the BananaMana necessary to cast spells that counter the attacks of the enemy chiefs. Play in either single player or two-player cooperative mode.
Tiki Towers should be released on December 8 for 1000 Wii points.

Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
While most of us have had the opportunity to sit down and guide Toku through the world of Mistralis for many months now, Japan has yet to see the game become available. However, this will change soon, as Square Enix has announced that they plan to publish the game in Land of the Rising Sun. The game will cost 1,000 Wii points and will be available in December.
