Sheffield UK , 22nd September 2008 – Lexicon Entertainment, a leading publisher and distributor of interactive entertainment and leisure software for video game console systems and personal computers world-wide, is pleased to announce, in collaboration with CyberPlanet Interactive, the publishing of Ocean Commander for Nintendo DS and Wii.

Game Story:

In the year 3011 the planet Earth evolved through disastrous changes. Mountains and sheets of ice in the Arctic melted due to global warming. Volcanoes under the sea emerged causing 90% of Earth’s continents to be entirely flooded.

What are left of the mass continents are scattered islands. Ten years after the Chaos Empire was born, marine technology progressed instantly to adapt to the changing environment, whilst the main objective is to rule the Earth.

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Today, two popular Nintendo characters launch their new video games on a rare dual-launch day. Conniving Wario™ appears in Wario Land™: Shake It! for the Wii™ console, while “super tuff pink puff” Kirby™ arrives in Kirby Super Star™ Ultra for Nintendo DS™. Both characters have millions of fans, and each game plays to the strengths of its lead character.

Wario Land Shake It! looks like a hand-drawn cartoon that players can control. It’s a classic-style side-scrolling game in which players navigate Wario through a series of enemies and hazards. The game features motion controls: Players shake the Wii Remote™ controller to help Wario shake down his enemies, free coins from treasure bags and even cause earthquakes. Wario’s narcissistic personality is on full display as he sets out to get his hands on the Bottomless Coin Sack.

What Wario is to greed, Kirby is to kindness. But the little pink powerhouse is not to be trifled with. Fans know that Kirby has the ability to inhale enemies and copy their abilities, a trait used to progress through the game and defeat anyone who gets in the way. Kirby Super Star Ultra for the Nintendo DS updates the beloved Super NES™ classic including new graphics, new adventures and new challenges. In local wireless mode, up to four Nintendo DS owners can compete, even if they only have one game card.

VGChartz is reporting that Star Wars: The Force Unleashed has sold over one million units in just five days. This is a bit surprising, considering that most publications have given the game a decent score at best. On the bright side, some media outlets have rated the Wii version of The Force Unleashed as the best version of the game. A majority of sales so far in the Americas have been coming from the 360 version, though.

This quote comes from the LostWinds developer’s video provided by Nintendo…

“At the end of LostWinds, it says ‘to be continued.’ In the future, we may be visiting the origins of Mistralis or off to find where Toku’s mother has gone because she’s off adventuring somewhere in the world.” – Steven Burgess, Lead Designer

David Braben, chairman of Frontier, also added that “Mistralis is such a big, rich world” and that it would be foolish for the company not to revisit it.

A sequel seems to be almost confirmed. Now it’s just a matter of when Frontier will announce something and what the next game will be focused on.

*Note: When Mr. Burgess spoke, one of his words wasn’t entirely clear. I believe he was speaking about Mistralis, but I’m not 100% sure.

“It’ll be interesting to see what happens with Mega Man 9. That right there could set our internal strategy. If the Mega Man 9 stuff is successful we might see more retro games like that. But if ultimately Rearmed is more successful, they could come back and say ‘people really want these high def, high quality remixes, they don’t want just the old stuff’. It’ll be interesting to see what happens.” – Ben Judd

Mega Man 9 releases on WiiWare tomorrow, so make sure you do your part and download the game! There are plenty of other games that should receive the classical treatment. If people download Mega Man 9, there’s a pretty good chance that Capcom won’t be the only company to provide the retro style to some newly developed titles.
