Small update: N-Europe has translated some details coming from the German Disaster: Day of Crisis German page.

Some rumored information about Disaster: Day of Crisis has come to light based off of the latest screenshots of the game. None of these details are confirmed by Nintendo, though the information below is still somewhat realistic.

– You can set where the radio messages and the gun sound fx comes out from. The screen shows the Radio messages output set to the Wiimote, and the Gun sound fx output set to the Wiimote as well.

– There are items in the game, and you have an inventory. They look like the normal restorative items for health and whatnot.

– The game is stage based and you get a ranking for how well you did at the end of each stage.

– You earn BP from combat and SP from rescuing people (and probably completing various QTE events successfully). BP is used to buy new weapons and upgrade the weapons, while SP is used to improve the character stats.

– You start with 3 basic weapons available – Rifle 1, Handgun 1 and Assault Rifle 1. Each of these are the start of a weapons tree, kinda like a skill tree in RPGs (lol Monolithsoft). You buy more weapons with BP via this tree.

– For weapons you already have, there are 5 areas you can upgrade them in – Power, ammo capacity, reload speed, etc. Upgrading will also cost BP.

“I have not left the gaming industry for good. I love it.” – Perrin Kaplan, former Vice President, Marketing & Corporate Affairs for NOA

Everyone remembers Perrin Kaplan, right? You know, back when Nintendo’s E3 conferences weren’t completely terrible? I’m just kidding, Nintendo! But in all seriousness, Kaplan was great at what she did and I’m personally glad to hear that she may be interested in coming back soon.

Take a look at this excerpt from GameSpot’s most recent preview of The Conduit…

“High Voltage does plan to support Wii Motion Plus add-on so we will have to see later how that will work.”

This comes from the build at PAX 2008. I don’t know if GameSpot has their information mixed up, but I would be a bit surprised if the developers wished to incorporate that technology at this point. As far as I know, most developers just recently got their hands on MotionPlus. However, The Conduit does have about six or so months before it launches if the game releases in March 2009.
