Penguins of Madagascar game officially announced
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii, Wii U | 2 Comments
We’ve seen listings on retailers over the past few weeks, but Little Orbit and Bandai Namco have made the Penguins of Madagascar game official. It’s due out for Wii U, Wii, and 3DS on November 28.
Below is an official overview:
The four web-footed operatives, Skipper, Kowalski, Rico and Private, uncover a nefarious plot by the evil octopus, Dave (Dr.Octavious Brine) to destroy the penguin world as we know it. Players will travel to top-secret locales and embark on covert missions to thwart Dave’s evil plans.
Players will be able to play as the four penguins and instantly swap between them depending on the situation encountered. For example, Rico, a demolitions expert, loves to blow things to smithereens while Skipper can dish out his stun slap to give enemy octopi high-powered smackdowns! Players can solve puzzles by choosing the penguin whose natural skills are best suited for the task.
Screenshots from the Penguins of Madagascar game can be found above.
Toads in mechs were scrapped from Mario Strikers Charged
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 4 Comments
New concept has appeared online showing scrapped concepts of Toads in mechs from Mario Strikers Charged.
Supposedly, Next Level Games planned on having them act as security, referees, and substitutes for ball boys around the perimeter of each pitch during gameplay. The idea was dropped due to perceived tech limitations with the Wii hardware.
Another interesting tidbit: Mario Strikers Charged was originally going to be called Super Mario Strikers 2. You can find the original logo – as well as concept art of the scrapped Toad mechs – in the gallery below.
