About Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon (Wii)
After being recruited by the Ghosts of Norway and inserted in Moscow with the Bravo Team, Ghost soldiers Hibbard and Booth must operate as a two-man team, relying on the intel of the local militia to fight their way to their target in a city infested with enemies. With the numbers clearly not in their favor, they will have to use their advanced weaponry and training to make sure that the odds are. Game features include:
• A true Ghost Recon experience: Progress through over 30 missions of high-intensity combat and tactical infiltration, from the villages of Norway to the streets of Moscow. Experience realistic locations and a credible modern scenario, and choose from a wide range of real-world weapons.
• Built from the ground co-op experience: Two players in third-person on one screen make the experience more natural, more intuitive and more social than ever. Co-Op Hot Join: Friends can hop in and out of co-op at-will, with the AI taking over as needed.
• Arcade Mode: Play in cooperative mode and compare your score online on the world leader boards.Source: Ubisoft PR

Nintendo: GoldenEye shows core games can sell on Wii
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 5 Comments
This information comes from Nintendo’s UK head of comms Rob Saunders…
“The sales of GoldenEye show that these titles can and do perform well on Wii. The idea that Wii owners are only after smaller mini-game compilations or first-party titles isn’t true. A good quality title, supported well by both publisher and retail, has just as much chance of performing well as any Nintendo title.”
We definitely know that GoldenEye 007 is selling well. Activision recently stated that the game was outselling Call of Duty: Modern Warfare – Reflex Edition.

GoldenEye 007
– A lot of people thought the Wii game would just be a cash-in
– Craig highly recommends it
Donkey Kong Country Returns
– Crazy stuff in worlds 6, 7, 8
– Will spend a lot of time if you want 100%
– A lot of 1-ups, but Craig says you’ll need them
– Can buy additional 1-ups
– Great music even though most probably won’t be as impressed as they were back with the SNES
– Craig doesn’t like the blow mechanic in the game, thinks it’s mostly unnecessary
– Only use it to uncover hidden items or blow out fire on an enemy
– DK can stomp the ground as well
– Can use the Wiimote without the nunchuck, Craig actually prefers it
– Craig was dying a lot more with the nunchuck
– Craig liked the mine cart levels
– Lots of old school references
– Mr. Game & Watch in the background of one of the levels
– Craig thinks the co-op is cool, but isn’t sure he’d like to use it in the later levels
– Use coins to buy extra lives, invincibility potion, or an extra heart
– If you jump on 3 enemies in a row, you get a coin, keep jumping on enemies to get additional coins
– Run button in the game when using the classic controller mode
