“With regards to Worms: Battle Islands for Wii, a title we announced some time back, it became increasingly clear that by switching the game from WiiWare to a boxed retail Wii title, we would be able to make the game available to as many Worms fans on the platform as possible. We are pleased that through the THQ Partners program, we will have a strong retail presence for Worms: Battle Islands on Wii coming into the important holiday season.” – Team17 statement

For awhile, I wasn’t interested in the Worms series at all. That is, until I tried a demo of Worms: Open Warfare 2 from the Nintendo Channel. From that point on, I was pretty much hooked… So much so that I must have kept my DS on for a month so that I wouldn’t lose the demo! I’m expecting Battle Islands to be just as enjoyable, and I’ll be picking up a copy when it releases.

– This is before the GoldenEye satellite wreaks havoc
– Frigate level shows up in Dubai instead of Monaco
– New level set in Valentin Zukovsky’s nightclub

– He’s a hard-edged mobster
– Use the Subdue command to take out enemies quietly
– Bond can choke an enemy, damaging their back, smash an enemy’s head into a rock
– Can also take out enemies with firearms equipped with silencers
– Make sure no one sees you

This information comes from Epic Mickey producer Raul Ramirez…

“… of course that seems to be what everybody feels now that those controls (Kinect/Move) have come in. There are talks going on, but… I don’t know.”

When Epic Mickey was first announced, there seemed to be no doubts that the game would be a Wii-exclusive. Over there past few months, though, the door sounds like it’s been opened slightly. You have to wonder if, in a year from now, we’ll have heard an announcement that Epic Mickey is heading to the PlayStation 3/Xbox 360.
