A quick note about FFCC: The Crystal Bearers
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 6 Comments
Reviews of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers have been fairly mixed up to this point, but that shouldn’t stop you from purchasing the game if you’re truly interested. The ship date is set for the 26th in North America, but if you want to get a copy early, head over to your local GameStop. One reader has informed us that he was able to buy the title even though it was stocked behind the counter. Right now, this seems to apply only to GameStop only. But yes – You can pick up the game a few days early if you want!
Thanks to Ryan B for the news tip!

Game Arts announces the release of The Magic Obelisk for WiiWare
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
The First Original Title in a Decade From a Legendary Japanese Developer
NEW YORK, NY – December 21, 2009 – GAME ARTS announced today that the heartwarming action-adventure game The Magic Obelisk will be available in North America on WiiWare™ on December 28, 2009. This is the first original title in a decade from the acclaimed Japanese developer. The Magic Obelisk is an unforgettably original gameplay experience featuring fascinating characters, an extraordinary tale, and the forge of a deep friendship.
Featuring over 30 stages, The Magic Obelisk revolves around a tree spirit named Lukus. Like other tree spirits of this world, Lukus is gifted with the ability to transform into trees and is eager to use his powers to help people around the world. He is looking for the perfect place to take root and become a tree, but unfortunately the only way he can move is by shadows, a journey he cannot complete himself. Players are tasked with helping Lukus reach his goal by taking charge of Popo, a light spirit who can shine his light near the mysterious Magic Obelisks to create shadows. When Popo shines his light near one of these obelisks, he can create shadows and connect two or more shadows to help Lukus move through the level.
Lack of local multiplayer in Excitebike: World Rally explained
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 1 Comment
This information comes from Monster Games president Richard Garcia and Nintendo’s Hiro Yamada…
“In Vs. Excitebike, you could play local two-player mode with horizontal split-screen. (You must know your games really well given that the game was launched only in Japan as a Famicom Disk System game!)
We wanted to add local multiplayer to this game as well. But as you can see by playing the game, the player can jump so high that they leave the screen for a while. If we split the screen horizontally, the player can jump off the screen for an even longer time whenever they do a big jump. We couldn’t split the screen vertically, since it is important in this game to see down the track to plan your moves. Instead of being fun, split-screen was just stressful. We finally decided that it would be best if multiplayer gaming was restricted to Wi-Fi mode.”
