Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 0 comments
The onset of August means summer is winding down, but the downloadable action at the Wii™ Shop Channel and Nintendo DSi Shop™ just keeps on heating up. Two new WiiWare™ offerings deliver futuristic robot foes and sultry poker opponents, respectively. On the Virtual Console™, there’s great news for football fans as the arcade classic TECMO BOWL™ makes its way to the Wii system. And on Nintendo DSiWare™, you’ll find a fresh addition to the eye-pleasing, mind-bending Art Style™ game series.

Familiar Final Fantasy monsters will appear in FFCC: The Crystal Bearers, some as bosses
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 1 Comment
This information comes from Nintendo Power…
“The variety of locations and the lively actions of the people and monsters that reside there should definitely add an element of surprise, and by playing in such an environment, I think that players will naturally become more cheerful. Some familiar Final Fantasy monsters will also be making appearances, at times as a boss-class enemy, so that’s definitely something fans can look forward to.” – Toshiyuki Itahana, character designer/director
We’ve already seen Cactuars and Chocobos (although they aren’t enemies), which are classic Final Fantasy characters. It should be interesting to see what other monsters make appearances in The Crystal Bearers.

Additional Resident Evil “Chronicles” games seems likely
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 10 Comments
Check out this brief exchange between Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles chief producer Masachika Kawata and the game’s other producer, Kentaro Noguchi. The two were discussing the possibility of developing more Resident Evil “Chronicles” games alongside the main RE titles in an interview with Capcom Europe.
KN: It would be up to Cavia, actually. Do you guys still want to create it?
MK: Yes, there are very attractive contents, therefore we would like to continue to work with that.
There isn’t an official confirmation here, but it does look like there is strong interest in continuing with more “Chronicles” games. Would you guys like to see more of those titles on Wii?
