Wii MotionPlus can be removed from the glove
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 3 Comments
There has been some confusion as to whether or not the Wii MotionPlus accessory can be removed from the notorious plastic condom which the peripheral will ship in. A recent Iwata Asks interview seemed to suggest that it would not be possible. However, that’s not actually the case. IGN got their hands on MotionPlus early and posted a video demonstrating that the add-on can in fact be taken out of the covering. It does take a little bit of work, but at least this proves once and for all that MotionPlus can be used without the glove.

Confirmed: Nintendo Power review score of The Conduit
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 23 Comments
Small update: Summary of the review below.
The first review of The Conduit is officially in. Numerous pictures of the upcoming issue of Nintendo Power prove that this score is the real deal.
Though the game received far from a perfect score, the magazine has given the game the ultimate accolade by stating that The Conduit is “the best pure first-person shooter on Wii.” However, there are a number of valid criticisms. Specifically, Nintendo Power cites unimpressive AI, a weak weapon selection, and a predictable story. On the other hand, NP discussed the control system and online support in a very positive manner.
Summary
– 8.0
– Great adventure, but doesn’t measure up to “big guns” of the genre.
– Predictable story.
– Unimpressive AI.
– Little innovation aside from the controls…
-…yet their quality, which owes a lot to their customizability, mostly overshadow these issues.
– Locales look great for the most part though the level of details can be inconsistent.
– Finely tuned level design based more around covering yourself and surviving than “run ‘n gun”.
– Lack of destructible environments is a disappointment.
– Great, satisfying to use weapons selection.
– ASE is cool, but under-utilized.
– Impressively smooth online experience.
– Cliffhanger ending hinting at a sequel

XSEED Games Announces JU-ON: The Grudge for Wii
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
New “Haunted House Simulator” To Offer Quick and Plentiful Scares
Torrance, Calif., (May 22, 2009) –XSEED Games today announced that JU-ON: The Grudge is in development for Wii and scheduled for release in North America in October, 2009. The title is inspired by the Japanese classic horror movie, “JU-ON”, on which the American release of the hit horror film “The Grudge” was based upon. JU-ON: The Grudge for Wii is a “Haunted House Simulator” where accessibility and instant scares are given priority over all other game aspects, with the original creator of the movie, Takashi Shimizu, serving as a creative consultant to game development.
It is said that when a person dies with a deep and burning grudge, a curse is born. When an average housewife in Nerima, Japan, was murdered in a grisly fashion, it gave rise to a curse so powerful that it threatens to kill at a pace thought unimaginable before.
