Mini Ninjas features farting boss
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 1 Comment
Eidos announced their latest creation Mini Ninjas earlier today. What they didn’t tell you, however, is that the game will feature a farting boss. According to the ESRB, there is one particular boss fight that “attacks with flatulence, using fans to wave green gas clouds towards the player.” Check out the full ESRB description below:
“This is an action adventure game in which players control a small ninja as he explores forest environments, fetches items for others, and fights samurai enemies. The main character uses a sword to attack and defeat enemies, and there are occasional boss battles that use life meters to measure damage inflicted. One boss character attacks with flatulence, using fans to wave green gas clouds towards the player.”
MadWorld producer: MadWorld is not sinister, game is for adults only

“I feel it’s very important to reiterate at every opportunity that this game is not sinister. I also feel that it’s important that the media and the developers communicate this to adult gamers out there in the world; this is a game for adults. Above all, this is a game. What happens in it – happens in it is a game. It all takes place in a video game environment.” – MadWorld producer Atsushi Inaba
It seems as though a few misinformed people are unaware of MadWorld’s real tone. The game is not just a bunch of violent sequences strung together. Rather, the developers have stated numerous times before that they are aiming for the game to be over-the-top in a comical sense. There doesn’t seem as though there should be a problem granted parents are aware of the game’s rating (and if media don’t take the game too seriously).

“We currently don’t have anything planned [original Klonoa game], but I’m hoping we will be able to come up with a new Klonoa game.” – Klonoa director Hideo Yoshizawa
You may remember that Yoshizawa also told Nintendo Power that Klonoa 2 could end up on Wii. It looks as though a lot of Klonoa love is heading Nintendo’s way!

SEGA sees lack of hardcore games on Wii as an opportunity
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
Admittedly, there is a lack of hardcore games on the Wii. SEGA, however, will partially fix that with MadWorld, The Conduit, and House of the Dead: Overkill. In a recent interview, SEGA expressed sentiments that with the amount of family friendly titles on the Wii, there is an opportunity for hardcore gaming to expand on Nintendo’s system.
“There have been some good hardcore Wii titles. Resident Evil 4 has done reasonable numbers; Red Steel has also performed really well. But since then, many publishers have migrated towards the more mass-market family titles, so perhaps there hasn’t been the array or depth of hardcore titles on Wii.” – Sega Europe North MD Alan Pritchard
“More family friendly titles are being released on PlayStation and 360 as this is a growth area for these formats. Maybe with Wii there’s a reverse opportunity.” – UK sales director John Clark
