Zoo Games is bringing back traditional family fun but with a new, spicy twist
24 October 2008 – We all remember the days when mums, dads, brothers and sisters spent real quality time together, having fun and playing games in the living room. In more recent years, this type of family interaction seemed to have become a thing of the past. Order Up! is the brand new, family game for the Nintendo Wii that not only teaches you a thing or two about running your own restaurant, but also gets parents and kids having fun together once more.
Order Up! is a delicious blend of precision restaurant cooking and culinary empire building, all rolled into one tasty treat. As a promising new chef on the island of Port Abello, you get to build your own restaurant empire from the ground up. Rising from humble beginnings as a cook in a fast food restaurant, you will have to come to grips with dozens of different ingredients, skills, cooking styles and different cuisines, from classic American Diner food, to Mexican and Italian dishes.

Miyamoto understands the importance of core games such as Zelda
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 1 Comment
Hardcore gamers, fear not. Even with mass-market titles like Wii Music, Shigeru Miyamoto has no plans of abandoning core titles such as Zelda. Miyamoto explained this week that ” What you can’t forget is that we need to continue to make Zelda games.” Miyamoto went on to say, “The way we operate is that we usually have people moving from one team to another, so giving people the opportunity to move around from a project like a Zelda game to something a little different like WiiMusic has really helped invigorate the staff and helped create a really great internal team. In fact, the lead art designer on WiiMusic is one of the lead art designers of Pikmin. The art design for WiiFit was one of the Zelda designers. But they’ve all gone back to their original teams.”

More sequels to The Clone Wars might happen
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 1 Comment
“I’m not in a position to be able to confirm or deny any kinds of sequels, but I will point that there will probably be at least five seasons of the Clone Wars. [You] do the math. I think we were all finding out what the Clone Wars was about when we made the game. It was a journey for all of us. Now that we’ve done that, we understand the show and know where it can go, it would be fantastic to do a second one now, knowing what we do. But that’s always going to be true of every game you make.” – project lead Feargus Carroll
