Secret project Flock! not a codename
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 3 Comments
“Flock! isn’t a codename… that’s the name of the game. Beyond that, you’re going to have to wait and see next week what it is.” – Christian Svensson, Capcom’s Sr. Director of Strategic Planning & Research
Flock! was just mentioned in Capcom’s official E3 lineup. Unfortunately, we still don’t know any main details about the game including the platform for release. We will, however, know much more next week.
More details on Castlevania Judgement
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 2 Comments
Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH is to bring its world-famous Castlevania series to Nintendo Wii in the form of Castlevania Judgment, an all-new action title featuring a wealth of characters from the series’ 22-year history.
Created by series creator Koji ‘IGA’ Igarashi, Castlevania Judgment is a roving fighting game utilising heroes and villains from the Castlevania universe. The fighting game has been designed specifically for the Wii, and uses the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers to offer a stunning level of control over the central heroes. Taking centre stage within a series of 3D locations inspired by previous Castlevania games, the controllers are used to slash, stab and employ a series of attacks against the assorted minions of Dracula.

WiiWare isn’t exactly know for downloadable content, however, Mega Man 9 looks to be changing that. We already know a good amount about the game (and we’ll probably know more after E3 blows by), though at this point, we know Mega Man 9 will have DLC. Famitsu revealed this information, but further details as to what exactly will be up for download and how often new content will be available were not provided.
Small update: The latest word (which is confirmed) on Mega Man 9 is that the title will cost 1000 Wii points. This is for Japan, but I would expect the price to be nearly if not exactly the same for America.

Winning Eleven 2009 confirmed for Wii?
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
The media received a press release about Winning Eleven 2009 not too long ago, but there was no mention of a Wii version. Fans of the series hoping for a Wii version could rest a little bit easier now, as Konami’s Japanese website has listed a Wii version of the game. An official confirmation from Konami would be the best way to know that Winning Eleven 2009 is coming to the Wii, but for now, this is an encouraging sign.
