NAMCO BANDAI’s Open-Ended Vacation Adventure Game Now Available Exclusively on Wii™

SAN JOSE, Calif., (October 11, 2011) – Leading video game publisher and developer NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc., is proud to announce that the family-friendly adventure and exploration title, Go Vacation™ is now available in stores across North America exclusively for the Wii™ console. Set on the resort of Kawawii Island, Go Vacation brings over 50 fun activities for players to uncover in the game’s four unique resort locations. Go Vacation is available for the suggested retail price of $39.99 and is rated E10+ by the ESRB.

From snowcapped mountains to the bright lights of a bustling cityscape, Go Vacation gives gamers the option to take part in heated street races, relaxing fishing excursions and pulse-pounding skydiving sessions and more—all accessed by actually visiting each location in-game instead of simply choosing them from a menu. With support for a whole suite of Wii hardware accessories, including the Wii Balance Board™, the Wii Zapper™ and Wii MotionPlus™, every activity offers a fun and natural control scheme that allows gamers to easily jump in and play.


Other than the news that the Jett Rocket property is coming to the 3DS eShop, Shin’en had a couple of other nuggets to share.

First, Jett Rocket isn’t the only eShop game the studio is working on. A second, mysterious title is in development. The only bit of information we have is that the project will make use of Miis.

Shin’en also teased an upcoming demo for an already-released WiiWare title. Demos for Jett Rocket and Art of Balance have already been published, so that only leaves us with two possibilities: Fun! Fun! Minigolf or FAST – Racing League.

European and Australian gamers are one step closer to getting their hands on The Last Story. A rating for the title has been found on the OFLC.

It was already clear that Nintendo would be localizing the game for Europe, but we also have a confirmation that it’ll be available in Australia.

The localized version of The Last Story launches next year.
