Series Debuts on the Wii Console with Multiplayer Modes, Layered Hidden-Object Puzzles and a Spellbinding Storyline
REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– The rich mystery and puzzle-solving fun of Big Fish Games’ Mystery Case Files™ game series soon will be available on the Wii™ console for the first time. With the June 27 launch of the Mystery Case Files™: The Malgrave Incident™ game – available exclusively for Wii – players can enjoy a mysterious adventure in their own living rooms, as well as test their sleuthing skills together with up to three friends in new multiplayer modes. Solo or as a group, players of any experience level can solve their way through a series of fun hidden-object puzzles as they uncover the secret behind the peculiar purple substance scattered across the enigmatic Malgrave Island.
Mystery Case Files: The Malgrave Incident follows a wealthy recluse named Winston Malgrave who claims to have made an extraordinary discovery. His private island is home to a strange dust that may have the power to cure many of the world’s ailments. When he requests the aid of the master detective of the Mystery Case Files detective agency to help him save his beloved wife, Sarah, he opens the door into a world of shadowy intrigue and closely guarded family secrets. Is there more to this eccentric client’s case than meets the eye?
Thanks to Dan P for the tip!
Nothing like a little controversy to kick off the work-week! I have been so busy lately, it’s ridiculous, so I’m sorry that I don’t seem as focused as I normally do during videos.
Enjoy!

This information comes from Capcom’s Yoshinori Ono, who was asked if Street Fighter x Tekken will be brought to iPads, iPhones, or even the Wii U…
“Well, we’ve already gotten started with PlayStation Vita version, of course, but we’re anxious to take on all sorts of other platforms if the opportunity arises. It could be an iPhone thing, it could be an Android thing. It’s still too early to say, but we’ll take any chance we have to get this game in as many hands as possible. We know the hardcore users are the center of it all, but we think there’s a layer of psuedo-casual fighting game as well. We really want to push the idea that you can play anywhere with any kind of skill level, that it’s everyone’s game. One way to do that is to expand into platforms that cater a little more towards the average person.”
Street Fighter IV was originally released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Eventually, it ended up being a launch title for the 3DS. Might we see a similar situation with Street Fighter x Tekken and the Wii U?
This information comes from Strauss Zelnick is chief executive officer of Take-Two Interactive Software…
“We’ll see. We are looking at it seriously and at the relationship with Nintendo. We have supported the Wii and it has worked for us. We have done Carnival Games for the Wii. They support the platform and they were pretty excited about what they have seen. It will not be driven by me pounding the table saying do it, it will be driven by economic opportunity and creative opportunity.”
Oh God, he mentioned Carnival Games. I don’t think that’s the type of support most of us want to see. How about Grand Theft Auto instead…?
If you want a free Zelda, soundtrack, you’re going to have to register a copy of Ocarina of Time 3D by 12:01 AM PDT. Be sure to register the code that comes with the game on your account. I believe the reward should appear automatically, without any sort of popup or further action on your part.
