PAX 10 Winner The Amazing Brain Train coming to WiiWareOREM, Utah – Aug. 18, 2009 – Indie video game developer NinjaBee is proud to announce it has partnered with fellow indie developer Grubby Games to bring the 2008 PAX 10 Award-winning game – The Amazing Brain Train – to Nintendo WiiWare™, the Wii™ system’s downloadable service, this fall.
“The Amazing Brain Train is a great example of some things that make indie games great – it’s highly creative, visually distinctive, and fundamentally fun to play,” said NinjaBee President and co-founder Steve Taylor.
Ladies and gentlemen, it is my pleasure to announce that we will be taking our beloved furballs to DSiWare. Furry Legends is no longer exclusive to WiiWare, the sneaky Furballs are expanding to DSiWare, and who knows if they will settle with just that!
In Furry Legends: Beginnings, which is a prequel to Furry Legends, players will be able to experience the world prior to squarie invasion. The game will feature beautiful, 100% hand drawn graphics, physics, puzzle, action and more!
You can expect new enemies, at least three different environments, new puzzles and a fresh dose of cheesy humor in this upcoming release. Remember to watch this space and sign up with our twitter feed to stay up to date with latest developments!

“It’s a very astute observation, but it doesn’t take in history [Nintendo popularizing video gaming]. The most successful console is still the PS2 and it’s still going strong. I think that’s the console that really broke the barrier from video games being just for video gamers into more of a mass market on a global basis. Nintendo’s obviously done a great job in following that mass acceptance.” – Sony Computer Entertainment boss Kazuo “Kaz” Hirai
While I do believe that the PlayStation 2 helped to make a dent in the casual gaming market, I feel as though Nintendo has fully broke the barrier. For me, I feel that Nintendo has made a more conscious effort to bring more people into the gaming world and there seems to have been more buzz about the Wii amongst the casual crowd.
Today Capcom announced that Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles would be available exclusively for Nintendo Wii, November 17, 2009 for $49.99 in North America. Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles features an intense horror experience with arcade style zombie shooting gameplay that one or two players can enjoy simultaneously.
A few weeks ago, we gave you a heads up on the limited edition “Let Your Darkside Out” T-shirt, which transforms you into a zombie when lifted over your head, available at Comic-Con. For anyone who wasn’t at Comic-Con that wants to get the shirt – which doubles as a Halloween costume – there are a few ways you can get one.
Capcom has already provided a list of characters that were nixed from Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. However, there are two additional well-known names that never made it into the final game: Phoenix Wright and Franziska von Karma. Tatsunoko vs. Capcom producer Ryota Niitsuma was asked why the Phoenix Wright series is underrepresented in the title in the latest issue of NGamer and revealed that there were intentions to include Phoenix Wright and Franziska von Karma. However, the development team ran into a few limitations regarding Wright’s fighting moves.
