Thanks to joclo for the news tip.
Launching an original core IP on the Wii is a bit risky, but it looks like THQ’s investment in de Blob is paying off. According to NPD numbers, the game has sold 230,000 units from September 22 to December of last year. Keep in mind that this figure is only for America alone, as the NPD does not keep track of global figures. For further investigation of de Blob’s performance, you might be interested in knowing that Nintendo’s Wario Land: Shake It! only sold 150,000 units in the same time frame mentioned above.
THQ has responded to the sales of de Blob and the company has stated that they are “pleased with de Blob’s performance worldwide” and that gamers should “expect to see more of de Blob in the future.” We already know that a de Blob title is planned for the DS – Will THQ create another title for the Wii as well?
Although Rockstar has yet to elaborate on the Wi-Fi functions that will be present in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, the company has discussed one particular feature that can be expected. Players will be able to send friends waypoints through the Internet.
On the DS touchscreen, a mini-map is present and by tapping it, a draggable, zoomed-in road-map of Liberty City will be displayed. When you tap on a location, a waypoint will be brought up. The game will then draw the shortest legal path to the destination.
On the downside, this does confirm that Chinatown Wars will require friend codes in at least some modes. Rockstar has been confident in the game’s Wi-Fi aspects, so it may be worthwhile to have to use friend codes.
