Product Description

In MySims Agents players take on the role of a special agent on a mission to uncover and foil the sinister plans of Morcubus, the corrupt CEO of MorcuCorp. Players will search for clues and solve cases across the city and far beyond as they piece together his nefarious plans. Armed with a set of increasingly sophisticated gadgets, players will track footprints, pick locks, hack into computers and do molecular forensics. They will jump, climb, balance and build their way to follow cases no matter where they lead, even taking a private jet to reach an ancient temple, a spooky mansion and an icy mountaintop chalet. Along the way they meet MySims they can recruit to build up their own team of agents, and unlock rare items they can use to deck out their headquarters.

Key Features
• Explore the world – explore your city and beyond, from a ski chalet on the top of an icy mountain to an ancient temple in the depths of the jungle.
• Solve mysteries – Use your wits, skills and trusty collection of gadgets to solve puzzling mysteries. Follow leads wherever they take you, whether it requires jumping, climbing, balancing, picking locks, or hacking into computers. All your sleuthing abilities are brought into play, from interrogation to forensics, from following footprints to fixing machines.
• Build your own team of Agents – Recruit MySims you meet along the way to come back to your headquarters and join your team. Send them out on missions to gather information and unlock rewards for you.
• Construct and customize – Deck out your headquarters with treasures from your adventures, customize it to look the way you want and equip it to maximize the skills of your team.

Japanese magazine Nintendo Dream seems to be teasing some Fire Emblem news for its next issue. Though all of this is just a rumor at this point, the June edition of the magazine says that fans of Fire Emblem should “look forward to the next issue.”

“There has been no information about a new game for a while, but… (Fire) Emblem fans, look forward to the next issue.”

As you can see, Nintendo Dream does not explicitly note that a new game will be revealed, but really, what else can it be? Additionally (though this may or may not be related), there is a brief blurb that states, “And the blockbuster game is revealed…!?” that also appears in the magazine. Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon was the last title in the series to be released in Japan, and that was around eight months ago. The franchise’s 20th anniversary is quickly approaching, so perhaps Intelligent Systems is busy developing a new game in honor of that occasion.

The Gadget Show’s Number One Product From Toy Fair 2009 Goes On Sale Across The UK Today

Liverpool, 22 April 2009: Ground-breaking motion-sensing video game peripheral jOG, compatible with Nintendo Wii™, today goes on sale across the UK to widespread acclaim, having been recently voted the number one product of Toy Fair 2009 by The Gadget Show, rated ‘Essential Gadget’ by The Sun and featured on Jo Whiley’s gaming spot on BBC Radio 1.

jOG is a unique accessory that works with many existing Wii games – quite simply, to move in the game, you have to jog on the spot. Connected between the Nunchuk and Wiimote, then clipped to the belt of the player, jOG detects when the player takes a step and translates that to game character movement, creating a feedback loop that immerses players deeper into the game play while compelling them to take light exercise. It works with any game that uses the Nunchuk stick for character control, effectively the majority of adventure, shooter, RPG, kids and sports games. jOG requires no special versions of game software to operate: players just plug in and go. What’s more, for games which allow multiple players at the same time, you can connect as many jOGs as the game supports – enabling the whole family to join in the fun.
