Ultimate Band for Wii

Posted 16 years ago by in News, Wii | 1 Comment

LONDON, England – (February 28, 2008) – Disney Interactive Studios announced today, Ultimate Band, an all new music experience for fans of the Wii™ home video game system and Nintendo DS™. Gamers and music lovers of all ages will realize their dream of becoming a rock legend when they build their own band or jam alone, all fuelled only by the power of the Wii controllers and the DS stylus. Disney is working with some of the very biggest names in rock, alternative, popular, emo and indie rock music, allowing band mates to play sets from a broad selection of current hits and all-time rock favourites. Friends and families can rock out on guitar, bass, drums or as the front man.

“Ultimate Band invites kids, tweens and teens to join in the jam session,” said Craig Relyea, senior vice president, global marketing, Disney Interactive Studios. “And whether they choose guitar, drums, bass or front man, members don’t need to buy costly, single-function peripherals to play their way through Ultimate Band’s deep song list, dynamic venues, and customizable characters. The Wii Remote™ and DS stylus are the only tools they’ll need to reach rock stardom in Ultimate Band.”

Working with leading London-based music consultants, Radial Music, Disney has chosen to combine familiar classics with today’s hottest songs in creating Ultimate Band – a product with global appeal across all age groups. Instantly-recognisable songs from classic rock to current hit singles will bring players together for endless hours of entertainment.

Conspiracy Entertainment Holdings Inc. (”Conspiracy”) (OTCBB: CPYE), a developer, publisher and marketer of interactive entertainment software in North America and Western Europe, announced today that the multiplayer puzzler game Octomania for the Nintendo Wii(TM) will hit North American retail shelves in March 2008. Octomania is an original story of mischief and mayhem, replete with zany and loveable characters and a fast-paced color-matching puzzle that is suitable for all ages.

With U.S. publishing rights to Octomania, Conspiracy has selected Atlus U.S.A., Inc., a leading publisher of interactive entertainment, to exclusively distribute Octomania in North America. Sirus Ahmadi, president of Conspiracy Entertainment, said, “Octomania is one of our first titles planned for release in 2008 in what already looks like a busy quarter. With its ‘E’ for everyone rating, tons of content, multiplayer and Wi-Fi modes, and affordable price points, Octomania strengthens our position in the growing casual games niche market.”

Keith Tanaka, CFO of Conspiracy Games, said, “We are excited to work with Atlus U.S.A., Inc. once again to distribute Octomania. In the 4th Quarter of 2007, Atlus distributed Panzer Tactics DS for Conspiracy and we hope to continue to work with them moving forward. The buzz surrounding Octomania has been building over the past few months, and with Atlus U.S.A. as our distributor, we look forward to another successful commercial launch in March.”

Additionally, Mario Kart Wii would be coming out in North America after Europe, which was confirmed to be the case by Reggie Fils-Aime.

Resident Evil 0 is being remade for the Wii. Unlike most remakes/ports, this is one game that I definitely have confidence in. Unfortunately, the game is scheduled for Japan only at this time.

“Yes, this title exists… for Japan. There are no plans for a Western release for the title at this time. And now, I’ll bet we see all sorts of complaints about that fact, after pages of outrage on that the title even exists with people telling us to “go to Hell” or how we “suck”. We simply can not win”- Christian Svensson (Capcom)

– Releasing Summer 2008 (Japan)
