ATARI ANNOUNCES HEART-POUNTING PLATFORMER ‘THE CHASE: FELIX MEETS FELICITY’ FOR NINTENDO DS
Run, Dash and Rush Using the Stylus to Make Your Date in Atari’s Innovative Platformer
LYON, FRANCE – 10 November 2008 – Atari brings a fresh approach to platforming on Nintendo DS™ with The Chase: Felix Meets Felicity, the fast-paced game in which players navigate their way through bizarre obstructions, interruptions and mishaps, using the stylus to draw a path to the object of their affection. The Chase: Felix Meets Felicity is scheduled for release in February 2009 exclusively on Nintendo DS.
Join in the adrenaline rush by jumping in the shoes of Felix or Felicity to race across town in time to rendezvous. To make it unscathed, players need to deftly navigate a series of obstacle-laden environments without ever letting up the break-neck pace. Run, jump, dodge and slide through hectic scenarios while desperately trying to stay ahead of the clock and rainy weather. The pick-up-and-play gameplay makes ingenious use of the Nintendo DS stylus to draw platforms to climb and hop across, dodging difficult barriers and any cold-hearted misanthropes who get in the way.
I was also just informed that the game will support a class control setup with the d-pad. Also, the game should be releasing pretty soon.
Wii to DS connectivity has been a largely underwhelming aspect of Nintendo’s two systems, as it has yet to be truly utilized. However, Personal Trainer: Walking, a new title which was recently made available in Japan, will attempt to change that by allowing users to transfer Mii characters between their Wii and DS.
A little unknown (for the most part) gem is DS connectivity that the Mii Channel already supports. By hitting the A, B, 1, and then 2 buttons, the the Wii will look for a nearby DS to connect to. This feature actually has been available on the channel for quite some time, but for some reason or another, has been more or less ignored. By pressing the sequence of buttons, Personal Trainer: Walking will then allow you to transfer Miis from your Wii to a DS. Pretty neat, huh?

A Wii HD has been rumored for quite some time, but speculation recently increased when analyst Michael Pachter said that he is “absolutely convinced” that a Wii HD system was on the way and after John Davison seemed positive that it would launch in 2011. Shigeru Miyamoto was recently interviewed by 3sat, and of course, one of the topics which was discussed are the Wii HD rumors.
Miyamoto explained, “…I’m afraid we cannot confirm what we are doing today. But the fact of the matter is that technology is evolving all the time and in Japan, for example…All the analog broadcast will be stopped and shifted into the digital broadcasting. So many things are taking place and we are working in terms of the changes of the technologies all the time.”
