2007 Most Wanted Wii Games from 1up

Cooking Mama: Cook Off

Mash! Slice! Stir! Shake! Roll! Perform other kitchen activities! This sequel to the DS game may sound silly, but its innovative use of the Wiimote is pretty much exactly what the system was designed for.

Dragon Quest Swords

Aside from one of the longest game names ever? Think Time Crisis, but instead of shooting and ducking you're swinging a sword and blocking with a shield. You have control over forward and backward movement, but that's about it.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers

It's, er, a Final Fantasy game. On Wii.

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

The final game in the Metroid Prime trilogy. In Corruption, Samus gets infected by Phazon, which slowly gives her abilities not previously seen in the series.

No More Heroes

Another whacked-out game from whacked-out designer Suda 51, of Killer 7 fame. No More Heroes stars Travis Touchdown, an American geek who buys a beam katana (read: light saber) off eBay and decides to become a hit man. We couldn't make this up, people.

Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles

A chance to re-re-revisit the mansion from the first Resident Evil, this time with a first-person view.

SSX Blur

The latest in the wildly successful and critically acclaimed SSX series.

Super Mario Galaxy

It's the next real Mario game, fer chrissakes. This time our favorite water utility expert jumps from planet to planet in his quest to save Peach. What, you were expecting a new plot?

Super Paper Mario

The first Wii entry in the ultracartoony, RPG-lite side-scroller. This one appears to tone down the RPG elements a bit, and ratchet up the platforming with some cues taken from New Super Mario Bros.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

A pantload of classic Nintendo characters-plus Solid Snake-pummeling each other in huge 3D arenas.

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3

Here comes another sequel for the old awesome anime ever from Japan, the Dragonball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3. Most gamers are focusing with the new ones like Naruto and Bleach and any other anime from Japan that is turned into games. This games are getting popular eh? After all, I find them very enjoyable to play especially with my friends.

To keep track with the tradition, Budokai Tenkaichi 3 offers plenty of crazy blasting of ki energy and enough Dragon Ball fan service to raise up your power lover for over 9000, but there's not a whole lot of innovation or terribly deep combat. One thing the game does have, however, is a good variety of different game modes. The main story mode is named Dragon History, and it takes you through a mess of battles made famous in all three Dragon Ball series and the movies. Dragon History mode loses the map that you have to navigate inbetween fights in the previous Budokai Tenkaichi 2, which helps streamline of the battles and keeps the action moving along.

You may consider many Dragon History bouts have been tackled in many previous games, some effort has been put into this mode to make one of a hell fresh fights. There are scripted moments within many of the battles. This triggers a new event of stor within the real fight, the results are usually in your current character flying out of the ring and an ally coming in to take over. Druing the match, you may hear multiple characters talking to advance in the storyline of the game. It's a little odd at first of course, you might get pissed with it, but it does a good job of replicating the feel of the anime.

The Dragon World Tour mode allows you to advance through a ranked tournament and the Ultimate Battle contains a few variants on the classic survival mode. One of the more interesting Ultimate Battle modes is being dubbed by Sim Dragon, which gives you ten turns to make your chosen fighter as strong as he or she can get. Each trun is completely menu-driven, and you can opt to train, explore, or rest your character. Making the proper decisions will boost or lower their stats and health. Once the ten days are up, you face off against an opponent with your current abilities. It's somewhat simple but it's an interesting twist on what is normally a fairly dry mode in fighting games.

Wireless Nunchuk revealed by Nyko

Having a problem with some Wii games that tangles up the cord of your Nunchuk? Worry no more because Nyko reveals a very convenient version of Nunchuk, well, its not new but its upgraded to being a wireless controller.

Nyko's Wireless Nunchuk employs 2.4GHz wireless to be able to communicate with the receive module that jacks into the Wiimote's usual Nunchuk port. You can turn on and off the connection through the power buttons on both the receiver and the Wireless Nunchuk as seen on the image.

With regards to the gameplay, the Wireless Nunchuk should function like the first-party option, as Nyko looks to be remaining true to Nintendo's general layout and button locations. Just wait for further announcement about the pricing and the confirmed release of this Wireless Nunchuk. For the meantime, feel free to speculate about this certain upgrade on Wii. Enjoy!

Futuristic Mod Wii Console

Easy enough to throw a few lights and a clear door on your PC or console and declare it a mod. But to make it look like this modded Wii takes an aesthetic eye. Put together by a modder who calls himself Kypes, the Wii features a black face and stand, clear sides, painted Disk Drive and LEDs that feature enough neon goodness to get a hipster excited.

What makes the LED arrangement so nice is the way the purple lights cross to highlight the disk drive and the green lights illuminate the rear fan. Kypes also included an additional SD slot in the back, a built in Game Cube memory card, and a new light for the load slot. Check out the video below for a better idea.

Naruto Shippuden: Gekitou Ninja Taisen EX 2 - sixth installment of Naruto Ninja Taisen

The second feature includes a new hand seal mechanism, which can be used by the player to raise their character's attack power or health.

Wiimote Cabinet for Wii fanatics

A Go Nintendo reader by the name of Craig has one hell of a dad. After all, it takes a great dad to build a sweet looking Wiimote cabinet like this. I'm no carpenter but it doesn't look all that difficult to make from a design perspective. You could probably find something similar in your local furniture store. However, the detail work on the front is done quite well. I would love to have one of these in my apartment. It probably won't be all that popular with the ladies, but then again nerdy stuff never is. So who really gives a damn.

We're not exactly sure why folks aren't as inclined to create confections, earrings and door unlockers with those other controllers, but something about the Wiimote just brings out the craftsman in DIY'ers at large. This go 'round, Craig has constructed a functioning cabinet that closely resembles Nintendo's heralded controller. Unfortunately, we have all ideas that it won't actually enable you to participate in any Mario Party 8 mini-games, but considering that there's no wrist strap tacked on the bottom, we wouldn't recommend whirling this about, anyway.

GTA on Wii? - No More Heroes

No More Heroes is an upcoming action-adventure Wii game. It is directed by Suda 51 (Goichi Suda), developed by Grasshopper Manufacture and published by Ubisoft, Rising Star Games, Spike, and Marvelous Interactive Inc.

Do you remember Killer7? Well, if you do, No More Heroes is not the sequel of it, actually, its an all new game. Even though those two games has common features, Director Suda said that Killer7 is more on political issues while No More Heroes is on social ones.

Plot

Travis Touchdown is a stereotypical otaku who lives in Santa Destroy, California, a fictional town which is experiencing poverty. Just after winning a beam katana in an online auction, he becomes a hitman that kills another hitman. When Travis kills a hitman, his ranking in the UAA goes up and also he earns money. UAA is something like a government for assassins. Above Travis in the UAA are ten other assassins, high school co-ed Shinobu, and the super powered Destroyman. Of course, as an assassin, there is in need of proper training of having the right weapons to compete with other assassins. Doctor Naomi is the one who provide weapons for Travis and Thunder Ryu is the one who teaches him skills in sword fighting and professional wrestling techniques.

hunt down those assassins!

Gameplay

The player has full control on the main character only. Just like in any GTA series, this game also have a free roaming world, this allows Travis to move around freely on bare foot or on his motorcycle namely the Schpel Tiger. The game play is open-ended, with the concession that the player must kill those assassins above him base on the ranking in order for the storyline to progress. As you go along the game, you will encounter several side quests to earn some money and gain additional weapons.

Wii has Tomb Raider Anniversary

In tribute to the past Tomb Raider games since it first lunches in PlayStation and to celebrate and commemorate the continuing development of the Tomb Raider franchise and its central character, Crystal Dynamics are developing a new Tomb Raider adventure. Inspired by the original Tomb Raider video game; Tomb Raider Anniversary faithfully preserves the elements which made the original Tomb Raider game such a classic.

Using an enhanced 'Tomb Raider: Legend' game engine, the graphics, technology and physics bring Lara's adventure pursuit of a mystical artifact known only as the Scion right up to today's technology standards and will offer gamers a completely new gameplay experience which they will truly enjoy.

Eidos Interactive announced that Tomb Raider Anniversary is to be released for Wii this November. The title will be an enhanced port of the upcoming PS2 game if the same name. According to Kathryn Clements, senior brand manager of Tomb Raider, the usage of the Wii remote and Nunchuk open up new ways and unique possibilities of controlling Lara. Imagine the things Lara might do using this kind of unique controllers.

House of the Dead also on Wii?

Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles has the coveted zombie-lightgun style arcade shooter for the Wii subgenre cornered, but Sega is looking to break Capcom's death grip on the market. Today, Sega announced that it is prepping The House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return for the Wii.

As the name suggests, the game includes versions of The House of the Dead 2 and The House of the Dead III in one package. Players will be able to choose from six game modes, including the standard arcade and time attack options, and there will be single-player campaign and multiplayer modes for two players. This won't be the first time these two titles have been paired up; the 2002 Xbox release of The House of the Dead III also included an unlockable House of the Dead 2 for those who beat the game.

Sega has not specified what changes would be made to the original games, but it did say the game will use the Wii Remote and the Nunchuk (and be designed with the Wii Zapper in mind as well). No price point was announced, but Sega expects the game will ship in spring 2008.

Alone in the Dark also on Wii

What with its lingering financial worries and loss of licenses, Atari is lot like a three-legged dog seen limping pitifully to the side of the road. We want to help, we do, but we've already got a perfectly good dog at home with all four legs intact. With so much hardship, it's evident that much of Atari's livelihood seems pinned on the success of the upcoming franchise reboot of Alone in the Dark, so it's unsurprising that the company has opted to release the survival horror title for the Wii and PS2 in addition to the previously announced versions in development for the Xbox 360, Playstation and PC.

The long-delayed game, which marks the fifth title in the Alone in the Dark franchise, was first announced in 2005, and features a script penned by Sleepers author Lorenzo Carcaterra. Interestingly, however, while the earlier announced versions of the game are being developed by Test Drive Unlimited devs Eden, the Wii and PS2 duties have been handed off to French developer Hydravision, which has some survival horror chops themselves having dveleoped the Obsucre series of games. It's still anyone's guess when Alone in the Dark in any form will make it to retail, though considering that there hasn't been a decent title in the series since Edward Carnby's 1992 debut, we think we can wait.

Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn

This game is known also as Fire Emblem: Akatsuki no Megami in Japan. It is a tactical role-playing game for Wii. It was developed by Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo. Radiant Dawn is the tenth Fire Emblem series title and the first series title for the Wii. This game was officially released on February 22, 2007 in Japan, and released in North America on November 5, 2007. The game is a direct sequel to the events of the Nintendo GameCube title Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, featuring the same style of cel-shaded FMV cutscenes and an upgraded game engine.

Plot

"Three years have passed since the Daein-Crimea war, where the mercenary Ike led the Crimean army to defeat Daein's mad King Ashnard. Both Daein and Crimea are still stabilizing after that war. Daein is ruled by the begnion occupation forces, after Crimea reinquished rule over their defeated country, and they are oppressed by the imperial soldiers. In the first of the game's four parts, a group of chivalrous thieves, which includes fortune-teller Micaiah, fight Begnion's oppression and attempt to liberate Daein and bring back power to the royal family.

The efforts of the Dawn Brigade are the beginning of a much larger conflict. In the next part, Crimea's Queen Elincia fights against conspiring nobles, who plot to overthrow her. The following part sees the Greil mercenaries assist the united Laguz army as they go to war with the Begnion Empire. The consequences of this war can be seen in the fourth and final part, where the Dawn Brigade and the Greil mercenaries join forces to defeat the Begnion senate and the threatening goddess of chaos high above at the Guiding Tower." via wii-news.dcemu.co.uk

New Wii Gun - Wii Blaster

Unlike the official Nintendo Wii lightgun accessory that has the trigger up in the front hand—which is more awkward than Frankenstein dancing—the dreamGEAR Wii GameBlaster has only one trigger, and it's in the back. Also unlike the official gun, it takes in both the Wiimote and the Nunchuk controller and connects the two without visible wires. This actually looks better than the real thing, and if you can somehow reprogram the trigger button in-game to be on the Nunchuk instead of on the Wiimote, you've got yourself the optimal zombie shooting experience.

With the announcement of Resident Evil 4 and Umbrella Chronicles for the Wii, coupled with the still unreleased Virtual Console titles Duck Hunt and Hogan's Alley, it's time to start asking, "Where's the Wii Zapper?" Gamestop has listed the Wii Blaster for $20 and what we strongly believe to be a placeholder date of May 1. Although, this isn't necessarily the most improbable date with the Resident Evil games expected to have a summer release.

The Gamestop listing has no photo of the what the Zapper Blaster looks like now. The last time we saw her she was behind glass at E3 with a "work in progress" sign. We're really looking forward to having a gun, these first-person shooters just don't feel natural with a Wiimote. Now give us a game that allows for dual wielding Blasters and that's a guaranteed $50 going to that publisher!

Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles

In Japan, this game is also known as Biohazard: Umbrella Chronicles. It is the much awaited upcoming shooter game and the seventh installment of Capcom's Resident Evil series. The game is slated to be released on the following date and area:
November 13, 2007 - North America
November 15, 2007 - Japan
November 30, 2007 - Europe

Gameplay

Umbrella Chronicles is for those players who wanted more of Resident Evil game. There aren't any slow-moving adventure sections here, just full of shooting action. Unlike the Survivor game, the player is automatically guided through the games' multiple stages and assaulted by zombies at nearly every turn. The analog stick on the Nunchuk can be used to look around, used for camera view, but not move, this seems to be the Nunchuk's only function in the game. Pressing down on the remote's D-pad quickly switches between your available weapons like a pistol, shotgun and machine gun.

Umbrella Corp. isn't vanished yet

Since the graphics are generated in real-time, the game features destructible environments. You can freely shoot on the game, like pictures on walls, statues or other objects, which will break instantly and may even hide some extra weapons or ammunition. You can also shoot at the lights to darken the room, though that will make it even harder to see those fleshy zombie obstacle is coming up in front of you.

Game Plot

The game follows the story behind the downfall of the ever popular corporation in Resident Evil series, the Umbrella Corporation simply by revisiting scenarios from Resident Evil Zero, Resident Evil, Resident Evil 2, and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. It will conclude with an assault upon an Umbrella stronghold. The known playable characters include Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, Rebecca Chambers, Billy Coen, Carlos Oliviera, Richard Aiken, Ada Wong, HUNK, and Albert Wesker.

Manhunt 2 Slammed From All Angles

Following Take-Two’s admission that hackers had successfully unlocked Adults Only content supposedly cut from the M-rated version of Manhunt 2, California State Senator Leland Yee has called for the game to be reclassified again, while the National Alliance for Mental Illness (NAMI) has criticized the game for perpetuating “cruel, inaccurate perceptions that people who live with mental illnesses are violent.”

While multiple edits were made to revise Manhunt 2 so it would be granted a Mature rating (17+), hackers appear to have proven that the sections of the game in question were blocked but not entirely cut, allowing them to create a modified version of the title not meant for release.

“We hope that consumers will not engage in hacking or download illegally modified copies of our games. We encourage them to enjoy our games as they are meant to be played,” said Take-Two chairman Strauss Zelnick in a statement Thursday. However, as GamePolitics reports, Take-Two’s line of defense hasn’t been able to stop fresh waves of criticism."

“Not only should the AO rating immediately be reinstated on [Manhunt 2], the Federal Trade Commission should investigate Rockstar and the ESRB to determine how this was allowed to happen again,” said Senator Yee."

“Time and time again, the ESRB rating process fails parents. It is unconscionable that the rating board would downgrade Manhunt 2’s rating from AO to M and therefore make the game available to children. The ESRB and Rockstar continuously put profits before children."

“Parents deserve to know what, if any, content was truly removed to receive the downgraded rating. ESRB has refused to publicly disclose whether or not Rockstar divulged that such adult content could still be accessible. As if we needed more evidence, this episode further puts into question the validity of the entire rating system."

“The Manhunt 2 scandal further demonstrates the need for [California’s contested video game] law. I am hopeful that the courts will see that severe penalties are necessary for those who sell horrifically violent games to minors.”
