Dragon Blade: Wrath of Fire

This game is for the Wii from D3 Publisher which was released on September 25, 2007. Dragon Blade follows a young adventurer who seeks six legendary pieces of the "Dragon Blade", each infused with the soul of different guardian dragons. In an attempt to build the ultimate weapon and vanquish evil, the main character of the game embarks on a quest to find and seal away each of the six dragons, taking their souls and abilities in the process.

Gameplay

Dragon Blade: Wrath of Fire is a Hack and Slash game that mixes with Beat'em up and RPG aspects, similar to God of War and Devil May Cry.

In the game, the Wii Remote is used as the weapon held by the main character. At first, it is a sword that can only slash and defend, but as you go through deeper in the game, you gain more weapon transformations. Confirmed usable weapon modes are a dragon fist, two dragon fists, a dragon head, dragon wings and a dragon tail. There are twenty levels in the game, and five worlds. To fight, players can lock-on to enemies and either shoot fire with the dragon head or do various close combat techniques depending on which weapon is being used.

"Gamers have been asking for fun, original games on the Wii and D3PA has answered their call with Dragon Blade," said Alison Quirion, VP of marketing, D3PA. "Dragon Blade stays true to its game design roots by focusing on the pure beat-em-up, arcade style action that gamers love while taking full advantage of the Wii controls to achieve as close to one-to-one motion as possible so players will truly experience the action like never before."

Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games

This is an announced sports game by Sega and Nintendo, and the first official crossover game featuring both Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog, Nintendo and Sega's former rival mascots, along with other different characters from their respective series. It is set for release on both the Nintendo DS and Wii during the Christmas season of 2007, and is officially licensed by the International Olympic Committee through exclusive licensee International Sports Multimedia. This will be the first official game of the 2008 Summer Olympic Games to be released, with a more realistic sports game to be later released by Sega in 2008.

Wii News

Sega announced to the public that its plans for Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games to be one of its top sellers by next year. Sega made the statement at this week's Tokyo Game Show. Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games is the first official title to feature both the iconic gaming mascots in the same arena. It will be released on the Wii by this year, and has been licensed officially by the Olympics committee. Sega said next year's Beijing games will be a big part in reaching the four million unit target of sales. The publisher did not say when it plans to meet the multi million goal. It took the original Halo more than two years to reach the same number of copies sold.

Game Details

Sega has raced out details for Mario and Sonic partnering in one game entitled Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games.

Finally, this two famous characters get to battle in 20 authentic sporting events, each calling on the help of seven friends to make up the numbers.

Each of the character will have their own strengths and weaknesses, too. Bowser will naturally do well at 'shot put' because he's a bit dumpy, while Sonic will run quickly in his buckled-up trainers. Mario and moustache will be an all rounder player, as always.

You will also be able to play against the AI computer or your friends at single matches, or string a number of events together in a circuit. On Wii, winning will involve replicating the various movements on the screen using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk: pumping your arms to spring or thrusting energetically to fence. Get bored of that and you can try to beat Mission mode made up of the toughest athletic challenges.

There's also a quiz mode and mini-games that appears to be unlockable in the game that uncover all the history of the past Olympic Games - those ones where animals weren't allowed to compete.

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games will be released for Wii November 2007 and follow in Q1 2008 on DS.

List of Olympic events in the game:
Fencing
Archery
Shooting - Skeet
Gymnastics - Trampoline
Gymnastics - Vault
Field - High Jump

Bioshock on Wii

Wii News

This game could be published to Wii, PS3, PS2 and handhelds, according to an analyst in a recent Take-Two report.

In a company update, Mike Hickey, a Janco Partners analyst banked on Take-Two extracting more from the success of the much awaited, critically acclaimed Bioshock, as well as the continues anticipation of GTA IV.

Hickey said that they expect the management could choose to raise its capital by now, leveraging a higher share of price, investor enthusiasm over the GTA IV release, the franchise potential of Bioshock and their strong fiscal "08 guidance".

Don't put your life on hold though - if Bioshock should make it to other formats, Hickey doesn't expect it to happen before fiscal year 2009.

Call of Duty 3 on Wii

Thrills and excitement defines Call of Duty 3

This game takes place in 1944 during the Normandy Breakout. After landing successfully on the France's beaches, the Allies focused on getting the Germans out of France and liberating Paris, which was under Nazi control at that time. As were the case in the previous game, you are placed in the role of several soldiers, and you'll participate in campaigns for Poland, Canada, Britain, and America. Each country's campaign has its unique storyline that is supposed to get you emotionally involved with the characters, but the stories aren't very interesting; there's a soldier with a strong distate for the French, an overbearing sergeant, and a young radio operator who has been labeled a coward. Though the stories aren't particularly engaging, fighting for four different armies works because it gives you a sense of how much effort it took to wrest control of France the Germans and that it wasn't just the US that lost men and women in World War II.

Gameplay

Call of Duty 3 isn't a run-and-gun FPS, but its not as slow-paced as a tactical shooter. You'll fight alongside CPU-controlled soldiers, and you'll generally need to stay behind cover, pick off as many soldiers as you can, and then advance to the next safe spot. Because there's no health bar in the game, you will be needing to watch closely on your screen when you are getting a hit. As you get shot, the edges of the screen turn crimson and close in around you the more you get hit. Should you fall victim to a grenade or a bullet and not die, all you have to do is seek shelter to recover your health. Because the game's artificial intelligence initially appears "smarter" than in a typical FPS, it can be frustrating to be unable to clear a particular section because of cheap tricks like how new enemies will spawn to replace fallen soldiers in outdoor levels. But once you come to grips with the fact that you can't kill them all, it shouldn't bother you much. You still need to be careful not to shoot your fellow soldiers, the game is enabled on friendly-fire.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl Goes Wireless!!

Wii News

The official Super Smash Bros. Brawl web site has now revealed the details on the online multiplayer features for the upcoming Wii exclusive fighting game. The game will allow up to four players to battle each other online. The game will allow people to play with those they have registered as friends; they will be able to check to see if they are online and will be able to send short messages. Players will also be able to play against strangers but they will not be able to check each other's status or send messages. The game has still not been seen in playable form in public but that may change this week at the Tokyo Game Show. Super Smash Bros. Brawl is scheduled to be released in the US in early December.

There are two primary connection methods. The names of these methods are "With Friends" and "With Anyone." The menus and structures of each method are pretty different.

With Friends

Wii friends who have registered one another’s names can play together freely.

Register With Friends

If you’re registered as friends, you can check each other’s status. If a friend is online and you earn his or her consent, you can enter a battle.

Edit your icons

And even send short messages during brawls!

With Anyone

You can also battle with people you don’t know who are looking for brawls. The most important point here is that you will not know each other’s names.

If you think of your opponent as a simple scarecrow, any psychological barriers may melt away.

Your opponent will not know your name or any information about you, and neither of you can send short messages. There will also be no battle records kept for this mode, so whether you win or lose, it doesn’t matter. Just sit back and play.

Now, while you’re waiting for a match to start, you can kill time with a little practice on Sandbag.

Need for Speed: ProStreet

Wii News

Electronic Arts will release the next game in its Need for Speed franchise for the Xbox 360, Playstation 2/3, Wii, Nintendo DS, PC and mobile devices this fall.

The company today said that Need for Speed Prostreet will be available in North America on October 31. The latest title in the series requires gamers to "build the ultimate battle machine, take it to multi-disciplinary showdowns and pit their skills and reputation against the world’s best street racers."

According to the developer, Prostreet takes users through the stages of designing and building a car, competing in locations around the globe and battling in four racing styles – grip, drag, drift as well as a new "speed challenge." EA said that the game will offer "photo-realistic vehicles and billowing smoke".

Gameplay

This game will take the Need for Speed series in a new direction of gameplay. Instead of an arcade style, which dominated the series, ProStreet will focus much more on realism and move closer to racing simulation, and still with options to use driving assistants to make driving easier and more arcade-like. Unlike its predecessors, all racing in ProStreet will take place on closed tracks, thus making it the first game in the series not animating illegal racing behavior since the Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed, hence there will not be any police in the game. Performance tuning will take up a large part of gameplay in a way that even a small adjustment of the shape of a car's body will impact its performance.

ProStreet will feature next-generation graphics aiming for a more realistic feel, and more advanced physics. It will also be the first Need for Speed game to include damage modelling since 2000'2 Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed. The new damage system is said to be very accurate, as a collision with any object in the game world may render a car damaged or even useless.

The Force is Unleashed by Next Year

Wii News

Answering the pleas of many fans, Lucas Arts has officially announced a game that will turn the Wii Remote into a digital light saber.

Media reports from as far back as 2005, when the Wii's controller was first unveiled, often likened it to a light saber. That description will be more realistic than ever when Star Wars: The Force Unleashed comes out for the Wii in early 2008.

The Force Unleashed for Wii will port of the same game that is slated for the PS2, PS3, PSP, XBOX 360, and Nintendo DS. It will, however, include an exclusive duel mode that allows two gamers to spar in light saber battles. The control scheme is also likely to be much different with the Wii than it will be on any of the other consoles.

Lucas Arts teased the idea in July, saying of a Wii light saber game, "We're all over that. There'll be some stuff out this fall; it's going to be a lot of fun."

The publisher announced this week that The Force Unleashed would not be available on the Wii until spring of next year. So far it has announced any titles for the console for 2007.

32-Player Online Wii Game Sets by EA

Wii News

EA has announced that the Wii version of Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 will have online support for 32 players, 16 more than what is traditionally offered on the Xbox 360. Isn't this great or what. The more the merrier as they say.

Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 is the first 32-player online game, as well as the first online first-person shooter announced for the Wii. Gamepro reports it will also feature open-ended battling, meaning users can jump in and drop out at any point in the middle of a game. Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 will reportedly bypass the friend code system for most features, allowing players to enter matches without already having an established friend list.

It is a big move not only for the Wii, but for the online FPS genre in general. The only Medal of Honor game on the XBOX 360, Airborne, only supports 12 simultaneous players online. Most Xbox 360 titles carry a maximum of 16-player support. The PS3, meanwhile, has games that can handle up to 40 players at once.

EA is one of the first big supporters of the Wi-Fi capabilities of the Wii. In fact, EA has announced more online-enabled Wii games than Nintendo.

Mario is capable of jumping or launching from planet to planet in order to gather items and defeat some nasty enemies. Gravity plays a significant role in the game, as each planet has a gravitational force that repels Mario from drifting into space, which allows the player to walk evenly around a complexly rounded surface. The changing of degrees of gravity also have an effect on Mario's ability to jump, and is used to pull Mario towards certain planetoids while in the middle of the air.

Victorious Boxers: Revolution

Gameplay

A realistic boxing sports game that will absolutely knock you down. This game tends to take the advantage of the usage of Wii Remote and Nunchuk. Simply by acting like a professional boxer, perform some shadow boxing, and execute some boxing moves is the key to the game. The characters are based on the very popular manga anime in Japan, Hajime no Ippo. Victorious Boxers: Revolutions will be featuring a head ups display for the damage and time.

Super Paper Mario

Though originally planned for the Gamecube, Super Paper Mario was held back for Wii release in the much same way as The Legend of Zelda was, and I've got to say, it looks awesome. Word on the Internets is that the game will be released in the US in April and there's no word of a date on our shores yet.

Despite the super cool style of the game, the thing that really gets me excited is the control system. Nintendo haven't just tried to bolt-on Wii remote functionality which would make it feel even more of a port than it already is. You'll be able to control Mario by flipping controller, that's a D-pad and two main buttons. Perfect if you got yourself these decals in fact. Two Mario games due in 2007 for the Wii alone.

Gameplay: Like other Paper Mario games, Super Paper Mario borrows both platforming and rpg elements in its gameplay. "Flipside", a main hub city, is a location provided for Mario and his party to talk to residents, rest, and shop, als o to open doorways to different other worlds. There is also "Flopside" that exist which is a mirror version of Flipside. Flopside will be available in the last half of the game containing improved shops and items. In previous Paper Mario games, there is no turn-based fighting, instead, the player faces its foes directly on screen as in a usual Mario platform game, and through gaining experience and special items, the amount of damage dealt could be increased. Also, the player must watch the party's health, when damaged, it can be restored with special health items. This are some of the insights of Super Paper Mario. There's a lot of things that is very interesting to deal with in this game. Combining the classic Paper Mario games with the latest game release, imagine the quality of the game and its features.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

An action adventure upcoming game developed by Nintendo Entertainment Analysis and Development and published by Nintendo for the Wii game consoles as part of critically acclaimed The Legend of Zelda video game series. It was originally planned to release in November 2005, but it was delayed by Nintendo so that the staff could add more content and refine the game. The Wii version was released on the dates of the Wii launch, in November and December 2006. This makes Twilight Princess the first Zelda game to debut at the launch of Wii console. The Legend of Zelda is very popular among all Nintendo subscribers and users. I consider it a 'legend' myself because almost in all Nintendo consoles, there is a Legend of Zelda game published on it.

The story of the game focuses on Link as he tries to prevent the Twilight Realm from engulfing Hyrule as both a human and a wolf with the help of a mysterious creature named Midna. It takes place many years after Majora's Mask, on the timeline that is created after the events of Ocarina of Time.

Gameplay

In Twilight Princess, Link shares similar moves between human and wolf. For example, when an enemy is on the ground, Link has the option to finish them off by plunging his sword into their chest, in wolf form, he can do this to foes to rip out their souls. Link can communicate with animals in wolf form as if they were people. When transformed into a wolf, Link's sense of smell is improved, allowing him to follow trails left by certain characters in the in the game. However, Link cannot use any of his items, open any doors with handles and climb ladders, and will take double damage from enemies in wolf form.

With an interesting gameplay and characters, I just can't wait to get my hands on this game. Now, to all Legend of Zelda players out there, this is one of the latest games released by Nintendo that is going to be very exciting and a must have game by all players. Featuring the original characters in all Legend of Zelda games and awesome new techniques and skills by Link. Its fantastic 3D graphics that everyone must see.

Characters

Link

A Hylian who lives as a farmhand in Ordon Village, where he is eventually expected to become the mayor. Can transform into a wolf to improve his capabilities when needed.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Super Smash Bros. Brawl is an upcoming fighting game for Wii. It is the third installment of the Super Smash Bros. series. Brawl is the first Super Smash Bros. game that features at least one character from a franchise not owned by Nintendo with the inclusion of Solid Snake from Metal Gear. Super Smash Bros. Brawl is to be released on December 2007. This kind of game is very intriguing because they tried to match up different characters and they tend to compare each of them. I found them all unique and of course, not all characters are equal, meaning there is a character who is much stronger than the other character. So try to do some practice on every single one of them to know their abilities and techniques. Super Smash Bros. Brawl also setting a feature to an online access. Be sure to get it as it launches.

Gameplay

The game uses a battle system that is different from the average fighting game. Choosing from multiple unique characters, two to four players can fight on various stages, all while trying to knock opponents off the stage. Instead of using health bars, it features percentage meter. It starts at zero percent, and as character takes damage when hit. When the character is knocked off the stage, they lose either a life or a point depending on the game mode. The characters can attack each other with a variety of weapons, ranging from projectiles to melee weapons. Each item has different effects on the characters near it. Single items and crates and barrels, which often contain an assortment of items, fall onto the stage randomly in a battle.

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

An action shooting video game for Wii developed by Retro Studios published by Nintendo. This is the 10th game in the Metroid series and is the third and final of the main installments in the Metroid Prime Trilogy. The game takes place six months after the Metroid Prime 2: Echoes and introduces a new control system based on Wii Remote and Nunchuk. The game was released on August 27, 2007 in North America and in stores on August 28. In August 10, 2007, Nintendo released a preview channel to North American Wii owners via the Wii shop channel, containing storyline and gameplay videos. I have played some Metroid series in the past, full of action and very addictive. In this series, I will not expect much on this, I will just let it to surprise me. I'm excited to play it on Wii, just like playing in virtual reality game.

Gameplay

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is a 3D 1st-person action adventure game. Players can point the Arm Cannon with the Wii Remote then the Grappling Beam by moving the Nunchuk. You can choose whether A or B button for firing. The C button executes the Morph Ball Mode, and Z locks on targets in the Combat Visor, you can scan object by using Scan Visor, controls Samus's ship using the Command Visor, and guides along magnetic rails in Morph Ball Mode. There is going to be a lot of movements and pointing that needs to be executed in order to stay alive in this game, I think. Maybe playing with this game more often will naturally generate some techniques and fine movements for me. Familiarizing with the buttons and movements is the key to perform better in this game.

Story Line

The Galactic Federation's network computer called Aurora Unit, is completely corrupted with something like a virus. The Federation believes that Space Pirates is behind all this problem. Samus, the heroin of the game, and other hunters leaps to their defense only to find out that the enemy they are facing is Dark Samus, a powerful villain armed with enormous power that no one can withstand.

Characters

Samus Aran - the heroin of the game. She is a bounty hunter armed with Cybernetic Power Suit with multiple advanced technologies on it. She hunts aliens called Space Pirates and energy-draining alien parasites called Metroids.

Dark Samus - the doppelganger of Samus Aran. She serves as the leader of the Space Pirates in corruption through the use of mind control.
