Super Mario Galaxy

Gameplay

Now, isn't Mario too familiar in this game console? Here's another Mario game for everybody that is to be released this November 2007. Super Mario Galaxy is an upcoming adventure game that is one extraordinary Mario game for Wii. As for the title, most of the game is set out there in outer space along with a different chain of miniature planetoids and other matters can only be seen on space. 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. Like any other 3D Mario games, the main objective here is to collect Stars, which are awarded by completing tasks or defeating different enemies.

As in every 3D Mario game, the health of Mario consists of a power meter, which causes Mario to lose a life if it reaches zero. When the game starts, Mario begins with a power meter made of three sections. Mario has a second and separate health meter that designates his supply of air when swimming underwater, if the meter reaches to zero, Mario will drown. The bottomless pits featured in previous Mario games which cause Mario to lose a life when fallen in have been replaced by black holes, which are stationed beneath the surfaces of certain planets and peppered thoughout space.

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.

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.
