Ones to Watch: Wii and DS for February 2010
Tatsunoko vs Capcom and No More Heroes 2 made January a pretty good lookin’ month for Wii owners. February doesn’t look quite as good for Nintendo’s twin engines of retail destruction, but maybe you’ll find a new Wii or DS release in here to pass the time until Silent Hill: Shattered Memories drops in price.
February 2
DS – Imagine: Reporter may be one of the best Imagine games yet. I hope it teaches kids how to talk with a fake inflection and pretend to be confused at modern day technologies like “My Space.”
February 9
Wii – Shiren the Wanderer is a roguelike series that dates back to the SNES. This is the third in the series; the gameplay style was borrowed by the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series.
Wii – Super Monkey Ball: Step & Roll makes use of the Balance Board, but you can default to the Remote+Nunchuk if you’d rather.
February 10
Wii – Sam & Max: Season Two – Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space might arrive on this date and it might not. IGN has it slotted here, but Telltale’s website still says Coming Soon.
February 16
DS – Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth features Edgy-baby’s return, in a different sort of Ace Attorney game. You actually walk.
DS – Ragnanok is the DS version of a PC MMORPG. In fact, if you pre-order the DS game, you get stuff for the PC version.
DS – KORG DS-10 Plus had its release date plussed a couple weeks from the January date we reported last month.
February 23
Wii – Endless Ocean: Blue World will bring fish-petting to a whole new level (voice chat!)
Wii – Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing will arrive on multiple platforms, but lately Sonic has most firmly allied himself with Nintendo. Seems fair to assume his kart racer will do well on the Wii.
