Spend 2010 playing the WiiWare versions of the entire Phoenix Wright library
By Joe Fourhman | November 18, 2009
Although once an only-in-Japan punchline (WTF LAWYER GAME?!?!?), Phoenix Wright has become fairly ubiquitous here in the West. Even as the Ace Attorney DS series passed the lawyering torch off to Apollo Justice, Phoenix still seems to hold the giant OBJECTION finger of our hearts.
Today Capcom announced that the three Phoenix Wright DS games will arrive on WiiWare next year. January will see the four-chapter “Ace Attorney” for 1000 points, plus you have the option of getting the fifth AA chapter for another 100. “Justice for All” appears in March, and “Trials and Tribulations” is scheduled for May.
We’ve talked about this on the podcast once of twice, about Phoenix Wright being an odd little beast. A tad too trial-and-errory for me; a little too nonsensical for Haygood. But at $10, you could do a whole lot worse. Given that this series is much-loved on DS (and remember that the DS releases were ports of popular Japanese GBA originals), I’d say we’re getting a pretty ripe plum for WiiWare.
Nintendo Download – November 16th Edition
By Joe Haygood | November 16, 2009
This week’s edition of Nintendo Download has five new demos for consumers to check out and see if the games are worth their hard earned Wii points. Also, it looks as if we do not have enough Street Fighter titles on the Virtual Console, as we have another joining the fray.
For those of you are looking for more titles to fill up your memory cards on their DSi, there are a handful of titles for you to enjoy, including a new bowling title.
Check out the jump for the full release schedule, and pricing.
Read-a-long with Nintendo Power #248 (December 2009)
By Joe Fourhman | November 10, 2009
Nintendo Power continues their holiday game coverage with a cover feature on Mario and another big list of reviews. You Shantae fans will want to search this issue out for the cool character design evolution chart. The rest of you will just have to imagine bikini-clad genie girls and read-a-long!
Issue #248, December 2009
featuring New Super Mario Bros Wii, Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing (Wii), Infinite Space (DS)
Nintendo announced a flurry of new games at E3 09, but only one was slotted to be this year’s big holiday title… and that’s New Super Mario Bros Wii. Nintendo Power is quick to point out the game is no watered down party minigame collection. In fact, it’s more of a watered-up version of New Super Mario Bros on DS.
As the first console-based 2D Mario title in eighteen years, NSMBW owes everything to the NES/SNES generation. The screenshots show rolling hills, card-matching minigames, an overworld map, and the usual allotment of tubes, coins and blocks. NP stresses that the game is a fully capable single-player experience, just in case you thought the levels were best enjoyed with the 4-man multiplayer.
Runaway: A Twist of Fate Gina Trailer
By Joe Haygood | November 9, 2009Focus Home Entertainment and Pendulo Studios have released a new trailer for their upcoming adventure title, Runaway: A Twist of Fate. In this trailer, we get to see some of the action from the view of the other protagonist in the series, Gina Torres. It appears she thinks Brian Basco is dead, and she proceeds to get herself in some trouble.
Runaway: A Twist of Fate also looks like it has moved its release date to early 2010. As most have said, this just adds to an extended holiday purchasing season that now seems to occupy October to March. The title will be available on the PC and the Nintendo DS.
Also, you can check out the new site for Runaway: A Twist of Fate by following the link.
Nintendo Download Monday – the excited about plankton edition
By Joe Fourhman | November 9, 2009Remember two weeks ago when Nintendo announced Excitebike: World Rally on their weekly Channel informercial? Now it’s out. Surprise! It’s like Nintendo wants you to have nothing to look forward to, aside from vague promises about the next Mario or Zelda release. The four-player World Rally sells for 1000 Wii points, has online play, and the much-loved Excitebike level editor.
Electroplankton was an obscure DS release, a music toy available only online or at the Nintendo World Store in NYC. Starting today, the non-game is available in component parts on DSiWare. Five of the planned ten releases are ready to buy at 200 DSi points apiece. What I don’t know is if they all combine like mighty Voltron to make one DSi app, or if your DSi menu is going to be forever clogged by individual Electroplankton mini-apps. At any rate, now’s your chance to explore the origins of that unplayably weird Smash Brawl stage, Hanenbow.
From the not-first-parties, there’s Frogger Returns on WiiWare for 500 points, Bomberman Blitz on DSiWare for 500 points, and the Virtual Console gets Cybernoid (C64, 500 points) and Wonder Boy III (Sega Master System, 500 points). And not to forget Dragon Master Spell Caster, because with a title like that, you’ can’t (WiiWare, 500 points).
Nintendo already setting things up for next Pokemon release
By Joe Fourhman | November 8, 2009
Arceus is your gateway pokemon to next spring’s release of Pokemon HeartGold / SoulSilver.
The rare, legendary, FINAL pokedex member is available this week at Toys R Us as a free Wonder Card download for any of the current three DS core Pokemon games. Not only do you get a level 100 monster, but you also get a little shove of interest to the next Pokemon games. Seems that Arceus, when traded forward into HeartGold or SoulSilver, will allow you to “witness the moment a legendary pokemon comes to be.”
Having Arceus on your team will allow you to catch – at level 1 – either Dialgia, Palkia or Giratina. You know, the three poster monsters for Diamond, Pearl and Platinum, respectively. Sure, pro Pokemon Trainers likely have all three of them already (legally, even.) But catching them at level 1 means you’re getting the beast in a far more malleable form. Like, you could train it to fetch sodas from the fridge or something.
Review: Powermat Mats and Receivers for DSi, DS Lite, iPod and iPhone
By Stephen Munn | November 8, 2009What is it?
The Powermat is an electronic appliance that you set on a surface and plug into the wall, then use to charge your small electronic devices. I spent a lot of time thinking about what to compare it to, and I think I’ve got it: it’s a power strip. Imagine a power strip that doesn’t have any holes in it, but is capable of charging up to four of your devices simultaneously without using their charging cables.
That’s right, it doesn’t use the charging cables. This sucker is wireless. Well, sort of. There’s the wire that plugs it into the wall, of course. And if you don’t pick up a custom receiver for each of your devices, you’re still going to need to connect the universal receiver (called a Powercube) that comes with the Mat to your non Powermat-enabled device, using one of the many adapter tips, to the device using a wire. The reasons you’d do it this way are pretty compelling, and I’ll get to that.
Powermat sent along two of their Powermat devices and three of their dedicated receivers for me to try out, so I’m going to take you through exactly what these are and why you might consider picking them up.
New Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks Trailer
By Adam Englebright | November 6, 2009
Gametrailers has got a WORLD EXCLUSIVE!!! trailer for the upcoming Legend of Zelda game, the DS title Spirit Tracks. Amongst other things, the trailer reveals that (spoilers) Zelda will be with you throughout the game, albeit in spirit form. The trailer shows her posessing one of those annoying suit-of-armour demons (from the previous DS title, Phantom Hourglass) and you controlling it with the stylus, using its invinciblity to aid you crossing lava and blocking fire. It looks like quite an interesting addition – perhaps like those statues you could control in Twilight Princess. I’ll stop describing it and let you watch the trailer, just hit the jump.
Ones to Watch: Wii and DS for November 2009
By Joe Fourhman | November 2, 2009
Those of us who made the Club Nintendo Platinum Elite may already be enjoying the first Wii release of the month, Doc Louis’s Punch-Out. The rest of you, read on and see what Nintendo has on their little white plate.
November 3
Academy of Champions Soccer – Ubisoft’s arcade soccer + Hogwarts game is finally out. This one made an initial splash for including characters from Ubisoft’s stable like Jade and Mr. Splinter Cell.
LEGO Rock Band – The multiplatform family-focused Rock Band title arrives. I still think it’s odd that the setlist isn’t true kids music from established kids bands, because what you are getting really isn’t appreciably different from a regular Rock Band setlist. 2009 seems to be the year that Harmonix finally squanders all that goodwill they’ve built up since the initial RB release. And speaking of that, Band Hero is also out this week. Both are also on DS.
Rabbids Go Home – The evolution of the Rabbids into a genuine gaming brand is complete as they get their first non-garbage-minigames game. Actually sounds pretty funny, if you can stomach the oh-so-zany Rabbid marketing. (Also on DS)
November 9
Excitebike: World Rally – Nintendo stealth-announced this new WiiWare title on the October 26th Nintendo Week show. Looks like a fair redux of the NES original, with some very familiar track layouts just at a new 3D camera angle. And it still has a level editor!
Nintendo Download Monday – the another freaking Street Fighter?!?! edition
By Joe Fourhman | November 2, 2009Seriously. Can we just knock this the hell off? How many ports of Street Fighter do we need on the Virtual Console? To make matters worse, this “new” one is a TG-16 version hilariously titled “Fighting Street”! Are you freaking kidding me?!?! Yeah, sure, let’s sell it for 800 points, because that’s fair. Or you can hold out for Fighting Street Alpha Prime DX.
In other news, you can keep the Halloween train rollin’ with “Aha! I Got It!” Escape Game, which tells the horrifying tale of a father who locks his son in a room and forces him to find a way out. 500 points gets you this WiiWare torture porn simulator. Wait… it’s not supposed to sound scary?
The only first party offering is Sparkle Snapshots, a 500-point DSiWare app that enhances the built-in camera tools.
You’ll also find the Sega Master System version of R-Type, some intriguing DSi games about vikings and giants, and another pair of needless WiiWare releases involving carnivals and card games. All neatly available for your perusal after the jump.
