Pokemon Rumble has spawned a card game
By Joe Fourhman | November 20, 2009
Just in case you thought the Pokemon Trading Card Game’s complexity was prohibitive to younger players, there’s a new easy-play edition on the way that ties directly to recent WiiWare release Pokemon Rumble.
The Pokemon Rumble TCG ($10, coming early December) comes with sixteen cards and plenty of dice and token accessories, bent on simulating Rumble’s Battle Royale mode. The cards are fully compatible with the “regular” Pokemon TCG, but feature artwork done in the cute low-poly style of the Rumble WiiWare game. The thumbnail description (I haven’t seen an actual rulebook yet) makes it sound like a controlled guessing game where you wager which pokemon will survive based on how you roll the dice and what attacks are currently available.
The official Pokemon Rumble website has launched, and it currently offers a fourth code for owners of the WiiWare game. Unbelievably, the code unlocks the ultimate Gen 1 fanbait critter, Mew. The site promises more codes to come soon, including some that must be discovered by playing a matching game.
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.
Pokemon Rumble already making with the free code giveaways
By Joe Fourhman | November 17, 2009
It was a little buried by all the excitement over WiiWare demos yesterday, but Pokemon Rumble has some surprises of its own. The new WiiWare game allows unlockable pokemon via code, and two releases are already available.
One was mentioned in the weekly Nintendo Download press release. If you buy the game and have synced your Club Nintendo account, you will get an email in about a week with a secret code. Nintendo has the details here. They don’t say exactly what the code unlocks, but there’s a picture of a Charizard. So I’m thinking Charizard. This offer expires next April.
Note that Nintendo’s info page at this writing still thinks Pokemon Rumble is only 1000 Wii Points. It’s actually 1500. I smell a last-minute price hike.
The second code can be found by watching this week’s edition of Nintendo Week via the Wii’s Nintendo Channel. Host Alison has a Rumble interview and the guest reveals the eight digit code that will net you a Blastoise. Following the trend here of Final Evolutions of Gen 1 Starters, I’m going to guess that a Venusaur will be made available through Nintendo Power or wherever.
Pokemon Rumble features the entire original cast of 150 Pokemon, but it seems plain that the hooks are there to add in the remaining 330+. It just remains to be seen how Nintendo will add those guys in and what it will cost.
Incidentally, the game is pretty much Li’l Diablo.
Super Mario Bros. Wii Hits Retail
By Joe Haygood | November 16, 2009
Over the weekend, a new Mario Bros. game came out, but not just any Mario Bros. game. This time out, it was a successor to Super Mario Bros., the classic that every probably remembers playing at least once in their childhood. Now we have Super Mario Bros. Wii, to sate your appetite, but with a new twist. This time around you have multiplayer to help, or destroy your teammates.
I have to admit that this game was nowhere on my radar, as I just never really watch many Wii releases, but after I got a chance to try the game out, I was hooked. I am going to get this game as soon as I have extra cash, because it looks like it will be a ton of fun. It may also be the game that drives me to get two more Wiimotes. CURSE YOU NINTENDO!

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.
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.
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!
