Activision’s Guitar Hero: Metallica explodes onto retail shelves across North America

By  •  Wii

Santa Monica, CA – March 31, 2009 – Having pioneered and expanded the heavy metal genre while gaining critical and popular success over the past 25 years, Metallica invites gamers to “Ride the Lightning” with them and over 20 other rocking artists in Activision Publishing, Inc.’s (Nasdaq: ATVI) latest release – Guitar Hero® Metallica®. Enter the world of Lars Ulrich, James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo and experience the intensity and skill of one of the greatest bands of all time. Shred on the guitar controller, rip on the drum kit controller and wail on the mic to over 45 explosive hits from both Metallica’s illustrious career and a variety of other legendary artists selected by the band, such as Alice In Chains, Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band, Foo Fighters, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Queen.

“When Guitar Hero came to us with the idea to do a game based on Metallica, we call this a no brainer and said yes very quickly,” said Lars Ulrich, drummer for Metallica. “It seemed like the next step – a whole other platform for musicians to reach an audience. If we talk about this in five years, I think it will turn into an expected way to release music.”

“Guitar Hero is a great way for people to experience the music of a band. Not just Metallica, but many bands. It’s almost educational in that sense, where people can learn about groups that range from Santana to Lynyrd Skynyrd to Journey,” said bassist Robert Trujillo.

Interview: Reel Fishing: Angler’s Dream

Graham Markay, Project Manager (Natsume), was kind enough to take some questions from us on the yet-to-be-released Reel Fishing: Angler’s Dream.  Be sure to read the full interview to see how Reel Fishing: Angler’s Dream plans to be the most fun and realistic fishing game yet. 

1. How exactly are the Wii Remote and Nunchuk used for gameplay?

Players can play Reel Fishing: Angler’s Dream using the Wii Remote as the
rod and the Nunchuk as the reel.  Depending on the player’s preferences,
it is also possible to just use the Wii Remote as the rod and use the
buttons for reeling in.  By moving the Wii Remote up, down, left and
right, the player can control the rod. We wanted to give the players the
most realistic gameplay experience, but allow the controls to be flexible
to fit with each player’s style of play.   The controls are done is such a
way that even a novice player can master them, but there’s a lot of nuance
there that offers depth and challenge for even the most hardcore fishing
fans.

2. Could you explain a little bit about the multiplayer aspect of the game?

Up to four players can play together on the same screen in Versus Mode.
There are a variety of different stages the players can compete in, with a
variety of salt and fresh water fish.  Matches are customizable so that it
can fit with any family’s style of play.
