Always wondered what it would be like to work in a Nintendo office? Well this is not the video for you, but it is a good laugh.
Q: How will Defend Your Castle on WiiWare differ from the PC version? How would you convince someone sitting on the wall to buy this as opposed to playing the free Flash version?
Skye Boyes: By taking the game back to the drawing board, we were able to improve upon the original design as well as leverage the unique capabilities of the Nintendo Wii. A new unit type, 4 player cooperative multiplayer, more massive waves of invaders, and significant changes ‘under the hood’ to enhance and extend gameplay are just a few of the improvements over the original. Developing for the Nintendo Wii also allowed us to spawn more massive waves of invaders in later stages and include enhancements such as lighting and particle effects.
Q: Defend Your Castle was always a fantastic pick-up-and-play game whenever boredom gnawed away at the mind, is this still the case or will there be more incentives for replayability?
Skye Boyes: Defend your Castle is still a fantastic cure for brief spouts of boredom and will really appeal to new and old casual players. However, game play has been significantly extended, and Heroic mode presents considerable challenging for even the most hardcore players. Multiple difficulty modes, multiple save slots and, of course, multiplayer, add substantial replay value.

Every weekend it seems like someone gets their hands on that Monday’s VC press release before it even comes out. I have stayed away from it for the reason that we have never seen an actual press release, just a mention of the games that are coming out. With no VC releases this week, because the launch of WiiWare, Nintendo has released a press release to announce the six games that are coming out. From here on out we can probably expect a VC/Wiiware press release announcment every Monday.
REDMOND, Wash., May 12, 2008 – Nintendo’s Wii™ console has already changed the way people play games. Now its new WiiWare™ service decisively tears down limitations for how developers create games – and the way people receive them.
Starting today, Wii owners with an Internet connection can download new, creative games from a wide range of developers, from large publishers to indie shops. By reducing the barriers that make console game development prohibitively expensive, WiiWare showcases original ideas in the most democratic environment in industry history, connecting the people who make games more directly with the people who play them.
WiiWare frees developers from the traditional constraints of video game development. WiiWare lets developers experiment with big ideas and small budgets to the benefit of players everywhere. Newer, smaller teams now have an outlet for their creative ideas. The constantly growing WiiWare library will have a regular flow of unique video gaming experiences consumers might not otherwise have access to.
“WiiWare is to the video game industry what independent films are to Hollywood,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “WiiWare lets developers experiment with new ideas and experiences. Combined with our collection of classic Virtual Console games, Wii provides one-stop shopping for the greatest games of the past – and the future.”
