Crazy-Awesome Games, New Wii Channel
Matt from IGN Wii posted some cool tidbits on his blog yesterday. He mentions some ‘crazy-awesome games’ in development for the Wii, and he says we would ‘flip out’ if we knew they existed. I don’t want to hype it up at all, but I bet he knows something we don’t. Here are the highlights from his post:
“There are some potentially crazy-awesome games coming down the pipeline for Wii, by the way. You guys have no idea. I know that’s vague — has to be, but I’ve seen some stuff that you simply have no idea even exists and frankly, if you did, you’d flip out.”
He went on to comment on upcoming announcements this next week:
“Next week should be fun. We’ve got some companies stopping by to show us some Wii games. We’ll be announcing a new project or two during the week. Nothing earth-shattering-major, so don’t hype yourselves up, but kind of neat all the same.”
And apparently EA has a new project in the works for Wii:
“By the way, EA never announced its new Wii project, did it? That must be forthcoming, too.”
His last Wii mention in the post is about GDC and what to expect from Nintendo:
“I drive back Sunday, pick up Bozon, and then the two of us make the five-hour trek to San Francisco for the Game Developers Conference. Miyamoto’s going to be there. Aonuma. Kondo. Suda 51. And a bunch of other Nintendo peeps and third party devs. I’m expecting the full launch of the Wii Game Demo Channel. I don’t know if that’s what it’s called, but it’s the original game equivalent to Virtual Console titles. These are new projects developed for Wii, but downloadable. Do I really need to go on? You know what I’m talking about. I also think Nintendo will go seriously aggressive — big, big, big — about supporting and encouraging third parties to go crazy making new “garage” style games for Wii. Let’s all keep our fingers crossed.”
Here’s hoping for the Game Demo Channel to come out! Can’t wait to see what happens at the Game Developers Conference, which is only 9 days away.
