The games listed below are coming to WiiWare between April – July 2009, starting from 200 Nintendo Points:
BONSAI BARBER (FROM NINTENDO)
The village residents are hungry for the latest in foliage fashion and it’s up to you – the new barber – to fix them up. Use the tools of your trade: scissors, clippers, spray can and more in this humorous, first-of-its-kind “first-person-groomer” game.CAVE STORY (FROM NICALIS)
Cave Story is an action-adventure game overflowing with unmatched charm and character. Cave Story takes you into a unique world where a curious race of innocent rabbit-like creatures, called Mimigas, run free. Your task is to learn the origins of this world’s power and stop a delusional villain to save the Mimiga!COLORZ (FROM EXKEE)
ColorZ is an original action/puzzle game that takes place in an alternate reality full of round and colourful elements. A terrible event disturbs the citizens; a new virus has polluted the universe and created thousands of microbes. You must drive your UFO friends through the microbes – absorbing them and cleaning all the different planets as you go.
Rockstar was kind enough to send me a review copy of Grand Theft Auto: China Town Wars, and you as the reader have been kind enough to wait for my review, so here it is.
Story:
I wanted to start out talking about the story, because in all honesty this is the weakest part of the game. It’s your typical GTA story line. A young man from China named Huang Lee, a member of the Chinese Triad is sent to Liberty City to deliver his family sword to his uncle after his father’s death. As he arrives, Huang is shot and left for dead at the bottom of the river. The story takes the normal GTA spin while you help Huang rise from the bottom of the crime ring to the top anyway possible.
Gameplay:
One of the first things I would like to point out, is a new feature that has never been in a GTA game before, the fact that the game can be saved anywhere, when a mission is not in progress. Earlier GTA’s you had to find your way back to your safe house, which sometimes took some time, depending on how much you cared about purchasing safe houses. We were told during our hands on time with China Town Wars at Comic Con, that this was done because the DS is a “on the move system.” Most people are not going to have time to sit down and play hours after hours of GTA on their DS. People are more for playing their DS on the way to school work or on a quick break.
LOS ANGELES (April 6, 2009) — Global videogame publisher, 505 Games, together with Zorro Productions, Inc. announced today The Destiny of Zorro, a new action-adventure videogame for the Nintendo Wii™, featuring the legendary swordsman and defender of the people – Zorro!
