^ Me too, but... since sonic is such a major turn-on, more people will buy the game if they know he's in So it would make sense if they'd announce him before release.

That may be true, but it doesn't make a difference.

I'm thinking you don't know how large the Sonic fanbase still is. Do you realize how many Sonic fanboys would buy this game just for the fact that Sonic is in it?

I'm a huge Sonic fan myself, but I'd get over it soon enough if we learned he wasn't in Brawl. For starters, I have a hard time seeing him as that kind of a fighter. I've been surprised plenty of times though (Bowser in showing up in Melee was one), so I'll take whatever the Big N dishes out.

NEW GAMES

Guilty Gear XX Accent Core
For the Wii, 1-2 (I’m guessing) players
For a very big name, this game looks a little mediocre to me. It’s a 2D fighting game, and to me it sorta looks like Gamecube version. I dunno.
Anyway, if you want to, look forward to it in 10 days (September 11th).
Guilty Gear XX Accent Core for WII - Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Wii - Guilty Gear XX Accent Core WII Game

Worms: A Space Oddity
For the Wii
Now, this seems a little weird to me, but here I go.
*ahem* Worms is a great tactical game where you aim and shoot to hit the enemy worms, with a variety of different ammo and effects. The difference this particular game will have is that it happens on a few different PLANETS. Weird, huh? Anyway, expect it in ’08.

Halo 3
For the XBOX 360, 1-4 players
Another ‘If you have a pulse, YOU NEED IT game. Halo is often viewed as the first person shooter that really kicked it off on the XBOX. Good times, good times. Anyway, it’s coming out on September 25th, and since I’ve put it in an exclusively Nintendo series, it’s gotta be good.
Halo 3 for Xbox 360 - Halo 3 Xbox360 Game - Halo 3 Xbox 360 Video Game

Math Play
For the DS
Apparently a card-math game. Interesting. I don’t have a lot to say.
Due September.
Math Play for DS - Math Play Nintendo DS - Math Play DS Game

Garfield’s Nightmare
For the DS
All I can say is that I think it’s often hard to transform comic into movies or video games. Garfield is an example of that struggle.
I think this is the first venture of Garfield into 2D-ness, so wait and see.
Oh yeah, this is apparently about a nightmare he’s having due to bad lasagna or something. September 4th.

OUT NOW

Metroid 3
Yay, M. 3 is out!
It’s really fun, and I think you should totally get it. Worth it.
Also, I heard tell of it being, like, the ‘last one’ or something. I sure hope not.
Given 8.5 by Gamespot
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption for WII - Metroid Prime 3: Corruption Wii - Metroid Prime 3: Corruption WII Game

Tiger Woods PGA Tour ‘08
For… well, practically EVERYTHING, 1-4 players
Tiger Woods is a golfing series that goes WAY back. Anyway, I don’t like the games, and Gamespot gave it a 7, saying that it’s not really different than the last one. Go figure.
GameSpot:Video Games PC Xbox 360 PS3 Wii PSP DS PS2 PlayStation 2 GameCube GBA PlayStation 3

Turn It Around
For the DS, 1-2 players
Turn It Around is, I quote (from Gamespot), “A collection of minigames based on rotating discs on the touch screen.”
Now, that seems a little odd to me. The ‘rotating disks’ part, not the ‘minigames’ part. Hey, maybe it works and people love it. Dunno.
Turn It Around for DS - Turn It Around Nintendo DS - Turn It Around DS Game

Professional Fisherman’s Tour: Northern Hemisphere
For the DS, probably 1-4 players
Whew, and if you thought Guilty Gear’s name was long. Pro Fisherman’s tour is a game in which you compete with your friends on who can catch the biggest fish, or just try for a high record against yourself. I hope the touch screen is integrated fully into this, ‘cuz that would make it way more fun.
Professional Fisherman's Tour: Northern Hemisphere for DS - Professional Fisherman's Tour: Northern Hemisphere Nintendo DS - Professional Fisherman's Tour: Northern Hemisphere DS Game

I Spy Funhouse
For the DS
A sequel to the ever-popular book and sometimes video game series where the world is made just so you can have lots of fun finding random stuff.
I had previously thought the video game part of this series was lost in the ever-shifting sands of VGWorld, but I guess not. I think this will be a lot of fun to do, and a welcome relief from the ‘Kill the boss, win’ kind of mindset. I enjoyed these sort of things as a child.

Is The Wii Expanding the Market?
Some have argued that the Wii is just another console that’s no different from the rest. I, for one, believe differently.
For example, just look at how many grandparents are picking it up, if only for the sports or fitness. So definitely expanding there.


Metroid 3 –this one sort of doesn’t fit in here
There’s been some rivalry between BIOSHOCK and Metroid Prime 3 on which is the better first person shooter. The rivalry could be nailed down to one point on the controllers: Aim. Mainly it’s the person’s choice on which to do, but if you’re having troubles, check this.

Wii Controller:

The good = Easier & faster to aim. Now you don’t need 2 thumbsticks. The bad = Pointer almost always wavers. Hard to keep it steady.

XBOX Controller:

The good = More correct and steady pointer. The bad = 2 thumbsticks, slower sometimes

Now, it seems to me like this problem is mostly solved using a computer. You have the mouse, so faster and more steady aiming, however different it might be. However, if you’re like me, you’re going to have to fork over the cash to get your computer less limited. Oh well, no one said being a gamer was easy.


NEW GAMES

Nothing, sadly.

OUT NOW

Pool Party
For the Wii, 1-2 players
This is a HUGE compilation of Pool games. Different versions of hitting a ball with a long stick to make it hit another ball. I dunno.
Anyway, this would be way fun if it integrated the Wiimote well, but I have a feeling it doesn't.
6.8 by Gamespot.
Pool Party for WII - Pool Party Wii - Pool Party WII Game


Worms: Open Warfare
For the DS, 1-4 players
This is another game based on the franchise of the old aim-your-weapon, shoot-your-opponent games. Could be fun, I have yet to see how the DS uses it.
8.1-ish by Gamespot.
Worms: Open Warfare 2 for DS - Worms: Open Warfare 2 Nintendo DS - Worms: Open Warfare 2 DS Game


Garfield's Nightmare
I talked about this last time, and I said how it was sometimes hard for comics to turn to movies or video games, and it seems it was pulled off pretty badly. Garfield is not known for its versatility. Given a 6.8 by Gamespot.
Garfield's Nightmare for DS - Garfield's Nightmare Nintendo DS - Garfield's Nightmare DS Game

<Insert Witty Dialogue Here>
First of all, let me thank demothenes for providing me with info, courtesy of Game Informer magazine. Without that, you would be reading a very dry episode right now. ‘Happy’ 9/11, folks. Onwards!

NEW GAMES

Mario Kart Wii
1- (can it be?) 12 players, for the Wii
Ah, Mario Kart. The series we’ve all been waiting for in the Nintendo Racing world.
What is it, you ask? Why, simply a game where you race around the track, collect power ups and through ridiculously large
turtle shells at your opponents. One feature wii’ll have to hope for is the 12 players option. Rumored, and hopefully true.
The game will also feature online play and the use of the sideways Wiimote, and will come with a snap-on wheel for it.
Due for Q1* 2008.
*I think this means the first quarter, like the first 3 months or something.

Trauma Center: First Blood
1-2 players
The popular series where you slice, dice, mince and cut stars in people is back! By which, I mean heal people. All for science.
This time it will have 2 player co-op play and full voice dialogue. All I can say is that I’ve liked these games in the past, and they’re really innovative with the Wiimote. Also has a great storyline. Due for November 20th.

Mario Galaxy
For the Wii, 1-2 players
Ol’ Shigeru Miyamoto is at it again, with a new Mario game in production. Ah, plumbers… pixels… DK throwing barrels… Good times, good times.
Anyway, this looks freakin’ awesome, if I do say so myself. The graphics are amazing, the places are amazing… Literally WORLDS of goodness out there (really. GALAXY. Duh). Apparently there are mini worlds you can explore, hopping / blasting from one to another. For those tired of the cliché, I am sorry to say that, yes, Princess Peach is captured, and yes, Bowser has at least some part in it. Oh well, the more things change, the more they stay the same. 14th most anticipated for Wii on Gamespot. Due for November 12, can’t wait!

De Blob
For the Wii, 1-4 players
Very, very… odd. As the name suggests, you are a blob. Basically, you travel through streets and alleys alike as you return color to the drained Chroma City’s color. Wow. Not much I can say. Due for Q1 ’08 (see above).

Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
For the DS, 1-2 players
Continuing their looked-upon-with-scorn Windwaker game comes the sequel… on the DS. I personally think that this will be an awesome game, with great graphics etc. I can’t wait to see how they incorporate the touch screen! Anyway, try not to look on this series with too much distaste. It was an interesting venture into cel-shading, and still is. I do think the 2 player option won’t amount to much though; Zelda has always been 1 player only*.
Due for October 1st, get it!
*with exceptions.

Rayman: Raving Rabbids 2
1-(something large) players, for the Wii
The Rabbids (and Rayman) are back in the sequel to their interesting game of last year! It will feature many, many minigames and polished multiplayer play. If you liked the Rabbids, you’ll like ‘em when they’re ravin’. Really a party game, so bust it out when there’s boredom in da house!
Due for the day after a year from its prequel’s date. Spooky.

SoulCalibur Legends
The popular slash-hack-dice-slam-crush and more is back, with you again saving an empire! Though it’s supposed to release in Q4 ’07, hey haven’t put out a whole lot of info. Anyway, this game could incorporate the Wiimote really nicely, or it could be a horrible port of Soulcalibur. Their call.

Sid Meier’s Civilization Revolution
For the DS, probably 1 player
Ah, turn based strategy. So much fun. Anyhoo, I think this may be good. Hard to tell, but I can hope. As usual, it’ll depend a lot upon how they use the touch screen. We can only wait. Due for Q2 ’08.

The Simpsons Game
For practically EVERYTHING
The Simpsons Game, no doubt inspired by the Simpsons Movie. They each have special powers, and now they have to save the world. I’m sure the game is full of little twists, turns and funny bits, as usual. I think this could be quite enjoyable, unless they completely butcher the Wii controls, which I’m afraid they may do. Sigh. Due Q4 ‘07

Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Ah, SSBB. If you’ve been watching this series for a while, you’ll know that I like to rave about it. Since I’ve already raved so much, I’ll let that pass for now. All I really have to say is that all the videos I’ve seen of it look awesome. I think they could ship it out now, but HEY! This is Nintendo, yo!
Anyway, it’s now been change to Dec 3rd.

OUT NOW

Jam Session
For the DS, 1 player
This looks really good to me. You’re basically a Guitarist on your DS, using the touch screen as your virtual strings. I think that, if this actually is how it sounds, it will rock, but otherwise it’ll be just okay. Released today, 9/11.

Drawn to Life
For the DS, 1 player
This looks pretty awesome. It has a very comprehensive level and adventure system, and get this: you draw your own character (hence the name)!
All of you budding artists with just the right design in your head, take note! I think this will ROCK! Just a feeling. Call it my gamersense.
Released yesterday, 9/10.

TALK

Slim PSP
The Slim PSP will be released sometime in September. It’s basically a scaled down, lighter version of the normal PSP. Comes in black, white or silver.

iPhone NES Emulator
Ah, yet another reason to get an iPhone. Now it will be capable (with the emulator) to play old NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) games from back in the day. Ah, good times, good times.

God bless them, one and all.

Slim PSP
The Slim PSP will be released sometime in September. It’s basically a scaled down, lighter version of the normal PSP. Comes in black, white or silver.

You forgot to mention the Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron special edition Slim PSP.

Ah. That too. Thank you.

Welcome! I am so happy right now I just can't wait to get started!
W007!


NEW GAMES


First off,
Star Wars: the Force Unleashed!!!
For the Wii, incredibly 2 PLAYERS!
Yes, one and all, it IS true. STAR WARS is coming to the Wii! It will include using the Wiimote as your lightsaber and your nunchuk as your force powers. Now you can indulge your childhood fantasies of swinging around a lightsaber! I know I still have mine. Also, first ever 2 PLAYER MULTIPLAYER!!! This will be a battle royale to the death that I can't wait to start! This is one of the reasons I've been sadder than I have to be, but now I'm euphorically happy!!! Anyway, I'm far too happy to have time to laugh in all the XBOX and PS3 owners faces!! HAHA to you, DEMOTHENES!!1 No offense or anything.
Due for Q2 '08, I can't wait.

Medal of Honor: Heroes 2
For the Wii, 32 Players!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, another awesome thingie! For those of you that don't know, Medal of Honor is about WWII historic battles. This will be freakin' awesome with the 32 player online capabilities. I like the looks of this game, and I might even get it if there wasn't already 528438 other games coming out. It will support use of the Wii Zapper; see below. Due Nov. 13th.

Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Fuuketsu no Grimoire
For the DS
Covered because of popular demand, here is FFTA2: FnG. Wow, even the abbreviation is long. Anyway, this is another spawn-off to the popular series; Final Fantasy. There must be, what, 32 different games?! Anyway, rant over. This looks like a lot of fun, due to the utilization of the touch screen. I mean, it could be bad, but I don't think it will be. Anyway, due Oct. 25th.

Star Trek: Conquest
For the Wii
[sarcasm]Ah, a game made from a popular movie franchise. good thing you don't see too much of that. [/sarcasm]
Anyhow, this might be fun, might not. Can't really tell; my gamersense is dormant. It does have a lot of versatility, though.
Due Nov. 13th.


OUT NOW


My Sims
For the DS and Wii, 1 player
This is a spin off of the popular Sims games,where you get to create a character and design EVERYTHING, then sit back and direct your Sims to a happy life. I sound like a freakin' commercial. Anyway, I think this is more fun for the DS, given the gameplay and all. I've heard it's a good family game, but not really socially fleshed-out. Anyhoo, given a 6.5 by Gamespot.

Sonic Rush Adventure
For the DS (while it has come out, I have no idea how many players it's supposed to have)
A game appealing to all the followers of the once-mega-popular Sonic franchise. Wouldn't YOU want to be a blue hedgehog running at maniacal speeds and collecting rings? Whatev, kind of means if you like it, you do and if you don't you don't. An either/or thing. Given an 8 by Gamespot.


Mercury Meltdown Revolution
For the Wii (see above)
From the PSP, coming to the Wii. Don't know about any of you, but this looks highly addictive to me. You roll a marble-ish thing around mazes... = addictive. Rule of thumb, I guess. It also looks really polished and could be really fun if they use the Wiimote well. Kind of a toss-up.
Given an 8.5 by Gamespot.


TALK


Wii Zapper
As some of you might have seen, Nintendo has made some products to enhance he feel of a game. For instance, a tennis add-on, golf, etc. They're just pieces of plastic that make it look more real. However, the Zapper is a gun add-on, holding the Wiimote and Nunchuk, making it look AND feel a lot more realistic. It costs $20, and it comes with 'Link's Crossbow Training', a game where you play as Link and shoot enemies with the Zapper. Some of us impulsive Link fans may feel the need to buy it, but I'm not ready to give up my hard-earned dollars.

Ugh. Sorry, everyone, I just haven't been feeling up to doing this... Sorry. Anyway, here it is!

NEW GAMES

Super Smash Bros.
For the Wii, 1-4 players
Wow, this is kind of insane. I've brought this game up, what, 5 times now? Anyway, it now features (Drum roll) ONLINE PLAY! Whie waiting for it to load, you can enjoy beating up a poor defenseless creature called sandbag, and you can have messages keyed to different buttons!YAY!
For those who haven't got it beaten in to them yet, comes out December 3rd.

MLB PowerPros
For the Wii, 1 player
This game looks fun and cutesy. It's a baseball game, with you as a character with no facial charictaristics, except for eyes. It looks fun and cutesy, as I said before, and I think it's more geared towards children. Comes out TOMORROW!

OUT NOW

Halo 3
For the XBOX 360, 1-4 players
Where to start, where to start...
IT ROCKS.
It just does. It is all it was meant to be and more, the storyline rocks, the ideas rock, the gameplay, multiplayer, weapons, ROCKINGNESS... ROCKS. It just does. If you have a 360, you should buy this or shoot yourself. Your call.

DDR Hottest Party
For the Wii, 1-4 Players
Dance Dance Revolution is back! The popular game that you dance in time to the music now has a new feature: Wiimote involvement. In addition to stomping on the beat, you'll now have to position your fist(s) in exactly the right way while breaking the floor! Sounds like fun, doesn't it? DOESN'T IT???

Balls of Fury
For the Wii and DS, probably 2 players
Okay, before we even go there, it's a ping pong game. not whatever the heck you thought it was. Anyway, it seems sorta fun to me, though my gamersense says it'll just be a stupid port. Who knows.

NinjaBread Man
For the Wii and other systems, 1 player
Now this looks like hilarious fun to me. Basically you're a ninja ginga' bread man and you need to defeat the evils taking over candyland. I think that this is going to be awesome. I like the looks of it lots. Yep. One thing I do have to say is that I think it will just be a port. Sigh.

Dragon Blade, Wrath of Fire
For the Wii, 1 player
Well, this is a little old, so I'm only going to take a little time on it. I think it probably rocks, it's only for the Wii, it's made by a good developer, it has a great story, etc. Given a 7.8 by Gamespot.

In Other News:

Nintendo gives Wiimote covers
Nintendo is giving out plastic Wiimote covers to all Wii owners, as much as 4 per person.
Oh, did I mention? THEY"RE FREE. This is all to cover more the problem of letting go and it hitting something, but this little venture is going to cost them over 12 MILLION DOLLARS. Can you imagine?
That's so nice it makes me feel mushy inside.

Halo Three so un-shake-a-stick-at-able it's not funny
Halo 3 has jumped so far ahead of the competition that it's becoming hard to pick our jaws up. These are the top selling games in America.
Halo 3 2,634,108
Wii Sports 98,173
Wii Play 53,189

It also catapulted XBOX 360 sales way up, but thankfully Wii is still leading.
