Force Unleash Wii - 1v1 Video, bleah!

July 3, 2008


OMGOMGOMG, after watching this traumatising video, I dunno which one looks more stupid: that 2 buggers in the video running like Forest Gump, or the silly “mini-game” that seen the most exciting use of Wiimote ever.

Disappointing.

Guitar Hero Aerosmith bundle delayed

July 3, 2008

The game is released by Maxsoft, but the bundle with the Guitar is delayed. The ship must have hollanded. For those waiting for the bundle, it should be out by mid July.


Finally a Mario Party styled game

July 2, 2008

Finally, someone got the guts to make a Mario Party alike game. What is keeping the developers back? Didn’t Mario Party 8 sold 5 million copies? Took them so long to copy..

This game certainly look and sound very nice! Board game with RPG elements (sound like Richman monopoly also). The character classes have a Maple Story look in them. Mario Party + Maple Story = WIN!

To be released on 14th Oct 08.

Oh, the name of the game is Dokapon Kingdom.

Megaman 9, coming to Wiiware!

June 27, 2008

Bring it on!


Castlevania Wii - a 3D Versus Game… WAT?!

June 27, 2008

My eyes poped out, what the heck? Why did Konami chosed this path instead of what everyone was hoping for? Aren’t there enough 3D fighters already? Hmm…. I dont get it.

But its Konami, I’ll give them a chance, afterall, they made the MGS series.

Wii Party in the Heartlands - Event Coverage

June 23, 2008

Updated with more photos and videos!

The event started in the morning 845am. With some warm ups, the kids need no further invitation to join in the Mario Kart challenge. We even had to switch the format to 2 tracks instead of 3 to speed up. Some GameFrontz regulars soon came along and bullied everyone. As you would see below, bernier and best_lame are the culprits, as they each took the first prize of Mario Kart and Bowling respectively. Next time we would need to separate the pros and the beginners hehe..

It turns out that Wii Fit is extremely popular with the crowd too, especially with girls. Even without prior Wii experience, most of the games could be picked up immediately. Kolslorr is now an expert fitness trainer!

Rock Band? No! its Ultimate Band for Wii!

June 23, 2008

erm…. its by Disney, by the way, Hannah Montana anyone?

And it looks and plays like the Raving Rabbids music mini-game, yes, a mini-game, and they are trying to sell as a full title? CRAP.

Also, it doesnt seems like it supports multiplayer, and forget about any WFC connection i guess.

I guess this will be the last time we see this game reported here.


WFC got hope, Guitar Hero World Tour to save/play tracks directly from SD

June 23, 2008

So says Vicarious Visions CEO Karthik Bala.

If this turns out to be true, we can expect good things for the Wii in the later part of 2008.

3 more weeks to E3.
