Loot Ninja recently had the opportunity to discuss the upcoming 2K Sports title, MLB Power Pros 2008 with Robert Nelson the Producer of the game.
Power Pros is developed by 2K Sports and released on PS2 and Wii for the second year in a row in North America, but for the first time on Nintendo DS. MLB Power Pros uses MLB licenses for all stadiums and players and is a huge success in Japan.
Rob Nelson calls it “Blend of sim baseball, but has a look and design acceptable to new players.” Power Pros 2008 tries hard to be mixed for casual and hardcore gamers so that no one is left out. Read More »
Here is the VMoteGirls trailer. Words can not describe this or do it justice, all I can say is that it is a sex game based off of using a Wii remote, Nintendo should be proud.
How do you work on the development of something like this and what kind of office does this have to be? I can only hope that this is some kind of twisted joke.
Reggie Fils-Aime has been getting grilled as of late on the growing issue of the lack of storage space on the Wii. As they release more and more content, our memory space is getting shorter and shorter. Here is a excerpt from a recent interview he gave on said subject.
We have said publicly that we’re looking hard at the storage situation, that we’re working on a range of solutions. We have nothing to announce now. But certainly it’s an issue we are aware of and we’re working to find a solution and we will.
Nothing to announce? That sounds about right. Just keep releasing new WiiWare and Virtual Console games that we cannot buy because our minute sized memory is already at capacity. You just let us know.
We have all heard by now that Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop is coming over to your Wii and I was one that thought so what. Dead Rising was a great game on the Xbox 360, but I played that over a year ago and have almost forgotten completely about it. Looks like the Wii version will not be a port but instead a brand new game that is being designed for the Wii. This could be good in that the incorporation of motion controls could make the game interesting again, but can also hurt the game as well, the Wii graphically and from a processing standpoint just cant do the same things as the 360. We will probably get the same story with a lot less enemies and some quirky control scheme, I would just grab the 360 version instead, you can probably grab a used copy for $25.
Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop includes the following features:
• Utilizes the same engine as Resident Evil 4 Wii edition.
• New level of interaction – aim and fire guns, swing and throw weapons and shake off zombie attacks with added Wii Remote functionality
• Huge environment – expansive indoor and outdoor areas of the mall provide a variety of different locations to explore
• Improved save functionality allows for more seamless gameplay
• Hoards of enemies on screen at once resulting in non-stop, pulse-pounding action
• Anything in the mall is at Frank’s disposal
• Grab environmental objects like umbrellas and benches to use as improvised weapons
• Snatch items from different stores to use as weapons including golf clubs, lawnmowers, frying pans and more
• Consume food and drink to revive health
This was something that we thought would be showed at the Nintendo E3 press conference, but was overlooked, Mario Super Sluggers. I have to admit that I am not terribly interested in another Mario inspired sports title but if you watch the trailer there are some interesting elements like the teamwork home-run steal and the mini games. The mini games give the game a different angle instead of just an over the top baseball game, almost a Mario Party style game. Even with that being said I doubt this will be more than a rental for me especially if there is no online matches.
We get three new games in the Virtual Console this week. They all look, um, awesome. We get a Pirates themed WiiWare games which sounds like a children’s novel and two Genesis titles that you probably won’t buy either. Nevertheless, hit the jump for pricing and descriptions.
Now I know where Nintendo got their idea for Wii Music, they must have been reading through these shirts and thought this was a great idea, too but these shirts are a joke, kind of like their game. My personal favorites on this list of funnies are Beat Box Hero and Trombone Hero, if you add Rusty before the second one it is in even better.
Presenting the Nintendo iRavi, Rock Harder and even more Ravi. This guy has solidified himself as one of the worst things to happen during E3 and because of this is now one of the most parodied people at the time. Here are a couple of examples, something tells me we will see tons more Ravi videos and jokes, good times.
Looks like in the newest issue of Nintendo Power a new Sonic game is going to be revealed, at least that is what the cover story supposedly says. Looks like Sonic is coming to the Wii in Sonic & The Black Knight, a first look to be revealed in this months Nintendo Power.
I possibly call shenanigans on this one. Why would you give Sonic a sword? Sonic never had weapons, its like giving Mario a shotgun! Although the Wii motion sensing would make sense for sword swinging purposes I think choosing Sonic is a bad move. What do you think? Real or fake?
Everyone has been enjoying Guitar Hero on the Xbox 360, PS2, PS3, and even the Wii for quite some time now, but our friends over at Activision/Vicarious Visions decided that we, the gamer, needed to have Guitar Hero goodness on the go as well and developed Guitar Hero: On Tour. GH: On Tour brings you 26 tracks that you can now rock out on your Nintendo DS complete with multiplayer modes.
The hand grip is awkward at best and really needs some time to get used to, but fortunately is very easy to install into the Gameboy Advance slot. Unfortunately, I can only play about 3 songs at a time before my hand begins cramping up and getting uncomfortable. There is a Velcro strap on the hand grip to help hold it in place, but it does little to help. The game comes with a stylus guitar pick, which you use to strum on the right screen as the notes scroll down the left screen.
We're like Spaceballs... we're making Loot Ninja everything. Coming soon we'll have hats, shirts, hoodies, possibly banana hammocks if one Editor has his way...
