Nice, another scary game for the Wii, there’s not enough of those for my tastes. I also have a friend that deeply into horror/scary type stuff so this will be right up his alley also. Anyone else into the horror genre of gaming? Check out these shots from Fatal Frame IV:

There’s a few more shots over here at watch.impress.

Just in case the press release wasn’t enticing enough, here’s some screenshots from Urban Extreme: Street Rage showing off some hot split screen action, explosions, and general racing:

I’m a big fan of Gordon Ramsay and all of his shows including Hell’s Kitchen which is now coming to the Nintendo Wii complete with some recipes by the man himself. Here’s a couple of shots from the game thanks to BigFishGames.com:

Mario Super Sluggers Screenshots.. Say that 5 times fast. Ok, try 10 times then.

Here’s but one of the shots taken from a small assortment of them over at Wiiz.fr.

Looks like it will support Mii’s, which always rocks.

Here’s a scan of Mario Baseball I found over at GoNintendo.com which looks to bring the always fun Mario cast to the Wii for some good old fashioned baseball.

Click here for a bigger version. The game definitely makes use of the Wii remote and also offers some special moves like Mario’s fireball and Luigi’s tornado pitch. I also see a Chomp Chomp in one of the outfields and what appears to be a danged ice level.. I hate ice levels. >:(

It’s a rather slow news day - Smash Bros is rockin’, Wii Fit and Mario Kart are coming, and GamesPress had the following shots showing off a WiiWare title coming called Bang! Looks like something the wife might enjoy around these parts as she’s into Bejeweled type puzzle games.

In other news, I got my Wii back a bit ago but have been so busy I’ve barely turned it on other than to ensure it’s not sounding crazy anymore. I’ll get in there and find my SSBB code and trade it out with you guys so we can get some games going. It would be fun to perhaps video tape a match or two and post for everyone to see just how easy it would be to kick my butt in the game. Any takers?

Found this bit of info over at GoNintendo.com, check out the following screenshots NintendCast.com got their hands on. We have 3 of them posted below, visit the link to see 19 total.

They also studied the shots and came to the following conclusions:

- D.K’s snowboard Cross is a half pipe sort of track. You’ll be able to drive up the side of them and pull off awesome tricks in the air.

- Motor bike will be able to be used online.

Very cool stuff, I can’t wait to play some Mario Kart over the internet with some of you guys!

I’m a sucker for these wacky golfing games and TotallyWii has a slew of new screenshots from We Love Golf which features characters from some of Capcom’s greatest hits. Check the link for all of them, they must have around 1,000,000 of them up.

GamesPress has some new shots up taken from Destroy All Humans! Big Willy Unleashed showing off one of the characters you can take control of in-game as seen below:

I thought Destroy All Humans! was a fun game on the original XBOX back in the day and I’m sure the Wii version will feature the open world GTA-style gameplay the original had, giving players plenty of various missions and situations to enjoy. In case you haven’t seen it, here’s a bonus trailer for the game:

Jeuz-France has some new screenshots showing off Bully: Scholarship Edition coming for the Wii and it’s looking good. There appears to be a very Trauma Center-esque minigame going on in a couple of the screens, which may have been in the original game, I just never got around to playing it. Looks interesting!

We’ve got a press release and some screens taken from Ford’s Off-Road Racing and whew does it have lots of Ford stuff in it. I don’t have anything against Ford cars and trucks personally, but I’ve found the games featuring nothing but Ford cars a bit odd and almost too “advertisy” or maybe too niche for my tastes. Nothing but Fords? Hmmm..

Here’s the official press release concerning Wii Chess, coming from Nintendo as part of the Touch Generations lineup of games for the Nintendo Wii. There’s also a few screens of the game in action below the PR:

You can now test your Chess skills against the Wii, with the latest Touch Generations title from Wii. Wii chess is considered one of the most powerful chess computers. Wii chess uses loop express, a conversion of the loop chess engine which ranked 3rd in the 2007 World computer chess championship in Amsterdam.

To improve your Chess skills Wii chess allows you record, review and replay previous games. So you can hone your chess skills, ready to battle any opponent.

Wii chess comes with 10 difficulty levels from beginner to expert, and when you have finished going up against the Wii you can challenge players across Europe online, using the Nintendo WiFi connections from the comfort of your own home.

More screens available here at Wiiz.fr.

The guys and gals over at the NeoGAF forums have been discussing Endless Ocean and they’ve posted a few screens up of some interesting finds. Check out the shots I grabbed below from there as well as a video showing off plenty of situations from the game and even a scan from my most recent issue of Game Informer where they give the game a 6.0. They also gave Jenga a 2.0 in this issue so I’m sure they know what they are talking about but I’m still going to be picking up Endless Ocean myself. So relaxing looking!
