Wii Bits for June 7, 2007
Posted by AndyG as Wii Bits at 1:02 PM EDT
I’ve got a review coming up for the X-Arcade Tankstick very soon, but I wanted to check out a couple more games using the setup. Namely Mortal Kombat Armageddon for the Wii and Soul Calibur II from the GameCube days. I don’t want to say too much at this point, but it’s been incredibly fun so far playing various Virtual Console titles with it. It’s a beast that’s for sure but more on that when I get the review done hopefully next week. I want to be sure and cover all of the bases with the product as there is quite a bit that it brings to the table.
About to head out to the airport to pick up a relative for the weekend, in the meantime, here’s some Wii Bits to chew on!
- Kotaku has a nice roundup of Tomb Raider Anniversary reviews culling together what people thought of the PC, PSP, and PS2 versions. Although there is no mention of the Wii version in these reviews, it is expected to be out before the years’ end and will hopefully offer improved graphics over what the PSP and PS2 can provide. So far, it’s looking to be a fun title at a great price ($30) that gets a bit back to the roots of the franchise instead of what it morphed into over the years.
- The guys at the NeoGAF forums have a post up showing off a few scans from this week’s Famitsu magazine. You can see a scan showing off a bass fishing game for the Wii along with a few upcoming DS games including DK Jungle Climber and Chibi Robo DS.
- Being a fan of rail shooters, Ghost Squad is one of the titles coming to the Wii that I’m looking forward to and IGN has an interveiw up with the producer where they discuss the game and what went into creating it. Featuring over 20 weapons, gaining experience and in turn leveling your character, various routes you can take and more, Ghost Squad is sounding better and better everyday.
- Just in case there was any question about censoring the US version of Resident Evil 4 for the Wii, Desrtructoid has the answer and it’s good news. According to Capcom themselves, outside of Japan, the game will not be censored at all and will remain true to the GameCube levels of guts and gore. Fantastic!
- And lastly, check out this Japanese trailer for Victorious Boxers (aka Hajime no Ippo) which appears to be a bit more in depth than Wii Sports Boxing and Punch Out:
Ok, more news to come throughout the day once we get back from picking up the father-in-law, till then, have you beat Zelda II from the VC? I doubt it, get back to playing!
