The top 10 Wii games to sell!

December 10, 2006 · 1 Comment

Destructroid has conceeved a list of the highest-potential-to-sell Wii games.

Not much is known about Day of Crisis. Save for a trailer shown at E3 2006, we have no idea what to expect from the game, what genre it will be, what kind of gameplay it involves, or anything of the sort. What we do know is that the game centers around a man by the name of Ray, who is on the run from mother nature herself. Amidst the erupting volcanos, tsunamis, tremors, and falling buildings is a corrupt Special Forces unit, trying to seize a nuclear weapon, and in addition to keeping himself alive, he has to stop them.

Judging from what was shown of the game at Nintendo World, it seems players will control Ray from a third-person perspective, while trudging through unfriendly elements of nature. The video above compiles all footage seen so far from E3 and Nintendo World. I have to admit, some of those visuals (like the huge tidal wave approaching the city) look amazing. Nintendo’s been talking about the physics and the visuals of the game for a long time now, and assure us that both will be stunning. The hype: Day of Crisis will show us what developers can come up with when they push the Wii’s hardware to its limits.

The list!

Stop denying it, you want to put these on top of your Wii!

 

 

 

They’re out on the 15th and they’re only in Europe, until I go over there and load them all into a boat. I will drive that boat every night, all night for 4 days and wide-spread them for $60 each!

Wii need to help these people!

December 10, 2006 · 1 Comment

This is diluted logic at it’s best!

Has Christmas become too competitive? From tagging Christmas trees at farms just after Halloween to lines of gamers camped out all night for the latest hardware, we add another dimension to the work-hard, play-hard lifestyle. Now we celebrate religious/commercial holidays hard. Are retailers responsible?

The manufacturers of video-game consoles and the retailers who “sell” them have apparently figured out what Santa Claus has apparently missed: scarcity breeds obeisance.

Today crowds of frustrated parents prowl the big-box stores having awakened before dawn to slurp coffee and peruse the glossy store advertisements stuffed in the morning paper. There they meet teenage clerks who shrug and say stuff like, “Yeah, we had 16 of them this morning, and they went like that.” The clerks snap their fingers and wink for effect, inside their red or blue vests, nametags askew.
