Yuji Naka teases 2 more projects

by


Yuji Naka is on a ‘promotion’ streak for the U.S. release of Ivy the Kiwi? In the recent Nintendo Power magazine, Yuji hints at what to expect in the future from Prope.

“We’re currently developing an action game that has yet another new and unique control scheme, and another project that lets you experience a fun real-world activity within a game.” – Yuji Naka

With Playstation Move and Project Natal around the corner, it should be interesting to see what platform either of the projects is for.

Ivy the Kiwi box art

by

I still refuse to put that damn question mark in the title, it just looks weird. Maybe I just hate questions? Well, if I did I just screwed it up by asking a question.

Regardless, above is the new box art for the domestic (if you live in America) version of Ivy the Kiwi? (even added the question mark) on the Nintendo DS. Hit the jump for the Wii version. Enjoy. Check out the game’s facebook page for more photos.

Official: XSEED bringing Ivy the Kiwi to America

by


We ran it as a rumor a few days ago that XSEED Games was going to be publishing Ivy the Kiwi and now they have officially confirmed it. They will be publishing the Nintendo DS and Wii version in North America.  Look for it on store shelves this summer.

Also seems that the title is Ivy the Kiwki? with the question mark. I did not post it like that because it would just confuse readers. The game was develope by Yuji Naka’s Prope, that brought us Let’s Tap and Let’s Catch.

You can hit the jump and see the press release…

Rumor: XSEED to bring Ivy The Kiwi to America?

by


XSEED seems to be on a role, bringing cult games over to America. They just released Lunar: Silver Star Harmony on the PSP and are already teasing their next project via Twitter. I have to admit, sounding like it can be Ivy The Kiwi.

“XSEED is poised to announce one of our hidden titles next week. It’s sure to be a feather in our cap…”

Not good enough? How about we add another tweet…

“For those guessing certain titles as our mystery announcement, you don’t really think we’d keep all our eggs in one basket, do you? ^_-”

Their third hint says it will be revealed via Nintendo Power magazine. If that was not enough, their facebook is hinting birds as well. It could most likely be Ivy in the Kiwi, XSEED has published Namco-Bandai games before and this is by Yuji Naka, enough to make a cover story. We shall keep you posted.

GunBlade NY/LA MachineGun Announced for Wii

by

“Two SEGA arcade stalwarts are coming to Nintendo Wii, break out the zapper – its time to dispense some airborne justice!”
-SEGA

Two of the finest on rail shooters of all time, just oozing with that quirky ‘blue sky’ charm Segas arcade divisions does so well. And they are coming to Wii!

It’ll be interesting to see how well this sells, To me this looks fantastic but to the average Wii owner this may just looks like an on rail shooter with ‘poor graphics’.

Time will tell, but I can’t help but feel this would be best suited on XBLA/PSN.

[Thanks Storm!]

Gunblade NY & LA Machineguns coming to Wii?

by


If you don’t know what LA Machineguns and Gunblade NY are, shame on you. They are light gun arcade games by SEGA and according to ESRB, SEGA is planning on bringing them in a collection, much like House of the Dead 2&3 Returns.

from ESRB website:

“This is an arcade-style first-person shooter in which players engage in missions to protect sections of New York and Los Angeles from enemy forces. Players aim targeting crosshairs on dozens of attacking soldiers, robots, missiles, and vehicles that explode when destroyed. Constant gunfire and explosions highlight the frenetic action; zoomed-in camera angles depict multiple projectiles striking the humanoid terrorist enemies.”

The compliation pack is suppose to be called “Gunblade NY & LA Machineguns Arcade Hits Pack” and exclusive as of now, for the Nintendo Wii. How about some Virtua Cop love next time?

(Note: I know we are late to post this, don’t whine at us)

Sega Australia reveals ‘Welcome to Violence’

by

One year after the excellent ‘Bang Bang Box’ edition of The House of the Dead: Overkill, the good people at Sega Australia have revealed another excellent bundle for the Wii. ‘Welcome to Violence’ contains the games Madworld, The House of the Dead: Overkill and The Conduit. All three games have recieved a warm reception from critics and will satisfy any Wii owner suffering from a bit of the old bloodlust. It all comes presented in a nifty Drive in Cinema/Grindhouse case too!

The price for the compilation is only AUD $109.95, a very nice price considering that major retailers are selling the individual games for between $50 and $80 each! If you don’t have these games yet, now is a great time to check them out!

Mario & Sonic at the Winter Games breaks over 6 million

by

The last time we left Mario & Sonic at the Winter Olympic Games, SEGA confirmed they had shipped 5.67 million by the end of December. Well it seems that another milestone has been reached with SEGA announcing the title making it past the 6 million mark. It probably comes as no surprise then considering not only the popularity of both characters but also due to the fact that minigame collections are all round big sellers on the Wii.

At any rate, it seems like the sequel will manage to get to the lofty heights of over 10 million that the original reached.

Sonic the Hedgehog 4 video leaks

by

Well there you go! A leaked off screen video of ‘Sonic the Hedgehog 4’. You can clearly see four levels, Splash Hill Zone, Lost Labyrinth Zone, Casino Street Zone, Mad Gear Zone not to mention a special stage. Each seem to have three acts and a boss battle.

Four Zones with Three levels each and one boss means twelve levels in total, four bosses and a special stage. Although, I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a fifth final zone.  At the right price I think that’s a good amount of content for a downloadable game.

As for impressions,
