Wii Rally

Sonic and the Secret Rings came out on Tuesday and I still have received no word from Sega on the status of my copy. Must have gotten lost in the mail or something. Anyway I found this video from Wii.TV of the first nine minuets or so of the game.
The video takes you through the intro video the tutorial stage and the first mission.

Still looks bad ass to me. From the control explanation you can kind of get a sense of how the game is played. My only gripe thus far is that annoying women’s voice. Kind of like Midina from the Zelda series only not as cute. Let hop something bad happens to her so you don’t have to listen to her through the entire game.

Sorry guys I’m a little busy today so here’s a treat from Ubisoft

Thanks Brill.

Here’s a little valentine from Kirby and VG Cats.

Thanks Jon.

My one standing Wii wish is that I have always wanted to cook with my Wii. Now don’t get me wrong I’m a fine cook in fact I do all the cooking at my house. My girlfriend tries very hard to contribute, but cooking with gas kind of scares her nevertheless I learned from two fine culinary masters my Nana and my Mom. I still find it hard to eat other people’s cooking to this day. Thanks for giving me a snobby pallet mom. So when Cooking Mama debuted on the Nintendo DS I cheered thinking it was only a matter of time before I’d be making Lobster bisk and risotto using my WiiMote. Look no further Cooking Mama: Cook Off is coming to the Wii actually it has been for awhile I’ve just never mentioned it until now, mostly due to the lack of a hardcore release date. Right now the date stands at Q2 2007, lousy quarterly release dates gimme a number dammit.

The first video is quick trailer for the game with it’s cute little mascot named Mama and she’s gonna make a chef out of you.

It’s “Video Thursday” once again and this week I am featuring some new gameplay videos from Namco Bandai’s Tamagotchi: Party On! The kiddie coloured political sim.

The first video is an explanation of the political system on the Tamagotchi planet, where you are trying to become planetary President.

Going off of yesterday’s press release I decided to track down some video footage for the more interesting titles that should be hitting the Wii over next few months.

I had some trouble digging up the first video. Ubisoft Montreal is developing a TMNT game to coincide with the new CG film being released this year. TMNT will be released for all platforms, but even multi-platform ports tend to play different on the Wii. Most websites have this game hitting store shelves in early March but upon doing some searching I found no mention of the game on Ubisoft’s official website Hmm. The video shows some early gameplay footage combined with kind of a behind the screens look at the development, Enjoy.

Videos are available following the jump. (more…)

I hate Thursdays! I mean really hate them, way more than Garfield hates Mondays. Anybody can hate Mondays it’s so easy but it takes a special cookie to hate a day so close to the weekend. So in the interest of impartiality and not writing a scathing post on whatever issue in gaming is bugging me, I’m proud to introduce “Video Thursdays”. Every week I will try and find some of the best Wii videos on the net. I hope that will save you all from my coffee fueled “I’m in the worst mood possible” rants. Trust me on this one you do not want to see my ugly side.

My girlfriend Jen and I have been together for just over 3 years, that said me and video games have been together for about 15 years. Now there isn’t any competition between the two loves of my life but once in a while, I like to combine them and play games with my girlfriend. Sometimes that can be difficult. Jen never really left the 2D era of games she is waaaay better than me at Super Mario and can even hold her own with many of the other classics, Mega Man being one of her favorites. So it’s hard to find 3D games that she would enjoy, at least until I introduced her to “Mario Party”. She loved the simple gameplay of the mini-games and the game board mechanic, plus any game where she can play as Daisy puts a smile on her face.

According to IGN “Mario Party 8″ is due to hit stores sometime in March with more mini-games than you can shake a WiiMote at. So I’ve compiled a series of videos showcasing the gameplay of probably on of the best multiplayer games that will hit the Wii this year, enjoy.
