Star Wars video game bridges gap between films

Wii News from N4G | Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

Wii - Star Wars: The Force Unleashed - Star Wars video game bridges gap between films

Consider it "Star Wars III and a Half" - complete with a pivotal plot twist. When LucasArts releases "Star Wars: The Force Unleashed" on Sept. 16, the video game will serve as George Lucas' official median between 2005's "Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith" and 1977's "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope." In the game, players become Darth Vader's secret apprentice and use The Force to hunt the remaining Jedi.

Wii News from N4G | Animal Crossing: City Folk

Wii - Animal Crossing: City Folk - Animal Crossing to feature DLC, DS connectivity

Arguably one of the biggest announcements at Nintendo's media briefing, Animal Crossing: City Folk will be heading to the Wii November 16th. Two special features which have not been asked about (if they are in the game) are DLC and DS to Wii connectivity. Fortunately, Katsuya Eguchi confirmed (and discussed) that both functions will be available in the game....

Rock Band 2: Website is Live, plus Original Disc Import Information

Wii News from N4G | Rock Band

Wii - Rock Band - Rock Band 2: Website is Live, plus Original Disc Import Information

Alan Tsang of PS3Fanboy says,

"We mentioned before that Rock Band 2 will allow players to "export most of the Rock Band disc tracks and upgrade them into Rock Band 2 gameplay." Most means not all. So what tracks are excluded? Joystiq got a chance to talk to senior designer Dan Teasdale, who said the final list of importable songs is still up in the air, due to licensing issues. Apparently Harmonix had to re-license all of the tracks from the first Rock Band. Sources are saying the number of songs excluded will probably be around 2 to 3. This is speculated to be caused by the new exclusivity deals with Guitar Hero: World Tour.

The official Rock Band 2 website has also been opened. No new information, but there are a couple of IM icons and wallpaper. The website also allows you to pre-order the game on the Xbox 360 on Amazon, but a quick look around also leads a pre-order for the PS3 version, including the Special Edition which includes the instruments. We did notice the Special Edition is has a release date listed as October 19th while the game by itself has it listed as November 30th, but these dates are probably inaccurate. The 360 Special Edition, which already has a confirmed release date of September, also has the release date listed as October here."

E3 2008: Animal Crossing: City Folk Not Getting VC Functionality.

Wii News from N4G | Animal Crossing: City Folk

Wii - Animal Crossing: City Folk - E3 2008: Animal Crossing: City Folk Not Getting VC Functionality.

Kombo Reports: "At the extra exciting Nintendo Conference (part deux), Yeguchi, a developer from Animal Crossing: City Folk, took some time out to talk about the upcoming title. Tons of tidbits were revealed.

He started by saying that event reminders and jingles would be returning to the title. Stuff like Halloween. There will be two new events as well, one where a man hides painted eggs throughout the town (Easter) and a Carnival.

Furniture and Wallpapers will be updated constantly through WiiConnect24. They're really striving to make this game come with a ton of longevity.

The city side of the game will feature a set of business where players can indulge. One of them is even a theater where folks can take in a comedy show."

More after the jump.

Miyamoto tells us why we don't need Rock Band or Guitar Hero

Wii News from N4G | Wii Music

Wii - Wii Music - Miyamoto tells us why we don't need Rock Band or Guitar Hero

Destructoid writes: "One of the games Nintendo really wanted to sell at their press conference was Wii Music. Nintendo's game of invisible instruments seems to pale in comparison to the more competitive music games like Rock Band and Guitar Hero. Today, Shigeru Miyamoto talked to multiplayerblog about why consumers should want to own Wii Music over the new music offerings from Harmonix and Neversoft:

'What I find what is fun about music [games] is when you really get into a good rhythm and you have a great time performing. But the challenge is then, how do you do that in a way where people don't have to worry about hitting the wrong note or making a mistake? So, that's really been our focus with designing Wii Music.'

So, the fact that Wii Music will provide us with the opportunity to act like we're playing a game is the reason why we should gravitate towards the title? I'm sorry, but the idea seems to be lost on me. I realize every game doesn't have to be competitive, but at the same rate, there has to be something present that is more engrossing than our own imaginations. I understand the sentiment when relating it to the uber-casual gamer, but for everyone? I guess we'll have to see later when we get our hands on it."
