Will the release of PDC World Championship Darts 2008 be enough to knock Wii Play off the top?

PDC Darts 2008 goes for the bull on Nintendo Wii (PDC World Championship Darts 2008)

24/01/2008

Boasting even more PDC Champions than ever before, PDC Darts 2008 will feature a full line-up of electrifying (not literally) tournaments, explains Oxygen, along with "exceptional graphic enhancements" and extra gameplay modes to test player skill to the maximum.

And, to help whet any appetites not attuned to the wonders of stepping up to the oche and banging that 501 out with a legendary nine-dart finish, PDC World Championship Darts 2008 is already blazing a fairly healthy review trail.

PDC World Championship Darts 2008 - hands on (PDC World Championship Darts 2008)

23/10/2007

Oct 23, 2007 After the iffy darts minigame in Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz, the market has been wide open for a decent darts game on Wii. And this might just be it. PDC World Championship Darts 2008 features 16 professional darts players and their likenesses (although several are said to have asked for a few pounds to be shaved off their virtual selves, so they may be slimmer than you remember) along with facial and body motion-capture. The result is a pleasantly realistic representation of ...

Wii PES: The football RTS (PES (working title))

12/10/2007

Oct 12, 2007 Nintendo's Wiimote-driven motion controls offer plenty of potential, if a developer is willing to explore the idea. Which is why this video, while showing the same game we all know and love in PES 2008, illustrates an experience you've never had from any football game before. Wii PES plays like a real time strategy game, a football RTS. That's because you can now exercise a dizzying level of control enabling you to launch any player on a pitch-spanning run, pull onrushing ...

Pro Evolution Soccer heads for Wii (PES (working title))

22/08/2007

Aug 22, 2007 We expected some surprises this week, but PES on Wii wasn't one of them. Nevertheless, it's true - Pro Evolution Soccer is headed for Wii in the first quarter of 2008. The game that keeps us occupied every lunchtime should need no introduction. PES is the finest simulation of football ever crafted and Nintendo owners should rejoice at the fact they're getting their own custom version of the game. Details are thin on the ground at present, with only the promise of "full use of the ...

Pimp My Ride game planned for PS3 and Wii? (Pimp My Ride)

15/10/2007

Activision today released its release schedule for the coming months for Europe. Apart from all the games that already have been confirmed, Activision has listed a Pimp My Ride game for both Playstation 3 and Nintendo Wii. The game is listed to come out on both platforms in Spring 2008.

There has already been a Pimp My Ride game for both Xbox 360 and Playstation 2 but this was released by MTV Games. The game was horribly bad, sold very bad and was pounded in reviews. Is this the same game, but for different platforms, or are we dealing here with a brand new Pimp My Ride game? Activision has not responded to this rumor yet.

PotC: At World's End ships in Japan as a Nintendo exclusive (Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End)

2/06/2007

For a blockbuster hit like the Pirates of the Caribbean, you would think that publishers would jump on the opportunity on the franchise's fame and rake in shiploads of moolah by porting it to all conceivable platforms possible.

But not Disney Interactive Studios. While Jack Sparrow and the rest of his crew will be basking under the sun across multiplatforms on U.S. shores, Japan will only find them exclusively on Nintendo platforms. That's right, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End will only be shipped for the Japanese Wii and DS.

QJ.net are just as clueless as to why Disney Interactive opted to embrace this strategy for Japan, but it seems that they are confident PotC: At World's End will do just fine, even without the help of the other platform versions. They will see just how much gold they'll be raking in with this double-edged move.

European WiiWare Update: Pirates and SPOGS Racing (Pirates: The Key of Dreams - Wii Software)

18/07/2008

It's WiiWare week for Europe again, and this time there are once again two new games available. Although you might as well say it's just one, as one of them was already released in the US and was found to be rather shockingly bad.

The "new" game of the bunch is Pirates: The Key of Dreams, in which you can play as a pirate, sailing the seas, recruiting new men, battling other ships, finding treasure and investigate, all leading to the ultimate goal: Finding the "Key of Dreams". The game is a prequel to the now released DS game Pirates: Duels on the High Seas. Obviously we don't have a review already, but if you want to find out some more about the game, you could read the interview we had with the game's developer, Oxygen Games. The game costs 1000 Wii Points.

Today's other game was released in the USA the week before last and is already somewhat notorious. SPOGS Racing makes you play as "SPOGS Racers", basically wheels with a pog inside (You know them, those things you could get in potato chip bags in the 90's!).....

Pirates: The Key of Dreams - First Screenshots (Pirates: The Key of Dreams - Wii Software)

19/05/2008

UK developer Oxygen Games has been so nice as to provide us with some more information and the first screens of its upcoming WiiWare game Pirates: The Key of Dreams.

The game's story mode features a navy captain who is sent undercover to retrieve "The Key of Dreams", a dangerous artefact, from the hands of the famous pirate Blackbeard. To do this he must travel to seven different locations in 3 different parts of the world, finding out where Blackbeard is located and eventually battling him.

Naval combat games broadsiding DS and WiiWare (Pirates: The Key of Dreams - Wii Software)

17/04/2008

Oxygen Interactive has unfurled the sails on two naval combat games, one which is heading to DS and one to WiiWare.

Yarr... *cough* Pirates: Duels on the High Seas is the name of the DS game and it includes single-player and multiplayer modes and features naval combat on the high seas in seven different locations around the globe.

In addition to broad siding enemy ships and fantastical beasts - like a Kraken - you'll be ...
