Title: Three new Hudson WiiWare games

A Nectaris sequel (apparently TBS), a Diner Dash port and a versus FPS.

After Onslaught had no PvP play I suspected that they'd try to make a new game for that mode instead of trying to shoehorn Onslaught into it so this wasn't completely unexpected. It looks pretty bad though, worse than Onslaught, reminds me of the Southpark FPS or maybe Katamari Damacy (which trimmed graphics detail to show more stuff). The blocky gouraud shaded objects look like ass IMO, especially the weapons which looks especially wrong since water pistols are usually more roundish as that works better for water tanks... Really should have used more details on the first person models, at least make the screw on the back round...

Looks like they have the D team working on these. Yucko.

I got stuck on Onslaught on a particular stage when the difficulty ramped up pretty sharply after the first boss.

I've always thought that kids waging water wars would be AWESOME...

But they gotta take it further. You need to have weapon emplacements like water cannons, you need to have water balloons, and tree forts that require storming. Yeah, you gotta take squirt guns and make some real childhood warfare out of it.

Water gun fight mixed with paintballing?

edit: after looking at the screen shots.... I'm guessing WiiWare is where Nintendo plans on dropping all those Edutainment titles?

I'm interested in the Advance Wars type game since it has online play. The other two aren't that attractive to me. The PvP FPS doesn't interest me because by the time it comes out it will be relatively close to the release of Conduit and that should be my FPS satisfaction for long while.

Hudson seems to be pretty intent on remaining the publisher with the most games on WiiWare. I wonder when these will come out...

That's why you're still a kid! (I assume you mean the base defense one, use the tank to snipe the far-away hives, some are slightly hidden and might require a bit of moving but don't bother with the south hive yet. Snipe the jammer bugs too while you're at it. When you have 3 minutes left on the clock the enemies stop spawning until 2 minutes left to give you some time to deal with the remaining hives, should only have the south one left, wreck it and on the way back go through the crates on the south edge of the base, you'll find the lv2 assault rifle there, if you still can't beat it then leave the tank after sniping the hives, fend the enemies off with your regular weapons until the 2:00 assault, hop in the tank then and finish it)

My wife is excited for Diner Dash, this has been a game she has been enjoying over the last few days.

The Hudson homepage has articles on these games now, while I don't think they've revealed anything unexpected about the other two, it confirms local multiplayer for Water Warfare (http://www.hudsonentertainment.com/feature.php?f=Hudson+%40+GDC&feature_id=%9D%A3%A8%A4%9A%A3&p=3). Only two players local but still better than no local MP at all (also the screenshot seems to have both local and online players or possibly bots). The HUD looks like there are at least three game modes (DM, CTF and a third one, possibly Domination?).

We need a sequel to Nerf Arena Blast.

It's not that level. Its the second (i think) major boss. I'm back to fighting with the controls coz i can't move back or sidestep efficiently enough to avoid his swipe or ground attacks.

Well, get the lv2 SMG, practice your dodging and whenever he jumps at you give him a good whipping.
