Data Design Interactive has planned a motherload of Wii games that will dethrone any current or future killer app:
The story from Go Nintendo

Oh yeah, these games will skyrocket the Wii into the heavens!

NOTE: Despite the sarcasm, I am actually glad that Nintendo is allowing many developers to make games for it and that its supporting new IPs. But its hard not to snicker at bit when watching the box art...

EDIT: Posted the link to the original story

Ninjabread Man has sold me on the concept alone.

Yeah, Ninja Bread Man just looks AWESOME... I hope it's at least mediocre so that the gameplay doesn't detract from the concept.

Monster Truck Xtreme's boxart is so in my face!

Bah. I saw "Super Mario Galaxy" and I assumed there would be new information.

Arbok · « **Reply #7 on:** February 27, 2007, 06:40:45 PM »

The more variety of games on the shelves, the better... no matter how bad a majority of them might be.

Strell · « **Reply #8 on:** February 27, 2007, 06:48:22 PM »

I think we actually need Teen Girl Squad Racing.

CHILDREN!

Crimm · « **Reply #9 on:** February 27, 2007, 07:02:13 PM »

So, place your bets: which game will get the lowest review.

I'm going Action Girls Racing based totally on the demographics of our review staff.

Ninjabread man looks awesome. Also, where is the box art for the Egyptian game?

Oh yeah, remember the Gingerbread man from the Shrek movies?

The Gingerbread man wasn't "from" the Shrek movies!

Both Ninjabread Man and Hamster Heroes are on the PC (15€) and PS2 (20€) here. Judging by the PEGI ratings on those boxes we'll get the Wii versions, too.

I think we actually need Teen Girl Squad Racing.

tines, Tines, TINES!
F#ck yeah! That would be so awesome.

Also, where is the box art for the Egyptian game?

What Egyptian game?

EDIT: Trailer for Ninjabread Man

If they handle these titles with tongue and cheek humor they could be great.

Ninja Bread Man sounds silly.

But the game that has me sold is Hamster Heroes. I love Hamsters and actually believe there is a lot of promise to a concept like this.

Unfortunately, I don't believe these titles will be given the effort they deserve to become great games.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #14 on:** February 28, 2007, 02:34:31 AM »

From the screenshots on their website these games seem to all use the same engine, even the same HUD.

ryancoke · « **Reply #15 on:** February 28, 2007, 03:00:55 AM »

OMFG!!11!1!!!! NINJA FREAKING BREAD MAN!!

Is burgerking making these games?

Terranigma Freak · « **Reply #16 on:** February 28, 2007, 03:19:37 AM »

Mmmmm, Ninjabread Man.

Ian Sane · « **Reply #17 on:** February 28, 2007, 04:20:34 AM »

I have to make a note to show my brothers Ninjabread Man. The only problem is it's obviously meant as a joke. It's funnier (for me) when something like that is presented in a dead serious manner. Something like Kite Man is a pretty funny idea but it's even funnier when a comics company legitimately thinks it's a good idea.

MONStER tRUX EXtREMe gains points for inconsistent capitalization but loses points for not spelling it as "XtREMe". They got the "tRUX" misspelling right so why not go all the way? They optionally could have spelled it as "MONStA" as well.

Wow, what a huge disappointment!

The game is fugly, and going by that video, appears to have some major camera issues (notice how they cut away to another scene when the camera control gets out of hand)!

Not worth it, even at a "budget" price (which would be what, $29.99 for the Wii?).

KDR_11k · « **Reply #19 on:** February 28, 2007, 05:27:19 AM »

20$ probably, seeing how it's 20€ in Europe.

I wouldn't call it fugly, it looks about on par for a PS2 budget game.

How did you find out the names of the new bosses from the next Mega Man game?

You really shouldn't leech bandwidth from GoNintendo. And if you're going to do it, you can at least have the decency to link to the original article (which has a bunch of games that didn't make it into Pap's cut).

KDR_11k · « **Reply #23 on:** February 28, 2007, 06:26:18 AM »

Of those I know that I've seen Anubis 2 and Myth Makers: Trixie in Toyland on store shelves.

Believe me when I said that if I could do it I would download the pics and upload it on my own webfolder, but been having problems trying to set it up (mainly, the guy that knows the crap is always busy).

And the reason I didn't link it to Go Nintendo was because the last time I did Bloodworth felt a tad annoyed by it, thinking that I was involuntarily promoting that website.

Plus the box art and screens came directly from the Developer's website, so it wasn't Go Nintendo's original story, so I didn't give direct credit to Go Nintendo.
