Are you referencing God Hand?

I don't believe there are any stealth titles on Wii... Hopefully this will open the floodgates.Also Bill thats a good idea.

Kairon · « **Reply #54 on:** June 04, 2008, 05:02:08 PM »

Tenchu 4? Wii exclusive. Score.

This is progress.

Also good that a DS series (Rune Factory) is coming to the Wii. Sometimes companies benefit on the DS but don't jump off the handheld onto Nintendo's console.

I had a hard time getting into run factory.... Seemed like the first dungeon thing was a pain.,

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #56 on:** June 04, 2008, 05:17:08 PM »

Rune Factory 2 supposedly fixed all the problems with the first game (I hope it's localized...I sorta...put off buying the first one when the sequel was announced...), and this Wii version promises to expand on that, so it SHOULD be a good game (hopefully!)

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #57 on:** June 04, 2008, 06:33:52 PM »

Avalon Code, Valkyrie Profile, and Shiren the Wanderer DS 2 scans have been added...

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #58 on:** June 05, 2008, 02:46:16 AM »

I stayed away from Rune Factory on the DS because I already had a Harvest Moon I really liked for it, but don't feel like playing a traditional Harvest Moon on a console (besides VC) and am very interested in Rune Factory Wii.

Well we finally know who's making Wario Land Shake. It's been outsourced to a company called GOOD-FEEL. GOOD-FEEL is a new company that's made up of ex-Konami employees, who's notable work was on the Goemon games.

Well even though I'd have prefered Nintendo RD1 or Treasure, the fact that the people at this GOOD-FEEL were involved in the Goemon games is a good sign at least. The Goemon games were solid platformers, so at least there's a chance this game might be one as well.

I hope. $:-\$

DAaaMan64 · « **Reply #60 on:** June 06, 2008, 05:13:14 PM »

Ahh so the bigger news is that the Goemon team gone

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #61 on:** June 06, 2008, 05:53:17 PM »

The bigger news is that the Goemon team is now working for Nintendo...

True. But being a huge Goemon fan, it doesn't bode well for the series at Konami.

But hey, I'll take the Goemon guys under another roof anyday!

Smoke39 · « **Reply #63 on:** June 06, 2008, 08:34:23 PM »

Konami hardly ever released Goemon games in the US anyway. :/ Wario's such a zany character, though, he could be a good fit for the Goemon devs.

They haven't touched the series since the DS version that came out the first year of the system's life, so I'm confident that the series is pretty much dead anyway... *shrug*

Uh, why is Wario posing like that?

If you read the caption, it says "Maple." I guess her full name is Maple Syrup? hahaha

More than just inspired. They didn't even change the character names.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #70 on:** June 11, 2008, 02:25:30 PM »

And the name is an anagram of WIZARD OZ... or O WIZZARD, depending on how you see it

Luigi Dude · « **Reply #71 on:** June 11, 2008, 08:47:14 PM »

So we now have anime cutscenes done be Production I.G. in a 2d Wario game, along with Captian Syrup returning for the first time in 10 years!

Bartman3010 · « **Reply #72 on:** June 11, 2008, 10:12:26 PM »

All I want to say is...why doesnt Nintendo just make a new Mario cartoon? If Pokemon was such a success, then they also did Kirby and F-Zero...come on.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #73 on:** June 12, 2008, 09:19:51 PM »
