We step into the shoes of a detective with this hands-on video footage.

This week NWR had a chance to play Disney Guilty Party at Nintendo's Media Summit. Here's some hands-on footage of Wideload's upcoming Wii detective game.

First we take a look at the sketching of a suspect, and the bribe mechanic.

Next we had a chance to see some of the game's humorous cutscenes.

We catch Team Meat on the floor of the Nintendo Media Summit, and they have us on the floor, comedically speaking.

NWR's roving reporting reporter Aaron Kaluszka ran into Team Meat, creators of Super Meat Boy, at the Nintendo Media Summit this week. He cornered them and forced them into a no-holds-barred interview in which the team described their stalking of Reggie Fils-Aime.

Thanks to Team Meat for letting NWR shove a camera in their faces!

Meat + buzzsaw = messy.

NWR had some hands-on time with Super Meat Boy at Nintendo's Media Summit, and we managed to snag some direct feed footage.

In this first video, we take a look at the game's unique platforming. Wow, that meat really splatters when it hits a buzzsaw.

This second video shows some later levels, in which Meat Boy is engulfed in shadows. Scary!

This is even better than Wild Kingdom.

Our own Aaron Kaluszka got some hands-on time with Monster Hunter Tri at Nintendo's recent Media Summit, and he brought along his camera. He was brave enough to get this footage of a monster hunter's exploits in the wilderness!

The first part of his video shows him picking a character and going after some low-level beasties.
