The first is Wii Music. Similar to the tech demo shown at last years E3, players can expect to conduct an Orchestra and make some amazing symphonies. The level of detail goes to each individual instrument being played, so the song will sound just as well as you conduct! Songs can be shared most likely through Wifi connect. Though it looks as to be an orchestral game for now, I wouldn’t be surprised if it were to include other types of music so you can create any type of song.

The next is whats being called Health Pack, which is just what it sounds like, a game meant to be played for health purposes.Included will be a simple exercise to help you out in your everyday life, sorta like Brain Age for the body. However, it will also include another feature, the ability to connect and communicate with real world hospitals through a most likely future Wii Channel. The data will be sent and received regularly throughout the day to constantly update status.

Both of these games are set to be released by the end of the year 2007.

The best news about this game though? Online play. This will become the first official online multiplayer game for the Wii in both the US and UK, Japan however beat us to it. But don’t worry, we’ll too get Pokemon.

The details about online play are a bit limited for now, but so far its sounding good:

• Ranked and Unranked matches
• Leader boards
• Friend codes are needed (ugh)
• 4 player matches, with up to 2 people on the same Wii, which sounds like it could be awesome, you and a friend against two others.
• Random play is region locked, so no random play with anyone outside the country.

Due out in May across the pond, hopefully it won’t take long to get over here. Looks like a blast to me.

But no, it’s true according to Sega. This new title is probably going to be just as it sounds, an Olympics game with Mario and Sonic, Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games. In it will be a variety of Olympics based games (Ping Pong, Swimming, Track and Field, etc.) along with some characters from both sides of the spectrum. Including Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi from Nintendo and Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails from Sega. Sure something like this has been done before with Nintendo and cross-overs, but never with Sega, boy this is big if you grew up during the right time.

The game will be designed by Sega with oversight by Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto. Simon Jeffery of Sega said,

“It’s going to be very interactive and fairly physical.”

In traditional Wii-style, the game will make unique use of the Wii’s motion-sensitive controller. The gameplay will involve

“something that has not yet been imagined on Wii and DS,”

added Nintendo’s Perrin Kaplan. Players will compete in events based on the official venues of the Beijing 2008 Summer Olympic Games.

The game is expected to come out in Holiday 2007, so expect at the end of the year.

I CAN’T WAIT!!!

First off is Splatterhouse (TG16, 600 points) – The forces of evil are abroad – ghastly, slimy creatures from the depths of your very worst nightmares. And as if that wasn’t bad enough, they’ve captured your girlfriend! You’ve got to go to rescue her, so climb into your blue boiler-suit, put on your fearsome ice hockey mask and go kick the butts of those things that go bump in the night. This is a weird game, like real weird. It’s pretty much a sidescroller, but through the view of an 80′s horror movie antagonist. Pretty bloody and a bit creepy. Pick it up if you dare.

Up next is Beyond Oasis (Genesis, 800 points) – You are the young Prince Ali in a desperate fight to defeat the evil that is threatening your island empire, Oasis. Long ago, a war raged between a wicked sorcerer who used a silver “armlet” to unleash destruction on the island and a wizard who defied him with a gold armlet that could summon four powerful spirits. Wow, another RPG for the Virtual Console, if you’re into those types of games I’d say it’s worth the download. Plus, the main characters name is Prince Ali, and the only other one I know seems like a cool guy.

Finally, this week we have an oldie but a goodie, Excitebike (NES, 500 points) – Race by yourself againt the clock or compete with other motocross riders on 5 tracks full of long straights, large jumps and obstacles to win the Excitebike championship. This game is just plain and simple fun. Five courses to challenge and even a track editor for when you’ve beaten those! This game was so boss that it had two sequels made for it, Excitebike 64 and the recently released Excite Truck for the Wii. Check ‘em all out for an Exciting time…sorry, I couldn’t resist.

So yet another week has gone by and another set of games has been released. Good selection, but could have been a bit better. Maybe next week will give us some more great titles.

According to ONM(Official Nintendo Magazine), the Wii is “stepping back in time as a classic game makes its long overdue return”. Accompanying this is a picture of a starry night, saying that the stars are also a clue. Well thank goodness for the interwebs and nerds, because within mere hours this case was cracked.

The answer? NiGHTS. Now I know a few of you are a bit questionable about why I think this is such good news. You’re like, “Mike, why is this such good news?” Well the reason why this is such good news is the fact that a Sega classic is being revived. Which could help bring back the good ole days of gaming back. And don’t you dare tell me those weren’t the best days.

But here comes a problem. This was published in an April issue of this magazine. And if anyone knows about gaming publications around April, you’d expect to be dissapointed. But maybe, just maybe, this is such big news that it’s real, atleast I’m hoping for it to be.

First up is Sonic Spinball -Genesis (800 Wii Points). If you’ve got a character that’s always spinning around like a ball, why not just make a pinball game of it? I mean its never been done before…or even repeated… But this was one of the firsts to do so, and it’s a pretty fun game. I reccomend it if grew up during the 16-bit war.

Up next, Tecmo Bowl -NES (500 Wii Points). This was the Madden of its day, I mean look at it. You can’t get any better looking than that when it comes to football on the NES. With amazing graphics, great animations, and simple, yet fun gameplay, this is a game worth looking into. It even got a sequel for the SNES which, with luck, might come to the VC later on.

Last on this weeks releases is Double Dungeons- TurboGrafx-16 (600 Wii Points). To be completely honest, I’ve never played this game before(along with many other TurboGrafx-16 games). However, it does look to be somewhat unique. It’s a First Person RPG, along the veins of Phantasy Star and Dragon Warrior. What sets this apart from the others is the fact that you can play Co-op. Perfect for a home with multiple RPG fans, and for only 600 points, it’s worth a try.

So this concludes this weeks releases, not quite as good as last weeks installments, but still decent. Here’s hoping for even better games next week. Who knows, there may be a big suprise…be sure to check back regularly to stay up to date with your Wii related news.

Are there any out there you’re interested in? Be sure to leave comments if you are.

Second commercial after the jump.

I like these two because they seem to show the casual nature of the Wii and how anyone will enjoy it.

So what do you think? Leave some comments and let us know.

Jeez, no news because no GDC. To kill my boredom I’m forced to race Pugs in illegal drag races.

Oh well, it’ll pick up tomorrow, I’ll have a Virtual Console update. It’s all good.

Wow, just wow. I really can’t wait for this game.

First we have Elevator Action (NES, 500 Wii Points): This is a multidirectional, scroll-type spy-action game that is a blast from the past. Control a spy and sneak alone into a building to steal the secret papers hidden there. A port of an old arcade game. If you really want it then I’d suggest getting it, otherwise just find the arcade cabinet to get the full experience.

Next for the Genesis we have Sword of Vermillion (Genesis, 800 Wii Points): Sword of Vermilion is about the role of Erik’s son, who takes on a quest of revenge to defeat Tsarkon and free the world of Vermilion from evil. To be honest, I’ve never played this game, but if you’re one to remember the good old days, you’ll definitely know this does what Nintendon’t. If you’re really into RPGs and can’t find any decent ones, this could hold you over.

The final game is one of my favorites, Super Ghouls ‘n Ghosts (SNES, 800 Wii Points): The third game in the legendary Ghosts ‘n Goblins series of video games, Super Ghouls ‘n Ghosts follows Arthur in another quest to rescue the princess, his fair maiden and damsel in distress at large. This game is tough, I mean like getting punched in the face while taking an eye exam tough. I highly recommend this game to anyone who’s looking for a challenge or just some nostalgic gaming.

So this weeks line up seems pretty decent, lets hope that next weeks will be even better.
