First details of Another Code R
We've seen very little of Another Code R, Cing's Wii sequel to Trace Memory/Another Code, but it's coming out in Japan next month, published by Nintendo! Famitsu has new screenshots of the adventure game, and they look really good to us. The in-game 3D models look exactly like the character art!1up's Kevin Gifford has translated the article and provided details of the setting, which comprise huge super spoilers if you haven't played through the first game. Just a warning. The new game has series protagonist Ashley exploring a lake campground, which, of course, stirs up trace important childhood memories.We wholeheartedly endorse the movement to put new adventure games on Wii. Hopefully it doesn't pull them away from the DS, but the Strong Bad series has already made the Wii a destination for pointer-controlled pointing-and-clicking.%Gallery-33420%
Nintendo conference screen mega-roundup!
Click for full-sized image Nintendo announced a lot of games last night at their Japanese conference. Many of them, like Punch-Out!! here, were brand new. Some, like Supan Smasher and Cosmic Walker, we still don't know anything about. But we've got screenshots. So many screenshots. After the break, you'll find galleries of all the new games, along with new screens of some upcoming games we've known about for a while. Of special interest to us: the previously-announced Oboro Muramasa Youtouden, coming to the US as Muramasa: The Demon Blade, because it looks super hot, Karaoke Joysound Wii, which appears to have art by Parappa creator Rodney Alan Greenblat, and Takuto of Magic (Wand of Magic), which appears to be a followup to Taito's LostMagic on the DS. %Gallery-33381%
