The Armin Van Buuren DJ game resurfaces
In the Mix Featuring Armin Van Buuren, the Wii DJ game featuring the likeness and tracks of the popular DJ, was originally set for a fall 2009 release opposite DJ Hero (which would have been awkward). Publisher Foreign Home Games smartly delayed the game, and now Amazon has it set for June 26 in Europe. There is currently no word on a release in North America. Aussie-Nintendo posted baffling new screens of the Wii music game, revealing that the main game mode is devoid of the usual note markers, instead providing some kind of tunnel of light as its on-screen indicator. Perhaps you point at one of the corners of the screen? It also reveals that you'll be able to perform gestures to make your glowing, outlined torso "interact" with a crowd. Over at the (coincidentally named) Australian dance music site In the Mix, you can find a list of the 61 tracks included in the game.
'World's Best DJ' last in the world to get on DJ game bandwagon
Armin van Buuren may be the "best DJ in the world," but now he's also the guy who picked the wrong time to jump into the DJ-game market. Foreign Media Games is publishing a Wii-exclusive game featuring Van Buuren's music, called Armin Van Buuren - In the Mix, due out this fall.The Cloud 9-developed music game will allow players to remix Van Buuren's music, including previously unreleased tracks, with "effects and loops." In addition to Van Buuren's work, the game will feature music from guest artists. There's no mention of a special controller, and the press release makes mention of utilizing "Wii functionality," which is probably the Wiimote. Maybe this game can distinguish itself from the others by not using a wacky controller, and thus being affordable.
