UK public hungry for cookie games
We're taking this story with a grain of salt and a tall glass of milk. According to a press release from Data Design Interactive, two of their four budget Wii titles "already sold out within 3 days of release." Which two games sold out was not specified, but the four released were Ninjabread Man, Billy the Wizard, Anubis II, and Rock & Roll Adventure.We're going to assume that Ninjabread Man was one of the sellouts, because we kind of want to buy it. The identity of the other one pretty much doesn't matter. But this development leads to two obvious questions: Why would people who know better (this stuff was already released on PS2) go in for the same kind of punishment again? How many copies of each game were in the shipment? Four? Five? Nice to have evidence that third party games can sell on the Wii, we suppose.[Via NeoGAF]
Wii gets some RPG love
Call for Heroes: Pompolic Wars, the forthcoming PC RPG, will also be heading to the Wii during Q4 of this year. If there's a big hole in your life where Twilight Princess used to be, this might be worth checking out. Publisher Data Design Interactive is mostly involved with budget titles, so don't expect this to be in the same class as Zelda, but it could give us an insight into how the Wii handles the demands of a PC style game. Plus more RPGs have never been a bad thing.The interface doesn't look particularly Wii friendly at present, with lots of small icons and text, but the official website promises the finished product will take full advantage of the Wiimote. We're curious to see how Pompolic Wars shapes up at the end of the year[Via Infendo]
