Wii Warm Up: DuYu NuYu?
Finally, Data Design Interactive has gotten the message, and added the single feature to their Wii offerings that audiences have been clamoring for since Ninjabread Man: knockoff Mii creation. And the NuYu system looks pretty okay! It's easily one of the better things this particular company has done.Now that they've finally added support for user-created avatars, which we're certain was the only impediment to a larger audience, have you been convinced to try out Crazy Mini Golf or to keep a closer eye on other upcoming Popcorn Arcade series games?%Gallery-27275%
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]
With success comes the flood
Remember when Data Design Interactive was going to port a "few" titles to the Wii? Apparently, a "few" means "more than thirty." By the end of the year, it looks like we will be rich in clunky, poorly-reviewed budget ports. Thanks, Data Design. And by "thanks," we mean, "gah, why?" Not a single game we've seen announced is new ... and we're not sure we'd want to see a new one if they made it.Don't let the cute look of Ninjabread Man fool you. All signs point to awful.
