Wii releases for the week of September 24th
This week doesn't hold much for eager Wii enthusiasts, aside from Konami's introduction of its wildly-popular franchise Dance Dance Revolution to the platform. If you're looking for something else to play, well you might just be out of luck. Most of what's available doesn't look all too appealing, to us at least.This week's releases are: Dance Dance Revolution: Hottest Party Bundle Hot Wheels Beat That Dragon Blade: Wrath of Fire Balls of Fury So, any of you trying to pick one or more of these new titles up?
Free Balls of Fury Marketplace downloads
To celebrate the impending release of Rogue Pictures' ping-pong comedy Ball of Fury, the powers that be have lovingly placed a few free downloads up on the XBLM. Available to US and Canada Xbox Live members are two free Ball of Fury downloads including a theme and nine different Balls of Fury gamer pictures. The gamer pics feature a bunch of characters from the movie and the theme is pretty decent as the guide displays a ping-pong paddle and balls tiled in a sexually suggestive manner with Christopher Walken used as the background for the Media blade ... 'nough said. So, we advise giving the free content a download if you're all about ping-pong, balls, or Christopher Walken.
Friday Video: of Fury
One advantage Balls of Fury the movie has over Balls of Fury the game: its characters look basically like regular human people and not ... these things. The game really lacks the comforting presence of the fatherly Christopher Walken, substituting a terrifying sub-Walkenoid. We hate to use the term "Uncanny Valley," since that's become somewhat of a cliche on the Internet, so we'll just say "WHAT IS THAT NOOOOOOOOO" instead.ProTip: mapping still images of actors' faces onto flat polygons does not appear to be the best idea. Try not doing that instead.
Today's movie tie-in video: Balls of Fury
Rockstar must be hoping more than ever that the Wii version of Table Tennis is a hit, but movie tie-in, Balls of Fury, bounces in as another ping-pong option. Do we have high hopes for a movie property? (Especially this movie?) No.But the game trailer is entertaining, especially if you haven't heard of the movie, as we hadn't. Here's hoping that Christopher Walken is a playable character. He's our weapon of choice.See the trailer for this Fall, 2007 DS and Wii game after the break.
