E307: Picross and the painted pixels
The release of Picross is just around the corner for American gamers (none too soon!), and the title packs a huge punch considering the budget price. Not only does it look awesome, but it's been well-reviewed, and we'll have downloadable content. That's so great that Nintendo hardly needed to whet our appetites with a few new screens, but hey -- we're not complaining. Check 'em out below!Did we mention the wifi multiplayer? How can it be included in a lower-priced game like this, but not in Mario Party? We love you, Nintendo, but sometimes, we just don't understand you. %Gallery-4794%
Wii and Capcom: so happy together
Capcom's Christian Svensson, Sr. Director of Strategic Planning & Research, recently sat down with Gamasutra to discuss everything from downloadable content to the company's increasing success in the West. Of course, the subject of the Wii came up, particularly in regard to original downloadable content. Original VC content may be an issue, Svensson said, due to file size limitations, but Capcom is also considering other options, like compilation titles for retail. We'd like to hear the word 'budget' in there somewhere, but it's too early to be cranky; we'll wait and see what they come up with.Resident Evil 4 redux came up as well, and Svensson defended the company's choice to release the title on the GameCube originally. "A lot of people knock the decision to put it on GameCube, but at the same time, Resident Evil 4 was the number-one selling title for the GameCube in 2005, which is hard for a third-party," Svensson retorted, and we fully agree that that the combination of GC and Resident Evil 4 was a match made in heaven. We wait with bated breath for the Wii version.
