Alone in the Dark producer shows Wii controls and gameplay
With the first footage we've seen of the Wii's Alone in the Dark in action, the game's producer, Maxime Loppin, shows off the title to JeuxVideo. To be honest, we know next to nothing of what Monsieur Loppin is saying, but sometimes actions speak louder than words.After the break we've embedded footage of Loppin playing the game (he starts around 1:57). A nice touch: by moving the Wiimote and nunchuk away from each other in a "coat opening motion" players can view Carnby's inventory, which he conveniently keeps inside his coat. And if anyone is feeling super ambitious and wants to translate, be our guest.
NiGHTS Wii screens, interview found in Portuguese game mag
French gaming site Jeux France has what it claims is the first images of the new NiGHTS title for Wii, from magazine scans of Portuguese magazine Maxi Consola. (We're so multicultural.) So far, NiGHTS has been an extremely persistent rumor; this is the either the first concrete evidence of the title's existence or the cleverest Photoshop effort to date.The magazine scans feature an interview with Takashi Iizuka (here written Takeshi), a Sega developer who's had a hand or two in every Sonic game since 1994 as well as the original NiGHTS Into Dreams. Our Portuguese is a bit pathetic, but Play Nintendo has translated the interview. The game is purported to have a two player mode and some online capabilities. Jeux France purports that Sega will make an announcement early April.
Tales of Destiny 2 screenshots
Tales of the World isn't the only Tales game heading to Japan. Bandai-Namco is adding yet another excellent Tales game to the PSP library, which continues to expand, much to the anguish of American PSP owners. Jeux France has tons of new screenshots of Tales of Destiny 2, a port of the popular PlayStation 2 RPG. Unlike Tales of the World, this game features some old school 2D graphics. However, with large, eye-catching sprites, and some cool battle animations, ToD 2 will most likely look quite stunning on the portable screen. Expect it to hit Japan in 2007, and potentially never come out in the US. Boo.
2 new bundles revealed for France
These two new DS Lite bundles of popular Sega games Sonic Rush and Project Rub are not confirmed to be limited edition DS Lites like the ones we've seen with Pokemon and Final Fantasy characters on them, instead featuring the black and pink DS Lites respectively. However, each bundle does include a limited edition pack-in, such as a Sonic figurine and T-shirt. The Project Rub bundle is stated as costing 129,99 € and the Sonic Rush bundle is stated as costing 169,99 €.
Jeanne d'Arc continues to impress
French website Jeux France has scored tons of new pictures of the upcoming PSP-exclusive Jeanne d'Arc. As you may know, we at PSP Fanboy are highly anticipating this game, and by looking at your comments to the official trailer, it looks like you guys can't wait either. Hopefully, SCEA will get off their butts and announce a US version of this incredible-looking game soon.
