Pirates: Treasure Hunters MOBA reveals new official trailer
Netmarble is getting into the MOBA business with Pirates: Treasure Hunters, a new title first announced for South Korea last November. The competitive multiplayer game looks to be pirate-themed (surprise!) and is developed by Virtual Toys of Spain. There's currently no word of an English port, but you can check out the full video over at MMO Culture and the debut trailer after the jump below.
HoopWorld slam dunks WiiWare on July 19
Cutting through all of the hoopla, developer Streamline Studios has announced that its 3-on-3 arcade basketball game, Hoopworld, will finally be available for download this coming Monday, July 19. With a price tag of 1,000 Wii Points ($10), Hoopworld combines elements of NBA Jam and games like Power Stone. Even more surprising is that it was once destined for Xbox Live Arcade. Also: gamers have been waiting for, like, four years. That's a lot of time on the bench. But this Monday, it'll finally release, albeit solely on the Wii. It's got kung-fu power-ups, seven different teams and six different courts, offering players a competitive basketball experience unseen since -- wait, since when? Bill Laimbeer's Combat Basketball on the SNES? Great, now we feel old.
NintendoWare Weekly: Phoenix Wright, Sonic & Knuckles, Spotto!
As expected, today marks the release of Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Justice for All on WiIWare. Capcom's lawyer-'em-up is joined by a plethora of new titles, so if you have some extra pocket change or a packed piggy bank, you'll want to head past the break and see what's available for download this week.
Spaceball on NA WiiWare this week, not what you think it is
No, Mel Brooks isn't trying his hand at game development. As much as we wish it were true, it just isn't so. Instead, according to NintendoRAW, North America will be laying its grubby mitts on Spaceball Revolution as part of next week's WiiWare releases (it's already out in Europe). The game rests somewhere between Pong and a puzzle game, requiring players to toss a ball down an alley and light up certain squares. Naturally, there are plenty of obstacles to prevent you from accomplishing this. If you've been waiting for some decent ball-chucking action -- and can stomach the heartbreak of a world without Spaceballs: The Video Game -- you might want to give it a try.
