On March 11, 2008 the Nintendo Corporation introduced their latest game, a game called Nanostray 2. Nanostray 2 is the sequel to Nintendo’s Nanostray.

The World of Nanostray 2

If you are someone who likes to play games that are full of action and constant activity, if you drool over games that allow to shoot things, if you love being able to die in a hundred different ways to die, then Nanostray 2 is the game for you. While playing Nanostray 2, you will have an opportunity to choose from a seemingly limitless number of projectiles that you can use to shoot hundreds of different foes. While playing Nanostray 2, you will have the sense that you are all alone in a hostile world. From the second you start to play, Nanostray 2 is a non-stop fight for your life.

Nanostray 2 Weaponry

While fighting one foe after another, you will have an impressive arsenal to choose from. You can choose from different six different impressive weapons that you can configure to suit your needs before using them for protection. In addition to the weaponry you will also have access to 4 unlockable simulators.

The Purpose

One of the nice things about Nanostray 2 is that it has a plot. When you start playing, you find that you are a researcher, researching the Nanostray virus. If you are unable to stop the enemies, they will take over the Nanostray technology, using it to kill you.

As you advance through the levels, you will visit each of the eight Nanostray planets. Each planet features its own enemies, a different background, and unique set of hazards and perils.

Playing Nanostray 2

Nanostray can be played with just one person, or it can be adjusted for two people. You can play Nanostray 2 on your DS.

On March 4th, 2008, Nintendo’s newest action, puzzle, racing game, Chicken Hunt hit the store shelves. Chicken Hun is a game created with a younger age group in mind. Chicken Hunter has a rating of E 10+ and will be enjoyed by pre-teens.

The Purpose

When playing Chicken Hunt, you purpose is clear, you are to find as many escaped chickens and there are chickens all over the place in Chicken Hunter, some are running, some are flying, some a hiding behind things. Kids will be delighted to find chickens hiding in unusual places, like inside outhouses and fishing in ponds. The chickens offer further enjoyment by indulging in unchicken like behavior such as frying up breakfast, and reading books.

The more chickens you shoot, the more points you earn. Points are handed out based on difficulty, the harder a chicken is to kill, the more points you will collect. You will want to know what you are aiming at when you are playing Chicken Hunt because shooting harmless items, like the barn, will cost you points.

The Look

Chicken Hunter has lots of bright, colorful, and fun graphics. The chickens are a dull yellow/brown color with googley eyes and worried expressions. They are easy to spot against the vividly colored background. Chirping birds in the background add ambiance to the game.

Choose Your Game Mode

Chicken Hunter has not one, not two, not three, but five different game modes players can choose from. The game modes are Classic, Spot the Difference, Gems, Weights, and Hotwire. Playing Chicken Hunter in its classic mode will be similar to playing a Wii game.

Operating Requirements

Chicken Hunter is a single person game that can be played either on a handheld DS or on a personal computer. If you are playing Chicken Hunter on a personal computer, the minimum system operating system is Windows 98.

There have been rumours rumbling for months now about a version of Rock Band for the Nintendo Wii. Although Electronic Arts, who distributes the game for publisher MTV, wouldn’t confirm of deny the intense speculation, it seems EA’s chief executive John Riccitiello just couldn’t hold the news in any longer.
During a conference call discussing EA’s 3rd quarter financial results, he spilled the beans on what will be music (pun intended) to Wii owners ears, saying:
“In terms of pacing the next few quarters, you’re probably well aware of the more than $2.5 million music downloads that have occurred on Rock Band,”
“What’s probably the most interesting pieces right now is the coming launch on the Wii, the continued sale of the core platforms in North America, and then the fiscal ‘09 launch across Europe against all of the SKU.”

There are a lot of games to play on the Wii. The “N” Project (thenproject.com) suggest a list of ten games we believe merit a closer look.

1) Super Mario Galaxy

2) Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

3) Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock

4) Geometry Wars Galaxies

5) Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles

6) Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barboros’ Treasure

7) Manhunt 2

Trama Center: New Blood

9) Raymond Raving Rabbids 2

10) Boogie

Baroque may be the first Wii game that sparks my interest deeply enough to power on my Wii and play for more than twenty minutes at a time, and for the console that rules the fine art of casual gaming, that’s saying something. The game’s art design alone has been enough to make any mention of it rise above the pack, and an art book is something which I would quite willingly fork over my yen for.

The book goes on sale in Japan on March 13th and weighs in at 40 pages, although no price has been confirmed yet. Play-Asia should have it for sale as soon as it pops up, so keep an eye there if you crave a new tome for the art & anime shelf. As an aside, the translated Famitsu page about the book is titled “The world of time before the large heat wave.

In a sense, I guess everyone does win in December. But the releases sent to us by Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft on December’s NPD data all seem to point to their victories over something, and mostly over each other.
Nintendo proudly proclaims that their Wii and DS ended up being the No. 2 and No. 1 best selling systems in the US for 2007. The DS won, moving 8.5 million units last year; almost half of those were sold in November and December. The Wii sold 6.3 million in 2007, and even with shortages, they still moved 2.3 million in the holiday season. Super Mario Galaxy managed to sell about the same amount (2.5 million) in the same time frame!
Microsoft shamelessly announces that they lead the industry in their release. They actually do when it comes to dollars spent in 2007, with $4.8 billion spent on Xbox 360 this year.

As you all know by now, Super Smash Bros. Brawl has been delayed yet again by about a month in Japan and the USA. As far as the European release goes, we’ve never been given a street date but it seemed quite likely we wouldn’t be seeing hide nor hair of the bloody thing until Summer. Now that there are delays in the countries that Nintendo cares about, we in Europe wonder if we will be affected at all.

Well, Nintendo UK won’t tell us. In fact, when asked about how the recent delays will affect a European release, Nintendo UK would only say that “no European date has ever been announced for Smash Bros.” Well gee, thanks for that, makes us feel special.
Nintendo’s persisting treatment of Europe as if it were a second class citizen has almost become a self-parody.

Everyone remember about a month ago when Nintendo announced their “Everyone’s Nintendo Channel”? It featured videos, interviews, and — seemingly most importantly — DS demos for wireless download. Yeah? Fantastic. Most people, on hearing about “Everyone’s Nintendo Channel” remarked that it was a fairly neat idea, and that it had potential, that being of full DS title downloads.

Those keen eyed oracles of inevitable development are soon to be rewarded with a round of watercooler gloatery, thanks to Reggie Fils-Aime. The New York Times reports the Nintendo exec of stating full DS title download via the Wii is soon to come and further makes mention of a “new DS device” saying specifically, “Mr. Fils-Amie said that future DS device will be more tightly integrated with its Wii console. Complete games as well as game samplers will be able to be downloaded into the Wii using its broadband connection, and then transferred.

We all know that the Wii was (and still is) one of the hottest products of 2007, game or otherwise. It seems that Amazon.com did rather well with the Nintendo console, selling 17 Wii per second when they were in stock.
According to Gamasutra, sales of the Wii were among Amazon’s top selling items of 2007, and it helped to make the year its most profitable one ever. Titles like Super Mario Galaxy and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare also did their part, both being top sellers in its entire video games and hardware division.
Amazon says that on their strongest day, December 10th, customers clicked their way to the tune of 62.5 items per second for a total of 5.4 million items.

Have you been able to find a Wii? Yeah, me neither. Then again, I stopped trying back in August, though after Christmas I’m definitely going to be getting back on the hunt for one, as I am dying to play Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles. Even more than Super Mario Galaxy. It’s no secret to anyone that there is a definite shortage of Wii consoles on the market.
Even though George Harrison (I’ve got my mind set on you…) has said Nintendo is producing 1.8 million consoles a month, Nintendo has simply not been able to meet the demand for the Wii and, according to one analyst, could lose upwards of $1 Billion.
With a ‘B’. Nine zeros after the number one. One billion dollars.
Now thankfully the Wii prints money so Nintendo should survive without too much trouble, however this shortage is really riling up a lot of people.
