I remember when the Wii was first launched a game was previewed in which you were armed with a flash-light and had to fend off insects. Does anyone remember this game and what became of it? I can't track anything down...

In Japan it was called Necro-Nesia, elsewhere it was called Escape from Bug Island.

The Japanese version was deemed awful so Eidos, who were working on the localisation decided to make it better. They made the controls better and a few other things (apparently) but the game I played was also awful so god knows how bad the Japanese version was.

Not worth playing at all but if you're after a decent survival horror game then try Cursed Mountain.

Or you can wait for Silent hill shattered memories. I think thats a little bit closer to the game your thinking of.

Necro-nesia! That's the one! Thanks alot.

How did Cursed Mountain end up? I remember watching the first trailer ages ago but it didn't really grab me, I am so keen for Shattered Memories though.

cursed mountain isnt the best but it is worth playing. I believe its scarier than resident evil ...just not very hard to play. I think the rating it got was a little lower than it deserves. Awesome graphics for most wii games. Havent finished it quite yet...almost.

    @Psionic Roshambo, The Wii U gamepads are tied to the console's region, so its impossible to find a cheap gamepad that supports your model.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Unless you modify your system, of course, and remove the region check.

    @Xdqwerty can we discuss chrono trigger
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @Xdqwerty I like how the game had the middle ages 1000AD, the dark ages 600AD.It was great seeing the post robot apocalypse 2300 like Terminator and enter the matrix. some of mad max and fallout. 2300ad though it could had used more elements instead of just a generic ai uprising. It was a great idea for their judgement day to be 1999 Y2K.

    -great additions if they would have made an expansion or dlc in my opinion would be finding out humans trapped in a matrix -

    a follower having a cyborg character living tissue over metal endoskelleton like terminator, and the synths from fallout
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    4After Zeal fell it would have been good to see more ancient eras. Perhaps Sumeria based in one area, then Egypt based in another area, Greek based in another area, then roman based in another area before the middle ages.---------

    ----between 1000ad and 1999 is a big gap they should have had the age of revolution like the american and French Revolution

    then the cowboyy era in one area of map and the Industrial revolution/age of enlightmentthen a ww1 and ww2 and a cold war era
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    they could have added 75,000 bc like assassins creed. zeal was already establish in 12, 000 bc , soething before the kindom rose
