Gaming NDS & Wii Titles Expected: Week of 17th February 2009

[Szyslak]

Nice. Really looking forward to DQV, and I'll probably give Roogoo Attack a try. Once again, I'd probably buy DQV if SE wasn't putting a $10 geek tax on it.

Thanks for spamming up the place Hadrian.

Nice week, nice topic.
DQ V is all I want actually, but it's so good that it makes up for the rest of the sloppy week (IMHO)

 

[Hadrian]

Thanks as always, H. This is the first decent week in some time. One question: What happened to XG Blast last week? Any idea when the new release date is? I was actually looking forward to this unique-looking title.

This week was pretty awesome! Retro Game Challenge & 3 mighty fine Wii games, where have you been the last few days?

XG Blast came out, just that no one has dumped it so far.

Very good week with the retro era titles in their modern incarnations. And a big

to Metroid Prime for finally having functional controls required in a FPS which will bring this title up to the fun level of MP3 where you played on an even playing field and not in gimp mode.

 

[CAMILEonFORLYF]

DQ V, Roogoo attack and shining force

 

[ZenZero]

gonna get MP wen its out here.

Battle rage actually looks good!
bring on the uk release!

 

[SleepingDragon]

You're right, Hadrian. I meant to say first decent DS week in a while. And you're right, Retro Game Challenge is great! Thanks for the info on XG Blast.

 

[BORTZ]

I might have to pick up the dragon quests over this next summer. they look golden.

 

[Exbaddude]

Dragon Quest V! Thanks for posting.

Sounds like an alright week. Don't have a Wii, but I might grab DQ5. Random question, what happened to that Space RPG fly around in a ship dealie? Did that come out, or was it pushed back? Was really looking forward to that game.

There you go, I think that was the game you were talking about. Maybe someone here would like to dump it, give something back to the scene? It's pretty cheap for £14 on play.com. Had some decent enough reviews, mostly 7's.

I'm anxiously waiting to hear about next week, Hadri-poo

I was looking at some video game magazine at the news stand today and they had a March releases calendar... holy crap, March will be so amazing for the DS.

Good games on the DS next week:

North America:
02/24 Blue Dragon Plus
Legacy of Ys: Books I & II
Puzzle Quest: Galactrix
02/27 Peggle Dual Shot

Japan:
Shining Force Feather
Retro Game Challenge 2

 

[AtomicBlue]

I'm pretty anxious to see how Blue Dragon for the DS is gonna be.

 

[War]

Shouldn't this be un-stickied since the week has passed?

Infinite line/ Space? i Dont know. I was looking forward to that too.

 

[Nope]

Hum, so as far as European release that isn't "any worth" one of them did catch my eye

Lola & Virginia

seemingly a random game based on a license... but

here

mentions what seems to be pony of magical love and doom!
and

a translation of that website says that the story is nonsensical! Well, sure the image of Carrie in blood caught my attention, but anyone has more info on this perhaps "special" jewel?
