Donkey Kong Country Returns - preview video



This game basically looks like it's going to bring back that magic of the SNES games. With some personal that were working with Rare now working with Retro, I'm confident that the feel of the game will be as close to the originals as possible while adding new things along the way.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 - more Wii gameplay videos



Have you guys been able to pick this game up yet? I haven't had a chance myself but I will be very shortly and let you know how it is. It looks extremely smooth and fun though. I'm looking forward to cutting some Empire foes.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 - new gameplay video



This game looks a lot more improved over the first in just about every way. It has a clean look with nice particles and lighting. You can tell that it's not a down port of the HD consoles but more like an exclusive Wii game. Very nice.

Sonic Colors - new trailer


Another nice looking trailer for this latest 3D Sonic game. There has been one good Sonic game so far this year with Sonic 4 and hopefully Sega can get a 3D Sonic game to actually be good also. I'm not getting my hopes way up or anything, but I am looking forward to trying it out.

Goldeneye Wii - new behind the scenes video



It's nice to see that they really went the extra mile with this game. The faces look very lifelike with their expressions. The motion capture looks very nice as well. Only a few more weeks until you'll be blasting your buddies on your couch for change!

The Last Story - new trailer



This is the second amazing trailer for this highly anticipated game. I'm extremely impressed that the real-time cut-scenes and CGI are very close to each other in terms of the look of them, you almost can't tell the difference! I'm still at a loss as to what a real Wii game is supposed to look like these days. The Wii has been so watered down over the past 4 years with bad efforts and PS2 ports that it can be easy to forget that the system can actually be used to make games look really good with the right amount of care and development resources. This game is proof that the Wii can in fact do better graphically than people think. Of course by 2011 not many will care.

Sonic the Hedgehog 4 - video review


Some people have had issue with this game not having the exact kind of control/movement as the original games, but for me I think it's very fun and is a much needed breath of fresh air to the 3D Sonic games that we've been playing for over 10 years. It's not perfect but it is definitely entertaining and fun.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 - Wii preview



All I can say is.....Finally. It was about time we saw an in-depth Wii preview of this highly anticipated game.

Main Wii version differences from HD versions:

Same story as HD versions but completely different levels and gameplay.
Force Rage
Force Sight
Use Wii remote cursor/sensor to pick up objects/eneimes with the force and flick Wii remote to throw them.
Tap A button for regular Light Saber attacks followed by Wii remote motions for special attacks/finishers similar to No More Heroes.
4-player simultaneous multi-player vs. mode similar to Smash Bros.

I think that these differences make the Wii version different enough to warrant purchasing both versions of the game. I've see the HD versions a lot and it's nice to see that the Wii version is going to hold it's own just fine in comparison.

Donkey Kong Country Returns - new screens













This game looks amazing, all the nostalgia mixed with the new game and nice graphics will hopefully make this almost as successful as New Super Mario Bros. Wii. I really like that art as well, Retro has some really talented artists on their team. I can't wait to play this one.

Conduit 2 - Debut Trailer



This game looks very much like the first one, which is very disappointing if you ask me. It looks flat, uninspired and just unprofessional. High Voltage looks like an ametur game developer when you look at Goldeneye in comparison; the reason is that Activision has been making FPS games for a long time and know what they are doing and in Goldeneye the tech they are using is probably not as good as the Conduit 2 but the game still looks better. Go figure. I'm still not impressed by this though.

Sonic the Hedgehog 4 - Wii footage



I showed you some PS3 footage before but here is the Wii version finally. It looks exactly the same as the other versions minus the HD but it still looks great if you ask me. I will be playing this soon, but it seems like the good old Sonic we used to know.

Goldeneye Wii - new demo video



Looks great. I really like the destructible environments also. Interactivity with the environment is always something that I like in games.

Sonic the Hedgehog 4 - new footage



This is from the PS3 version of the game, but it will look identical on the Wii minus the HD of course. How are you guys feeling about Sonic returning to his roots and actually being Sonic again?

Goldeneye Wii - Snow level video



Wow is a one word I'd describe about this video. The graphics are much better than I was expecting. Fantastic.

NBA JAM Wii - video review


I'm playing the game like crazy right now and it's a blast! I definitely suggest picking this one up regardless if it has online or not.

Goldeneye Wii - new demo video



You gotta love Paintball mode eh? I'm very impressed at how well the 4-player split screen runs on the Wii without sacrificing too much performance. It looks like there will be no shortage of modes to modify either. Can we finally bring back game night with our friends at home?

Kirby's Epic Yarn - Rocket Toss Trailer


A very unique game no doubt. I especially like the very end of the trailer where it shows Kirby unwinding all the yarn from the head of that boss. It just looks like a very fresh experience worth playing.

Sonic Colors - new screens







Everyone says that this Sonic game will feature everything that was good about Unleashed without the Wolf sections. So far it looks like they might be right and as I remember, those parts of Unleashed were really fun. Let's just hope for a decent game, I'm not really asking for much from Sonic these days.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Swords - new screens






The areas shown seem to be exactly the same as the E3 demo/trailer with some new angles. The game seems to look a tad darker in the color palette too which can be a good thing. This game won't be coming out until next year but you can be sure that it's farther along development wise than Nintendo is letting be known.
