A small teaser video for a Wii prototype by a Danish indie team seeking a publisher. I can’t find any other information about the company or the game. The obvious comparison for me is to Cloud… and also Pilotwings! But it’s hard to tell what there is to do other than float and roll around (the big insect at the end was cool, though).

Tumiki Fighters, Kenta Cho’s toy block shmup that lets you attach your defeated enemies to you Katamari-style to increase your firepower, is purportedly hitting the Wii:
”...recently Tumiki Fighters appeared in a retailer’s database with Majesco as the publisher. This could be a Wii-make of Tumiki Fighters or the other (dismal!) possibility is that it’s an all new game that’s using the same name.”
For Linux and Mac ports of this lovely game, check out its Wikipedia entry.

According to this article, the following statement (Stolen directly from the article in question) is true.
“Nintendo has developed a programming system that will allow small independent developers to make games for Wii download service.
“We cannot confirm at this time in what format the new content will be delivered, but in the future there will be original games available for download through the Wii Shop.”
Is there perhaps an XNA competitor on the horizon from Nintendo? One can only hope so.

Well, it was only a matter of time before someone made a game for the PC that’s compatible with the hacked Wii-Mote. Colocoro is such a game, and like lots of Wii games; it’s very simplistic, and quite a bit of fun.
The goal of each level is to deliver your ball to the blue exit. It all sounds fairly simple and easy, until you realize that you need to bump, rotate, and move the playfield. Warps and enemies also try to ruin your day.
I haven’t gotten a change to play with a Wii-Mote sadly, but from what I’ve been seeing, it works flawlessly and adds a lot of fun. At less than a 1 meg download, there’s really no reason not to give this fun little game a try, even if you don’t plan on hacking your Wii-Mote. (There’s mouse control too).

Cult Flash hit Line Rider has been acquired by InXile Entertainment (The Bard’s Tale) to be published, with “new added features,” for the Nintendo DS and Nintendo Wii videogame consoles, with an anticipated launch date of Spring 2007.
No, really!
Now, what does this mean for linerider.org? I don’t know. The new official Line Rider site is tagged up and down with InXile’s logo, displays their copyright on the bottom, and features an entire section dedicated to don’t screw with us legal jive. Though, in actuality, they probably don’t got the stones to shut down such a massive community. Particularly one they plan to milk dry.
I wonder just how much Mr. Cadež got for this deal. I hope InXile didn’t pull a Platypus.

Wiicade is a relatively new arrival, boasting games that supposedly mesh well with the recently 
released Nintendo Wii.
You see the clinical analysis in that previous sentence? I make myself shiver sometimes.
What is Wiicade? A site to host Flash games designed for the Wii apparently. Not owning a Wii (I’ve been persuaded by a friend to wait until the rush is over, damn him) I can’t say whether the games are fun or not on the console, but on the computer most are fairly lack-luster. Ellipsis was fairly fun, and I expect Scribble, a fast-paced connect-the-dots game, may have more appeal on a TV with the Wii controller than on a computer with a mouse.
Really, I probably shouldn’t be passing any judgments at all since I can’t say whether this is worth playing or not. Go go TIGSource swarm, we’re counting on you.
