WoW Does Wii Board

Phahtrox: Well someone finally did it. The Wii Balance Board is now being used for World of Warcraft...
Check it out!

Phahtrox: It's an interesting idea, but has no practical value...

Madden NFL 09, Family Play "Perfected"

Phahtrox: Well it's been a while; A year to be exact, but I think this one may be the one.

EA basically is basically saying "Trust with this one!", and I believe it. EA says that they've simplified the controls on the Wii...

Phahtrox:Don't walk away!!! Read on!

For starters, All-Play is the new hybrid of advanced (traditional) control and last year's Family Mode. Don't let the "family mode" mention throw you though, as All-Play is a much more entertaining alternative to what was used in 08. Rather than being too dumbed down or Wii-mote only (last year's offering), All-Play actually removes any of the strange oddness that ends up coming with Wii motion, and instead goes for a simpler – but still deep – experience. You'll keep control of your player with the nunchuk, but the game is more arcade-like overall, so general play is a bit faster, there are new optional playbooks make up of simple sets, and all motions are mapped to any direction on the Wii-mote, replacing stiff-arm, juke, spin, and power move with one "evade" action.

So far so good...
So what does this do to your mindset of Madden Wii game's?

Scooger, Homebrew Puzzler

Scogger, Wii homebrew game from WiiNintendo.net
Sorry Wii-Users, this is the only vid I could find...

Scogger for Wii is a porting I made of the “famous” Nintendo DS and PSP game Scogger I wrote a months ago.

The game is almost identical to the original, with same levels (10 random out of 100 avaiable, so each new game you get different levels!), except here you cannot use the stylus for obvious reasons, but it can take advantage of the wiimote!

Download & Installing

Download it, and unpack it. It has two directiories: gamecube and wii.
The Wii version is ready for use with the homebrew channel. Just put the scoggerwii-0.2 directory in the apps directory of your SD card, otherwise boot it with the Twilight Hack or other boot methods.
The Gamecube dol can be booted it using SDLoad or other boot methods.

How to Play
The goal of the game is to make the frog jump over all the tree trunks.
You can use the Gamecube pad, the Wiimote, or the Wiimote d-pad.
The only avaiable direction the frog can move are forward, left and right (no diagonals), with no jump distance limit!
Remember that the frog cannot jump backward, and pressing B on the Wiimote (or A in the Gamecube pad) to restart the level!

Clean the stage to go to the next level (they are 10) or press (+) or START to go to the next one.

This trick is only avaiable if you make the so called “konami trick” (you know what is that, don’t you?) at the titlescreen, (with the exception “B” and “A” button are mapped to (-) and (+) on the Wiimote).

Phahtrox: I won't be doing this, but it sounds fun...

You Like Wii Fit? How About "Wii Move"?

Yea! Another Wii Fit clone!

Phahtrox: W.T.F!?

Well, EA is publishing a WiiWare game, called Wii Move, and is being made by Pherose Soft, a seven person team.
Release Info:

"Wii Move is the first Project from PheroseSoft, a small 7 man team, made up from past members of EA Canada Burnaby and Rockstar North. The game looks to but an unexpected slant on the Wii Balance Board. Look for Wii Move to hit the download service in quarter four 08"

Super Mario RPG Coming to Wii

SMRPG is a classic RPG that has a cult following. The game is made by Square(now Square Enix) and Shigeru Miyamoto(the guy who made Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong, Pikmin and other great Nintendo games).

The game begins with Mario entering Bowser's Castle to rescue Princess Toadstool. During the battle, a giant sword crashes into Bowser’s castle and sends Mario, Peach, and Bowser flying in different directions. Mario finds his way back to the Mushroom Kingdom, where the chancelor insists that Mario recover the princess, then discover the purpose of the giant sword.

Mario leaves the Mushroom Kingdom to aid a new friend of his named Mallow, and when he returns, he finds that the kingdom is overrun by creatures claiming to be part of the Smithy gang. When he defeats them, he finds a mysterious Star Piece. He takes, it, hoping to find out more about it later.

During Mario’s search for the princess, he meets a doll named Geno who is possessed by a star spirit. He tells Mario that the Star Piece is part of the Star Road, where Geno lives. He must find all of the shattered pieces of Star Road in order to repair it, which are held by members of the Smithy gang. Mario agrees to help Geno in his search.

Mario eventually finds Bowser, trying to reassemble his forces; and the princess, as she is about to be forcibly married to a character named Booster. They both join Mario’s party and help look for Star Pieces.

When they have most of the Star Pieces, they learn that the last one is held in Bowser’s Castle. They return to Bowser’s Castle, and discover that the giant sword is a gateway to Smithy’s factory. They confront Smithy in his factory, and defeat him. They then use the Star Pieces to repair Star Road.

Phahtrox: No wonder everyone is excited about this; I am now!

So if you get a Wii Points card, save it for this game.

Blast Works, Great Reveiws, Phahtrox Wrong

Phahtrox: Ok, this, right here, is what I call my crappy game alert. It goes off when I hear/see words like, Super, Awesome, Death, Creatures, Strong and ect. The problem with that is when a good game comes out and has words like that, like Blast Works; I just kinda rub the game out of my mind, just thinking it may suck, but in this case Blast Works, is getting very nice reviews. Now I plan to get it. But I bring this up because I know I'm not the only one who does this. Many upon many gamers do this, and like that Morgan Minute video, Webb says that we are to scared to take chances.

Blast Works came out June 10th, so buy it and/rent it.

-Edit/Update-
Apparently Deadly Creatures, is good too. I hear it's really scary, so defiantly not for kids, which is ironic because I thought it was a children's game...dang it...
