As you can see in the video above, it has a very charming artistic style and looks to offer the same kind of fun found in other casual titles such as <a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2007/08/09/cooking-mama-to-bake-on-the-wii-again/"><em>Cooking Mama</em></a>.<br /><br />Anyone liking what they see here?

Well, releasing just shortly after the movie is <a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/02/indy-stars-in-new-trailer-opens-his-own-section-of-internet-to/">a <em>LEGO </em>title</a> that covers the first three movies.

A pretty darn funny video, if you ask us, so give it a chance. It has direct references to <em><a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/search/?q=super+mario+bros">Super Mario Bros</a>.</em>, <a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2007/04/30/rumor-starfox-64-update-restores-historically-accurate-slowdown/"><em>StarFox</em></a> and even <a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2007/12/10/vc-monday-madness-video-wrap-up-12-10-07/"><em>Pokemon Snap</em></a>.

<div align="left"><br />Hey there, pretty people -- you might be interested in hearing the latest news about Telltale's upcoming WiiWare series, <a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/04/11/nms08-strong-bads-cool-trailers-for-attractive-people/" style="font-style: italic;">Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People</a>. As for the rest of you uglies, just movie on -- there's nothing to see here. (If you're perusing Wii Fanboy, you're clearly hot stuff, so don't worry and read on.)<br /><br />Telltale reports that the first episode of the game, titled "Homestar Ruiner," centers around Strong Bad's desire to pummel Homestar Runner. He then decides that the best way to beat his rival would be to defeat him in the tri-annual Race to the End of the Race.<br /><br />You can check out the video of "Homestar Ruiner" above, although it doesn't show too much gameplay. Occasionally, it looks like you have to choose something from a thought bubble in order to progress the story, but often there's only one item to choose from. Joystiq <a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/04/15/nms08-joystiq-gets-their-hands-dirty-with-wiiware/"><em>did</em> report</a> that the demo for <span style="font-style: italic;">SBCG4AP</span> was pretty linear, but hopefully the episode in its entirety will have more to offer.<br /><br />We've also added some new game screens to our gallery, which feature some beloved characters from the Homestar Runner-verse, so be sure to check them out.<br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People</strong></p><a href="http://"www.nintendowiifanboy.com"/photos/strong-bads-cool-game-for-attractive-people-1/806500/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.nintendowiifanboy.com/media/2008/05/nwf_0514_strongbad6_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://"www.nintendowiifanboy.com"/photos/strong-bads-cool-game-for-attractive-people-1/806499/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.nintendowiifanboy.com/media/2008/05/nwf_0514_strongbad5_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://"www.nintendowiifanboy.com"/photos/strong-bads-cool-game-for-attractive-people-1/806498/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.nintendowiifanboy.com/media/2008/05/nwf_0514_strongbad4_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://"www.nintendowiifanboy.com"/photos/strong-bads-cool-game-for-attractive-people-1/806497/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.nintendowiifanboy.com/media/2008/05/nwf_0514_strongbad3_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://"www.nintendowiifanboy.com"/photos/strong-bads-cool-game-for-attractive-people-1/806496/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.nintendowiifanboy.com/media/2008/05/nwf_0514_strongbad2_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br />[Via press release; also, thanks fco!] </div>

This video of <em>Mad World</em> is not <em>technically</em> confirmation since it could be a total fake, but it sure looks real -- and it <em>sure</em> is getting taken down from Youtube and Gametrailers with alarming speed.<br /><br /><em>Mad World</em> is a bloody, futuristic action game that looks (from the blurry video) more like a brawler than the kind of operatic sword maneuvering we know from <em>Devil May Cry</em>. We hate to mention it <em>again</em> (because we always do when talking about Clover), but it evokes a futuristic, <em>really bloody</em> <em>God Hand.</em> <br /><br />It looks like we were wrong about one of the rumors, by the way: <em>Bayonetta</em> is a PS3 game (if any of this is real), and not a Wii game.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="0" align="middle" alt="" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.nintendowiifanboy.com/media/2008/05/madworld-screen051308.jpg" /><br /></div>
The video begins with the caption "CHAINSAW," followed by a beefy guy in metallic, future-armor putting a chainsaw through another guy. There's a high-contrast, almost black-and-white look to the visuals. The video then cuts to "ROSE BUSH" and our hero pushes an enemy into an array of horizontal spikes. Then "HEART SURGERY" and a Kano/Mola Ram heart-ripping maneuver. The character walks toward the camera as a list of wrestling-esque move names fills the screen: "Flat Tire," "Spike Press," "Death Express," and others. Then the logo appears ("World" is inside a chainsaw blade shape). The video ends with the caption "CAUTION SIGN" followed by a clip of a guy being beaten with a sign.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/05/13/see-first-vids-of-platinums-madworld-and-bayonetta/">Joystiq</a>]<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://www.dailymotion.com/cluster/videogames/video/x5eqzj_madworldplatinumgamesultraviolentwi_videogames>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/13/its-a-mad-world-of-leaked-video-from-platinum-games/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/forward/1194152/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/13/its-a-mad-world-of-leaked-video-from-platinum-games/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><br />]]></description><category>action</category><category>clover</category><category>mad-world</category><category>platinum-games</category><category>sega</category><dc:creator>JC Fletcher</dc:creator><dc:date>2008-05-13T13:15:00 00:00</dc:date></item><item><title>Get to know EA's Facebreakers</title><link>http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/11/get-to-know-eas-facebreakers/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/11/get-to-know-eas-facebreakers/</guid><comments>http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/11/get-to-know-eas-facebreakers/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/category/video/" rel="tag">Video</a></p><div align="center"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" id="gtembed" width="425" height="347">	<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" /> 	<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /> <param name="movie" value="http://www.gametrailers.com/remote_wrap.php?mid=33345"/> <param name="quality" value="high" /> <embed src="http://www.gametrailers.com/remote_wrap.php?mid=33345" swLiveConnect="true" name="gtembed" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="true" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="347"></embed> </object></div>

The latest slew of videos feature some "getting to know you" segments with two characters in the game, who are, in a word, <em>strange</em>. It's these quirky characters that make <em>Facebreaker</em> stand out from some of the other <a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/tag/boxing">boxing games</a> on the Wii, though.<br /><br />The trailer above shows Romeo, who looks even scarier when he's washing a car than when he's boxing.

Seeing this trailer for the original 2005 PC game which the WiiWare release will be a remake of, however, has given us a new hope. This looks about a <em>hojillion</em> times more exciting than the clips IGN trotted out for us to preview!<br /><br />Further improving our opinion of <em>Prot&ouml;thea</em>, the original PC game was Cartoon Network's Project Goldmaster winner at the 2005 Independent Games Festival, rewarding developer Digital Builders an opportunity to create a game based on a Cartoon Network license. Knowing all this, maybe the screenshots in the gallery we've included below will seem more interesting to you.<br /><br /><em>Prot&ouml;thea</em> was supposed to launch with WiiWare, according to IGN, but we didn't see the title on the <a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/10/nintendo-reveals-wiiware-launch-list/">list posted earlier today</a>, so who knows when the <a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/tag/shmup/">shmup</a> will be thrown onto Nintendo's download service. While we wait around for someone to announce a release date, spend a moment to leave us a comment on whether or not this trailer has changed your opinion on the game. <br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: Protothea</strong></p><a href="http://"www.nintendowiifanboy.com"/photos/protothea/799149/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.nintendowiifanboy.com/media/2008/05/05102008-protothea-06_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://"www.nintendowiifanboy.com"/photos/protothea/799148/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.nintendowiifanboy.com/media/2008/05/05102008-protothea-02_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://"www.nintendowiifanboy.com"/photos/protothea/799147/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.nintendowiifanboy.com/media/2008/05/05102008-protothea-07_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://"www.nintendowiifanboy.com"/photos/protothea/799146/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.nintendowiifanboy.com/media/2008/05/05102008-protothea-08_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://"www.nintendowiifanboy.com"/photos/protothea/799145/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.nintendowiifanboy.com/media/2008/05/05102008-protothea-03_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br />[Via <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25792657@N00/sets/72157604919386245/">GoNintendo</a>]<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/10/protothea-might-not-be-terrible/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/forward/1188201/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/10/protothea-might-not-be-terrible/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><br />]]></description><category>argentina</category><category>digital-builders</category><category>mehware</category><category>pc</category><category>protothea</category><category>remake</category><category>sabarasa</category><category>shmup</category><category>trailer</category><category>ubisoft</category><dc:creator>Eric Caoili</dc:creator><dc:date>2008-05-10T18:00:00 00:00</dc:date></item><item><title>Mind over Mutant has Wii focus</title><link>http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/08/mind-over-mutant-has-wii-focus/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/08/mind-over-mutant-has-wii-focus/</guid><comments>http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/08/mind-over-mutant-has-wii-focus/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/category/video/" rel="tag">Video</a></p><div align="center"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" id="gtembed" width="425" height="347">	<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" /> 	<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /> <param name="movie" value="http://www.gametrailers.com/remote_wrap.php?mid=33669"/> <param name="quality" value="high" /> <embed src="http://www.gametrailers.com/remote_wrap.php?mid=33669" swLiveConnect="true" name="gtembed" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="true" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="347"></embed> </object></div>
<br />Reading <a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/04/29/joystiq-checks-out-crash-bandicoot/">favorable impressions</a> from the Joystiq crew about<em> Crash Bandicoot: Mind over Mutant </em>helped put the game onto our selective radars. Watching this video, which features the game's senior producer Kristen Forbes, then got us even more intrigued. <br /><br />Forbes points out a lot of issues that bug Wii gamers to no end -- the lack of commitment to the Wii's graphical capabilities, for one, and unnecessary waggle, for another. If the next <em>Crash</em> iteration can really fix these problems, though, we'll definitely be looking forward to the game's release this fall.<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/08/mind-over-mutant-has-wii-focus/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/forward/1189212/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/08/mind-over-mutant-has-wii-focus/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><br />]]></description><category>crash-bandicoot</category><category>kristen-forbes</category><category>mind-over-mutant</category><category>platformer</category><category>radical</category><category>radical-entertainment</category><category>sierra</category><category>sierra-entertainment</category><dc:creator>Candace Savino</dc:creator><dc:date>2008-05-08T18:00:00 00:00</dc:date></item><item><title>Behind the scenes with Mushroom Men</title><link>http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/08/behind-the-scenes-with-mushroom-men/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/08/behind-the-scenes-with-mushroom-men/</guid><comments>http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/08/behind-the-scenes-with-mushroom-men/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/category/video/" rel="tag">Video</a></p><div align="center"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"  codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" id="gtembed" width="425" height="347">	<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" /> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /> <param name="movie" value="http://www.gametrailers.com/remote_wrap.php?mid=33562"/> <param name="quality" value="high" /> <embed src="http://www.gametrailers.com/remote_wrap.php?mid=33562" swLiveConnect="true" name="gtembed" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="true" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="347"></embed> </object><br /></div>
We may be limited to sporadic updates from Red Fly Studio's <a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/03/07/new-mushroom-men-trailer-sprouts/"><em>Mushroom Men</em></a>, but they're usually worth the wait. Today, we've got a little quality time with the <a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/03/18/wii-fanboy-interview-red-fly-studio-mushroom-men/">developers</a>, who sound just as excited about working on their project as we are about playing it. They also manage to work in a little humor, which we're also big fans of around here. <br /><br />The game footage included looks as great as ever, and Q4 is looking further and further away.

He thinks game blogs are a waste of time and their bloggers are "losers," citing that he could care less about video games overall, even though he has a pretty lengthy segment on his show about them (we imagine he's had other gaming-related topics on his show, but we steer clear of shows with hosts on power trips). We can only imagine what this implies about you, the reader, who spends their time keeping current on the industry news with us.<br /><br />It honestly cracks us up, because not only is he calling us losers and pretty much saying video games aren't worth his effort, but he's being such a toolbox as to say his supposed opinions <em>during</em> a video game segment on his show. You tell us what is worse, fine readers: a person who blogs about something they're passionate about, or a guy on TV who talks about what his producers say are the day's hot topics and blatantly shows no regard for the subject matter?<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://gonintendo.com/?p=42182">Go Nintendo</a>]<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKFpwWdpl_U>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/07/glenn-beck-doesnt-like-game-bloggers-too-much/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/forward/1188149/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/07/glenn-beck-doesnt-like-game-bloggers-too-much/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><br />]]></description><category>blog</category><category>bloggers</category><category>bloggers-are-losers</category><category>blogosphere</category><category>gaming</category><category>glenn-beck</category><dc:creator>David Hinkle</dc:creator><dc:date>2008-05-07T23:00:00 00:00</dc:date></item><item><title>Zero Punctuation reviews fanboys</title><link>http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/07/zero-punctuation-reviews-fanboys/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/07/zero-punctuation-reviews-fanboys/</guid><comments>http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/07/zero-punctuation-reviews-fanboys/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/category/video/" rel="tag">Video</a></p><div style="text-align: center;"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="0" alt="" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.nintendowiifanboy.com/media/2008/05/zp-chris-brawl-comeback-main999999.jpg" /><br /></div>
<br />Were you one of the easily offended, outraged souls who took umbrage with Zero Punctuation's <a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/04/23/zero-punctuation-has-zero-tolerance-for-brawl/">more-than-scathing review</a> of <span style="font-style: italic;">Super Smash Bros.

That's right: rather than dedicating this week's <a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/tag/zero-punctuation">Zero Punctuation</a> to the usual misanthropic, ranting reviews that we love so much, Yahtzee has answered the numerous critics of his <a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/tag/smash-bros-brawl"><span style="font-style: italic;">Brawl</span></a> review, which attracted over a thousand comments on the Escapist's site (and <a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/04/23/zero-punctuation-has-zero-tolerance-for-brawl/#comments">quite a few</a> on here).<br /><br />Hit the break for the full, <span style="font-weight: bold;">NSFW</span> version, and prepare yourself for a chilling insight into the minds of the most irrational fanboys.<br /><br />

When Stephen Colbert came <a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/01/miyamoto-is-your-time-person-of-the-year/">third in the Time 100 poll</a>, we pretty much knew that he wasn't going to be happy. Of course, as is his style, he takes quite a bit of time to lash out against Korean pop star Rain, his new arch-nemesis. But, Colbert also takes a jab at gaming icon (and winner of said poll) <a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/search/?q=shigeru+miyamoto">Shigeru Miyamoto</a>, who <a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/04/11/miyamoto-nominated-again-for-time-100/">you helped</a> skyrocket to the top of the rankings.<br /><br />Check past the break where we've embedded the video of Colbert attacking the gaming legend.<br /><br /><center><embed width="332" height="316" align="middle" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allownetworking="external" allowscriptaccess="always" name="comedy_central_player" bgcolor="#cccccc" quality="high" src="http://www.comedycentral.com/sitewide/video_player/view/default/swf.jhtml" flashvars="videoId=167580"></embed></center><h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/06/we-told-you-colbert-mocks-miyamoto/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/forward/1187405/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/06/we-told-you-colbert-mocks-miyamoto/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><br />]]></description><category>colbert</category><category>donkey-kong</category><category>miyamoto</category><category>shigeru-miyamoto</category><category>stephen-colbert</category><dc:creator>David Hinkle</dc:creator><dc:date>2008-05-06T15:00:00 00:00</dc:date></item><item><title>'Catch' criminals, 'rescue' patients by running them over</title><link>http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/06/catch-criminals-rescue-patients-by-running-them-over/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/06/catch-criminals-rescue-patients-by-running-them-over/</guid><comments>http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/06/catch-criminals-rescue-patients-by-running-them-over/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/category/video/" rel="tag">Video</a></p><center><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"  codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" id="gtembed" width="425" height="347">	<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" /> 	<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /> <param name="movie" value="http://www.gametrailers.com/remote_wrap.php?mid=33580"/> <param name="quality" value="high" /> <embed src="http://www.gametrailers.com/remote_wrap.php?mid=33580" swLiveConnect="true" name="gtembed" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="true" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="347"></embed> </object></center><br />We weren't expecting much from <em><a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/tag/emergency-mayhem">Emergency Mayhem</a></em>, a <em>Crazy Taxi</em>-styled emergency services title peppered with minigames, but these video previews for the police car and ambulance modes look really fun! For a game with such a distressing past -- having been announced and canceled for the Xbox and PlayStation 2 in 2004, exchanging <a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/tag/codemasters">publishers</a> and developers several times since -- we wouldn't have been surprised if this turned out to be a wreck.<br /><br />Though <a href="http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/wii/emergencymayhem">reviews</a> haven't been kind to <em>Emergency Mayhem</em> (the game hits stores this week), we think the minigames look like a good break from all the high-speed chases and siren-whining. You can defuse bombs, administer CPR, and even help someone cough out a fly. According to these two clips, you can also get some sort of bonus by running over criminals and patients. When that gets old, you can add spice to your emergency duties by crashing into crowds of pedestrians without consequence.<br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: Emergency Mayhem</strong></p><a href="http://"www.nintendowiifanboy.com"/photos/emergency-mayhem/710879/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.nintendowiifanboy.com/media/2008/03/62711520080319_221802_27_big_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://"www.nintendowiifanboy.com"/photos/emergency-mayhem/710878/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.nintendowiifanboy.com/media/2008/03/62711520080319_221801_25_big_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://"www.nintendowiifanboy.com"/photos/emergency-mayhem/710877/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.nintendowiifanboy.com/media/2008/03/62711520080319_221801_24_big_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://"www.nintendowiifanboy.com"/photos/emergency-mayhem/710876/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.nintendowiifanboy.com/media/2008/03/62711520080319_221800_23_big_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://"www.nintendowiifanboy.com"/photos/emergency-mayhem/710875/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.nintendowiifanboy.com/media/2008/03/62711520080319_221800_22_big_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br /><center><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"  codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" id="gtembed" width="425" height="347">	<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" /> 	<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /> <param name="movie" value="http://www.gametrailers.com/remote_wrap.php?mid=33577"/> <param name="quality" value="high" /> <embed src="http://www.gametrailers.com/remote_wrap.php?mid=33577" swLiveConnect="true" name="gtembed" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="true" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="347"></embed> </object></center><h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/06/catch-criminals-rescue-patients-by-running-them-over/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/forward/1187606/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/06/catch-criminals-rescue-patients-by-running-them-over/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><br />]]></description><category>acclaim</category><category>codemasters</category><category>crazy-taxi</category><category>driving</category><category>emergency-mayhem</category><category>minigame</category><category>supersonic-software</category><dc:creator>Eric Caoili</dc:creator><dc:date>2008-05-06T12:45:00 00:00</dc:date></item><item><title>MehWare: Ubisoft reveals Protothea</title><link>http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/06/mehware-ubisoft-reveals-protothea/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/06/mehware-ubisoft-reveals-protothea/</guid><comments>http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/06/mehware-ubisoft-reveals-protothea/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/category/video/" rel="tag">Video</a>, <a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/category/wiiware/" rel="tag">WiiWare</a></p><center><embed width="425" height="354" src="http://videomedia.ign.com/ev/ev.swf" flashvars="object_ID=14230287&amp;downloadURL=http://wiimovies.ign.com/wii/video/article/871/871729/prototheawii2_flvlow.flv&amp;allownetworking=" all="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></center><br /><a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/tag/Ubisoft/">Ubisoft</a> has finally announced its first contribution to Nintendo's forthcoming WiiWare service, and it's a remake of 2005 PC shooter <span style="font-style: italic;">Prot&ouml;thea.</span> Supposedly, there are a lot of additions, but whatever Argentine developers Sabarasa (<a href="http://www.dsfanboy.com/tag/mazes-of-fate">Mazes of Fate</a>) and Digital Builders added, it hasn't made the game interesting.<br /><br />It's not just the laggard enemies and humdrum soundtrack that have us yawning -- even the heads-up display is enough to put SHMUP fans to sleep.

Behold <em>Metroid: SR388</em>.<br /><br />We always have mixed feelings about <a href="http://www.dsfanboy.com/2008/03/20/fan-remake-of-metroid-ii-is-not-only-awesome-but-also-playable/">sharing fanmade renditions</a> of Nintendo IPs with readers. On the one hand, it would be a shame if things this awesome were kept hush hush, but on the other hand, should the buzz get too loud we know Nintendo won't hesitate to squash the project. In any case, since <em>SR388's</em> creator Von Richter <a href="http://mdb.classicgaming.gamespy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=871">is promoting the digg link</a>, we're going to absolve ourselves from such moral dilemmas and spread the love.<br /><br />The trailer makes this game look like a 2D Metroid reimagining rather than a remake based on any particular title, although some sprites (like Samus's) were clearly ripped. Between the music, original enemies, and intriguing new weapons and abilities, this fanmake has us licking our lips in anticipation. Hopefully we'll get to try it out before Nintendo comes knocking with a cease and desist, should that happen.<br /><br />Fortunately, progress on the game seems to be going quickly. According to Von Richter himself, this trailer (which was released at the end of April) is already out of date.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=11041098&amp;postcount=1">NeoGAF</a>]<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/05/reimagine-metroid-in-2d/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/forward/1186642/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/05/reimagine-metroid-in-2d/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><br />]]></description><category>2d</category><category>fanmade</category><category>metroid</category><category>metroid-sr388</category><category>sr388</category><category>von-richter</category><dc:creator>Candace Savino</dc:creator><dc:date>2008-05-05T20:00:00 00:00</dc:date></item><item><title>LostWinds trailer blows this way, makes us sleepy</title><link>http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/05/lostwinds-trailer-blows-this-way-makes-us-sleepy/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/05/lostwinds-trailer-blows-this-way-makes-us-sleepy/</guid><comments>http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/05/lostwinds-trailer-blows-this-way-makes-us-sleepy/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/category/video/" rel="tag">Video</a>, <a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/category/wiiware/" rel="tag">WiiWare</a></p><div align="center"><embed width="425" height="360" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" all="" flashvars="object_ID=14236589&amp;downloadURL=http://wiimovies.ign.com/wii/video/article/871/871298/lostwinds_050208_flvlowwide.flv&amp;allownetworking=" src="http://videomedia.ign.com/ev/ev.swf"></embed><br /></div>

We quite appreciate an occasional change of pace, and could comfortably drift off to sleep simply while <span style="font-style: italic;">listening</span> to this trailer (were it not for our ferocious superiors, who routinely patrol the Wii Fanboy dungeon, watching for napping bloggers).<br /><br />Wikipedia has <span style="font-style: italic;">LostWinds</span> down as a <a href="http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/02/20/wii-ware-and-wii-fit-dated-for-may/">WiiWare launch</a> release, though the <a href="http://www.frontier.co.uk/games/lostwinds">official site</a> is still displaying TBA.
