Trauma Center: New sale

Posted Apr 17th 2008 3:00PM by Candace Savino
Filed under: Sales

Is it us, or has Amazon been a great place for Nintendo shoppers lately?

In any case, today's "Deal of the Day" is Trauma Center: New Blood, the most recent (until July 1st!) Trauma Center game on the market. If Atlus decides to bring the series back to the DS for good, this may be the last time you get to operate with your Wiimote.

The deal also provides pretty decent savings, as the game is marked down by $17 (meaning it will cost you $32.99). Is anyone planning on getting this today? If so, just make sure you order it before 3am EDT.

Trauma Center: New Blood, Old Sale

Filed under: Sales

A few of you expressed disappointment about missing out on this Trauma Center: New Blood deal when we posted the sale last December, but it's back, listed on Amazon for $29.99 (free shipping, naturally). Everyone deserves a second chance!

Once again, the online shop will pull that bargain price at midnight tonight or whenever its stock runs out, so don't put off your purchase for too long -- didn't you learn anything from the last time this happened? It's not like there are many other surgery sims with a co-op mode out there, anyway.

Another week in Japan: Hardware and software numbers 1/14-1/20

Filed under: Another Week in ...

We already know that the Wii is doing well in Japan. How has the hardware and software been shaping up against other consoles and games, though? Let's take a look at last week's sales to find out.

The Wii continues to flip-flop positions with the PSP, this time ending up on the more favorable side of the coin. Regaining the second place spot with 76,000 units sold, the Wii only dropped 6,000 units from last week's numbers.

Wii software continues to do well, too -- at least concerning "Wii" and "Mario" games. Wii Fit sales in Japan were even greater than DS handheld sales. Super Mario Galaxy also ended up back in the top ten, in part because of consistent sales, and in part because a few DS games lost steam.

Some other Wii games didn't make the top of the charts, like Trauma Center: New Blood (which sold 3,100 copies last week in its debut).

Check out the actual sales numbers and rankings for hardware and software after the break.

Pick up Trauma Center: New Blood, stat!

Filed under: News

It's rare to see a quality game receive such a drastic discount only three weeks after its release, so we advise you to take advantage of this particular bargain now -- Trauma Center: New Blood for $29.99 at Amazon (free shipping). This deal expires at the end of the day, but the online shop's stock probably won't last that long. If you are at all interested in this sequel to Atlus' surgery sim or just want a fun co-op experience, snatch it now, as we don't expect the game to deviate much from its usual $49.99 price again for months.

Trauma Center Tuesday, brought to you on Wednesday (cause we're rebels like that)

Posted Nov 14th 2007 3:10PM by Candace Savino
Filed under: News, Video

Yesterday marked the last Trauma Center Tuesday before New Blood's release next week, and that means Atlus had more surgical goodies for us. The most notable treat this week was the video of the game's introduction, which we posted above for your viewing pleasure. Aren't we just the best?

Normally we wouldn't go all ga-ga over a game's opening (okay, well sometimes we do), but this is one of the best we've seen. The art, the effects, the music, and everything about this introduction makes us weak in the knees. It was like watching the opening to a TV show ... er, if TV show openings were actually good and made us want to cut people open.

Atlus, you sly dogs, now you have us looking deeper into our wallets during this video game glut, hoping that we can stretch them enough to pick up your game next week. Does anyone else feel our pain?

On a side note, you should check out the ridiculous poem Atlus sent us that's posted after the break. Atlus, stick to making video games and not poetry, okay?

Fast, frenetic two-player action in New Blood

Ever since Trauma Center: New Blood was announced, it seems we're awash in videos from the forthcoming title, but really, who can complain? This latest shows off some of the cooperative play, and by "some of," we mean an entire operation. Looks like nothing's decreased in intensity here, but really, what is Trauma Center if not an experience in getting your ass kicked? We're in!

Trauma Center ad is bloody brilliant

If, like us, you've been wondering where Atlus' creativity went with its terribly plain Trauma Center: New Blood boxart, you'll be happy to hear that we managed to find some of it in the latest issue of Nintendo Power. While not as hilarious or ridiculous as the Geometry Wars: Galaxies piece we featured late last week, this blood transfusion ad we spotted certainly is creative. Jump past the post break for the full page.

Another Tuesday, another Trauma Center update

Posted Oct 23rd 2007 10:00PM by Candace Savino
Filed under: News, Video

Today marks another Trauma Center Tuesday, which means we get new information about Trauma Center: New Blood. The most recent update happens to be the official trailer, embedded above. This video gives us a further look into the new surgeries, locales, characters, and cooperative mode. It also shows evidence of an online ranking system for all you competitive types. Oh, and the formerly inactive tool tutorials are now watchable over at the game's official website.

We're pleased with today's updates, and Trauma Center: New Blood is looking mighty fine in our second opinion. (Please forgive us for that, but it's "Lame Pun Day" over at the Nintendo Fanboy blogs.)

Wii Warm Up: Well, it's medical ... ish

We love Trauma Center. It's just good, clean, surgical fun, and the forthcoming New Blood just looks awesome. It's just this box art we're not sure about. Maybe it's just us, but it seems so ... plain. So mundane. So not in-keeping with the other games. What do you think of it?

Look, don't get us wrong. We're likely to sink an unhealthy number of hours into it anyway, because that's what we do in the seven minutes of spare time we have per week. It's just that sometimes, we're forced to shake our heads over boxart decisions, and this is one of those times.

Trauma Center: New Blood -- costume not included

What's more fun than waiting around for a new Trauma Center? Getting an update on the title every week like clockwork. Today, Atlus debuted Trauma Center Tuesday, and they plan to put something new -- be it video, screens, or info -- on the site every week. The first update consists of the above commercial, which shows off a little coop mode ... as well as one particular gameplay style we do not recommend. Sometimes, cosplay and gaming just don't mix.

Though we must say, latex gloves probably cut down on Wiimote slippage.
