Wii Warm Up: Flash in the pan

Bikerz
Thanks to the Wii's internet browser, we can already enjoy plenty of flash-based games for the Wii. New flash games come out every day, and while most are simplistic and lacking in depth, some shine like diamonds in the rough.

Tell ya what. Why don't you recommend a flash-based title that you'd like to see on the Wii? While you have already seen through our thinly veiled desire to simply waste away the day with your favorite flash titles, it's worth a look. Some many aspiring game designers would love to see their titles on an official Nintendo downloading service, so why not give it to them? Which ones do you guys want?

Confirmed: Crave to bring Dave Mirra to the Wii

Looks like the rumor is true: Dave Mirra is going to be hitting the Wii in a new game titled Dave Mirra BMX Challenge. Featuring 12 different environments and 13 different bikes, the latest installment in the Dave Mirra franchise is going to hit retail at the beginning of summer during the month of June. What's appealing about this release, however, is the $29.99 price tag.

Yup, you read that right: $29.99 USD. With such a low price point, the game is definitely going to raise a few eyebrows at retail, perhaps some that wouldn't normally give a BMX title the time of day (even with the horrible review scores the PSP version of the game received). Hopefully, Crave will come up with some interesting gesture-based controls for the game.

So, is the price point low enough to get you interested in what Dave Mirra is offering?

Rumor: Dave Mirra BMX Challenge coming to the Wii

Rumor has it that Crave Entertainment is going to publish a version of Dave Mirra BMX Challenge on the Wii. The rumored release date is Q3 2007 and the game is said to retail for $39.99 USD. The source of the rumor comes from Codename Revolution, who say a distribution contact of theirs confirms the news. Still, even if it is true, is anyone even interested?

The weird thing about BMX titles is that none have really enjoyed the success of the Tony Hawk series. That isn't for wanting, though, as the Matt Hoffman and Dave Mirra games tried to enjoy the skateboarding game's success in the BMX world. So, are you one of those BMX fans? Looking forward to some BMX action on the Wii?

Watch movies on your Wii!
