Fifteenmania

GameStop's Game Days sale doesn't really hold too much of interest to Wii owners, other than maybe $20 copies of The House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return, and Frontman guitars for $40. However, concurrent with the temporary markdowns done for this sale, GameStop has marked down Compile Heart's cephalopod puzzle game Octomania five bucks, to $14.99. Amazon has also marked the puzzler down to $15.

Octomania involves rotating 2x2 grids of octopi one space at a time to shuffle them onto a grill, in order to make takoyaki. If that's not enough to make the thing irresistible, it's got a wacky story mode and, most importantly, online play. Of course, that means you'll have to convince other people to buy and play it.

Sugoro Chronicle: Monopoly with monsters


Sugoro Chronicle: Migite ni Tsurugi wo Hidarite ni Saikoro (Sugoro Chronicle: Sword in the Left Hand, Dice in the Right) is another hybrid board game/RPG, though unlike Dokapon Kingdom, this one seems to be original for the Wii. Sugoru Chronicle, developed by Compile Heart, uses 2D character portraits of its characters, as well as 3D models in battle.

The game is a Monopoly-like competition for acquisition of money, with a few interesting RPG-based modifications, most notably battling between characters. There are over 100 jobs the player can choose from, which seem to affect abilities in battle.

Sugoro Chronicle will be out in Japan this August. Their only Wii game to date, Sharuui Takoron, was localized as Octomania by Conspiracy Entertainment, so that would be the most likely avenue of stateside release.
