Rumor: Project H.A.M.M.E.R. gets the hammer

According to rumors, one of the titles that took the 'meh' medal home from E3, Project H.A.M.M.E.R., has been canned. Or, rather someone came into the cubicle holding all of the discs and computers with the game's code on them and dropped a gigantic hammer in the most dramatic way possible. Yeah, that's the mental picture we want to go with.

Obviously, this isn't confirmed, but we could understand why Nintendo would want to go ahead and shut it down. It didn't look very fun and we imagine playing it is the video game equivalent of drinking the bottle of bleach underneath the sink. So, while we hope the rumor is true, some of you out there just might still be interested in this game, sitting there biting your nails while rocking back and forth in your chair.

Care to comment?

'The big three' ARE coming in 2007 (to Japan)

In an interview with GamesIndustry.biz, Nintendo confirmed that they do in fact plan to release Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3 Corruption, and Super Smash Bros. Brawl by the end of this year, as well as pretty much every Nintendo game announced for the Wii. This corroborates an IGN report to the same effect, and is also totally, totally rad. Here's the full list of Nintendo's planned 2007 releases. Donkey Kong Taru Jet Race is slated for June 28, and the rest are all "2007":

Donkey Kong Taru Jet Race
Wii Health Pack
Disaster: Day of Crisis
Mario Party 8
Project H.A.M.M.E.R.
Wii Music
Super Mario Galaxy
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Battalion Wars II
Forever Blue
Mario Strikers Charged
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games

Keep checking with us for news of the inevitable delays of about half of these. Seriously, that's a lot of first-party Nintendo games for just half a year or so. Aw, we just made ourselves sad with our own skepticism. Still, if half of this stuff does get released in Japan this year, it'll be great news and do a pretty good job of ending any drought that may or may not be happening.

Update: fixed some italics and formatting.

Some games we want to see on the Wii

After reporting on T3's Wii wishlist, we couldn't help but wonder what kind of games we would want to see on the Wii. In the ~~hopes of being rich guys who think of game ideas and stuff~~ spirit of sharing, we thought we would add in our own 5 titles, completely made up and not lacking in vitamin ridiculous. Our list goes something like:

Rickshaw Rush - We assure you we're not racist. Instead, we picture us holding both Wiimotes in steady fashion, jogging in place as we take rich Japanese businessmen to their destination. Lowering or lifting a controller will cause the rickshaw to turn in that respective direction. Fun for all ages!

Frisbee Frenzy Funtime - Gripping the Wiimote sideways, the player must physically toss it in order to fling the virtual Frisbee through hoops for points. A lot of people end up breaking their Wiimotes. The end boss is hard.

Hammer Time - This is pretty much the greatest idea for a Wii game you will ever hear. You play as an up-and-coming young contractor, looking to make a place for yourself and get a slice of the lucrative pie that is the construction industry. As such, you take up a partnership with the bankrupt, however incredibly-talented, MC Hammer. Together, you will hang drywall, spackle, cement walkways, and lay carpet like, well...like it's your job. And with a job this fun, who'd ever want to quit?!

Scratch That Itch! - Basically, you just scratch people. This game will be rated T for Teen.

Martha Stewart's Ironing Extravaganza - Martha's been in prison for a long time, and as such her linens have been sitting around, collecting wrinkles and dust. Now that she's out, it's time to roll up those sleeves and get things in order! Use the Wiimote to iron curtains, shirts, table cloths, and anything else your imagination could desire. It's a no-holds-barred homemaking deathmatch when you go one-on-one against the Femme Fatale of Fabric.

Now, how about you fine readers? What are your craziest ideas for games that could make it on the Wii?

Screenshot roundup: Project H.A.M.M.E.R.

Nintendo's Project H.A.M.M.E.R. revolves around a half-human, half-cyborg, giant hammer-wielding protagonist who is charged with stopping an invading army of robots. These robots have selected every major city in the United States to attack and with incredibly large hammer in metallic hand, players will control the protagonist's attacks in real-time with the Wiimote.

The latest update on the game comes to us in a huge screenshot release. In over 30 images, we get a closer look at some of the enemy robots as well as a front row seat to the carnage inflicted upon them (see: death by giant hammer). Also, some of the tutorial screens are present, displaying exactly how one would perform the moves available in the game.
