Impossible Mission screens are evidence of actual Wii Ware

These screens of Impossible Mission may not scream "next-gen graphics" to you, but consider these points: first, sometimes Wii games look like this; and second, this is purportedly a downloadable Wii Ware title. That said, we think the hand-drawn 2D is sharp and colorful, and we personally enjoy the look. So maybe we'll add a third point to our rebuttal: shut up, nonexistant straw man.

Nintendo World Report has a European/Australian release date of August 31 for Impossible Mission. If that's true, it means that Wii Ware games are on the way sooner than we thought. It's probably not true. We expect some more announcements from Nintendo before games just start showing up.

Original DLC to have own service on Wii?

Posted May 21st 2007 4:30PM by Alisha Karabinus
Filed under: News

When it comes to original titles, don't look to the Virtual Console -- System 3's CEO Mark Cale recently let slip that Nintendo will be utilizing a different service for new downloadable games. When discussing the forthcoming release of Impossible Mission with PALGN, Cale said, "I wouldn't say Virtual Console, because they're not actually calling it the Virtual Console ...."

In a way, this makes sense, but it opens the doors of speculation as to just what this other download service will be like. We would have assumed it would simply be another feature of the Shopping channel, but Cale indicated the service might resemble Xbox Live Arcade. If Cale is to be believed, we don't have long to wait when it comes to finding out just how things will be handled -- he expects Nintendo will start making announcements within the next two months.

New details on Impossible Mission emerge

Hot on the heels of the received word the Wii Shop Channel would be making this title available a few days ago, new gameplay details have made their way onto the net. These new details document a variety of different game modes the player will be able to, well ... play. These include:
  • New Mode: The original game, only completely reimagined, with updated graphics, music, effects and some new levels thrown in for good measure
  • Classic Mode: This is the Impossible Mission you remember
  • Merged Mode: A mixture of the old and new, with updated graphics and the original gameplay
So who's ready to prove this mission is anything but impossible?

Rumor: Impossible Mission remake going to Wii Shop?

Posted May 3rd 2007 9:45AM by JC Fletcher
Filed under: Rumors


Oh, good, another one of those vague, confusing rumors we love so well! Infendo is reporting that the latest issue of Nintendo Power reveals a downloadable Wii Shop version of the Commodore 64 classic Impossible Mission. Infendo seemed to think that the Wii Shop version would be the same as the DS remake. However, the resulting NeoGAF thread made the situation seem a lot less clear.

Apparently, publisher System 3 also plans to release a retail disc of Impossible Mission. It would be kind of weird to release the same game on disc and the Wii Shop, right? But it would also be weird to release the exact same game for Wii and DS. After all, the DS is not the PSP. So, with no real information to go on, let's do some speculatin'! Here are all the possibilities we can think of:
  1. The same game is coming out for both the Wii and DS. Unlikely.
  2. The DS game will be downloadable on the Wii, and will release concurrently with a separate Wii version.
  3. The DS and Wii remakes will be separate and accompanied by a Virtual Console release of the C64 original. This seems more plausible.
  4. LIES!
