Gamelion jumps on the Wii development train

Posted Jul 9th 2008 6:00PM by Phil Larsen
Filed under: News, WiiWare


Mobile game developer Gamelion has been given the big white tick of approval from Nintendo. According to Gamesindustry.biz, they will be branching out from numbered keypads and making the Wii a mane focus. Lions? Mane? Forget it.

After a bit of hunting and gathering, it appears Gamelion is behind many big names in the mobile market, including the FIFA series, Puzzle Bobble and Namco Bandai projects. The team will expand horizons with "new and innovative titles" on both WiiWare and the DS, and you'll be seeing the first project coming to WiiWare in early 2009. Best of luck to the team -- the more chances for awesome games, the better!

More Heroes -- for cell phones

Posted Jul 8th 2008 5:00PM by JC Fletcher
Filed under: Imports

Marvelous has announced three (three!) new No More Heroes games for Japan. Even though they aren't for Wii, or DS, or really any game system, they still look pretty great.

The three mobile "No More Heroes Flash Games" include Travis, in which an adorably chibi Travis fights UAA assassins and thugs who approach him; Schpel Tiger, an isometric driving game using Travis's giant motorcycle, and Glastonberry, a shooting game starring a giant robot from the fake anime Travis enjoys.

Each of these games will be distributed over cell phone networks for 100 "points," which we assume is equivalent to 100 yen each. They look simple, but we'd certainly enjoy paying small amounts of money for them.

Cell phones take a cue from Wii, use nunchuk controller

Posted Jan 2nd 2008 5:00PM by David Hinkle
Filed under: Peripherals, Controller

We'll be damned if we'll ever play a game on our cell phone (actually, that's a lie: we played Snake once). Our gigantic, meaty paws aren't designed to play on such a small device. Besides, we already have a portable device for games. It's called a DS.

But, the market is booming enough to demand peripherals be manufactured. The latest of which takes a cue from the Wii in the pictured nunchuk controller. Brought to you by manufacturer Zeetoo, the device is bluetooth-enabled and dubbed the Zeemote. The underside of the controller even has analog stick and buttons. And, they're even working on a motion-sensitive version, as we speak.

Nintendo thought about going into the cell phone business?

Posted Feb 7th 2007 11:30AM by David Hinkle
Filed under: News


We never would've thought Nintendo was looking to the mobile phone industry with any kind of plans for branching out, but according to the linked patent, which was filed in November 2001 and issued in June 2006, they were (and could still be). The patent, which reads as "Electronic apparatus having game and telephone functions," doesn't really paint a picture. Luckily though, we yanked some screens from Engadget, so check them out after the post break.
