Walkthrough de Shiren the Wanderer

Aunque este juego sale hasta el 9 de febrero, nuestros amigos de Atlus nos regalan el primer Walkthrough. Espero lo disfruten.

Esta semana en Wiiware

Hola,

les dejo la lista de juegos están disponibles ya en el Wii Store.

DSiWare

• Number Battle (Nintendo, 1 - 4 players, 500 DSi Points): A feng shui-inspired board game using numbered tiles. The objective is to reach a target score by linking together the various tiles. Can be played against the CPU or human opponents.
• AiRace: Tunnel (QubicGames, 1 player, 200 DSi Points): You control a plane that progressively picks up speed through a variety of tunnels, dodging obstacles along the way. It kinda sounds like Operation but with airplanes.
• Escapee Go! (Gevo Entertainment, 1 - 4 players, 200 DSi Points): You play as Claire, an amnesiac being chased by some "unknown enemy." Yeah, we were bummed it wasn't something based on The Fugitive, too.

WiiWare

• Uno (Gameloft, 1 - 6 players, 1,000 Wii Points): It's Uno. It was probably all over your childhood.
• bittos+ (Machine, 1 player, 800 Wii Points): If you like squares, this game is for you. The object is to rotate the game board and move around its various pieces to create squares. Create squares within squares for bonus points and create squares within squares within squares because you're just that good.
• "Aha! I Found It!" Hidden Object Game (Ateam Inc., 1 - 4 players, 500 Wii Points): It's like those bar games where you find hidden objects in a sea of other images. That's exactly what this is.

Virtual Console

• Ghoul Patrol (SNES, 1 -2 players, 800 Wii Points): The sequel to Zombies Ate My Neighbors, this one forgoes the undead as an enemy and turns to the spectral plane for cannon fodder. Navigate the local library, dispatching spirits and dodging flying books. It's like a junior version of Ghostbusters, without the crossing streams and the womanizing Dr. Venkman.

Nintendo downloads for this week

Men (and bears) in tight bikini briefs invade the Nintendo Download this week, bringing Dark Void Zero, Starship Defense, The Secret of Shinobi, and more along for the wild ride.

Namco Bandai's Muscle March (500 Wii points) is one of the oddest titles to hit the WiiWare service so far. Thieves have made off with the protein powder the game's muscle-bound protagonists need to stay in shape. The bandits smashed through walls to escape, so if you want to catch them, you'll need to be in the correct bodybuilder pose in order to fit through the conveniently bodybuilder-shaped holes left behind. If that's too wacky for you, perhaps its WiiWare companion, Wahoo Studios' brain trainer The Amazing Brain Train! (600 points), can take you to a safe place where the thong bears can't get you.

DSiWare gets the lion's share of the new downloadable games this week, with Capcom's 8-bit tribute to the upcoming Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 title, Dark Void Zero (500 DSi points) taking the lead, followed by Q-Games' Starship Defense (500 points), which is essentially tower defense in space. EnjoyUp Games brings Chronis Twins to the DSi this week (500 points), following last week's release of Chronos Twins DS for WiiWare. Gameloft brings up the rear with Me and My Dogs: Friends Forever (800 points), a pet trainer in which you choose between a Chow Chow, Labrador, or Beagle, playing with them, giving them love, and then entering them into competitions to see if your love paid off. It's just like real dogs, only without the smell!

Shadow Dancer: The Secret of Shinobi for the Sega Genesis (800 Wii points) is this week's sole Virtual Console release, definitely strong enough to stand on its own four legs, thanks to the introduction of Yamoto, Joe Mushashi's faithful hound.

What looks good this week? I mean, aside from Muscle March, of course. That one's a given.

There Are Over 100 Million Miis In Japan And America

When the Nintendo Wii launched in 2006, it wasn't only the motion controller that was revolutionary. The ability to make your own cute avatar called a Mii shook up console gaming.

At a Nintendo seminar, company president Satoru Iwata revealed that between the United States and Japan, one hundred million players have their own Miis. In Japan, the number of Miis made exceeds 20 million. Nintendo has yet officially announced it, Iwata told the seminar, but the number for the United States is over 80 million strong.

Factoring in the consoles with multiple or quickly erased Miis as well as Miis from Europe and the rest of the globe and Miis that live on consoles not connected to the internet, and the number is probably higher. Maybe a gajillion Miis.

Iwata: The Wii has recovered

In the wake of a holiday sales surge, Nintendo president declares an end to the console's dry spell.

In October, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata declared that after three years of booming sales, the Wii had finally stalled. In the wake of a December that saw 3 million Wii systems sold, the Nintendo executive told Reuters the console was back on track.

Iwata said Nintendo's console has Wii-bounded on its way to a full Wii-covery.

"I think it's now safe to say the Wii has recovered from slowdown," Iwata told the news agency. He added, "But I'm not sure if it's prudent to use words like revival and recovery lightly before making absolutely certain we can maintain this momentum. So, I steer clear of such words today."

As for what prompted the resurgence, Iwata chalked it up to a number of factors. He said the company's software lineup toward the end of the year--spearheaded by the 4 million-selling New Super Mario Bros. Wii--was notably stronger. The system's $50 September price drop played a part as well, according to Iwata.

The executive also clarified a statement from yesterday's Nintendo holiday sales update. The company had said 2009 saw the DS set an "all-time calendar-year US sales record for any console or handheld system," but neglected to say what that record was. Iwata told Reuters that Nintendo believes the DS likely sold more than 10 million units in the US in 2009.

Wii games get bargain sooner!!!

EEDAR's Jesse Divnich finds games for Nintendo's system more likely to get deeply discounted in first three months of release than titles for Xbox 360, PS3.
Earlier this week, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime criticized third-party publishers for not putting their best content on the Wii. A report released yesterday from Electronic Entertainment Design and Research analyst Jesse Divnich might shed some light on one reason third parties aren't wholeheartedly embracing the system.
According to Divnich, Wii games are subject to "early price protection"--deep discounts at stores for which the publisher actually pays--at a rate double that of Xbox 360 games and 66 percent higher than PlayStation 3 titles. Divnich considers early price protection to be when a game's average selling price drops by more than 20 percent within the first three months of launch.
When a game ships to stores but doesn't sell, retailers eager to get rid of the stock will work with the publisher to find a lower price point to sell the game at. After the new price is determined, the publisher then credits the retailer for part of the cost of each remaining copy with the new lower price. Publishers generally engage in price protection because retailers would be excessively conservative in ordering games without it, lest they be saddled with warehouses full of a poorly performing game.
Roughly 7.5 percent of Xbox 360 games and 9.1 percent of PS3 games go into price protection in their first three months, according to Divnich. Meanwhile, 15.1 percent of Wii games have publisher-supported price drops in the first three months.
"This disparity on the Wii reinforces concerns that the market has had with third-party publishers developing successful titles on the Wii," Divnich noted in his report, adding, "Because of the highly competitive and unpredictable mainstream and casual markets, EEDAR believes retailers and publishers are overly aggressive on expectations for Wii games."
Divnich points to a number of factors that could be playing into that accelerated rate of early price protection. For instance, while publishers typically make sure not to release their top-tier hardcore-focused games against competition outside the holiday season, they seem to have no problem releasing the casual games that make up much of the Wii catalog against other casual games aiming for the same audience. Furthermore, with profit margins anecdotally said to be significantly higher on casual titles, publishers wind up taking smaller losses when similar-sized price cuts are made.

El Wii Fit y Yo.

Fue sin duda un encuentro entre dos mundos. Por un lado, un novedoso gadget dispuesto a hacerme bajar de peso. Por el otro, un gamer empedernido que busca innovaciones y no otra "llamarada de petate".

Primero, tuve que ponerlo en español, ya que si lo dejas en inglés, te maneja todo en libras. El primer paso fue aceptar que mi peso no era el mejor. Que me encontraba algo pasadito. Eso fue algo que me impactó y la verdad me molestó, quien es esa máquina para decir que lo pachoncito es obesidad? En fin, seguí el juego y la verdad es que el resultado fue tan satisfactorio que me quedé jugando mucho tiempo más.

Wii Fit ofrece grandes emociones y muchas satisfacciones. La forma de manejarlo, los ejercicios y la dinámica es fenomenal. La plataforma es una maravilla tecnológica. Los sensores son sumamente sensibles y permite moverse con facilidad. Cuenta con un poco de imprecisión para el cálculo del peso, y no es porque sea una ramita de nardo, simplemente porque mi pesos me lo calculó mal.

Pero de los demás, Oh Dios!! Es una maravilla. Sobre el todo el jogging... ¿Cómo diablos sabe que estoy corriendo a mi ritmo? Es impresionante.

Aún sigo probando sus virtudes, pero dificilmente me harán cambiar de parecer. Para mi, tiene un 8.5 de calificación. Enhorabuena Nintendo!!

Miyamoto San presents Wii Music

Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto revealed an ambitious motion-controlled Wii Music title at E3, featuring saxophones, drum kits and more--all controlled by gestures.

This is the drum kit pedals, seriously
At E3 today, Nintendo gave a real-time demo of long-rumored title Wii Music, which will feature gesture-controlled instruments and the new Wii MotionPlus attachment.
Nintendo icon Shigeru Miyamoto told the audience that Nintendo designed Wii Music to allow everyone to experience the joy of performing music.
When players play a saxophone, for example, they hold the controller as they would a real sax. Same for drums, which will use the Wii Balance Board as the kit pedals.
While most music games today require you to press buttons with precise timing to match symbols on screen, Wii Music relies on the gestures and placement of the Wiimote to create songs.
There will be 50 different instruments in all, including drums, piano, guitar, violin and saxophone, all of which you play using the same positions and gestures as the real thing. There was no timing, as in Guitar Hero or Rock Band, as the gestures, button presses, and timing of the player's movements were controlling the action.The software won't grade your performances, Miyamoto said, but it will record them and allow you to create music videos with up to four people.

Wii Motion Plus

Nintendo announced Wii MotionPlus for Wii, an add-on that attached to the end of the Wii Remote to provide more comprehensive tracking of player's arm position and orientation, which would enhance precision when playing games such as first person shooter.

Ebay bids Super Famicom signed by Miyamoto

As much as Nintendo is known for its stable of franchises and iconic characters, one of the most preeminent mascots of the Kyoto-based gaming giant is none other than its jovial senior managing director, Shigeru Miyamoto. Aside from laying the foundation for the publisher's current success by creating figures such as Mario, Link, and Donkey Kong, to name a few, Miyamoto is often credited as a primary contributor in the development of Nintendo's hardware, including the chart-topping Wii.
So, how much would one of these systems be worth were it signed by the legendary game designer? In seven days and counting, the world will know, as a listing for a Miyamoto-signed Super Famicom has surfaced on Internet auction site eBay. In addition to the graffiti'd console with appropriate cords, the auction includes a number of Super Famicom staples, including Super Donkey Kong; Super Mario Kart; Super Mario Bros. 1, 2, and 3; Mario & Wario; and Mikey's Tokyo Disneyland Adventure, as well as a Super Game Boy.
Unlike most auctions of this ilk, the swag comes with little backstory, other than the auctioneer linking to a nondescriptive blog post in which he apparently met Miyamoto at an event in 2005.

Rock Band confirmed for Wii

Last February, an Activision conference call revealed the existence of the Wii edition of Guitar Hero. Though unsurprising, the announcement was welcomed by owners of the still-scarce console looking to embrace their inner Yngwie Malmsteen. Despite a very public disc recall, it was also immensely profitable. The Wii edition of Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock sold over 1.2 million units and generated $110 million in the US alone through December 31, 2007.

Today, a post-earnings-report conference call held by Electronic Arts revealed the existence of a Wii version of Rock Band, developed by Guitar Hero creators Harmonix. Though Rock Band is officially published by MTV Games, EA distributes the game via its EA Partners program, and will apparently do the same with the Wii edition.

"One of the things I'm very proud of is the partnership between Electronic Arts and MTV," said EA CEO John Riccitiello to analysts. "In terms of pacing the next few quarters, you're probably well aware of the more than $2.5 million music downloads that have occurred on Rock Band. What's probably the most interesting pieces right now is the coming launch on the Wii, the continued sale of the core platforms in North America, and then the fiscal '09 launch across Europe against all of the SKU. So, frankly for the balance of our Q4 and the first half of fiscal '09, Rock Band is a key focus." (Emphasis added.)

Riccitiello's comments confirm the existence of the Wii Rock Band and the fact that it will be released in the 12 months after April 1, when EA's 2009 financial year begins. Unfortunately, no other information was made available about the game, and inquiries sent to EA and Harmonix representatives were unanswered as of press time.

Wii entra al mundo LIVE. Wii gets into the LIVE world.

Jugar en línea con CV y chat con voz

El presidente de NOA, Reggie Fils-Aime posiblemente esté planeando una significativa actualización a la Consola Virtual de Nintendo; “no nos sorprendería” si la opción de chat con voz llegara al Wii. Por Tom Magrino
Pokémon Snap, llegó semanas atrás como parte de la agenda de la actualización de la Consola Virtual, permitiendo a los jugadores compartir las fotos que ellos tomen en el juego y enviárselas a sus amigos vía internet gracias a la funcionalidad de compartir fotos que tiene el Wii. Viendo estas capacidades traspasar un juego de la Consola Virtual es tangible. Ahora se corren los rumores de que pronto le agregaran una nueva funcionalidad de jugar en línea con títulos de la CV así como tablas de puntos o algunos modos multijugador como se puede encontrar en selectos títulos de Xbox Live Arcade classics.
Sin embargo, esos rumores se eliminaron el día de hoy durante una charla telefónica con el presidente de Nintendo of America, Reggie Fils-Aime. Aunque la principal preocupación que tiene en estos momentos Nintendo es la falta de consolas en los almacenes para la temporada navideña, Fils-Aime dio algunas pequeñas pistas acerca de los planes a futuro que tiene la consentida consola de Nintendo.
"En términos de la Consola Virtual, nuestro principal objetivo es dejar esos juegos legendarios intactos justo como fueron lanzados hace muchos años,” dijo.
"Una de las pequeñas excepciones de eso fue que hicimos unos mínimos cambios con Pokémon Snap, por ejemplo. No nos anticipamos haciendo la compatibilidad en línea para juegos de la Consola Virtual. Sólo realizamos modificaciones para el intercambio de imágenes."
Además de darnos puntos interesantes con respecto a los planes de la Casa de Mario. Fils-Aime también nos hizo algunos comentarios con respecto al servicio de chat con voz que posiblemente será algo que tenían pensado desde hace tiempo, una vez que el apropiado periférico de comunicación esté listo.
"En términos de chat de voz en línea, como tú sabes, estamos haciendo constantes cambios," dijo el ejecutivo. "Ciertamente nuestro sistema tiene la compatibilidad para chat de voz en línea; lo que estamos finalizando es el periférico que permita hablar al usuario mientras se encuentra jugando, de hecho es algo que se encuentra disponible en el DS ciertamente es algo que nosotros valoramos y algo que nosotros constantemente estamos viendo y no me sorprendería ver esa capacidad en nuestro sistema."
