The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

June 18th, 2008 by Wii Game Reviews


The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

In the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, player-character Link is a young man raised as a wrangler in a small, rural village. Ordered by the mayor to attend the Hyrule Summit, he sets off, oblivious to the dark fate that has descended upon Princess Zelda’s kingdom. When he enters the Twilight Realm that has covered Hyrule, he transforms into a wolf and is captured. A mysterious figure named Midna helps him break free. With the aid of her magic, they set off to free the land from the Twilight.

Twilight Princess players join Link, Zelda, Midna and many other Zelda characters old and new, exploring the vast land of Hyrule and uncovering the mystery behind its plunge into darkness. As they go, Twilight Princess players enlist the aid of friendly folk, solve puzzles and battle through dangerous dungeons. In the Twilight Realm, they’ll have to use Link’s wolf abilities and Midna’s magic to bring light to the land.

Besides Link’s trusty sword and shield, Twilight Princess players use Link’s bow and arrows, fight while on horseback and use a wealth of other Zelda items, both new and old. Twilight Princess players can use the Wii Remote as a fishing pole, aim with the Wiimote, or spin the Nunchuk controller to execute a spin attack.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Features

  • Wolf it down: When Link travels to the Twilight Realm, he transforms into a wolf and must scour the land with the help of a mysterious girl named Midna.
  • Motion-sensing control! Using the power and unique control of the Wii console, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess features incredibly precise aiming control using the Wii Remote and the Nunchuk controller for a variety of game activities, including fishing, aiming arrows, and special sword attacks.
  • Ride into battle: Twilight Princess’s amazing horseback combat system sees players battling hordes of foes on Epona, and jousting with bosses that must be seen to be believed!
  • Classic Zelda puzzling: Many puzzles stand between Link and the fulfillment of his quest, so Twilight Princess players must sharpen their wits as they hunt for weapons and items.

Endless Ocean for Nintendo Wii

Dive into tropical waters and discover the life aquatic, a life of nature, beauty and intrigue. In Endless Ocean, you are the guest of a tranquil sea filled with creatures so unique they must be experienced up-close.

More of an experience than a game of any sort, Endless Ocean gives you the freedom to explore underwater locations, searching for fish to photograph and place in your log, or simply take a relaxing swim among the inhabitants of the sea.

You’ll be able to directly interact with some species in Endless Ocean using the Wii Remote to touch members of the undersea community. Come face-to-face with such animals as angelfish, penguins, walruses and dolphins. Whilst underwater, you can even find lost ruins and secret diving locations.

The Wii Remote’s pointer capabilities are used to navigate through most of Endless Ocean, whether it’s directing the ship to a location on a map or directing the diver which way to swim. When you want to interact with ocean life, you’ll simply point at it and then press the A Button.

In addition to searching the vast waters of Endless Ocean, you can share Friend Codes and explore your friends’ sea via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Dive together and share in an adventure like no other.

Have a certain song you like as a diving soundtrack? Endless Ocean supports MP3 files. Simply load your MP3 on a SD card and put it in its proper slot. Before your dive, find your song on you boat’s radio, and you’re ready to go.

Dive with a friend via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection! Endless Ocean lets you exchange Friend Codes and take a dip in your friend’s waters. You can use all the tools available in single-player mode in addition to the ability to communicate by using the Control Pad and choosing from preset phrases.

Befriend a dolphin to gain access to a number of mini-games and have yourself an Endless Ocean travelling companion.

Okami

June 15th, 2008 by Wii Game Reviews


Okami

Okami tells the story of a mythical sun god who sets out to restore a dismal world, decimating the forces of evil who stand in the way by commanding the elements and mythical abilities the deity possesses. Mixing Japanese folklore and a stunning traditional Japanese art style, players must utilize an inventive control scheme to overcome the challenges and evil that await. By enhancing the unique gameplay, visual style and story line of Okami with the control of the Wii Remote, it is sure to be the ultimate version of the game.

Originally designed for the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system and released in 2006, Okami now comes alive in an entirely new way on the Wii with its visually stunning art style and beautiful scenic 3D levels that have the appearance and texture of paper scrolls brushed with watercolor-like calligraphy art. Throughout the vibrant and distinctive surroundings, players must use the Wii remote to interact with a dynamic world and cast of characters. The blend of stylized graphics, movements and unique gameplay will result in a rich and dynamic experience never seen before.

Features

  • Innovative gameplay and control scheme optimized for the Wii – Defeating monsters requires both motion-controlled physical attacks, but also use of the Wii Remote as Amaterasu’s ‘Celestial Brush’ to paint the desired powers for decimating enemies and solving puzzles.
  • Utilize various gameplay styles – In addition to the Celestial Brush, Amaterasu can wield three types of offensive weaponry, each with their own unique abilities and effects. Depending on how a weapon is equipped, it can be used as the main or sub weapon:
    • Reflectors – These well-balanced weapons are suited for close range combat.
    • Rosaries- Sacred magatama beads are great for quick long range attacks.
    • Glaives – These can be charged up to unleash powerful close range attacks.
  • Intriguing main character – Assume the role of the sun god, Amaterasu, who descends upon the earth in the form of a wolf. The Japanese translation of the word wolf is “Okami”.
  • Original visuals and revolutionary design- Vibrant and inspiring graphics, reminiscent of traditional Japanese art created on paper scrolls, produce a large variety of stages with a watercolor-esque appearance.
