Mario Sports Mix release date

July 2nd, 2010

On one hand Nintendo are well known for being very protective with their game franchises and characters, but on the other hand Nintendo also have made some very strange decisions and have often sold out Mario and his Mushroom Kingdom friends out for a quick buck.

We’ve had; Mario Party, Paper Mario, Mario Tennis, Mario Golf and a Mario Baseball title. One thing games have in common is that they’re not in fact developed by Nintendo themselves. Instead they’re farmed out to 2nd or 3rd party developers and quite frankly it usually shows because most of the time the games are poor.

This year Mario returns once again in Mario Sports Mix and as it sounds you can expect a party game based around sports, starring Mario. The game features four sports:

Volleyball
Basketball
Ice hockey
Dodgeball

Of course you can expect the usual cast of characters; Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Wario and the rest. As this isn’t a Sega title I’m afraid to say you shan’t be able to pitch Sonic against Mario this time. Mario Sports Mix looks like a great title for this kids but don’t expecting this to rival Wii Sports Resorts. The Mario Sports Mix release date is currently scheduled for early 2011.

Wii Party release date

July 2nd, 2010

There was a big effort from Nintendo at this year’s E3 to show a good mix of core and casual titles, Wii Party looks to be Nintendo’s very own casual title for this holiday season. If you can picture in your mind a cross between Wii Sports Resort and Mario Party then you will likely be envisaging Wii Party. 13 different party game modes and 70+ minigames that can all be play with the standard Wii Remote motion controller await you in Wii Party for Wii.

Rather pleasantly this isn’t just a Mario cash in; just like Wii Sports everyone can use their Mii avatar instead of the Mushroom Kingdom characters.

The Wii Party release dates is pencilled in for fall 2010, we don’t expect this one to slip because it looks like a perfect family Christmas title on Wii.

But did you know that hit party game Just Dance has joined such illustrious titles in selling multiple million copies.

Kirbys Epic Yarn release date

July 2nd, 2010

Nintendo were full of surprises at this year’s E3; not only did we see a new Zelda and a new Nintendo DS, but we also got a look at some great new games for Nintendo Wii this year.

Kirbys Epic Yarn for Wii is a brand new title in the long running Kirby franchise, just as with most of the previous games this is a 2D Side Scrolling platformer. As you’ll probably already know, Kirby is a flying shape-shifting pink blob that can absorb special powers from the enemies he eats. This time around though most of Kirby’s amazing powers have been stripped away and it is you and your Wii Remote that has the power.

Gone are the cutesy cartoon graphics that you remember, bring in a lush vibrant and very detailed world of Cloth and Textiles. Everything in Kirby’s Epic Yarn (including Kirby himself) is made of fabric and boy does it remind me of LittleBigPlannet; but in a good way. Expect a world of unique puzzles that use this new graphic style and gameplay to match. The Kirby Epic Yarn release date is 31st October 2010.
