(Interesting development that Wii version is being handled by the people who did Sonic Rush/Sonic Rush Adventure, the only good Sonic games in a decade.)

Wii is getting the A-teams now, confirmed.

While I'm looking forward to Trauma Center: UtK2; the biggest news out of this issue is that next month will have a big update on the Wii/DS Ghostbusters games. I can't wait!

Sonic Unleashed Wii done by the Rush Team?

So what does it say about Crash and Spyro? Anything Wii-specific?

We know from various impressions of Crash MoM that the Wii version is the baseline/lead version (unlike the bullshit that ONM said about Sonic Unleashed!!!).

I'm curious about anything new about We Love Golf! and that interview with those brothers that are the founders of Camelot right?

When does the June 2008 issue of Nintendo power get released in stores/stands for non-subscribers? Around mid May?

HEY NINTENDO LOOK AT THAT
I like how the NP Staff doesn't have Earthbound in the Top 5 at all. Maybe they were told to keep quiet!

so what did they end up saying was good/bad about Drone Tactics? I thought it looked interesting enough to pre-order...

Or maybe it's just not good enough to make their top 5? I like EB okay, but it wouldn't make my top 5 either honestly.

Was the multiplayer balance board issue their main complaint about We Ski, or is there something inherently wrong with the game itself?

I'm fine with the single-player-only (for balance board play) thing, but I'm not fine with the game being unresponsive or something like that.

Drone Tactics:

+ game is surprisingly well made
+ collectible card minigame works well
+ unit customization options are deep and enjoyable

- military strategy game that appeals to preteens
- storyline elicits eye rolls
- touchscreen minigames tire quickly
- strange spikes in difficulty

We Ski

+ cute, fun ski game that can be played with the balance board
+ 4 players
+ can be played with remote+nunchuk (easier to handle)
+ Minigames are enjoyable

- sometimes has trouble reading your movements accurately

IT’S NOT MOTHER. Stop getting your hopes up. This is Castlevania for sure.

There’s not even a moon in the Mother logo. It’s a little thing called EARTH…

:lol

It's obviously Castlevania, yeah. I suppose Famitsu might have a feature on it before the next Nintendo Power is out. I certainly hope so. I can't wait to get some solid info on the next Castlevania(s).

Yeah, but it says signs hidden in the moon. Maybe a hidden image or something?

this could be the "big RPG thing" all over again...i go with moon ds, fragile or, very unlikely, fatal frame 4 (iirc there the word "moon" in the japanese title)

But seriously, I have a question for anybody out there who knows anything about the moon.

Has this always been there?

Because that's creepy as hell.

Actually now that you mention it, Fragile is a very good guess. But the moon is red and Fragile has more of a blue thing going for it... not to mention the game isn't even 30% done yet. I doubt they'd announce a US localization this soon.

It's a moon + it's red = I'm still betting on CV.

Ah, holy shit, that skull thing really IS on the normal Moon that is WEIIIIIIRD.


Uh yeah I'm comparing it to a photo of the Moon and I don't see much difference aside from the color and the maybe more contrast. I don't see anything "hidden" or added.

Could also be a Mother/Earthbound announcement.

About as likely as this being a Final Fantasy 4 announcement, because that took place on the moon too, towards the end. Or hell, even Paper Mario had a moon level.

There are no secret messages or pictures in that moon. You can find the same picture online and there are no differences in the moon's surface. The clue is just the moon itself.
