I don't know where to put this, so I'll put it here. Gamespot was at the Platinum P.C apparently and have some more info on MadWorld:

"The developers said they aren't setting out to make a depraved or perversely violent game with Madworld, but rather a game focused on "fun," comical violence.

PlatinumGames said they felt the Wii was missing "such a game [as] Madworld," with many games on the platform being too similar to each other. A brief gameplay segment was shown at the announcement press conference in which the game's lead character, Jack, used a chainsaw--controlled with a flick of the Wii Remote--to slice up foes, and was able to perform finishing moves such as impaling them on a nearby spiked wall.

The game also features Bloodbath Challenge minigames. One demonstrated was called Man Darts, where the object was to splatter enemies onto a giant oversized dart board by swinging a baseball bat at the correct time. "

Holy shit. Man Darts? :lol

I hope this doesn't become too "detached" though, there's nothing I hate more than games going into a first person mode and having invisible arms or whatever. Hopefully it's all very nice and seamless.

The write up was pretty good, except they typoed and said Mikami was directing Mad World right after saying that the fourth game by Mikami is under wraps.

Yeah that's why I didn't include that part :lol

I think I'll quote their writeups in the OP too. It should give people a good idea of what the games are.

Minigames gone awesome. :lol

I'm loving this game the more I hear about it. The God Hand fan in me needed this game YESTERDAY.

Man Darts. Brilliant. :lol

Couple of points that were not mentioned so far but may be of interest to a few gaffers...

Band Brothers DX:
When it launches, you'll be able to download a "Speaker Channel" on your Wii, from the Shopping Channel (no mention of price, should be free I guess, but you never know) which will allow your Band Brothers music to come through the TV. You can also upload your original compositions to a server for others to download. Lots of Wi-Fi Connection support, apparently.

Metal Gear Solid 4:
You can somehow get the Altair costume (seen in the Assassin Solid April Fool joke) and play as an assassin.

Not sure where to post that (a bunch of new/renewed trademarks from various Japanese companies) but given that chances are that some of these might pop-up in some Japanese mags in the coming months, I guess it wouldn't be totally inappropriate to post that here ->

......what?

Um, can you tell which are new and which are renewed? I mean, I'm trying to figure out what the Wario ones could possibly be, and it wouldn't make sense they'd have to renew them this quickly, right....?

Well, I'm not particularly well versed in the trademark registration process, but to answer your question...the "Hedgehog Engine" one is probably new given that it's the name of the recently announced graphical engine for Sonic Unleashed (HD version)... As for WarioWorld and Wario Land, it seems pretty obvious that they are renewed for a reason, including the possibility that Nintendo could have some upcoming plans involving these franchises...

Holy shit.

I will marry you and bear your children. I don't know how, but I will. I can't figure out what the hell is going on in these little demos, but it's still awesome.

Blah, any idea why the games all look like this for me?



I thought it was intentional at first, but I just doubt this more and more.

A Kamiya game that stars a witch and you can equip weapons on your feet? Sign me up!

I wonder if these are just generic renewals or if they're actually doing new Wario projects. Surfergirl had written that 4 Wario games were being worked on.

Yup, that's what I was wondering as well. I guess we will get to know soon enough what's up with that.

Hopefully not another Bulletwitch. They should dump the glasses on the girl.

What else has Nintendo got left?

I've always been a fan of Wario's games, just skipped out on World and Master of Disguise because of reviews. :/

Hopefully these will bring him back to platforming glory.
