- Epyx announced Commodore 64 will be added to Wii's Virtual Console, the first batch of Commodore 64 titles for Wii will be Impossible Mission 1 & 2, Winter Games, Summer Games 1 & 2, Pitstop and Jumpman Junior.

... I didn't think Epyx existed as a company anymore. It went bankrupt back in the late 80s, as far as I knew. Therefore, it would seem somewhat impossible for that claim to be true.

Granted, some holding company could be rereleasing older games (I believe System 3 was publishing a Last Ninja and Impossible Mission game), but that's hardly the same as saying Epyx resurfaced and was to put out "C64 games".

Because we haven't seen doubles through this whole thread, right?

Also, I do it with style! Not to mention that I have appointed myself new-Wii-screenshot-poster-guy. Expect more doubles soon.

If I get only one game for my Wii to begin with, it will be Red Steel. Holy shit.

From my perspective, they're acceptable. I know objectively, they're horrible, but I don't care about graphics. Never have, really.

I dunno about the other guy who said it was acceptable.

Yeah, pretty much. For me, it is acceptable for a system that costs $250. Now, if it cost like 2-3x more, hell yeah I'd say that looks like shit and we should burn their house down. But it's relatively cheap and graphics like that are pretty much expected.

And no way that Red Steel shot is real.

Those arent the first - there has been some print ads in Game Informer recently. Nothing much, just a cut-out showing you how to make a shurikan with red steel logos and stuff.

however, the 2nd page here is the FIRST mutliplayer screen shot revealed, so thats kinda new

So Ubi are using the target shots in their print advertising? They must be confident that they can make those visuals before release...

System 3 recently acquired all the Epyx licenses. I believe another company previously held them. Their Epyx announcement is alongside their Impossible Mission and Last ninja releases.

Not strictly screenshots (well, definitely not screenshots), but j.m.ratkos over at rllmuk got his hands on some bare cases for Wii software. First I've seen of them, myself.

it's interesting that there are the hooks for a second disc in the middle of the case.

He looks like the martial art master in Kill Bill (part 2)

Mojojo said:

Yep. From what we have seen until now, it looks like the movie Kill Bill, Quentin Tarantino, and more generally the asian cinema from the 70s are some of the main stylistic inspirations of Red Steel. That's definitely insteresting, and I really look forward to see how far this style is exploited in this game...

It does work. He asks if you used the previous advertisement that shows how to make a ninja star and if so stab your eyes out and beg him to be taught then he says some more and hangs up

The 2nd Wii Play image, in the pool, looks like player 1's flipping the bird. Glancing over, and the position, and the fact that the Mii avatar is angry got that into my head. :lol

How about all those Xbox, PS2 and Gamecube games with hands like that? I supposed it was equally bad character models?

I do agree there are lazy here but considering the hardware COD images aren't even near something like "horrible" that's for sure.
