Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games
It's not often that we get a piece of real, bonafide history in gaming, but this qualifies. Two of entertainment's once most heated rivals have teamed up to appear (along with their mates) in one game. A game tied, no less, to the Olympics' first outing in China.
As you might expect, various Olympic events taking the form of minigames are the order of the day.
You're given a choice of many characters from the Sonic and Mario universes - Yoshi, Shadow, Tails, Peach, Luigi and Eggman are just some of the faces you'll be able to play; each with their own set of statistics. As with Mario Kart, there are heavyweights, speed types and skilled characters that all have various abilities.
The games on offer are split up into categories, so all the track races such as the 100m and 400m are available under 'Athletics' while Javelin and Archery are listed under 'Shooting'. They're played using the Wii Remote and nunchuk in various arm-tiring ways to allow players to prove just who is the best from the two icons' respective worlds.
If the harsh reality of real Olympic events gets too much, there's another style of minigame on offer. While all the other games are set in the official Beijing stadium, and played by Olympics rules, Dream Events are set in fantasy worlds that best befit our furry and pudgy title mascots. They involve surreal events that give you the opportunity to take 10,000 metre dives and duel in the jungle.
It's certainly not a case of history repeating.
Wii Play with Wii Remote
No matter what your gaming experience Nintendo has just the game for you to play with your friends and family. Wii Play consists of a selection of nine very different mini-games on one game, which are designed to help you master the unique Wii Remote, whilst also providing hours of entertainment. To ensure you can enjoy Wii Play with your friends, the game comes bundled with a free Wii Remote.
Wii Play consists of a variety of quirky games that can be played either alone or with a friend. This includes Shooting Range, which is the first game unlocked and is reminiscent of the classic Duck Hunt (released on the NES). In order to unlock the next game the player simply needs to complete the previous one (this sequence continues throughout). When all of the games have been unlocked players can start earning medals for their performance.
Find Mii involves picking the right face out of a crowd in an environment that constantly changes - it?s a race against the clock and each other! Pose Mii requires players to make their Mii characters fit into the shapes in the Wii bubbles. To do this they must swing the remote to the right angle to make it fit inside. The psychedelic colours and quirky graphics involved in this puzzle make it instantly addictive.
Other games included are Charge, where players have to hold onto a rampaging bull and try not to fall off! Players steer their bull and make it jump by moving the Wii Remote in the right direction, attempting to knock over scarecrows on the way. Tanks, which also makes use of the Nunchuk controller, tests a player?s strategic skills encouraging them to leave trails of mines for other tanks to stumble across.
Wii Play also features faithful recreations of real sport games demanding precision and skill with the Wii Remote. In Table Tennis players hold the Wii Remote like a bat and use it to move their on-screen character?s hand and return balls. In Fishing players cast their line with similar moves as they would in real life and then wait for a bite before jerking the remote back to hook and reel in a fish. As a pub favourite, Billiards will be an instant hit with older Wii owners. In this game players hold the remote like the back of a snooker cue and use a smooth sliding motion to hit the cue ball. Finally Laser Hockey is a cross between air hockey and ping-pong. Gentle flicks of the wrist are picked-up by the Wii Remote making the pace of the game as relaxed or as frantic as required.
Wii Play takes simple concepts and demonstrates how much fun they can be by using the Wii?s unique control mechanism. The Wii?s unique Mii channel also allows players to build their own customised avatar that can then star as the central character in Wii Play and other games.
Monopoly
Official Nintendo Wii Nunchuk Controller
Contoured to perfectly fit a player's hand, the Nunchuk controller builds on the simplicity of the Wii Remote controller and goes an extra step to meet the needs of gamers. The Nunchuk controller connects to the Wii Remote controller at its expansion port and is used in conjunction with the Wii Remote controller.
The Nunchuk controller contains the same motion-sensing technology enabled in the Wii Remote controller but also includes an analog stick to assist in character movement. In several games, players will use the analog stick of the Nunchuk controller to move their characters and the Wii Remote controller to perform a specific action, whether that's throwing a pass in football or aiming a ranged weapon in an action game.
Along with the analog stick, the motion-sensing Nunchuk controller also contains two buttons positioned for quick access. Because the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers are only relatively dependent on each other, players are free to hold them in whichever hand is most comfortable. The ambidextrous nature of the Wii controllers grants accessibility seldom seen in game controllers.
