Mario Galaxy 2 Will Go Next Level

Miyamoto says the game will be for more experienced gamers.

Are you an experienced gamer? Are you afraid that with Nintendo's newfound audience (the casual crowd) that suddenly your "Zeldas", "Metroids", and "Marios" will become watered-down drivel? With Metroid's pairing with Team Ninja, and the words of Shigeru Miyamoto telling us that Zelda will be more of the same, there is nothing to fear there. What about Mario? Will Super Mario Galaxy 2 be too easy? Well if you read the article's title and/or sub-heading, then you already know the answer. No.

 

 

Shigeru Miyamoto recently talked to Nintendo Power about this issue, and he spoke about creating a game that catered to both audiences, but seemed to infer that the game would tend to lean towards the more experienced crowd. "I do believe that there is a lot here to appeal to the more veteran and more experienced gamers, and I think it's a title that they will obviously enjoy," Miyamoto would go on to say.

 

Miyamoto also brought up how the game will not be so intensely difficult that newcomers cannot play it, but his main point that he gets across is that Mario Galaxy 2 is going to be made with the idea that players have played through the original Mario Galaxy first. "...we also built it with consideration that we believe that people who played through the first Mario Galaxy have become better players."

 

I don't know about you guys, but playing through some levels on Mario Galaxy were pretty ridiculous (collecting Purple Coins in Toy Time Galaxy anyone?). This can only bode well for those who like a challenge.

Your Wii Remote Is Calling

Konami announces a new horror game for the Wii

Over the years, there have been a lot of horror stories/urban legends originating from Japan. Mostly released in movie form, stories like The Ring, One Missed Call, or The Grudge were originally Japanese films that were remade as American ones. Seeking to follow along with that trend, Konami has announced a new game for the Wii entitled Calling.

 

 

The game centers around a mysterious Japanese website that spirits and ghosts use to entice the living into some type of dead zone straight out of a Verizon Wireless commercial. Legend has it that once the user gains access to the mysterious site's chatroom, they will begin receiving calls from things that go bump in the night, and ultimately wind up dead. In the game, the Wii remote acts as a cell phone, which functions as a gateway to these undead zones. Players will play as someone whose responsibility it is to investigate the claims and find out just what this spooky website stuff is all about.

 

If you are not sold on the scariness of this title, just imagine playing this game in a dark room around midnight and suddenly a crackly voice comes over your Wii remote's speaker. Who knew poor speaker quality could actually be used for good?

 

Look for more details on the release of this game as it comes closer to its release date sometime in the Spring of 2010.
