Gamedaily writes: "It seems that more third parties are finally making suitable games for the Nintendo Wii's unique controls, rather than putting together gimmicky titles or rushed ports of previous releases with the addition of motion controls. EA's Boom Blox is a prime example, and now Namco Bandai's We Ski delivers a straightforward skiing simulator where you mimic physical activity similar to the sport. While it isn't as flashy as EA's SSX games, it serves its purpose well.
As you begin, you're asked to create a skiing character. Here, you have a couple of options available. You can either build your own skier from scratch using a by-the-basics customization tool or you can incorporate your pre-built Mii folks into the game. It's great to see Namco Bandai include Mii compatibility, although you can't put goggles or hats on them like you can other in-game characters. There's still plenty of items to fiddle around with, including poles, skis, jackets, gloves and other equipment. You can unlock new items over the course of the game as well, with over 220 items to choose in all."
Namco Bandai today released their Q1 2010 earnings report. And buried amidst the boring money stuff (net sales are down 15.8%) is something a little more interesting: game sales data.
Listed were the publisher's top five-selling games for the quarter ending June 30, 2009 (as in, only those sold during that three-month period, not lifetime sales). Those expecting Nintendo-like numbers will be disappointed, but those who love Afro Samurai - or just numbers in general - will be thrilled!
Poor Namco. Their best selling game isn't even well reviewed or high in sales. The other 4 are just jokes anyways. Hopefully they shuffle up some good game ideas for this next quarter to keep afloat since I like the Tales of series.
this is what they get for unleashing Ace Combat to a foreign audience and abandoning the outright loyalty of the PS horde; otherwise ruining the track record of an excellent franchise.
where in the world is KK and that fkn Cellius...? >_<
The top ten best-selling games for Namco Bandai during the 2008-2009 fiscal year.Tales of Vesperia for the Xbox 360 is surprisingly not on the list.
