The Wii, Nintendo's magic money machine, has been crazy successful. Every month it sells an estimated sextillion units, and its games are consistently best sellers. But as GamesRadar pointed out recently, almost all of its titles for the rest of the year leave something to be desired. Ignoring Nintendo-published titles, almost every game is a cooking title that teaches kids math while you lose weight playing Sudoku on the balance board.
Fortunately, there's at least one third-party game that you might be thankful for at year's end: Rygar: Battle of Argus, a pleasantly violent quest through Greek mythology to find a kidnapped girl. Let's illustrate why Rygar could be the Wii's saving grace.
Peter Tieryas continues his series of exploring favorite game levels Rygar from the original Nintendo, exploring Sagila’s Cave.
I rented this and was glued to it until I beat it. This was the first metroidvania type game but unfortunately was forgotten. I'm glad someone's giving it the attention it deserves.
Beating that game when I was like 10 remains one of my greatest gaming accomplishments.
Well it wasn't forgotten, in 2002 they made a 3D PS2 Rygar: The Legendary Adventure. I owned this original one though, and it was a very cool metroidvania game. It was weird, how it'd be a top-down game in certain areas, then go to the sidescrolling in others. The music was always very memorable. They need to make another sequel, but in this same metroidvania style. If I remember correctly the PS2 game was just level based. This was a great game overall.
It's also the seventh day of Christmas which hails the seventh instalment of Electronic Theatre's The Twelve Games of Christmas series, a twelve day long feature that aims to bring you the very best releases of 2009. We strive to give you a better idea of what to look out for in 2010's January sales each day, and today is the turn of July 2009, and we look back to the height of the summer at what were the best titles available.
Rising Star Games today announced a new partnership with Cidiverte S.p.a, providing a renewed focus on the company's product and respected brands throughout Italy.
Yeah Rygar does look great.But I am more interested in Mad World tbh
No, that would be The Conduit.
I have to give props to Tecmo. They are actually upping the graphics and character models instead of just porting the PS2 version.
Hopefully the Wii will see Rygar 2 if it sells well.
Can't wait.
