Sean Aaron Writes:
Meerkats have long suffered the reputation of being lazy sods who just lay around in the jungles of Africa eating bugs all day thanks to a certain film from a certain company with a certain round-eared mascot.
Of course people who actually have an interest in wildlife (and form their impressions of the world from something other than dubious animated morality plays) know that this is hardly the case and in fact these viverrids are social animals that eke out their existence in the African savannas (though they do eat bugs all day.)
From the review:
"Have you always wished that you could control your own clan of meerkats and dig a bunch of holes in the desert? Me neither, but Lead The Meerkats is giving us the chance anyway. In this little adventure, you play as a meerkat who has been separated from her clan after being chased off by the mean “dark meerkats” because that’s what happens in meerkat life. Now left on her own, your meerkat must burrow holes, find a mate, eat bugs, reproduce, and hopefully reunite with her clan."
Nintendo needs to stop being so lenient with the games that are allowed to be released. If they keep this up, they will run WiiWare into the ground.
This may be a case of Nintendo just trying to keep the release schedule rolling, even if they know they don't really have any hits in the mix at the moment. Even though the big game releases may have convinced us otherwise, we are heading into the lean summer months, and at that point the manufacturers just have to try to convince us that we shouldn't just hibernate until autumn.
Ouch, this was not a good week for nintendo. Well, maybe they'll pick up the slack next week. Hopefully anyways. Also, I think we'll see some good stuff from them at E3.
I could kill for some Metroid right about now
Icrontic's vigilant CB Droege brings us the interesting new releases for the Week of Exciting Bikes and Lost Meerkats, featuring Joe Danger, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, and Lead the Meerkats
