SnagWire: EA has shut down its mysterious Blueprint Division though not the projects that were being worked on.
One of these 'projects' that will be allocated elsewhere is the previously unannounced Boom Blox 2.
Apparently, work is already underway on the sequel to the spring's innovative Wii puzzle game that received critical acclaim and generated decent revenue after being briefly considered a sales flop.
With the Wii U coming out tomorrow the staff of VGutopia decided to take a look back at the top 10 Wii games that came out over the past six years.
On the eve of the Wii U, The National Post's Post Arcade team looks back at 10 Wii classics.
From fun times with everyone’s favourite plumber to stretchy, googly-eyed balls of goo [there's] no better way to bid your outgoing Wii a fond farewell than to scrounge around the bargain bins of used games stores and grab a few of these bona fide classics.
Monster Hunter Tri- and The Last Story (which I need to finish still) are some games that I certainly will not forget.
GamesBeat reached out to some key games industry figures (from Nintendo, 2D Boy, Gaijin Games, and more) to ask which Wii titles they think deserved a wider audience. Here are their thoughts.
There's so many great games on Wii that get overlooked, and then gamers complain about no new games... How about A Boy and His Blob, Sin and Punishment 2, Madworld, Lost in Shadow, Lit, Dead Space Extraction, Fragile Dreams, No More Heroes 1 and 2, the Res Evil Chronicles games, Sakura Wars, Lost Winds, Tatsunoko vs Capcom, Epic Mickey, de Blob, the Bit.Trip games... That's totally ignoring any first party titles, and I'm probably forgetting a bunch. With La Mulana and Retro City Rampage and Last Story coming out, the Wii has been a lot of fun!
Zack & Wiki takes my pick. Really hope Capcom would do a sequel. Wishful thinking at best.
I did play some of these games:Cave story,Boom blox(didn't really like it)Fire emblem,Wario Land shake(see boom blox),&Excite truck
HELL YES! Instabuy! Hope there's more multiplayer options this time. The last game had a TON, but it still did not satisfy my hunger, haha.
Great.Make this one larger and maybe it will get the attention it deserved.I like this game
This is the second "flop" to garner a sequel, No more Heroes the first. But seriously both those games were very good and this proves both made a nice profit for their respective companies. Wii sells third party software? who knew.
I see my attempt at sarcasm went over some folks' heads. I was actually meaning that both games were NOT flops, and just pointing out how fanboys like to use those games to prove some falsehood about Wii not selling 3rd party software. Sarcasm is not easy to convey in words I guess.
It's a solid game if you only own the Wii. The physics isn't very realistic in the game.
