Wii's World writes: "The platformer was once the leading genre in gaming. Characters such as Super Mario, Sonic the Hedgehog and Crash Bandicoot were all mascots that commercialized this style of gameplay. But nowadays, platforming has taken the backseat on next-gen consoles. All consoles except the Wii. With solid games like Super Mario Galaxy, Klonoa and Wario Land: Shake It, it's clear that Nintendo's system won't let gaming's most beloved genre get left in the dust. Unfortunately though, some games seemed to have been designed to destroy every fond memory a person has of the first time they jumped on a goomba. One game that makes that category would be CID the Dummy."
Independent game sales for the weekend of June 20.
Italian developer Twelve Interactive has announced that it has reached "an amicable compromise" with UK distribution firm OG International over the rights to the CID The Dummy franchise.
Twelve Interactive had said in October that it was seeking legal advice over OG's claim that it held rights to CID The Dummy supposedly acquired from former license-holder Oxygen when the publisher went into administration.
AVault is a huge proponent of the Wii, but during the last few years they have not been shy about voicing their displeasure towards developers using it as their personal shovelware dumping ground in a bid to take advantage of unsuspecting casual gamers. Too many PS2 ports for their tastes. It's time to take a stand. If CID the Dummy succeeds at anything, it demonstrates that a recall is in order.
