Hands On: Lost in Shadow
For those who haven’t heard of this unique title heading to the Wii from Hudson Entertainment; Lost in Shadow is a puzzle platformer that puts you in the shadows. You are the personification of a young boy’s shadow who is, in essence, trying to climb a tower to reunite with his body.

E3 WiiWare – A Collection of Good Titles
While hanging out at the Nintendo both I managed to just barely spot the WiiWare specific section. Where it had Cave Story, Final Fantasy IV: The After Years, Icarian: Kindred Spirits, BIT. TRIP. CORE.,and Military Madness Nectaris. Being a big Cave Story fan, I decided to check that out first!
NYCC: Marble Saga: Kororinpa
February Sixth, I entered New York Comic Con but a small fan of labyrinth style games. February Eighth, I left Comic Con a huge fan of marble based games. Marble Saga: Kororinpa is the sequel to a small and slightly unknown gem known as Marble Manaia: Kororinpa; it was released amongst the masses of great good games in 2007 and quickly fell to obscurity (as well as price gouging on e-bay). Enough ...
Unemployed? Hudson’s got the game for you!
Is the sagging job market keeping you down? Feeling unemployed, useless, and pathetic? Hudson Entertainment understands, and they want to give you a job. Sort of. Help Wanted, due out Summer 2009, is an “life-simulation” game where the player has to take on a series of odd jobs to save the planet from a errant meteor. How exactly working a nine to five cleaning an airliner is going...
WiiWare – Pool Revolution: Cue Sports
Looking for that good pool game on the Wii? Well it seems that Hudson has got our back with a WiiWare game named Pool Revolution. Players can choose from the most popular types of pool for up to four players, including eight ball, nine ball, rotation, and snooker. It also has in-game explanation to help provide descriptions of anything you need to know, for say that friend who always wanted to pla...
Snowboard Riot the most compelling upcoming WiiWare game made by Hudson
Hudson held it’s annual gamer’s day in San Francisco last month and two things are certain: the company makes a lot of money on Wii, planning a bevy of games for the system in the next few months, and the best one among them is easily Snowboard Riot for WiiWare. By the numbers, Snowbard Riot supports 4-person online multiplayer, 2-person split-screen, both Balance Board and traditional...
Kororinpa Marble Mania confirmed exclusively for Wii
One of the (unfortunately) overlooked titles from the early Wii days was Kororinpa Marble Mania, or “Marble Madness with a Story,” as I like to call it. It was a cheap, no frills, but wonderfully well-executed title that took advantage of the Wiimote accelerometer. And now it’s getting a sequel. Summary, and terrible pun, provided by Wired: Hudson said today that the sequel, Marb...

Hudson: Control Tetris with your feet using Wii Balance Board
From Siliconera this morning comes word that Hudson’s upcoming online Tetris title could have a very interesting new feature. Will Tetris for WiiWare have any new features other than Mii support or online play? Maybe drag and drop play like Dr. Mario & Virus Busters? It features a number of new rules and items. Currently, we’re tossing around the idea of using the Balance Board. Th...
Infendo Preview: Deca Sports
I approached the Deca Sports preview disc Infendo received last week with an open mind and low expectations, if that makes any sense. The comparisons to Wii Sports, fair or unfair, are unavoidable: both titles are a collection of sports mini-games and both feature colorful cartoon players that are more at home on a Saturday morning than on the real-world pitch of other more “serious” s...
