Rock Band for the Wii

Rock Band is a game that plays very similar to Guitar Hero. If you don’t know what Guitar Hero is, well it’s basically like Dance Dance Revolution. Except you have to play Guitar notes to match the songs, instead of hitting arrows. Guitar Hero III has been released for Wii, but Rock Band has not. Rock band not only has a guitar, but drums, and a microphone. It costs about $170 dollers. Guitar Hero, with guitar control, cost about $80-$100. You can also download songs to them from Xbox Live Arcade (Or whatever it’s called).

There is no release date for Rock Band for the Wii yet.

But wait, the Wii version won’t let you download songs. There’s going to be a new channel that is like Xbox Live Arcade, but for Nintendo things. (For more on channels, see Channel Post).

A second Sonic Riders?

Yes, there is going to be a sequel to Sonic Riders. This time it’s on the Nintendo Wii. I wasn’t too fond of Sonic Riders, but hopefully the sequel, Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity, will be much better. I’m not saying Sonic Riders was a bad game, I just didn’t like it. I found it hard in the beginning (Beat it though. 8) ), and the fact that Sonic rides a board rather than runs, is kind of weird. The fact that Sonic’s on a board won’t change, but hopefully the learning curve isn’t so vertical, making it easier to learn. Graphic wise though, it looks alot different, and cooler. Seeing how now, they are in space.
You can now switch vehicles between hover boards, motorcylces, and futuristic hover crafts. You can also upgrade your vehicles. So, it seems better, and hopefully it is.

Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity has been out since January 8th, 2008 in the US.  Read more about it here.

Endless Ocean – NintendoWii

Endless Ocean [US Title; May vary] is a game will be coming out for the Nintendo Wii January 21, 2008 [US Launch; May vary].

 Endless Ocean is a game that is meant to relaxe the player. Unlike other games that involve fighting, stratergy, and so on. You take the role of a diver that dives into a beautiful ocean filled with life. You can take pictures of the animals you find, such as fish, whales, and sharks. The graphics of the game are very well done and make the fish look real. Along with the surroundings. Game Screenshot Here.

If you think the game will get boring after a while, there’s other things you can do. Like sit on the boat deck and look out at the seaand go view the fish you caught in aquariums. Another big plus for the game is that it is WiFi. So, once your Wii is online you can go diving in the water with your friends. You can also plug your MP3 Player into the Wii’s SD Card Slot and create your own background music.
