Posted February 27, 2007 English developer Data Design Interactive has recieved the license to develop and publish Wii-games from Nintendo, and has decided to celebrate this by porting twelve of their PS2 and PC-efforts over to Wii. Six of these games will release in Q2, the other half in the second half of 2007. The first six to appear are: Billy the Wizard It’s no fairytale when there’s an evil force around. Use your magical spells to attack evil dragons that have taken over the skies above ‘The Wizards Castle’. Or take part in the sorcerer’s ultimate challenge as you race alongside other wizards in the enchanting Broomstick Grand Prix. Screens Myth Makers Super Kart GP Fantastic friendly fun and mad cartoon racing, rolled into lots of exciting challenges against characters, with unique abilities. Challenge your friends to leagues, cups or time trails or face a solo challenge to try to defeat the evil Mumbra. Screens Anubis II The evil spirit has risen again and taken physical form. A ‘Pharaohs Curse’ has been placed over the fastest, strongest and most poisonous of Egypt’s inhabitants. The Gods have called on the only warrior that could rid the sands of these evil monsters and return peace to Egypt… The mighty Anubis. Screens Ninjabread Man Candy Land is under attack! This once sweet and tasty land has been taken over by hordes of snapping Cup Cakes, Angry Bees and Jelly Monsters. Only one man can stop this evil army of monster cakes. He’s one tough cookie; a guy that won’t crumble under the pressure...... ’Ninjabread Man’ is here! Screens Monster Trux Extreme This is the super-charged turbo-driven world of Monster Trux Extreme - you and your friends will be racing huge V8 powered Monster Trucks around rugged terrain, including islands and volcanoes. Race well and earn prize money, which you can use to unlock extra Trucks, levels and bonus features. Screens Elviz: Rock N Roll Adventures Bash and Trash crazed instruments with Elviz's legendary guitar, or strum those strings for a bolt of Sonic Power to blast away Deadly Drums, Run, Push, Swipe and Jump your way through the massive levels with moving objects, intelligent enemies and hidden rooms! Its time to ROCK N ROLL! Screens Stewart Green MD of Data Design Interactive, said: We have been developers for the past 24 years and we have seen many new consoles but the Nintendo Wii controller is exciting. Rather than just offering faster graphics and more memory this is the first real innovation in hardware, and because of the ease of use and dynamic control we can see both new games and new players being brought into the games market. Our Mythmakers range of titles have sold over half a million units and with their family friendly and cartoon style they are ideally suited to this Nintendo market, but we are not playing safe. Of the 12 titles we have planned for release we also have the 18 rated EARACHE EXTREME METAL RACING. A Death metal music game, which will open up the Wii to a whole new market.

Posted February 27, 2007 While I don't hold a lot of hope for these, whoever conceived "Ninjabread Man" deserves some kind of freakin' medal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 27, 2007 While I don't hold a lot of hope for these, whoever conceived "Ninjabread Man" deserves some kind of freakin' medal. Lmfao! Ninjabread Man sounds awesome. I took one look at the boxart and just burst out laughing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 27, 2007 That is genius. I would totally pick this up for a tenner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 27, 2007 Love the prospect of seeing a death metal-themed game blessing the Wii. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 27, 2007 Hahahahaha! I think the whole forum thinks we're nutters, but I think it looks rather fun. Well then we're no more nutters then Steven Segale fans. Lets face it, you don't buy his DVDs for the great character acting. Or well choreographed fight scenes even. You buy it because it's Steven Segale dammit. And I'm going to buy this because it's Ninjabread Man dammit! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 27, 2007 Ninjabread man is the greatest game ever made. I haven't played it but with a name that great how can the game be bad? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 27, 2007 im hoping for the mini desktop racing one.im dying for another micromachines Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 27, 2007 Now, seeing as they're ports, why not offer them as budget titles for say, 20 quid? Make a nice profit, sell more games, and be more highly regarded? Nope, stick a full price tag on them and watch them 'fly' off the shelves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 27, 2007 Full list: Billy the Wizard Myth Makers Super Kart GP Anubis II Ninjabread Man Monster Trux Extreme Elviz: Rock N Roll Adventures Hamster Heroes Trixie in Toyland Action Girlz Racing Mini Desktop Racing Myth Makers Orbs of Doom London Taxi: Rushour Earache - Extreme Metal Racing From the prices of all their games on all platforms - these will probably be £9.99. And who wouldn't pay £10 for a game called Ninjabread Man? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 27, 2007 oh dear. Surely these will be the worst games ever? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 27, 2007 although they all look shit i'm sure they'll all be cheap (i'd guess they'll be released for about 20 quid) and overtime they'll probably end up for 6.99 in the supermarket, the wii needs crap like this to succed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 27, 2007 But with such awesome titles like Hamster Heroes and Action Girlz Racing what in the world could go wrong? I mean if the game is only half as good as the title suggests you should even be able to divide it by zero. We have been developers for the past 24 years and we have seen many new consoles but the Nintendo Wii controller is exciting. How did they manage to be devs for 24 years? I mean do they sell drugs as a part time job to keep their company running or what? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 27, 2007 Look's like it'll be a hard choice picking the GOTY for 2007. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 27, 2007 Ninjabread man is a quality title. Shame to waste it on what doesnt seem to be a safe bet of a game really. Nintendo probably gave them developer status on that title alone. As for the Earache extreme racing thing-a-ma-bob, im only interested if they dare use Napalm Deaths 'From enslavement to obliteration' as part of the soundtrack...

Posted February 27, 2007 They will have an RRP of £9.99 . You can pre-order some of the Wii games off the site now! These games will be good for the under 10s. Cheap and will last a few weeks for them. Plenty of choice for them on the console now too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
