[Detomah]

Nintendo has plenty in store to keep your Wii Remote busy in the New Year. Whatever sort of games you like to play there is something for everyone on Wii, ranging from nail-bitingly addictive puzzle games to adrenaline-filled action titles. This selection will keep you tied up until Easter!

Mini-game fanatics will be delighted by Wario Ware: Smooth Moves (Nintendo), a zany and exciting take on the classic series and the perfect party game, as well as the highly addictive Kororinpa (Hudson), an interactive marble maze where players must navigate to the exit by tilting and twisting the stages using their Wii Remote. As if that wasn’t enough, Nintendo is also unleashing the latest in its smash-hit party game series, Mario Party 8 (Nintendo). Sports fans can take to the track in Nintendo’s truck racing game Excite Truck (Nintendo) where players steer using the Wii Remote like they would a real wheel, before soaring into the skies in aviation adventure Wing Island (Hudson).

Action junkies need not worry about being forgotten, with top fighting games including Mortal Kombat: Armageddon (Midway Games) and Dragonball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 2 (Namco Bandai Games), sports games such as SSX Blur (EA) and Tiger Woods PGA Tour (EA) as well as adventure games like Sonic and the Secret Rings (SEGA) and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Ubisoft).

Like Seriously...

It had to be one of the most frustrating games ever, because you wanted so much to get to the next level, but it took almost sub atomic partical manipulation, type accuracy to get past some of the obsticles that were thrown in your way.

If only some of the addictiveness and gameplay of those early games could be transferred completely into modern games, the gaming world would be a much better place.
