How To Backup Wii Games - Blog

In August, the niche Japanes RPG publisher Atlus Co. Persona 3 gained notoriety for characters’ penchats for self-inflicted gunshot wounds to aid them in their magic-making. Running with that theme, Atlus today announced that it would be bringing Sting Entertainment’s Baroque, again a game where death helps push things forward, to the Wii and PlayStation 2 in February.

While the most would argue that death is a pursuit worth avoiding, Baroque will apparently reward players for meeting their untimely demises. Atlus is promising a punishingly difficult, yet addictive, dungeon-crawling experience, where players search for items and pwer-ups as they attempt to unlock the secrets of the postapoclyptic world in which they have awoken.

Baroque is rated T for Teen.

There was no saucy saunter down the red carpet, but Nintendo’s casual darling Wii Sports did manage to surprise gamers with a guest-spot at the 2008 Academy Awards. In one of the night’s many gags, host Jon Stewart gets caught off guard when the show returns from commercial break, to find him using one of the event’s gigantic projection screens to play a quick round of Wii Tennis.

The entire segment lasts only thirty seconds, but it’s chuckle-worthy, to be sure. Check out the video after the break.

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer features Marvel Entertainment’s legendary super-powered foursome in its second big adventure. In the game and the film, Marvel’s first family of Super Heroes faces its greatest challenge yet as the enigmatic, intergalactic herald, the Silver Surfer, comes to Earth to prepare it for destruction. As the Silver Surfer races around the globe wreaking havoc, the team must unravel the mystery of the Silver Surfer and confront the surprising return of their mortal enemy, Dr. Doom, before all hope is lost!

The game is based on both the popular comic book series, as well as the movie sequel, with exclusive plot elements that complement the film. It features all of the foursome’s over-the-top super powers, as well as a unique fusion attack system that allows players to combine forces with one, two or all teammates, in order to execute devastating team attacks against the opposition. In addition to fighting familiar enemies from the Fantastic Four universe, players can unlock alternative costumes, comic covers and more!

This is 4Gamers’ 2.1 speaker setup for the Nintendo Wii. As you can see, the product carries the Official Nintendo Seal. It’s also crafted to look like a Wii, with two Nunchuk speakers and a subwoofer that…somewhat resembles the console itself. In much the same way Britney circa 2007 somewhat resembles Britney circa 1999. Strangely there’s no mention of it on 4Gamer’s own neglected, outdated site, but advertisements for the set are starting to pop up here and there, so we’ll go ahead and presume they’re real and that 4Gamers really do intend to sell them to you. Sometime. Somewhere.

We have seen our fair share of Wii peripherals, but the Wii Crossbow actually looks like it could be used by police officials to take down the bad guys. Sure, the ping pong ball tip doesn’t look too menacing, but we’re sure there’s a razor sharp arrow underneath.

If you’re worried aiming is going to be an issue, fret not. A laser sight is included to make sure you beat all your current scores in Link’s Crossbow Training. Priced at $28, the Wii Crossbow is priced on the steep side, but you can always take it in the garden, load it up with Nerf darts and pelt the bejeezus out of next door’s cat. Alternatively, you could use it to save some Christian aid officials that unwittingly have happened upon difficult times in war-torn Burma. You are Rambo.
