I’d rather have a table of characters like the one in Smash Brothers, but I suppose this will do. Take a look at the trailer after the break, as well as screenshots.

There are also former members of Team Ninja working on the game as well. They worked on the Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive series.

Of course, this is overly optimistic, but I’m really intrigued by the promise of it. I really enjoyed the TMNT game that is currently available, regardless of the repetitive fighting. I felt that it actually captured the Turtles and their abilities very well. I also found it to be a very similar game to the old NES sequels, though in 3-D.

The game will feature many modes of play, including Story, Battle Royale, Tournament, and Winner/Loser Stays On. There will also be unlockable characters and stages, much like Smash Brothers. Fighting arenas will be interactive and each character will be highlighted with a glowing effect for ease of use.

Tentatively titled TMNT: Smash Up, the game will likely be released in September.

If you’re ‘dusting off your Wii,’ you’re not playing the right games.

In the last few months, I’ve been reading articles where people claim that they have either an Xbox 360 and a Wii, or a PS3 and a Wii, and they have to either ‘dust the Wii off’ or ‘hook it back up’ to play it.

The problem is not with Wii or the games that have or have not been released on it. Wii has some awesome games that these ‘gamers’ are missing.

Set aside Halo 3, Gears of War 2 or GTA4 for a month and invite some friends over for some Super Smash Brothers Brawl. Have tournaments, build levels, even play online.

Get Mario Kart Wii and actually play the game with the Wii Wheel. Give yourself a real challenge for once. Granted, the game frustrates me most of the time with how cheap it can be at the end of a race that I’ve been leading the ENTIRE TIME, but when I win the race, it feels fantastic. It feels like I’ve actually put some skill into winning the race, however random the game can be.

Pick up a copy of NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams and capture the exhilirating feeling of flight, along with one of the most amazing soundtracks ever, with some of the most beautiful graphics seen on Wii.

Grab a copy of Zack and Wiki and play one of the best games that very few have done more than batted an eye at.

Get a copy of Super Mario Galaxy and play through it with Mario AND Luigi. Have fun with it, because it truly is incredible and well worth your time.

Get over the fact that you’re not playing something that claims the title of “hard-core.” It just not worth putting hundreds more hours into a game that you’ve been playing for two years, when you could be giving some great games a shot on Wii. Take the time to be a diverse gamer. To be more well rounded as a gamer, and you’ll be more appreciative of the consoles you own. And if you must play “hard-core,” try Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.
