Activision doing new range of Wii games News

Wii News by Ellie Gibson

10 February, 2009

Because they just won't stop till they own all the money in the world, Activision Blizzard is launching a new range of Wii games.

The first six titles to be published under the Fun4All label will hit the shops this Friday. Topping the bill are Pirates: Hunt for Blackbeard's Booty and Monkey Mischief. You can probably guess the themes. And that they're mini-game compilations. And the score they're likely to get on Eurogamer.

Then there's Block Party, Pitfall: The Big Adventure and Little League World Series Baseball. And because no new range of Wii software would be complete without a sports-themed collection of mini-games, there's World Championship Sports - tennis, basketball, football, hockey, ice hockey and, but of course, lacrosse.

Can't wait.

So, who's super excited? Not only everything that's mediocre about some Wii shovelware, but with added short development times!

Though to be fair the Pitfall game has the potential to be average at least.

Huh? I'm sure a feature from one of the recent MCV mags in work I read, a rep from Activision said that developing mini game after mini game for the Wii was somehow beneath them and that they'd never need to resort to things like that. :/
That lasted a long time...

Have Activision also bought the Minigame Construction Kit? I'm planning 'Wizbob Fun Olympics 2009' as we speak.

Wow, that's awesome. I'm beside myself. With excitement even.

Well, at least we have Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 to look forward to from them...I cannot imagine the Wii port will be less playable than the first one.

activision = the new ubisoft on wii,

they can both get lost and take this rubbish with them. This shovelware just looks even more absurd when you look at the 3rd party stuff coming from publishers like sega. Some western publishers need to get a grip.

Actiblizzard, please take your shovelware and kindly do one. You truly have become EA at its very worst.

Poor old Pitfall Harry. If he could have forseen his future, he'd have willingly jumped into a croc's open gob way back on the 2600.

Worringly you can see companies not risking doing big budget games anymore.
When they can just knock out wiiware.

Ubisoft is at least localising stuff like Tenchu, so I'm willing to cut them some slack.

Still, that Job Island game looks pretty cool and I don't have any mini-game collections yet. Maybe we do need some more...
