Line Rider for Wii, DS News
DS Wii News by Robert Purchese
Californian developer inXile has announced the development of popular Internet game Line Rider for the Wii and DS, with a scheduled release date of spring 2007.
Created by Bostjan Cadez, the game lets you pencil out ramps, hills and jumps, before letting a cleverly physics-programmed sledder career head-first down your course.
"I have been around the interactive entertainment industry long enough to have seen similar phenomenon like Tetris and Bejeweled become massive international hits, and Line Rider has all the elements to do the same," said inXile CEO Brian Fargo. "Line Rider is like a fully animated Etch-A-Sketch and will be perfect for the Nintendo DS and Wii."
The original has proved to be an immense hit with deranged YouTube users, who have created more than 11,000 videos which in turn have produced over 15 million views.
"Line Rider is becoming one of the most popular flash games on the web," reckoned Time.com, while The Wall Street Journal called the game, "Online gamers' new addiction."
Head over to the Line Rider website and put a virtual snow-reveller's life in peril while you're waiting for the Nintendo versions.

This isn't the first free flash game which has been hawked at full price on the DS, they seem to think they can get away with charging for something that's free.

I might get it on the DS if it throws in some fun extras and so on, simply because I've been waiting for a full on doodling game to come out.
Can't see it working on the wii though. I want Magic Pengel DS! |

As far as I rememberd Nintendo said that virtual console will also host arcade live style games. I am not too sure though. But this title would be perfect. And I can also imagine some nice connectivity between the DS and the Wii version.

I think it would be better on the DS then the Wii though. What with the internet browser, couldn't you just play the game on there?

Yep, when I was sat at Logan Airport last year for 5 hours playing Zoo Keeper I was thinking to myself... "why DID I pay $25 for this? I could be playing it on my PC for free" |
