What else has Namco Bandai got? News

DS PlayStation 3 Wii
News by Robert Purchese

17 April, 2008

Namco Bandai had more to talk about at its Editor's Day than Soul Calibur for Live Arcade and an Afro Samurai game featuring Samuel L. Jackson.

It has National Geographic Panda, which sounds ridiculous. It's a DS game in a similar mould to Nintendogs, where you look after some pandas in a zoo and buy them swings and children to eat while learning about how they live.

Namco Bandai also has more Naruto, this time exclusively for PS3. Dubbed Ultimate Ninja Story, it will be the first of the anime series to be in full 3D, apparently, and marketing boss Todd Thorson thinks it looks so nice it "blurs the line between gaming and animation".

Alternatively, you can have a go at cheerleading in We Cheer. This is a rhythm-action outing for Wii that has you shaking the Wiimote and nunchuk like pom-poms. It also features plenty of bright colours and Bratz-like characters to hate or love, depending on your age.

There is the first in the Active Life series for Wii, too. Outdoor Challenge comes with its own Wii Fit-style-Twister-mat-thing that you step on to beat mini-games such as jumping on the heads of moles or hopping over rolling logs.

Or there was another Live Arcade and PSN shooter called PowerUp Forever. This has you cruising around space and growing bigger as you kill more and more enemies. But the larger you get, the more enemies take notice of you. Looks rather promising.

All are due out in the US this autumn.

Won't shaking the remote and nunchuck like pom poms be difficult thanks to the cable keeping them in close proximity of each other?

Or do I just have freakishly long arms? (Not that I'm hugely entertained by the idea of a cheerleading sim anyway, unless it comes with the outfit.)

Well, they won't breed, and they're carnivores that will only eat bamboo, which doesn't contain enough nutrients for them to survive properly so they have to eat 10% of their body weight a day

Poor reporting by Eurogamer. It's actually the first game that requires 2 remotes..no nunchuk is involved.

i thought samba was going to support any 2 controllers, as long as one of them was the wiimote...

i was going to use an atari 2600 joystick as the other

It's "Soulcalibur", as in one word. Not two.

This is getting exhausting.
