Heeft iemand Resident Evil 4 al in een winkel gespot? Normaal liggen de Wii spellen 2 dagen voor de release al in o.a. de Bart Smit. Dit was bijvoorbeeld bij Mario Strikers en Excite Truck ook het geval.

Ik heb gisteren gezocht maar heb het spel helaas nog niet gevonden.

H&G: LucasArts' Ward Talks Wii Lightsaber Game

H&G: LucasArts' Ward Talks Wii Lightsaber Game As part of the final Hollywood & Games Summit panel in Los Angeles, LucasArts' Jim Ward has been discussing the oft-raised question of a lightsaber game for Nintendo's Wii, saying that the company has internal prototypes running using the Wiimote.

In response to a question from session moderator N'Gai Croal of Newsweek asking: "What would it take to make a lightsaber game for the Wii?", Ward, who is President of LucasArts and a Senior VP at Lucasfilm, commented:

"We’re all over that, and internally we have already played a lightsaber game on the Wii. It’s a lot of fun, and we’ll get there."

He added that the whole concept of a title using a lightsaber of Nintendo Wii was "...in place! There’ll be some stuff out this Fall - it’s going to be a lot of fun."

It's unclear whether Ward could have been referring to the TT Games-developed Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga, which will debut later this year on multiple formats including the Wii, or whether the company is planning further, as yet unannounced Wii-specific Star Wars games.

(The product page for The Complete Saga notes of the Wii SKU: "Motion-sensitive inputs give you exciting new ways to control your Lego Star Wars characters.")

The publisher is likely to reveal more information on its upcoming titles at the E3 Media Summit in Los Angeles early next month - Gamasutra will have the full write-up from the Jim Ward (LucasArts) and Neil Young (Electronic Arts) panel at Hollywood and Games in the near future.

Unfortunately, details on the game, which is simply called Cruis'n, are slim. What we do know is that players will be able to pick from "an impressive lineup of cars" that they can speed through twelve different street circuits. The title will be controlled with the Wii remote, presumably held classic style to steer. Meanwhile, the vehicles can be fitted with upgraded turbos, body kits, neon displays and nitrous boosters, among other things.

Otherwise, Midway is keeping really quiet about the racer, which is due out this November -- again, exclusively for Wii.

Game Party challenges players to use the Wii remote to partake in minis that revolve around darts, table hockey and hoop shoot, among others. Midway promises "more than a half dozen games" for the final product. In addition, there will be a full-blown trivia mode. The title is scheduled to ship this November.

Daar kan ik het spel inderdaad al online bestellen, dan heb ik het spel echter pas morgen. Mijn probleempje is dat ik vanavond veel tijd over heb en daarna waarschijnlijk 2 weken niet kan spelen. Ik denk dus dat ik nog maar een paar weekjes wacht en het spel dan uit een willekeurige winkel meeneem.

Ik moet helaas gewoon even geduldig zijn.
