Nintendo Announce Price Drops For Wii Party And Wii Sports Resort In The USA From 25th April

Nintendo have announced that from 25th April, they are dropping the price of Wii Party and Wii Sports Resort in the USA. both games will have a suggested retail price of $39.99

Press Release

From sparking instant social fun with friends to putting an interactive twist on family gatherings, Nintendo's Wii Sports Resort™ and Wii Party™ games are surefire ways to get groups of all ages on their feet and laughing together. Starting April 25, each of these two must-have games for the motion-controlled Wii™ system are now even more accessible at a new suggested retail price of just $39.99. Both games offer hours of multiplayer enjoyment that friends and family members can share together, regardless of their age or prior experience with video games. Once the games get going, everyone wants to join in.

With a dozen resort-themed activities that maintain the wide-ranging appeal of the original Wii Sports™ game, Wii Sports Resort transports players to the tropical paradise of Wuhu Island. While there, every member of the household can get in on fun activities such as golf, basketball, archery, wakeboarding and Swordplay. As they swing the Wii Remote™ Plus controller (or a Wii Remote controller with a Wii MotionPlus™ attachment) like a golf club or wave it like a sword, players can watch their movements precisely replicated on-screen for an immersive, instantly enjoyable experience. Since launching in 2009, Wii Sports Resort has sold more than 10.7 million units in the United States alone.

Wii Party packs 13 party game modes and more than 80 minigames that will keep friends and family smiling and having a blast. Best of all, the game allows every player to take a turn in the spotlight by placing his or her customized Mii™ characters at the center of the action. Some of the included games put an interactive twist on popular board games like bingo, while others use the speaker and vibration functions of the Wii Remote to move the action beyond the TV screen and into the living room. In Hide 'n' Hunt, for example, players must locate Wii Remote controllers that have been hidden around the room, while Animal Tracker challenges them to pick up the Wii Remote making the correct animal sound.

Additional controllers are required for multiplayer modes and are sold separately.

Naughty Dog Announce The Uncharted 3 Beta Starts 28th June And Detail New Multiplayer Features

Naughty Dog have announced the Uncharted 3 Multiplayer Beta will start on 28th June 2011. The Beta will be global for those with Playstation Plus. Naughty Dog have released a new trailer for the multiplayer part of Uncharted 3 and it shows 2 levels, The Airstrip and The Chateau. The Chateau is a traditional multiplayer map, with multiple levels taking advantage of the traversal in Uncharted. The Airstrip is 2 parts. the first part takes place on a cargo plane and a truck convoy. the second part takes place in a hanger that occasionally gets strafed by fighter planes.



As Well as announcing a Multiplayer Beta, Naughty Dog have detailed some of the multiplayer aspects in the game, some of which are shown in the trailer. some new game modes include Three Team Deathmatch, where its 2 vs 2 vs 2. the other new mode is Free For All. another new feature is Late To Join. this drops players into multiplayer matches already running where there is space. A Big addition for Uncharted 3 is split screen online multiplayer, where 2 people on a couch can play under their own PSN ID's in several online multiplayer modes. Uncharted 3 will also come with a Buddy System option where you can share each others success.

Naughty Dog are also bringing over Uncharted 2 systems like the booster system. in uncharted 3 there will be new main boosters as well as new Paid Boosters. Uncharted 3 will have indepth customisation options for characters, logo's, and weapons, all of which are shown in the demo.

Naughty Dog is implementing changes into how a game is won. its now possible to have it so if the timer runs out and the scores are tied or very close, the game will go into Overtime. if its still too close to call, Sudden Death happens. During a match there are times when 1 team gets too far ahead. now there are Power Plays that will help the team behind catch up, but if the team ahead is good they can use this period to earn even more money.

The Final reveal today was an update on the social features in the game. Cinema Mode lets you create clips from matches and upload them to your YouTube or Facebook account. Uncharted TV will stream some selected videos to you. there is a feed in the Star Up menu that shows your friends and their uploads. You can use Facebook to invite players to your game or post screenshots of your customised character. you can also post treasures to your Facebook wall that your Facebook friends can click to unlock content in their Uncharted 3 game.
