When you’ve had a bit too much to drink, there are two choices: move on to tequila shots or… Mario Party for the Wii! Mario Party is amazingly fun when you’ve had a few too many drinks while sober it’s mearly “meh.”
Now, Ubisoft is trying to capture the drinking demographic, or more appropriately, the party crowd. The goal is to create a mini-game set created for partying and having fun with your Nintendo console. Enter, Play Zone, a new mini-game collection for the Wii.
Do we need yet more mini-game collections for the Wii?
“With our new Play Zone party titles, the Wii gamers who like to spend time with friends and family will have fun with the Wii through innovative and involving mini-games,” said John Parkes, Ubisoft’s EMEA marketing director. (next-gen)
Again, more “innovative mini-games” in our future? Ubisoft knows how to make a quick buck on casual games, no doubt, with their Petz franchise doing a killing for very simplistic games (which my daughter finds extremely fun).
The idea of more mini-games is slightly cringing but we do so enjoy a drunk game of Mario Party… maybe this is a good move.
Hey guys,
I haven’t written in for a while because you failed to speak bad of Vita all these weeks 🙂 the moment I heard Jonah flip flop on what media devices the Vita uses I knew I had to straighten it out (too bad about Jordan). Oh, there’s also work but I guess that’s a minor thing 🙂
The Vita uses cards and is still a great platforms with many great games. I just got the platinum trophy in Velocity 2X, which is just an amazing shoot’em up/platformer game. I wonder if it could break your dislike of the device…
I also haven’t been writing in because I didn’t feel I had much to add on the subject of the recent news items. However, the Windows 10 news is quite interesting. The reason they gave for skipping a number is great. Way to go with consistent naming, Microsoft! I’ve been using Windows since Win95 and they pretty much stick to the pattern of having every second system be terrible, as if they had two dev teams and one of them had no idea what they were doing. I bought a Win8.1 laptop recently (no touch) and I found it very hard to navigate through my apps. The Metro design sucks for mouse-operated devices and it’s not that intuitive for touch either.
Let me end with a little ‘about me’ section so that maybe Paul remembers me next time. We share the first name, after all 🙂 I’m 29, fonished college years ago and I’m trying to do a PhD in electronics/computer science. I also work for a startup which will one day be sold for… ONE MILLION DOLLARS (puts pinky in mouth).
Coming back to tje topic of Vita, my question to you guys. Which handhelds have you owned / do you own and enjoy a lot? Explain why 3DS is better than the Vita without using the words or phrases Link, Zelda, ‘the legend of’, ocarina 🙂
Cheers,
Pawel
