![]() It and the original "Excite Truck" are two of my personal top favourites on the Wii and I would very much welcome an HD outing or the series. I was lucky enough to have a few Japanese and American imports on my (ridiculously extensive) Wii game collections and I must say It's beyond me why "Excitebots" remained a US exclusive. Thu 22nd Jan Oh hi there, familiar face from the webs!.Throw in some handsome cel-shaded graphics and this is a thoroughly decent experience that we'd happily revisit. Using MotionPlus we finally got some enjoyable sword-wielding action, while mixing hacks and slashes with precision gun aiming was rather fun. Ubisoft shouldn't have called this Red Steel 2, simply because the original Red Steel notoriously failed to deliver on its promise of exciting swordplay. Utterly mindless and with a space-opera story - with cut scenes that exasperated a tone we'd arguably already seen in Metroid Fusion - it can be a fun ride while it lasts. Team Ninja got carried away, too, but this is nevertheless an interesting blend of 2D / 3D / first-person action. Not everyone likes the direction that series creator Yoshio Sakamoto followed but, heck, it's his series and he had the right to tackle it his way. Not in the same league as the finest work by Retro Studios, it is - however - entirely unique from the iconic Prime games. ![]() We can hear the grinding teeth and sense the angry comments coming, but we're going to stick by this choice as a title we'd welcome onto the eShop. We've picked 20 games, then, the first 10 of which are below (in no particular order). These are games we'd love to download from the eShop, but whether that's a practical reality is something else besides. When thinking about Wii games we want on the eShop, however, we've spread our wings further to include more third-parties. We'll see how much the North American and European line-ups match in the weeks and months to come, though a trend with these entries is that they were all developed and / or published by Nintendo - though XSEED published Pandora's Tower in North America, with the big N publishing in Europe.
