Okay, so it isn't a game. However, the charging system that I have does not work very well. This Energizer model uses not contact and charges through induction. Pretty sweet if you ask me.
Look at the cover. A rehash of the original released in 1997 for the N64. The remake is being handled by Eurocom and published by Activision. They are touting the return of the infamous Goldeneye multiplayer. Seriously, as anyone who has played games since the late 90's and bring up the movie Goldeneye. It will inevitably turn to the game, I guarantee.
A throwback to overhead RPG's made popular on the SNES. Borrows heavily from the Legend of Zelda series and is quite proud of it.
I have the first one that was released back in 2008. You play the part of Darth Vader's secret apprentice that is very adept with the force. Vader, of course, seeing his chance to overthrow the emperor trains this boy from his youth to be a Dark Side powerhouse. Vader did betray him, which led to his apprentice's eventual death to protect the fledgling rebellion that he helped start. In the sequel, you play as a clone of the apprentice... or do you?
Donkey Kong Country was a series made popular with three entries on the SNES. In my humble opinion only the first two were great, with a third effort that excluded Donkey Kong himself (I know!). This game is being handled by the capable folks at Retro Studio, a Texas based game developer. They have earned Nintendo's praise with their steller Metroid Prime Trilogy, a re-imagining of the great heroin Samus for the first time as a first person shooter.
Okay, so Sonic is way old school. He has not translated to 3D very well. I can't think of a good one. Well, this one is supposed to be the second coming of Sonic. All preliminary reports say that it is the best 3D sonic in years. Heres hoping!
Okay, I know a Mickey game sounds odd. Back in the day of the SNES he had lots of fun challenging outings. I can still remember playing The Magical Quest starring Mickey Mouse for hours. This game revolves around Mickey entering a sort of dumping ground for all the forgotten and unused Disney characters. It features a new paint mechanic where, using a magical brush, you can erase the world with paint thinner, or repair the world with paint. You travel through Mickey's old cartoons and some new ones. It looks quite exciting. The picture shown is the Collectors Edition, not necessarily required.
So this one is pretty self explanatory. This is EA's first hockey game on the Wii. It comes with the stick peripheral to play with. It controls well, and looks well to boot. Plus the Great One is on the box. Can't go wrong. Plus the ad on TV is hilarious.
That's it then. All the games and accessories I can think of today. As always, check the side for past updates, comment if you think I'm nuts!
Cheers!
