Video Tour – The Munchables

The Munchables is a very clever and unique game on Wii. I guess the best way to describe it would be it mixes the eating aspect of Pac Man with the growing / leveling up concept of Katamari Damacy. Please check out the Overall Demonstration below to learn more about this crazy game!

We Ski & Snowboard is a great 3rd Party game developed by Bandai Namco. I was actually surprised to see just how fun the game turned out being. There’s lots to see and do, controls work spot on and the visuals are pretty nice as well. Be sure to sit back and watch this full 15 minute Tour of the game!

Please note that WiiFolder Video Tours are generally lengthy and High Quality. If you’re using a slower internet connection you may want to view this Video Tour in Low Quality to prevent slow load times.

Tour – Family Trainer: Athletic World Games Pt. 1

Josh Thomas — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 00:15:24 +0000

It’s always a fun bonus when I actually need to show you guys how a game is played in a Video Tour. In this brand new Tour for Family Trainer: Athletic World you’ll get to watch me sweat my ass off while playing through 6 of the games.

Another Video Tour for more games will be up very shortly. Just from playing this game about a week I’ve already noticed firmer muscles in my legs. Trust me I check out my legs all the time so I would know.

Upcoming Coverage – Family Trainer

Josh Thomas — Mon, 26 May 2008 06:52:51 +0000

Now that Wii Folder is a website that updates several times a week, it’s only natural that I’m going to begin covering more games. I’m the kind of person who loves crazy, fast-paced type games where you can really get into what you’re playing. So having said that – Get ready for some Family Trainer coverage next week!

Family Trainer: Athletic World is a game that controls with something called the Power Pad. Old school gamers might remember this mat from waaaay back in the NES days. In fact Family Trainer (Athletic World in NA) was a NES game that is being remade for the Wii.

Not only does the game use the Power Pad, but it also features games that use the Wii Remote as well. You can even play with 2 people at the same time, each player standing on one side of the pad. Some games are co-op where you work as a team, and some are competitive and pit you against the person beside you.

It seems like a nice fun game to wrap up May with right? I’ve added some screen shots of the game below. Obviously the graphics are very simplistic… but who honestly cares?

Hey everyone! Hope you’re all having a great afternoon. It’s so hot outside, after this post I’m off to begin opening up our pool. I’m obsessed with summer and hot weather, it’s so nice to be done with the crappy cold temperatures!

While I’m gone scrubbing away the slime that accumulates on the pool cover, you guys can take it easy and check out all the latest Japanese updates from the Everybody’s Nintendo Channel! I’ll catch you guys later tonight with some more updates.

This crazy mini game / workout game from Namco actually seems pretty fun. It uses a DDR style mat that 2 players can use at once. I’m thinking of importing this game when it comes out at the end of the month. You guys interested in some coverage for it?

Honestly, I have no clue how to play Mah-jongg. Hell, I had trouble even figuring out how to spell the name! If you’re into the game you should like this Wii Ware version though. It offers Mii support as well as WiFi play for up to 4 people.

Trailer – Shiren the Wanderer 3

When it comes to game genres RPG style is not my cute of tea. Shiren the Wanderer 3 seems to be a VERY Japanese RPG style game that I’m guessing fans may want to keep an eye on. After all Wii is pretty short on RPG games, right?
