Pipe Mania - Sept 30 - No price
No pic...
Pipemania is a fast-paced puzzle game in which players lay down a pre-ordained set of pipes on a tiled grid in order to keep the Flooze, a constant flowing substance that speeds up with progression, moving through the pipes as long as possible without overflowing. Players will need to be fast with their fingers and utilize quick and forward thinking, precise coordination, and keen awareness if they plan to survive the time constraints, pressure and accuracy needed to navigate through the game. There is no chance for players to let their guard down, as complication increases with new elements as players progress through the game.

Pipemania tests players' skills in five different game modes - world, arcade, bonus, multiplayer, classic, and best of the all - the original Pipemania game. Players navigate through more than 70 levels with seven different themes in order to build their Island World. The frantic puzzle game offers hours of entertainment with enhanced visuals, new play mechanics, multiple attacks and damages, various Floozes, and an army of characters for players to help and hinder along the way. The entire game can be played in single player or in co-op for competitive play between two players.

We Cheer - Sept 30 - $39.99

Putting players at the center of a nationwide cheerleading competition, We Cheer utilizes two Wii Remotes as virtual pom-poms to create an authentic cheerleading experience. Players must move the wireless Wii Remotes as directed by the on-screen indicators to choreographed routines, utilizing a full range of arm and body movements such as spins and twists. As each routine is successfully performed, the player will be able to recruit new team members to their squad, adding new cheerleading abilities and choreographed routines.

The first cheerleading videogame to offer licensed music, We Cheer features 30 smash-hit master recordings for players to perform to, including tracks from Hilary Duff, Aly & AJ, The Plain White T's and Natasha Bedingfield. Letting friends and family participate in the cheerleading fun, We Cheer features cooperative and competitive multiplayer modes for up to four players to determine who deserves to stand at the top of the pyramid. The game also features a workout mode that lets players keep track of approximately how many calories they have burned while cheering. Each character in the game is fully customizable, with a variety of uniforms, shoes and accessories to choose from for added personalization.

can i kill all sorts of animals and endangered species with blood pouring out?

T3kNi9e · 09-27-2008, 06:25 AM

You're likely to see a little dust poof when you shoot the animal, because blood doesn't exist in Nintendo's world

You guys have to remember, last week we got some pretty good games (at least in the US, we did). You can't expect top titles every week.

gpoleweski · 09-27-2008, 01:58 PM

I don't live in this 'US' you speak of, what good games did you receive that were to your likings?

I feel bad for you for living in the US.

Anyway back on topic
Do you guys know when Wario and Animal Crossing comes out?

manufan15 · 09-27-2008, 05:06 PM

I'm starting to question Nintendo's sanity.

Eagles · 09-27-2008, 05:08 PM

Just out of curiosity what's coming out for the PS3 and 360 this week? It may be a dull week across all platforms.

Wario is out already, released this past week. Been enjoying it myself. Nothing extraordinary about it though, but just some good ol' 2d platforming action.

Animal Crossing is supposed to be around November if I remember correctly.

NA already has Wario....too bad you have to wait.....

manufan15 · 09-27-2008, 05:18 PM

The PS3 has 1 game:

Silent Hill Homecoming. It looks pretty good. IGN thinks it is.

360 has Silent Hill Homecoming, Mega Man 9, War World, and Mobile Ops, The One Year War

Maybe with the exception of Silent Hill Homecoming, it's looks like a lackluster week in the industry. Next week Fracture is coming to PS3 and 360 and the demo was really fun to me.

BobbiMaGee · 09-27-2008, 06:28 PM

Geeze, I'm really embarrassed to admit this, but it was my dream in high school (long, long ago) to be a cheerleader. I made the finals but not the final cut.

The biggest reason I got the Wii was for exercise so this seems to fit right in. (Although it looks a little lame) Promise not to tell anyone if I get it?

MakaiZomby · 09-27-2008, 06:41 PM

WHat the hell happened to "Army Men" ?!

I remember Sarge's Heroes looking awesome but...wow.

Warioland Shake It, de Blob, Mega Man 9 (Wiiware), and Lego Batman all seem above average in my opinion.
