 Popcorn Arcade Races for Gold for Nintendo Wii…    

 Stourbridge, England – October 8, 2007 – Video games publisher and games developer Data Design Interactive are pleased to announce; ‘Offroad Extreme, Mini Desktop Racing and Monster Truck Arenas’ have all gained Gold status for the Nintendo Wii and will be released in the 4th Quarter 2007 under the companies dedicated Nintendo Wii label Popcorn Arcade.    

These three games offer distinctive driving experiences from ‘Mini Desktop Racing’ where you race in a one-inch miniature world in officially licensed Minis, where everyday objects appear immense in size and can become lethal hazards. ‘Offroad Extreme’ is where off road racing takes on a whole new meaning! You will race a variety of off road vehicles through tough challenging environments, around rugged terrain, along valleys and through ancient cave structures and finally ‘Monster Trux Arenas’ lets you drive awesome, monstrous machines in some of the toughest arenas and bump, smash and crash into other drivers to send them off the road, bursting into a flaming hunk of twisted metal.    

These games will be added to their Christmas line up of 14 Nintendo Wii titles that the company is in the process of releasing this year.

While Mini Desktop Racing sounds like something I might enjoy (and I'm thinking it is probably a lot like the XBLA's Mad Tracks), this announcement just reeks of mediocrity. Isn't this the same company responsible for "Billy The Wizard", "Ninjabread Man" and a bunch of other Wii shovelware?

Kairon will be pleased!

I had a chance to look at the back of the box of Ninjabread Man a few days ago. The thought of a gingerbread man cutting up evil confections in a shower of raspberry jam blood was slightly amusing.

Hooray!  14 titles for Wii from one single company.  Increased Wii shelf space to entice buyers and potentially convince larger companies that the Wii is the way!
