Pheonix Games - like stuff: Now on my Wii (all 13 titles...)

English developer Data Design Interactive has recieved the license to develop and publish Wii-games from Nintendo, and has decided to celebrate this by porting twelve of their PS2 and PC-efforts over to Wii. Six of these games will release in Q2, the other half in the second half of 2007.

The first 6 games:
Billy the Wizard
It’s no fairytale when there’s an evil force around. Use your magical spells to attack evil dragons that have taken over the skies above ‘The Wizards Castle’. Or take part in the sorcerer’s ultimate challenge as you race alongside other wizards in the enchanting Broomstick Grand Prix.

Myth Makers Super Kart GP
Fantastic friendly fun and mad cartoon racing, rolled into lots of exciting challenges against characters, with unique abilities. Challenge your friends to leagues, cups or time trails or face a solo challenge to try to defeat the evil Mumbra.

Anubis II
The evil spirit has risen again and taken physical form. A ‘Pharaohs Curse’ has been placed over the fastest, strongest and most poisonous of Egypt’s inhabitants. The Gods have called on the only warrior that could rid the sands of these evil monsters and return peace to Egypt… The mighty Anubis.

Ninjabread Man
Candy Land is under attack! This once sweet and tasty land has been taken over by hordes of snapping Cup Cakes, Angry Bees and Jelly Monsters. Only one man can stop this evil army of monster cakes. He’s one tough cookie; a guy that won’t crumble under the pressure...... ’Ninjabread Man’ is here!

Monster Trux Extreme
This is the super-charged turbo-driven world of Monster Trux Extreme - you and your friends will be racing huge V8 powered Monster Trucks around rugged terrain, including islands and volcanoes. Race well and earn prize money, which you can use to unlock extra Trucks, levels and bonus features.

Elviz: Rock N Roll Adventures
Bash and Trash crazed instruments with Elviz's legendary guitar, or strum those strings for a bolt of Sonic Power to blast away Deadly Drums, Run, Push, Swipe and Jump your way through the massive levels with moving objects, intelligent enemies and hidden rooms! Its time to ROCK N ROLL!

And now, the boxarts:

    Needs more Cartoon Movie and Pairs.

    Seriously though, this looks nowhere near as bad as Phoenix's stuff. Probably because the art doesn't suck balls.

    Guys.

    This is a clear sign that the Wii is doomed.

    Jeez, I hope they don't release these in the fall. They'd eat up a TON of Nintendo's sales.

    Metroid Prime 3 = Hamster Heroes/Action GIRLZ Racing
    Super Smash Bros. Brawl = Ninjabread Man (just go with it)
    Super Mario Galaxy = Anubis

    This could be bad news for Ninty.

    And Ninjabread Man. That's gotta not totally suck.

    Good lord.

    I need a good FPS for the Wii. Maybe scalable split-screen based on available pixels.

    Look pretty damn similar to Phoenix Games to me.

    Hell, Phoenix Games publishes that Myth Makers stuff as well.

    I bought the PC version of this for a relative who likes the colour Pink for... £1.

    The same store had PC versions of many of the other games here for the same price.

    Very impressive - I don't think I've ever thought to buy a game for someone based entirely on their color preference.

    "Hey Jim, I heard you liked the color black, well I found a PC game where just about everything is pitch black..."

    Doesn't Nintendo have to green light games before they're published for their consoles?

    WHY THE HELL WOULD ANYONE ALLOW THESE TO LIVE?
