This week’s Media Create software chart is a departure from the Japanese dominated list we’ve grown accustomed to in the past. Four out of the top five titles were developed by Western studios, with L.A. Noire stepping all over inFamous 2 to cross the finish line in first place.
It’s interesting to note that both games were dished out a CERO Z rating in Japan, which is equivalent to an AO (Adults Only) rating in North America. The difference lies in that CERO Z games can be sold in regular game outlets while AO titles are only available through select avenues.
The original Wii Play is one of the best selling retail games ever made, mainly because it only cost $10 (or R100 in South Africa) more than a controller by itself. It was certainly worth that price as it, along with Wii Sports, were the two games that kept us coming back to the Wii in the early days.
The idea of a sequel must have been in Nintendo’s planning for a long time, but it took nearly two years after the release of the Motion Plus controller to create its accompanying Wii Play Motion. This game is also a pack-in, being sold along with the Wii MotionPlus at the same price as a controller on its own. As such, it’s a no-brainer if you’re looking for a Wii MotionPlus controller. And if you really enjoyed Wii Play you’ll find this game offers more content, although it’s likely you won’t find the same freshness in the new game – motion control has become commonplace and apart from a few of the games Wii Play Motion doesn’t push the state of the art of control forward.

If you’re a fan of gobs of horror and dollops of creep in your games, then you’ve certainly come to the right week, but if you’re more into the destruction of gigantic robotic creatures, or you enjoy playing mini-games with your friends, then the games releasing today in South Africa, the UK and Europe have you covered!
Even in this day and age of internet scoops, Nintendo managed to surprise us with a few announcements at the publisher’s E3 press conference this year.
At the top of the list was the Wii U, Nintendo’s next home console and the successor to the Wii. The tablet-like controller for the Wii U has a touchscreen, dual analogue circle pads, motion controls, speakers, a microphone and a camera. The controller screen can be used instead of or along with HDTV.
Wii Play: Motion will be available next week in North America, while the game will arrive on European and South African shores in late June.
Wii Play: Motion is the follow-up to Nintendo’s popular Wii Play and comprises 12 mini-games designed to take advantage of the enhanced motion capabilities of the Wii Remote Plus.
Core Gaming (official Nintendo distributor in South Africa) has today confirmed a late June release date for Wii Play: Motion, the follow-up to Nintendo’s wildly successful (million-selling) Wii Play, while revealing that the game will come bundled with a red Wii Remote Plus.
Nintendo of America has done us all ‘a solid’ and revealed the scheduled line-up of games due for release across the Wii, DS and 3DS in North America from now until the beginning of June.
Highlights of the list? A release date for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D (with Master Quest…for 3DS), and something called Wii Play: Motion (which comes standard with a WiiMote Plus).
