Wii minigames going medieval

by Jason Dobson { Jan 13th 2009 at 10:45PM }

There ain't no party like a Medieval party 'cuz a Medieval party don't stop. Of course, that likely has more to do with rampant dysentery than any measure of fun, something we hope won't come packaged with Medieval Games, a new collection of minigames casually heading to the Wii.

The game is being hammered out by the ye olde blacksmiths at N-Fusion Interactive, with Bethesda sister company Vir2L Studios set to publish. Medieval Games promises to bring waggle to the Middle Ages with bite-sized dragon slaying, castle sieges and archery contests as players suit up as one of several "colorful" playable archetypes such as the knight, princess, bard or wizard. No release date or even screens from the game have been revealed, meaning we'll just have to learn to make do with the hojillion other minigame collections collecting dust on Wii shelves for now.

Don't let that kid fool you, Arthur! One pull on that rope and you will be left, standing only in your underpanties! (attractive underpanties, though they are)

I guess it makes sense, since the Wii's graphics generally look like they're from that time period.

Granted there are quite a few minigame compilations on the Wii, but they make up MAYBE 10% of all the games. People tend to exagerate the situation badly (i'm looking at you Jason Dobson!). Plenty of good games for gamers who aren't too lazy to shift through the crap games to find the amazing ones.

Nice pic tmac.

Just outta curiousity...what do you want from the Wii?

Blank-Mage @ Jan 14th 2009 4:00AM

I'm thinking he wants the Wii to be an Xbox. No, not LIKE an Xbox. Just flat out duplicate.

He probably just wants what all of us wanted out of the Wii, which is support not only by solid third-party publishers, but first-party games that are not almost EXACTLY like their last-gen predecessors (Mario Kart, Smash Bros., Animal Crossing) with token current-gen upgrades. It's just depressing.
