Hudson recently held a press event for the press in San Francisco and Nintendojo was lucky enough to get an invite. While the purpose of the event was to show off Hudson's upcoming releases for 2009, the selection of games would make you think it was a Wii-specific event.
Being a hardcore gamer (especially one who grew up in the 80s and most of the 90s) means daydreaming about classic franchises that deserve a comeback. Most receive the sequel or reboot treatment, and some of them come out of nowhere. Games like Excitebike: World Rally and Contra ReBirth were expected, but Blaster Master Overdrive? Here are a handful of surprise games we never saw coming.

Orbs scattered across the racetrack give you cool defensive/offensive items to use on other racers, including bombs, missiles, shields, and turbo boosters. Four customisable characters are available with different attributes."
As with its boxed counterparts, there's a variety of control schemes and balance board support too, all of which work fine and none are insultingly simple. In fact, there's nothing particularly wrong with this WiiWare offering, but it's just so limp compared to those 'big' titles. Sure it costs a whole lot less, but this is a false economy. You'll have to take that up with the G20.
God, I wish Hudson would stop this stupid crap and just get Bomberman 64 on VC already.
