Dorjan6274d ago

I really hope they concentrate on the FUN aspect here. Sounds like they've got the right idea.

thetamer6274d ago

If ths is anything like space cadets, I'm not interested

Leord6274d ago

Haha, Space Cadets was awesome thoug! =D

Fyzzu6274d ago

Sadly, that news piece initially gave me the idea that it's going to be like a few older games I can think of - like, say, Damocles - and I now know it's not going to be anything like that. My heart is broken :(

Leord6274d ago

Meh, you are too weakling =P

AndyA6274d ago

Looking at the screens, it would seem not.

ceedubya96274d ago

Wasn't that the name of an old 80's movie?

ChaoticStupid6274d ago

Yes there was an 80s movie called Space Camp. A group of Kids at Space camp are launched into space and have to rely on their training and some help to get back safely. The Huntsville Space and Rocket Center in Alabama still holds Space Camp every year.

Curiosity Inspired - Space Camp Hours Report

"Space Camp was released for the Wii on May 26, 2009 and I believe it released with a MSRP of just $29.99. The game was developed by 7 Studios (now closed) and published by Activision, and it received an ESRB rating of "Everyone" with "Mild Fantasy Violence" listed as content for gamers and parents to be aware of.

The Curiosity Mars rover took 253 days (about 6,072 hours) to reach Mars. How many hours have U.S. Wii owners reported training for lunar journeys with Space Camp? Brew yourself some coffee, and let's take a look!", writes CoffeeWithGames.

91?

The last review was a 94.

Maybe it's just because I'm biased, but those seem low. Don't get me wrong, they're good scores...but the original Prime is one of the top-rated games of all time. Prime 2 was just as good, and Corruption is one of the Wii's very best.

All 3 of them for $50 in 480p widescreen with the the third game's control scheme? That's one of the best values in gaming.

DanteLinkX6128d ago

I would have perfect scored it.

Dringostarr6128d ago

I guess it didn't get a perfect score because they are re-releases, with little added graphical flare. And they were hardly perfect.

Still going to pick up a copy though. So much game play in them, and I never properly got round to finishing any of them.

Resident Evil Archives got 70... again, just re-releases of older titles... but they are well worth it, and some of the best examples of old-school Resi yet.

I wish Capcom would actually make a proper Resident Evil, 4-style, on Wii.

Gr816128d ago

Other M has A LOT to live up to.

EvilTwin6127d ago

There are the screen caps of Other M in a first-person view, too, so I don't think they're totally leaving the flavor of Prime behind.

The game will have a hard time living up to Retro's games, but it seems like Nintendo is inclined to experiment more with Metroid than their other big series.

pacowles6128d ago

Do want...never picked up MP2 or 3 for whatever reason and now I can get the entire series on one DVD with improved Wii controls; pretty legit package.

cyberwaffles6128d ago

metroid series is probably my favorite nintendo franchise. i wish more devs would handle their games like they did with metroid. metroid was awesome back in the day, it's awesome on handles and tributes to the classics, metroid prime series was an excellent reboot, and now the other M is looking phenomenal. i love the originality with the metroid games so much it's not funny. see, there's nothing wrong with being daring and trying something new.

GamerDad Review: Space Camp

It's the beginning of summer, and kids across the country will soon be sent to all manner of summer camps. But the one big summer excursion that many kids dream of attending is Space Camp. However, it's pretty expensive to go, so only a lucky few kids actually get the chance. But now, aspiring young astronauts can enjoy the fun of Space Camp right in their own living room with the Space Camp video game for Nintendo Wii.
