Capcom's Wii Line-up For 1st Half of 2009

Capcom has revealed (part of) its line-up for the first half of 2009. Unfortunately, Capcom only speaks about Wii titles we already knew about.

Capcom has today confirmed that three of its upcoming Wii titles will be released within the first half of 2009. Starting in February, Capcom will infect gamers with Dead Rising Chop Till You Drop, scheduled for release for the Wii on the 27th of the month. Based on the Xbox 360 title, which to date has sold over one million copies, the humour and challenge that made the original such a hit with gamers still remain, while many core elements have been totally redesigned for the Wii platform and audience, taking zombie bashing to a whole new level. With the added functionality of the Wii remote, players will be able to shake off zombie attacks and swing and throw dozens of makeshift weapons, from chainsaws to baseball bats in order to survive.

Also set for a release on February 27 is Nickelodeon's Neopets Puzzle Adventure, which will extend Neopets' virtual experience for fans when it is released for the Wii, Nintendo DS and PC. Neopets is consistently ranked as one of the top 10 stickiest sites and is currently the largest and fastest growing online youth community. With an exciting storyline featuring over 150 quests and three mythical lands to explore, Neopets Puzzle Adventure is the ultimate virtual-pet puzzle adventure game appealing to puzzle enthusiasts, casual gamers and fans of the Nickelodeon property.

Scheduled for release in March is MotoGP for the Wii. Due to hit retail to coincide with the pre-season activity for the 2009 MotoGP season, the title turns the Wii remote into a set of virtual handlebars as players compete across the three race classes in single races, a full championship or a series of challenge stages. Different handling models and AI rider characteristics allow ease of entry for riders of all skills whether a seasoned bike racing fan or new to the genre.

  Still weak lineup. Looks like they got nothing left after Tatsunoko VS Capcom.
