I love colorful games, but sometimes there's a line between vivid and bright and just simply too much color. Look at that screenshot from Ninja Captains up there, for example. It's like your eyes just vomited rainbows, isn't it? Maybe it's just a bad screenshot.
Ninja Captains is a new minigame collection coming in October from Nordcurrent, which has you following the adventures of four ninja cats as they travel across the world to major locals like Tokyo and Sydney carrying out nutty tasks. I do have to hand it to Nordcurrent in that this could be one of the most realistic reasons for wacky minigames to be happening, but on the whole this looks like kid and/or family fare. Not that that makes it bad, mind you.

I can't think of too many party-oriented games that feature anything resembling a cohesive story. Super Smash Bros. Brawl comes to mind with the Subspace Emissary campaign, but that wasn't really much of a party. I also...
Go on and do it. I don't think anybody would blame you. Pac-Man Party is, conceptually, something that should be somewhat painful to consider. Another collection of mini-games for the Wii -- a market which inexplicably ...
Atlus revealed via press release that they have secured the North American publishing rights for 101-In-1 Sports Megamix. You can check out a trailer for the game above.
Based on the release and the trailer, this seems...
Man, let me tell you what I did NOT want for Christmas is a collection of holiday themed minigames, but you know, you say "minigames" and there's someone just waiting to make a Wii game for you. I guess I should be ...
(The exclamation point, as you can see, is actually in the title. Believe me, I’m no more excited than you are about this.)Wii owners like minigame collections, right? I mean, Carnival Games has somehow sold over 3 mill...
