I normally don't really care for minigames (Rhythm Tengoku and Wario Ware being two of the only exceptions), but it sounds like XSEED could be bringing something really interesting with their first title for WiiWare. Here is the listing for the game from the ESRB:
This is a collection of mini-games (i.e., party games) in which players train and compete in math, rhythm, and reflex/timing drills guided by a trainer named Sergeant Mindstrong. Mini-games include shooting numbered targets according to the sergeant’s instructions; performing timed salutes and “at ease” cues; and marching in time while holding realistic-looking rifles. Each mini-game contains the word hell in the title (e.g., “Hell Roll Call” and “Hell Calculation”), and the drill sergeant sometimes provokes the players by using insulting nicknames (e.g., “Meathead, “Arm Pit,” “Sugar Buns,” “Sissy,” etc.).
Hell Calculation? This is going to be GREAT. Siliconera speculates that it could be a localized version of the Marvelous title Discipline. At any rate, I'll be keeping a close eye on this one. Maybe it'll give me something to glow about on a future episode of RetroforceGo!
