You know a video game is good when the time you spend not playing it is littered with odd feelings and hallucinations. Don’t know what I’m talking about?
Take Tony Hawk for the N64, when I wasn’t playing the game at home, I was viewing nearly everything in the real world as “grind-able.” That telephone line? Yea, I could probably grind it.
Well, for me, Adventure Island for the NES was one of those games as well. My Pops brought that and Paperboy home one night and, man, we must have played for 5 hours straight. From that day on, every snail I have seen since I have wanted to either Ollie over on my skateboard or hit with a tomahawk.
Well, I get to relive that fantasy soon on my Nintendo Wii, it would seem. Hudson is going to take another crack at their Adventure Island line, and the game will be released for WiiWare. It is said to be in its early development stages.
Hudson’s Takahashi Meijin says that he doesn’t want to force the Wii motion controls into the game’s mechanics. How…utterly…novel.
