Data Design porting 13 games to Wii

Data Design porting 13 games to Wii

Data Design, a UK games developer is porting over thirteen of its previous PS2/PC games onto the Wii. They are:

  1. Action Girlz Racing
  2. Anubis II
  3. Billy the Wizard
  4. Earache Extreme Metal Racing
  5. Hamster Heroes
  6. London Taxi Rushour
  7. Mini Desktop Racing
  8. Myth Makers: Orbs of Doom
  9. Myth Makers: Super Kart GP
  10. Monster Trux Extreme: Offroad Edition
  11. Ninjabread Man (ehehe)
  12. Rock N Roll Adventures
  13. Trixie In Toyland

I'm probably not alone in saying I've never heard of any of these, they're likely to be budget efforts. Half of them will go to retail in Q2 this year, with the rest following later in 2007.

Needless to say, I'm not holding out much hope for this bunch of... games.

I want to get the Ninjabread man. It could be about a ninja who makes a ninja man.

I can only assume that Ninjabread man is pictured above. Let me guess, the last boss is his evil unbaked twin brother, the Pilsbury doughboy. Coming soon to Wii, NINJABREAD MAN! This time you're TOAST!

I played the Earache Extreme Metal Racing demo on the PC and it was cool. So there is a good chance I will pick it up. Then again I like it most because of the metal soundtrack.

Wiiboy101 you sound like Simon Cowell. Give these games a chance. They might actually be fun to play and also some of these games look kind of funny.

Ninjabread man is pure sweetness, but other than that the games look all rubbishy.

Gingerbread, ninjabread! I get it now! This game better be kickass.

soulbreather said:

Don't buy any of them! A magazine I read gave them all lower than 30%, an average game gets 70-80. The wizard, ninja and earache are the worst, hear me out, don't buy them.

Yes, I agree with everyone. These all look like rubbish. Wii doesn't need have a$$ed ports of PS2 titles. They are just in it for the quick buck.

I don't think I'm buying any of those. They probably suck.

They all sound terrible, but in europe I saw 'crazy frog racer' I and II and there was 'James Pond', you play as an agent/fish. They are all terrible (guess they are) and stupid.

I have played Ninjabread man and played Anubis 2, it's the same game but with different graphics. They just change a few things and call it a different game.

Enough ps2 ports! Ps2 is getting old and we need NEW games! Not rehashed ps2 crap with a few motion controls. These developers need to realize Wii is not a weak system. It's much stronger than ps2. Developers need to kick into action. These games sucked.

You know almost every game made by Data Design sucked. They should quit.
