...So yeah... Monolith Soft's latest effort hits Japan on 9/25. Will this be Nintendo's new IP for the hardcore?

I thought Nintendo's bid for the "hardcore" was going to be MadWorld?

Either way, Disaster: Day of Crisis looks like it'll be one to watch for; much like Disaster Report and Raw Danger, it seems it'll be blending together natural disasters, ridiculous conspiracy-tinged plots, and cheesy voice acting.

A winner, to say the least!

Looks like a collection of genre cliches mashed into one really boring game.

As generic as it is, I think it could mean good things for the Wii if it's fun. I don't think the console ever quite recovered from Red Steel sucking. Who knows, maybe the Wii'll stop getting family-friendly puzzle/Wii-fit/Brain Age knockoff dumpware and start getting... mainstream dumpware.

For some reason the setting is really appealing to me. I've never played a game where you go through numerous disasters like this.

The premise is interesting, but the main character looks like Travis Touchdown with all his otaku qualities replaced with actual slickness, he's doing it all to rescue a little girl (aww, even though he's surely rough around the edges and dangerous, this proves he has a sensitive side), and he's fighting terrorism. "Oh, OK. I hate terrorism. Therefore, I must like fighting it in this game."

I really hope that the Wiimote gestures are simple, intuitive, well-executed, and having some repetition instead of coming up with a new gesture for each obstacle, and having it illustrated each time. I feel watching a diagram overlaid on top of the actual action subtracts from the immersion a little bit. Once it's introduced, you show the diagram, have three more in rapid succession without the diagram, bam. The player knows the skill.

Game is now out in Europe. I must say the main theme has to be one of the best from Nintendo as of late...
