Super Mario Galaxy
Super Mario Galaxy is set in outer space, where Mario travels from galaxy to galaxy in order to collect Power Stars, which are earned by completing galaxies or defeating enemies. Each galaxy contains a number of planets and other space matter for the player to explore. The game uses a new physics system that allows for a unique feature: each celestial object has its own gravitational force, allowing the player to completely circumnavigate rounded or irregular planetoids, walking sideways or upside down. The player can usually jump from one independent object and fall towards another one nearby. Though the main gameplay and physics are in 3D, there are several areas in the game in which the player’s movements are restricted to a 2-dimensional plane, an element reminiscent of 2D Mario games.
Epic Mickey
Disney Epic Mickey is primarily an open-ended platform game with some RPG elements, and allows players to use their own solutions for getting through the levels. Epic Mickey features a morality system similar to games like inFAMOUS and Spider-Man: Web of Shadows. Different alliances, side-quests and power-ups are made available depending on the actions of the player. It is also possible to avoid boss battles if specific actions are taken.
Metroid: Other M
Set between Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion, Other M takes place in several locales around the Galactic Federation Bottle Ship. The main environment is the vessel interior, known as the Main Sector, where Samus meets up with Galactic Federation 07th Platoon at numerous points in the adventure, while the other environments are contained in “sectors” or gigantic spheres within the ship. These include the Biosphere, a lush jungle and a tropical rainforest; the Cryosphere, a sub-zero biome; and the Pyrosphere, a volcanic area with temperatures that Adam authorizes Samus to use the Varia Feature to survive in.
New Super Mario Bros
While New Super Mario Bros. Wii is seen in 2D, some of the characters and objects are 3D polygonal renderings on 2D backgrounds, resulting in a 2.5D effect (also seen in New Super Mario Bros.) that visually simulates 3D computer graphics. Players can play as either Mario, his brother Luigi, or two Toad characters: one blue and one yellow (with the first player always as Mario). Controls are similar to those of New Super Mario Bros., albeit with the added abilities of spinning in mid-air by shaking the Wii Remote, and picking up, carrying, and throwing other players. In multiplayer mode, players can play up to four players simultaneously. If a player character loses a life and has at least one life, he will re-emerge encased inside a bubble, and can resume play once another player frees him by touching the bubble (the player can shake the Wii Remote to move his bubble closer to an active player, but cannot free himself). If a player loses a life and does not have any more lives, he is dead until 100 coins are collected. Players can also encase themselves inside a bubble while a more skilled player traverses a difficult segment.
Red Steel 2
The game begins as an unnamed Hero, the last member of the Kusagari Clan, is being dragged across the desert, tied to the back of a motorcycle. He manages to break free, but Payne, the leader of the Jackals – a vast gang of thugs, murderers and thieves – steals the Hero’s katana. While running from the Jackals, the Hero rescues his old swordsmaster Jian who was to soon be executed by the Jackals. After the rescue, Jian allows the Hero to borrow his sword until the Hero can recover his own from Payne.
A Boy And His Blob
The planet Blobolonia is threatened by an evil emperor, and the titular “blob” flees to Earth seeking help. It crash-lands on Earth and finds the eponymous “boy”. They team up in order to dethrone the evil emperor, first by completing a quest on Earth and then by traveling to Blobolonia.[11] Along the way, minions of the Emperor attempt to stop them.
Guitar Hero 5
Gameplay in Guitar Hero 5 is similar to previous games in the series. Using a special game controller, players attempt to match scrolling notes as they appear on screen along a note track to mimic the playing of rock music and other songs. Hitting correct notes in time with the music increases the player’s score and builds up the performance meter, while missing notes will cause the meter to drop. Should the meter fall below a certain threshold, the song will end prematurely with the player booed off the stage by a virtual audience. Correctly hitting ten consecutive notes will add to the player’s score multiplier by one, up to a maximum of four times the original multiplier. Specially marked sections of the song, if completed correctly, help to build up Star Power, which can then be activated through an action with the controller to further double the current multiplier (up to 8x).
Mario Kart
Mario Kart Wii features 24 selectable Nintendo characters, more than any of its predecessors. In addition to this there are 12 variants (3 weight classes, 2 genders, 2 outfits) of the Mii, the digital avatar created by Nintendo. Twelve characters are available from the beginning; the other twelve and the two Mii variants become available after finishing certain elements of the game. The cast of characters includes 19 returning characters from the series and six newcomers; Baby Peach, Funky Kong, user-created Miis, Rosalina, Dry Bowser, and Baby Daisy, a new character in the Mario series. There are eight characters of each weight class. The Mii’s weight class depends on its height and weight (this can be customized in the Mii Channel), and its favorite color affects the color scheme of its clothing, while the gender affects the color scheme of their vehicles.
No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle
The combat is similar to that of No More Heroes, with mechanics such as wrestling moves and deathblows returning. There are four beam katanas, which Travis can freely switch between in the middle of battle, each with different properties. For example, the Peony is a large and heavy sword with a wide range, and the Rose Nasty consists of two beam katanas which Travis dual-wields. Although Travis starts at rank 51, there are only 15 boss fights. There are two sections in which Shinobu and Henry are playable, both of whom have different capabilities from Travis. Shinobu can jump, and her section contains some platforming elements, while Henry has the ability of making a quick dash in all directions by using the B button on the Wii-remote.
Monster Hunter 3 Tri
Players choose a weapon and complete quests for “The Guild”. There are several types of quests, some of these include gathering quests, hunting quests, and capturing quests. Completing specific quests will allow one to embark on their “Urgent Quest” which will allow progression to the next tier of quests, which applies to both offline and online play. Online players receive points and have a Hunter Rank which will increase once a certain number of points have been obtained. After several rank ups, and having a certain criteria of quests completed, a player will unlock their Urgent Quest. Players will need to gather materials to prepare for hunts which include herbs, mushrooms and seeds to make potions and various other consumables to give one the edge when fighting a formidable foe. Fighting a monster entails first finding the monster then dealing enough damage to either kill it, weaken it to be captured, or cause it to flee (not common, made specifically for certain quests). Players will need to learn the environments and the behaviors of the creatures. Many players will work together to try and take the monster or monsters down. Once the player slays a monster they will be able to carve off pieces which can be taken to the Wyverian Artisan (the blacksmith) to create new weapons and armor. Several other materials are used to make weapons and armor as well, including ores and bugs. A player can fail a quest several ways, the three most common being dying too many times (the standard quest allows 3 deaths total), running out of time (standard quest time is 50 min), or killing a monster when the quest goal was specifically to capture. Both online and offline players are given a house which they can decorate with various objects found throughout the game, although online players receive “upgraded” houses when they progress in rank.
