Wallet threat level: Miis on the loose!

, | Games

This week we get Nintendo’s latest flagship title, Tomodachi Life. From the trailers, I honestly have no idea what this game is, except that it populates the world with your Miis from Nintendo Wii somehow? But I thought Nintendo didn’t even have access to our Miis from the Wii anymore? Does that mean we’ll have to recreate them? No thanks Nintendo!

Capcom’s latest third-person shooter features an astronaut with a companion who looks like a little girl. I have somehow remained immune to Capcom’s success in recent years. The last Capcom game I actually played for an extended time was probably their last flop: Dead Rising 3. And I’m very interested in Pragmata. I wonder if that’s a bad sign for Capcom?

Also this week, Windrose enters early access. This age of piracy game had such a successful demo that it’s one of the most wishlisted games on Steam. And we’ve been seeing the trailer for Replaced for years as a cool cyberpunk setting done using pixel art. Another game that we’ve been seeing trailers for is Mouse: P.I. For Hire, the first person shooter set in 1930s cartoon noir setting. All three of those may pose a potential wallet threat this week.
