The gaming system Nintendo Wii will drop to a $199.99 suggested retail price as of Sept. 27.   This is $50 less than the current SRP of $249.   This includes the motion-sensing Wii Remote controller, Nunchuk controller and Wii Sports software, along with the Wii hardware.

Nintendo’s not slowing down in new game releases for the Wii, either. On Oct. 4, Nintendo will release Wii Fit Plus, and on Nov. 15 the multiplayer title New Super Mario Bros. Wii will be released.  This game will allow four players at once.

“Wii has reached more video game players than any game system before because it attracts everyone—both men and women, and people of all ages,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing, in a release. “Our research shows there are 50 million Americans thinking about becoming gamers, and this more affordable price point and our vast array of new software mean many of them can now make the leap and find experiences that appeal to them, whatever their tastes or level of gaming experience.”

The gameplay is fairly typical for “Rock Band,” in which gamers can play drums, bass, guitar or sing as they re-create some of the Beatles’ greatest hits. Added for “The Beatles” is the introduction of harmony on the vocal line. Gamers can plug in up to four microphones, allowing multiple performers to get in on the harmonies.

Players begin in 1963, with John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and George Harrison performing at the Cavern Club. From there, the band moves to “The Ed Sullivan Show,” to Shea Stadium, and beyond.

In story mode, the gamer re-enacts the career of the Beatles through 45 songs. Chapter Challenges require the gamer to repeat the songs at a higher level to unlock additional photos. And more songs are on the way: Three Beatles albums — “Abbey Road,” “Rubber Soul” and “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” — will be downloadable in coming months.

“The Beatles: Rock Band” doesn’t allow the gamer to import or export characters to or from other “Rock Band” games, but perhaps that’s appropriate. As much as “The Beatles: Rock Band” appears to be a mini-documentary in game form, it’d be pretty jarring for other characters to jump in and out of the game.

Adding to that documentary feel is the in-studio audio chatter in the “Abbey Road” portion of the game, which captures never-before released audio conversations among the Beatles.

There are multiple ways to buy “The Beatles: Rock Band.” The retail price of the game is $59.99. Want to go for total immersion? The premium bundle offers the game plus controllers modeled on McCartney’s Hofner bass and Starr’s Ludwig drum kit, along with a microphone and a mike stand, for $249.99. And sold separately are controllers based on Lennon’s Rickenbacker and George Harrison’s Gretsch Duo Jet guitar, priced at $99.99 each. Additionally, the game will work with previous “Rock Band” controllers and most “Guitar Hero” and third-party controllers.

The game succeeds at both of its probable goals: Expand the “Rock Band” demographic to include baby boomers, and expose younger gamers to Beatles music. With a “no-fail” option on the easy levels, those who haven’t played “Rock Band” will find “Beatles” a comfortable first start. And the quality of the musical presentation on “Beatles” will undoubtedly lure some new fans for the band from the music-gaming set.

John Michael Freeman of Stillwater will represent Oklahoma in the World Championships of the Pokemon video game.

“Me and my friends have played the Pokemon games forever,” Freeman, 21, said. “We finally decided we weren’t ever going to get over it, so we decided to try out a competitive tournament.”

The Pokemon national championships in St. Louis

The Pokemon national championships in St. Louis

After playing a regional tournament in Dallas and getting “destroyed,” Freeman wasn’t sure if he wanted to play at another tournament. But when the national championships were announced in St. Louis, Freeman decided to try again. But the Lawton Eisenhower graduate would need some luck – he’d have to win a lottery to even enter the tournament. Since his rankings at regionals didn’t immediately qualify him, it came down to the luck of the draw.

“You could walk in and play in Nationals, if you were lucky to get drawn,” Freeman, an Oklahoma State student, said. Freeman went with three friends, two of which, along with Freeman, were drawn into the tournament.

The St. Louis tournament was a Swiss format tournament for the first day, in which Freeman posted a 4-1 record.

His record on the first day of Nationals got him through to the second day, which a single-elimination bracket, with best-of-three determining who would advance. That second day, Freeman won his bracket, which gained him a seat at the world championships in California.

Freeman said unlike “Halo,” the requirements of “Pokemon” are more mental preparation than muscle memory.

“Pokemon is a strategy game, and like any other strategy game, a lot of it’s thought,” Freeman said. “The upfront side of it is all kinds of planning and critical thinking.”

The World Championships begin today at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront in San Diego. The winner will receive a trip for four to Tokyo, New York or Oahu, Hawaii. The winner also receives an invitation to defend his or her title at the 2010 World Championships, in addition to other prizes.

SAN DIEGO — Video game fans can get an up-close look at two MMORPGs from Sony Online Entertainment at Comic-Con: Free Realms, available now, and DC Universe Online, release date to be determined.

Margaret Krohn, apprentice game designer with SOE, said Free Realms took elements of lots of other kinds of games and melds them into a deep, immersive online game.  The game, which is free to play, lets gamers choose from a large list of jobs and tasks.  If you get bored of one particular kind of job, you aren’t stuck with it — you can switch.

SOE staff said Free Realms has close to 5 million users and is a family-friendly game.

DC Universe Online has been in development for a while, as I played a version of it at last year’s Comic-Con.  It continues to near completion, but it won’t come out until it’s ready, said Herb Ellwood, senior UI designer for the game.

The game will feature a fully built out Metropolis and Gotham City, and every item in the game comes from a DC Comic, except for the player-created characters.  However, those characters will still fit in the DC style, as every item that can be used to create a character was approved by artist Jim Lee.

NEW YORK – Harry Potter’s sixth adventure comes to video-game systems in “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,” developed by EA.

John Fenno, senior product manager with EA for the Harry Potter franchise, said “Half-Blood Prince” builds from where the developer left off with “Order of the Phoenix.”

“With the last game, we built up this incredibly detailed Hogwarts,” Fenno said at the “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” press junket in New York City. “We’ve taken it to the next level; we’ve given you full camera control.”

“Half-Blood Prince” plays out the story of the film, with an opportunity to collect mini-crests along the way. Dueling, Quidditch and potions are three club levels built into the gameplay.

“Along the way, there are experiences that you have, whether it’s flying in Quidditch, where Harry is playing as the seeker, or dueling, where you can enter the club and take on characters like Malfoy and Snape, for example,” Fenno said. “Those experiences become more and more challenging as the game goes on. So, as you pick up experience, you’re facing off against more challenging opponents, until you get to the ultimate fight at the end.”

Fenno said more locations were added to the game this time around.

“Within Hogwarts, it’s the entire campus of the school. If you can name a location, it’s pretty much there,” he said. “New locations for this game include the astronomy tower, the burrow … the boathouse, I don’t think we had in the last game.”

Fenno said the goal of the development team is to provide authentic, fun gameplay for families.

“Our goal is to be as authentic to the movie as possible, to deliver as much fun and action from the movie as we can and play out that story and provide a really detailed Hogwarts for people to explore,” he said.

Fenno said the EA group has a great relationship with Warner Bros. and those making the movies, as well as with author J.K. Rowling. He said some shots from the films were planned based on environments created by EA. And the Harry Potter gaming fun isn’t expected to end with “Half-Blood Prince.”

“We haven’t made any announcements yet as far as upcoming titles, but we do have the license to make games based off the movies, so as those movies surface, we’ll be right there with them,” Fenno said.

Like many Oklahoma boys growing up in the 1980s, Justin Thomas played with Transformers, the action-figure robots that change into trucks, jets and other vehicles. Now 34, he is turning his boyhood fantasy into the art direction for the “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” video game.

justin-thomasAfter graduating from Edmond Memorial High School in 1993, Thomas attended the Art Institute of Dallas, focusing on computer graphics. Upon graduation, he found work in the video game industry, eventually working on the “Medal of Honor” and “Call of Duty” World War II franchises.

“I’ve been doing World War II games for longer than the U.S. was involved in the war, so I’ve got quite a bit of World War II knowledge rolling around up there,” Thomas said. “It was an absolutely incredible time. Some really great and heroic stories.”

Now living in Los Angeles, Thomas is the art director of “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,” based on the Michael Bay movie set for Friday release. The “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” video game will be released Tuesday. Thomas said several people working on the game were fans of the property and wanted to do it justice.

“The first and foremost thing that we concentrated on was getting the transformations right; really getting transformers-rotf-optimus-prime-shanghaithe feel of being one of those bots, one of those Transformers, this giant robot just kind of rumbling through the city,” he said. “The transformations are very fluid. … There’s lots of really quick activity. It’s almost like a parkour with these giant robots.”

Thomas visited the set of “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,” and pitched ideas to Hasbro for updating classic characters for the game.

“Who knows how much money my parents sunk into buying toys from them when I was a kid,” he said. “So, it’s kind of amazing. It feels like everything’s come full circle.”

How do you bring a hit movie to video-game screens? Brian Wiklem, senior producer of the “Up” video game for THQ, said it’s about telling the story in between the moments of the film.

“You try not to replicate everything you see on film, otherwise you’re playing something that you just watched, and we want to offer an expanded experience,” Wiklem said.

In “Up,” retired balloon salesman Carl Fredericksen is joined by a stowaway in his house, which is held aloft by balloons and en route to South America. Carl discovers young Wilderness Explorer Russell is along for the ride.

“In the film, there’s a big bonding and relationship aspect between Carl and Russell that gets evolved over the film, so we try to play up on that,” Wiklem said. “When you play the game, there’s constant bantering back and forth. And it’s not just gameplay-related; we’re also trying to develop the story a little bit further.”

Wiklem said the development team is concerned about movie spoilers but also figures 90 percent of the game’s audience will have seen the film.

“That’s always a concern, especially with how we opened the ‘Up’ video game by starting off with a major event that actually happens at the end of the film,” Wiklem said. “We were a little bit concerned about that, but we wanted to open the game with a very big moment to get the player sucked in.”

Wiklem said while it might seem easier to develop a video game based on animated visuals, he thinks expectations add another level of difficulty.

“People expect the games to look almost identical to a Pixar film or a DreamWorks film or any other film, carl-stylizedfor that matter,” he said. “It’s really hard to do that. I think it’s probably a little bit easier to do photo-realistic textures than it is trying to match how Disney-Pixar does their graphics and the details.”

The way they worked around that for the Nintendo Wii version of “Up” was to create an art design based on the style guide for the film, which was a stylized representation.

“It was a different way of dealing with the tremendous graphic differences between not just the consoles but also the film,” Wiklem said.

In honor of Steve Wiebe’s attempt to break the “Donkey Kong” record at E3 yesterday, I’m posting my Sept. 2007 review of “King of Kong,” which ran in The Oklahoman.

–

It’s “Rocky” for the video game set in “King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters,” one of the best documentaries of the year.

Director Seth Gordon follows science teacher Steve Wiebe’s attempts to become the world champion of “Donkey Kong.”

After being laid off from Boeing, Wiebe spends hours in his garage, working on his “Donkey Kong” game. He saw the world record on the Web site of Twin Galaxies, Walter Day’s video game records clearinghouse, and figured he could beat it.

During Wiebe’s world-record run, taped for posterity from his basement, you can hear his son yelling, “Dad! Stop playing ‘Donkey Kong’!”

Unfortunately for Wiebe, there’s no pause button on the 1980s “Donkey Kong” console. Still, Wiebe manages to beat the record and send in his tape with a new world-record score. End of story? Not even close.

Billy Mitchell, named gamer of the century in 1999 and a longtime record holder on “Donkey Kong,” calls Wiebe’s accomplishment into question. Mitchell, called a Jedi of video gaming, comes off more like a Sith in “King of Kong.” Every move Wiebe makes to break the record or have his record legitimized is countered by Mitchell, who, like a world-caliber video gamer, seems to be thinking three or four moves ahead.

Mitchell, now a hot-sauce mogul, set the “Donkey Kong” record in 1983 and more recently played the world’s first “perfect game” of “Pac-Man.” He’s one of the video game establishment’s brightest stars, while Wiebe is an outsider.

Wiebe’s long-suffering wife goes along with his plans to break the record at a live video gaming event, to be the “Donkey Kong” record holder submitted to the Guinness Book of World Records.

Wiebe’s slightly irrational quest is clever, funny, engaging and more universal than it might seem.

“Alan Wake” features an author whose wife goes missing in a new game from Remedy.  The trailer, which debuted at E3, has a Stephen King-type vibe.  A blocked writer takes a vacation to Bright Falls, where his wife disappears – and Alan Wake’s manuscript begins to come to life.

http://www.justin.tv/g4tv_wiebecam

Watch live video from G4TV - Steve Wiebe Donkey Kong Cam on Justin.tv

UPDATE: He fell short of his attempt to break the record, but did finish with 923400 points.
UPDATE 2: He’s trying again!
UPDATE 3: And Donkey Kong wins again, stopping Wiebe at 683,700.   Man, this game is tough. It’s a reminder, watching Wiebe play this game at such a high level, how the early games were designed to suck quarters out of kids’ pockets as fast as possible.  Games have advanced in a lot of ways, but there’s something about the brutality of something like a “Donkey Kong” that’s almost beautiful.  On the face of it, so simple, yet so difficult to actually master.
UPDATE 4: Steve Wiebe steps up again to take another shot at the record.
UPDATE 5: The feed appears to be down.  Twitter commenters are indicating the machine blew a fuse.
UPDATE 6: And now he’s going again!
UPDATE 7: He’s at 700,000! Go Steve!
UPDATE 8: Wiebe has broken 830,000.
UPDATE 9: He has broken 900,000!
UPDATE 10: Wiebe is at 950,000.  The record is 1,050,200 points.
UPDATE 11: 975,000!
UPDATE 12: Game finished at 989,400.  So close!  Man, this has been surprisingly compelling viewing for sitting and watching a guy play a game that’s basically extremely repetitive.  I really wanted him to get the record.

The first trailer for Beatles: Rock Band debuted at E3, and it looks like a pretty cool game. It spans the career of the Beatles, and has a nice visual look. Other than the importance of the band being profiled, I don’t know that this is any bigger a deal than the other band-specific Rock Band titles. I expect this will sell well, but won’t redefine the genre.  That said, I’m looking forward to playing it.  Thoughts?
