Hokuto Musō is a beat em up game created by Koei based on the Fist of The North Star Franchise. It was originally announced as a "mystery title" during the 2009 Tokyo Game Show as its story and characters are based on the famous Japanese comic and anime series. Hisashi Koinuma, producer of the Samurai Warriors series says that the staff aims to create a "new realistic feel" for the Fist of the North Star series while still being faithful to the original's roots. Tetsuo Hara and Yoshiyuki Okamura, the illustrator and writer of the original comic, has expressed their support and enthusiasm for the title. The game will be released in Japan on March 25, 2010 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 and considered as an official side spinoff to Koei's Warrior series.

Features
  • An adaptation of the venerable Fist Of The North Star franchise, Hokuto Musō is a game in the vein of Koei's other Warriors games, but has a much deeper emphasis on storyline.
  • It follows the first and most well known half of the FOTNS saga, starting with Kenshiro's quest to rescue his lover Yuria from Shin, his best friend turned rival, up to the series' conclusion with Kenshiro facing his brother Raoh.
  • It covers all the important storylines featured in the saga, including those of the Nanto Roku Seiken and Kenshiro's fellow Hokuto Shinken practitioners: Raoh, Toki and Jagi.
  • The basic controls and mission system are the same as most Warriors titles, but this game is different by borrowing more elements from the action adventure genre.
  • While a K.O count is still present, enemies don't necessarily swarm the players and appear in certain sections within an area.
  • Characters can also grab opponents, climb walls, or pick and throw items with the R2 trigger (PS3).
  • They may also need to destroy objects to clear alternative paths through an area.
  • When facing greater opponents or bosses of an area, players maybe forced into a one-on-one match with them.
  • Tapping the Circle (PS3) lets players use their character's various techniques from the comic.
  • These deadly techniques (or ougi) act as the character's type of "musou" in this game, allowing limited invincibility and massively damaging a target. When a technique is used, the game will momentarily freeze the action on the field until the move is completed.
  • The nature of implementing a technique varies on the character. For instance, Kenshiro's blows are straight forward and focus on precise one hit strikes.
  • However, Rei's moves requires players to be aware of timing.
  • During the execution of each of his techniques, players are asked to tap Triangle (PS3) at select moments in order to complete the move successfully.
  • Enemies are killed in a similar manner as the original comic, including blood and exploding bodies.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii is a side-scrolling platform video game being published and developed by Nintendo for the Wii video game console. The game was announced at Nintendo's press conference at Electronic Entertainment Expo 2009, and is slated for release in 2009. It will be the first game in the Super Mario Bros. series to feature multiplayer gameplay.

Features
  • The game uses elements of New Super Mario Bros. and also includes, for the first time in a Mario Bros. series game, simultaneous multiplayer capability of up to four players. It is played in classic style, with the Wii Remote held horizontally. Some movements such as jumping and attacks are performed with the buttons, whereas others like spinning in midair and picking up other players are performed by shaking the Wii Remote.
  • According to the E3 2009 demo, players can play as four characters from the Mario series: Mario (player one), Luigi (player two), and two Toad characters: one blue (player three) and one yellow (player four).
  • Players are able to pick each other up and throw them. If a player dies, he can resume play if one of the other players hits a bubble with him in it.
  • Items come in multiple quantities, either from item blocks, or bubbles that float by on screen. New items have been added, including a Propeller Suit which allows players to fly and a Penguin Suit which allows players to freeze enemies.
  • Players will also be able to ride on Yoshis, who display characteristics similar to the Yoshis found in Super Mario World and Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island.
  • While co-operatively played, the game also features competitive elements, such as trying to get the most points or coins. Rankings for each player are given at the end of each level, including stats such as enemies defeated, coins collected, and total points.
  • Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto confirmed during his roundtable interview in E3 2009 that the game will not feature online multiplayer.
  • The game will also be the first game on the Wii to feature "demo play", where players will be able to pause the game, let the game complete the level for them, and resume play at any time by unpausing.
  • New Super Mario Bros. Wii was announced at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2009. The game was created in response to Shigeru Miyamoto's desire to create the Mario series's single player gameplay for multiple players, as he was unable to bring these ideas to fruition in the previous installments. The Wii's hardware allowed him to have all the enemies and items on one screen, and allowed a camera that could focus on all players at once. The Koopalings (who orginally appeared as Bowser's children in early Mario Bros. games) appear as major villains of this game.
