Pokewalker lets your Pikachu (and others) follow you around
With Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver coming out on March 14th, Nintendo has announced that each game will come packed with a Pokewalker accessory. Using the Pokewalker, players will be able to wirelessly transfer a Pokémon over to the Pokewalker and walk them through virtual routes as the player walks around in real life.
When walking, Watts are earned. Watts can be used within the Pokéwalker to encounter and catch wild Pokémon or search for hidden items. The items can then be transferred into Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver versions to unlock new routes. Plus, special versions of a Pokémon species can only be found within routes on the Pokéwalker. If a Pokémon is in your Pokéwalker, it will gain experience points as the player walks. Wireless trading between other Pokewalkers can also be done.
So much for the basement-dwelling stereotype, eh?
Harvest Moon: My Little Shop Sprouts On WiiWare
The Harvest Moon franchise never fails to amaze me. There’s seemingly a new game on a different platform every few months, I’ve met exactly one other person in real life that loves it besides me, and, well, it’s about farming. It’s not exactly the sexiest concept, but Natsume tapped the virtual farming niche well before Farmville became all the rage on the Facebooks.
Today, Harvest Moon wowed me once again with the release of Harvest Moon: My Little Shop on Nintendo WiiWare. This new spin on the Harvest Moon formula is available for 1200 Wii Points, and is rated E for Everyone so the whole family can it in on the ho action. Let’s get some words from Natsume’s big man:
