Some new details from the upcoming Disaster: Day of Crisis have filtered in.
The game, once rumoured to be cancelled, seems to still be in development and some new story details have surfaced.
Players take the role of a chap known as Ray, who lost his friend amd co-worker Steve a year prior to current events. Ray attempts to rescue Steve's sister Lisa from Kidnappers but have to get through a series of natural disasters such as volcanoes, tsunamis, and hurricanes. As well as searching for Lisa, he tries to stop a terrorist plot involving a nuclear bomb.
The nunchuck's analogue stick moves Ray about, whilst the remote with B-trigger acts as a pointer to use equipped items.
Disaster: Day of Crisis is due for release in July in Japan, and listed as 2008 in other regions.

hexpunKThis game is another one that caught my eye in ONM, it looked very promising but then nothing more was shown, the wii really needs more games for the mature gamer to be honest, so this is a step up from the generic mini-game collections (even the dressed up ones that look like a normal game) in my eyes.

I'd like to say I'm excited about this game, but I still haven't seen enough to know. I hope it's good.

Well... as realistic as a James Bond movie. And I like to watch them...
I look forward to this title, as it's another mature approach to Wii, which we lack. (was that even proper English?)
I find your lack of faith disturbing!

As unlikely as the storyline is it does sound like fun, and at least all these things are happenening one at a time...imagine trying to stop a nuke while inside a volcano, which contains a hurricane, during an earthquake.
I do like the graphical style of this game though, all the screenies I've seen make it look handrawn.

I know, all we really want is a game where you have to drive to work keeping to the speed limit and road rules, work 8 hours a day, drive back, then watch some tv. How good would that be!

Sounds like it won't be a mini-game structured story afterall, great news. Could be a very good Action Adventure game.

Have they been having development problems or something? I can't understand why Nintendo is keeping this release so quiet...

Probably, and also the fact that it's apparently an experiment that if turns out well, could spawn another, bigger game.

1013 66 07.12.2004 noneSounds like the plot of 24 Day8 to me.
Only it would be a terrorist volcano in their case.

Incidently, the fact that the Wii has Zack and Wiki alone makes it the most hardcore machine.
Keep your casual pretty graphics, and give my nasty-as-fuck brain busting puzzles any day :p

1013 66 07.12.2004 noneYeah, the controlls indeed point away from being completely minigame based.
So it might be either;
a) Explore area, basic item puzzle's, action sequences. (eg, like a point and click, but with freeroaming rather then static backdrops).
b) A liner set of progression in a platforming fashion mixed with minigames inbetween. (like prince of persia, only with sequences such as those from Re4).
c) Freeroaming zelda-esq adventure set in the modern era with the world falling to bits.
I'm betting b.
C is too much to hope for, and it hasnt has the budget or attention for such scope.
I actualy hope for a bit of item-puzzles (a), and some latteral thinking needed.
