Nintendo ending Disaster’s delay of crisis, releases 78 screenshots

You’ve saved the princess. Now be ready to save the people.
Nintendo of Europe earlier today released 78 all-new screenshots of the long-delayed Wii action game Disaster: Day of Crisis. Select shots are posted after the jump, and GoNintendo has uploaded the entire set onto Flickr.
Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime first revealed Disaster: Day of Crisis onstage during the company’s E3 2006 press conference. The game has been delayed numerous times since, prompting speculation that the project had been canned.
Yet recent developments suggest otherwise. As reported Wednesday on Infendo, Nintendo has confirmed the project is still alive and in development. With a rumored Oct. 24 European release date and this new batch of screens, the recipe for Disaster seems just right.
Expect official word from Nintendo soon. Until then, here are some catastrophic new screens to tide you over.

Jesus Christ, it only took an insanely disappointing E3, but here it is!

I’m really wondering what the actual play mechanics are. It looks like it’s awfully varied, could be a good or bad thing.

Why, oh why, did they not have this at E3? Who is running things at NOA?

This is the Nintendo I love: doing something DIFFERENT.

Ok and maybe it was a “dissapointing” E3, but after such event, Nintendo has had the most build up of Hype with more info on Madworld, The Conduit, this, Lightsaver game announcement, new skate it stuff, bomberman and alien crush wiiware, House of Death: Overkill
NO GAMES FOR WII? WTF ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT?
And suckish E3, but still id rather find out about this stuff on my daily check on Infendo with it being unexpecter rather than having to be the entire week glued to the screen refhreshing every 5 seconds lmao

Wow, this goes on the short list of vaporware games that actually materialized. Next thing you know, Sadness will be given a release date and Duke Nukem Forever will actually be finished.

Looking good! Less than 2 months away for us Europeans!! Woop!
One thing though people. Is nobody else confused as to why it says “Press any key”? surely it should say Press any button… Is this game coming out on PC as well or is it compatible with a USB keyboard?

that art style in fantastic.
September 1st, 2008 at 6:57 pm
this is the game ive wanted from the Wii for so long. goddamn i love everything I’m seeing.
September 1st, 2008 at 7:03 pm
Oct. 24????
Please.
So, you actually think, in about 7 weeks, this game that was presumed cancelled will be on the market with out any previous information and hype?
I don’t think so.
September 1st, 2008 at 7:26 pm
Hell. Yes.
September 1st, 2008 at 7:27 pm
The graphics are much improved, by the way.
September 1st, 2008 at 8:46 pm
Between this news released today and SMRPG out on the VC, I think this is the TRUE way Nintendo is saying “I’m sorry” for E3. We all doubted they loved us hardcore folk, good thing they are out to make us all “smile,” eh?
September 1st, 2008 at 9:43 pm
AT LAST, a real game!
September 1st, 2008 at 10:30 pm
@wii-wii,
Captain Rainbow was announced on July 9th, and released August 26th in Japan.
Exactly 7 weeks, and this was a brand new game announced.
This is the way Nintendo is doing things now. They show the game off when it is pretty much ready for release.
September 1st, 2008 at 10:57 pm
Well, either way, I hope it comes to North America fast !
Need more info!

Hey, there is a teddy bear!

I’m really glad to see this. I hope they release it this year, but I’m not counting on it.
Anyway, the game is looking great! It looks really intense and isn’t terrible on the graphics end, either. Nice stuff!

I told you guys repeatedly that the Australian classification decision was good evidence the game was in the advanced stages of development, but did you listen? No.
Australia 1, Infendo 0

i have to agree with droop4 it has a really good metal gear vibe speaking of which will they ever bring metal gear solid on the wii or ds i think it would be way better on ds as it would be alot easier to control unless your a real hardcore gamer and you are amazing at using the wii remote and nunchuk ( i hope i spelt nunchuk riht?)

This game looks sweeter than the last time I saw it. Must buy, MUST WANT!
September 2nd, 2008 at 8:56 am
Eh, forgot to mention the game is a complete mystery, but it’s just dangling there, my sweet sweet mystery.
September 2nd, 2008 at 9:40 am
Just got confirmed for European release on October 24th.
