This afternoon I managed to hang out with Daryl Allison, who happens to be a senior producer at Capcom. I was contacted by Capcom to meet at a secret location [some hotel] to play some of their upcoming titles that will also be seen at E3, some of which that will probably not be released on the Wii.

However, Daryl showed me the way of the Spyborgs, and made me believe that three dimensional beat ‘em ups still have some fight left in them.

It’s simple mathematics. When you double the bikinis, you double the fun.

D3Publisher has posted revealing first details of Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers, the upcoming and self-explanatory Wii action game.

The game will “take full advantage of the Wii Remote” for immersive attacks on zombie enemies, offer both single player and two-player cooperative play, as well as several modes and combat mechanics.

And, of course, half-naked chicks.

No specific release date has been announced, but if busty zombie exterminators clad in skimpy bikinis and wielding katana blades are your thing, you should be in blood-spilling heaven in early 2009.

Infendo reader and Infendo Radio listener Phillip F. wants to know where the heck the 2-player co-op went off to. I, for one, am inclined to ask the same question, especially after some extended play time with Contra 4 this winter.

what the hell happened to classic, simultaneous co-op adventure and platforming games? it’s not that i don’t have a problem with playing by myself, but it just seems like whenever i have a friend or a relative that i actually get along with comes over, i’m left dry of good 2 player games for us to play. usually i have to whip out Smash bros or some other racing/fighting/shooting game whenever they do.

secondly, if a game is multiplayer…it’s never co-op! it just seems that if an action adventure/platformer is released, they don’t include any multiplayer, or they chuck a large mass of minigames (usually around 40 or 50 for some reason) at us, or they include some crappy versus mode; neither of which show how good (or what) a game actually is.

while i’ll admit that there are some FPS that have been released that are co-op (such as halo 3), it just angers me that none of these developers even try to develop a good, co-op mode for wii games. i’m hoping that atleast someone can relate to me on this one, cause it just doesn’t seem like i’ve played a fantastic co-op game in quite some time.

Indeed. Co-op games would be a nice complement to the already social-as-heck nature of some Wii games. You’ve done it with the DS, Nintendo, now how about the Wii?

Alternate viewpoint: Are there Wii co-op games here or upcoming worth checking out? And, how about we all name our favorite Nintendo system co-op game from times past? Legendary Wings worked for me. (more…)
