It seems we were hasty when we wrote that the "Play on Wii" version of Pikmin would feature "no new content, the modified control scheme aside." The latest Famitsu, as translated by IGN, reveals that the game's save mechanism has also been updated, and now allows you to restart play from any day you please. So, if 98 of your 100 precious plant warriors get singed by a troublesome Fiery Blowhog, you can avert disaster by turning back time. Nice to see Nintendo adding some worthwhile changes to more and more Wii de Asobu titles!

Pikmin just got a little more perfect originally appeared on Nintendo Wii Fanboy on Wed, 10 Dec 2008 13:40:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

If the previous announcement of a December release date (deja vu?) caused you to put Rygar: The Battle of Argus on your gift wishlist, better find a substitute! Tecmo seems to have gotten into the habit of delaying the remake, and they're not ready to say goodbye just yet. We've received a press release announcing the latest date: February 3, 2009. We've got some more screenshots in our gallery at which you can stare wistfully.

1up editor Sam Kennedy, who found out about this after rushing through the game for review, suggests that Tecmo decided to delay the game to avoid getting lost in the holiday rush, rather than in the interest of any refinements. "... no changes are going to be made to the game in the meantime -- it's just being held for an extra two months."

Rygar's battles finally begin this February originally appeared on Nintendo Wii Fanboy on Tue, 09 Dec 2008 14:48:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

While the title of today's Wii Warm Up focuses on ports, we want to discuss all multiplatform Wii games, whether or not they were tweaked specifically (or well) for their Wii release. Which games have you preferred on the Nintendo console over their other releases? Is it the motion controls, other content, or something else? Which have you preferred on their original or other systems?
