E3 06: Disaster: Day of Crisis First Look

By Ryan Davis, GameSpotPosted May 9, 2006 10:38 am PT

Nintendo unveils three new Wii games, including the chaotic Disaster: Day of Crisis.

LOS ANGELES--While the appearance of Nintendo mascots like Mario, Samus, and Link on the Wii during the company's pre-Electronic Entertainment Expo press conference definitely got the blood pumping for any good Nintendo fan, Nintendo VP Reggie Fils-Aime also had three all-new franchises to show off, including Disaster: Day of Crisis. He set up the quick, noninteractive demo by asking "What do you do when the enemy is Mother Nature?" and it was quickly apparent from the fast-cut video that at least one of the things you'd do is run like hell from erupting volcanoes, city-destroying tidal waves, and the urban chaos that they cause.

The general sense of destruction in the video eventually gave way to focus on a young, black-haired man racing through city streets in a lean-looking sports car, flanked by a group of motorcycles. The whole of the video shown gave a sense that the game was set in a modern, urban environment, but it didn't seem to contain much in the way of gameplay. Fils-Aime stated earlier during the press conference that there will be 27 playable Wii games on the show floor at E3 2006, and we're hoping that Disaster: Day of Crisis is one of them.

    Hey hey. For us, lucky europeans (for once^^), the game is already out. And unfortunately, I was very disappointed... The game is actually everything you see in the trailer... but that's it. It's quickly repetitive and the story is not really interesting. I had fun for 2 hours and that's it. The reason why it hasn't been launched in the US is simply because Nintendo America are waiting for the European sales as they didn't find the game particularly good to launch it immediately. But at least the Wii is the right direction for its exclusives^^

    I want it BAD! It looks extremely cool, though there are only two pictures available, and no videogame footage. But the drawing looks great, and I really want more shooters for the Wii!

    According to Beth Llewelyn of NoA, it is still in development but looking very good. I would give it at least until Q3 until it is ready, expect later with the current trend of game production. :leers at spore:

    if no one noticed they did a game with the exact same premise as this on the PS2, X the rogue agency
    can't remember what the game was called though...you walked around and collected items and saved people i think its had a similar title.
    either way this one brings much joy
