Capcom Shares Reach 5 Year High on Games for Wii

Sept. 11 (Bloomberg) -- Capcom Co., the Japanese publisher of the ``Resident Evil'' video-game series, rose to a five-year high on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on expectations sales of titles for Nintendo Co.'s Wii consoles will boost earnings.

Capcom's stock climbed 6.3 percent to 2,855 yen, its highest close since Sept. 26, 2002, compared with a 0.5 percent gain in the benchmark Topix index. The Osaka-based company's shares have risen a total of 14 percent in the past two days.

The company, whose ``Resident Evil'' action game was among the top 10 titles sold in Japan and the U.S. in June, expects annual sales to rise 11 percent as it doubles the number of Wii titles to six. Chief Financial Officer Kazuhiko Abe gave presentations to investors in New York and Boston last week, focusing on new Wii offerings, spokesman Ryosuke Tanaka said.

``Resident Evil's Wii edition has continued to sell well,'' said Jay Defibaugh, an analyst at Credit Suisse Group in Tokyo who rates Capcom shares ``outperform.'' Sales of the game, also known as ``Biohazard'' in Japan, will probably exceed Capcom's shipment target of 620,000 units by March 31, he said.

Capcom's stock has risen 33 percent this year, compared with a 8.8 percent decline in the Topix index.

Ghost Squad Hands On

Light gun shooters haven't always been popular at home, and not just because pointing the gun off-screen to reload sometimes incurs collateral damage ("why is my plant pot in the fire"). Instead it's the old dichotomy of arcade and home - what's brilliantly brief in amongst the slots is bewilderingly insubstantial when your receipt says 39.99.

Making your arcade game work in the home is difficult to do, as SEGA will grimly attest - but SEGA's also one of the best examples of a publisher figuring it out, having delivered OutRun 2006 to universal acclaim. That game offered isolated, untouched arcade versions alongside modified and expanded adaptations that built on what we liked about the coin-op originals without betraying their memory.

Doing the same for a light gun game might seem harder, but Ghost Squad's set-up suggests it could succeed - and the game's Wiimote controls are a surprisingly splendid substitute for the massive assault rifle weaponry hooked up to the game down the pier.

In it, you take control of a member of the Global Humanitarian-Operation and Special Tactics Squad (a backronym that's only outdone by our own sadly non-fictional Serious Organised Crime Agency), and it's up to you and up to three comrades to take down some of those pesky terrorists you hear about on the news. These ones are a bit more successful than ours though, and have managed to do things like smuggle about 48 of themselves onto Air Force One.

DK Jungle Climber

DK Jungle Climber is the sequel to Paon’s first Donkey Kong game, DK King of Swing for Game Boy Advance. Like its predecessor, the game’s mechanics are reminiscent of Clu Clu Land, and control primarily involves use of the shoulder buttons. Unlike its predecessor, the game features Donkey Kong Country-style graphics rather than a cartoon style. In general, Jungle Climber improves upon the unique control of the first game.

The plot of the game is a little odder than most. DK and crew are vacationing on Sun Sun Island. A massive banana is sighted at the top of the island, and a hungry DK goes to retrieve it. It turns out that the giant banana is actually a banana-shaped spaceship piloted by a banana-shaped alien named Xananab. The Kongs learn that King K. Rool is up to no good again and agree to help Xananab defeat the reptilian leader.

Jungle Climber’s key feature is its unique control mechanism. While on the ground, DK can walk much like in a normal platformer, except using L and R to move left and right, but once he leaves the firmament, control is turned on its head. The jungle environments are covered in pegs and peg boards. As DK passes over a peg, pressing L or R will cause him to latch on and begin rotating either left or right. Releasing the button will let DK swing from peg to peg. Grabbing pegs with both hands will let DK charge up for a powerful boost. Once you get the rhythm down, you can make DK swing across the stage from peg to peg quite fast. While its predecessor was played almost entirely with the shoulder buttons, Jungle Climber also introduces the A button into regular play. This button allows DK to perform an attack lunge.

Wii Turun Harga?

Xbox360 dan PS3 Turun Harga
Xbox360 sudah berumur hampir 2 tahun, sedangkan PS3 dan Wii sudah hampir 1 tahun sejak dirilis. Xbox360 sudah pernah menurunkan harganya pada saat saat yang berdekatan dengan peluncuran PS3 dan Wii November 2006 yang silam, taktik ini cukup berhasil diterapkan Microsoft sebagai pelipur lara banyak gamer yang tidak bisa mendapatkan PS3 dan Wii akibat keterbatasan persediaan dan hasilnya Xbox360 merajai musim liburan 2006.

Setelah E3 2007, manajemen SONY juga mengumumkan penurunan harga jual PS3 nya, perlahan namun pasti jumlah gamer yang tertarik memiliki PS3 semakin bertambah, apalagi tahun 2008 sudah semakin dekat dimana game game bagus PS3 akan dirilis.

Bagaimana dengan Wii?
Saat ini Wii masih mendominasi persaingan penjualan konsol, dimana penjualan Wii sudah seperti kacang goreng yang laris manis dan persediaan Wii masih sulit untuk ditemukan di banyak tempat, dengan keadaan diatas angin seperti ini mungkinkah Nintendo akan menurunkan harga jual Wii?

Penjualan Wii yang sudah sangat tinggi saat ini juga semakin didukung dengan semakin banyaknya judul judul baru yang menarik dari third party untuk akhir tahun ini, dan juga killer title dari Nintendo sendiri yaitu Super Mario Galaxy dan Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Presiden Direktur Nintendo, Satoru Iwata juga pernah menyatakan bahwa Nintendo memiliki strategi penjualan yang berbeda dengan kompetitornya, beliau percaya bahwa strategi penjualan yang baik adalah dengan mempertahankan harga retail konsolnya dalam jangka waktu yang cukup lama, tidak setiap tahun sekali harga akan diturunkan.
Mengapa demikian? karena beliau percaya apabila sebentar sebentar harga jual konsol turun, maka akan semakin banyak orang yang akan menunggu juga, akan ada orang yang berkata "Ah coba gue tunggu lagi dulu, harganya sekarang dah turun".

Kalau menurut saya sendiri, harga jual Wii tidak akan turun dalam waktu dekat ini pastinya tidak akhir tahun ini, sedangkan untuk tahun depan juga kemungkinannya juga sangat kecil.

My 2007 Wish List Update!!

Ok sekarang wih list gue semakin bertambah terutama untuk Wii, sedangkan DS dikurangi

Wii:
09/18 - Mercury Meltdown Revolution, menunggu preview/review lagi
10/29 - Battalion Wars 2, sudah pre-order
10/29 - Endless Ocean, menunggu preview/review lagi
11/06 - Medal of Honor Heroes 2, menunggu preview/review lagi
11/12 - Super Mario Galaxy, MUST HAVE!
11/13 - Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3, menunggu preview/review lagi
11/13 - Rayman Raving Rabbids 2, sudah pre-order
11/13 - Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, menunggu preview/review lagi

11/20 - Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, menunggu preview/review lagi
11/20 - Trauma Center: New Blood, sudah pre-order
12/03 - Super Smash Bros. Brawl, MUST HAVE!

DS:
10/01 - The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, MUST HAVE!

ok kalau diperhatikan dari daftar wish list tersebut... bulan November memang merupakan bulan berdarah darah untuk dompet, uang yang sudah harus gue sisihkan untuk game game yang gue tulis bold saja sudah US$305

Game game besar seperti Super Mario Galaxy dan Super Smash Bros. Brawl yang termasuk dalam julukan the big three bersama dengan Metroid Prime 3: Corruption yang baru saja dirilis Agustus akhir lalu, gue sudah tidak perlu meragukan lagi dan sudah pasti harus gue miliki.

Demikian juga dengan Battalion Wars 2, Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 dan Trauma Center: New Blood, semuanya adalah sequel dari game sebelumnya dimana gue puas sekali dan sudah menunggu sejak lama kelanjutannya, maka gue yakin banget dan sudah mulai pre-order.

Apabila review Mercury Meltdown Revolution cukup bagus mungkin gue akan ambil game ini, mumpung harganya cukup murah, yaitu $19.99 lumayan buat ngisi waktu waktu kosong main game puzzle yang rumit ini.

Sedangkan untuk Endless Ocean, Medal of Honor Heroes 2, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3, Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles dan Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games gue bener bener harus sabar menunggu lebih banyak lagi informasi (preview, review, video, screenshot) mengenai game game tersebut, dan gue juga ngak mungkin ambil semuanya sekaligus sama sama di bulan November, kapan mainnya coba? mungkin baru akan diambil tahun depan.

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass pasti gue beli tapi yang jadi pertimbangan gue kapan? apakah pada saat rilis atau tunggu hingga tahun depan, soalnya saat ini gue lebih banyak fokus main yang berat berat di Wii, lagipula gue belum tamatin The Legend of Zelda: The Windwaker dimana Phantom Hourglass merupakan cerita lanjutannya, nanti deh yang ini baru gue pikirin lagi.
