Rabbids Go Home is getting a Rabbid Touture game. That's set inside the Wii Remote. Meaning that when you shake the Controller or press the buttons you can fling the Rabbid around. You can also you devices unlocked throughout the game such as a head vice on the Rabbid to change the shape of it's head. Footage here. |

 That's a shocker. Here's some more details, courtesy of a different GoNintendo post: |

This ought to make parrothead happy - Majesco is bringing a new retro comp to the Wii packed with Data East classics. Confirmed titles include Burger Time, Bad Dudes vs. Dragon Ninja, Magical Drop III, Caveman Ninja (?), Secret Agent and Street Slam. Here's a list of several of Data East's arcade titles - let's hope a large chunk of them make it onto the disc as well. I know it's possible, since Taito's packed 39 games on a PS2 disc. I can has Karnov and Cobra Command? |

I'm such a sucker for classic arcade compilations! I hope they don't skimp!
The TG16 version of Bloody Wolf is already on the VC, but it doesn't include two-player play.
I would like to see Heavy Barrel (a total Ikari Warriors rip-off) and the Fighter's History series (a total Street Fighter II rip-off).

Interesting . . . Remember how Square Enix released FFCC: Echoes of Time on both DS and Wii? Well, SE has a system that can use the DS source code and automatically generate the Wii version and that how EoT ended up on Wii. Why am I mentioning this here and not in the FFCC thread? Square could supposedly do this for any of their DS games. Source. |

Some more observations on Data East Arcade Classics (since I know Nester and Parrothead will be probably be interested): Paon (who ought to be a recognizable name to NinDB'ers by now) own some of the Data East catalog, including Karnov, Chelnov (Atomic Runner), and the Hercules no Eiko series (which Nintendo recently published a new chapter of for the DS), as well as a few more that I'm trying to trace down. Actually, they are conprised of former DE staff, according to G-Mode's DE History page (which is what my Karnov link goes to). G-Mode meanwhile owns many of the over 100 different Data East properties, which can be viewed here. Metal Max belongs to its developers, Createch (who have contined the series as Metal Saga), and Tantei Jingûji Saburô (aka the Jake Hunter series) belongs to Workjam. The rights to Night Stalkers and The Cliffhanger: Edward Randy are, as of my current research, unknown. What does all this mean? Well, it determines how many loops Majesco has to hop through to put together a "complete" collection. Will they merely work off of G-Mode's licenses, or will they talk to Paon, Workjam and Createch, too? All of the confirmed games suggest that G-Mode is the only party involved, but we'll just have to see. |

I'm glad to hear that Paon is full of Data East's staff. That long list was copied from Wikipedia. There is one last game I added to it, and it's Avengers in Galactic Storm.
For the other list of DECO games on G-Mode's English website, it is incomplete. They also referred to the Bad Dudes' the wrong way. The one in white is Blade (not Striker) and the one in green is Striker (not Blade). G-Mode also owns the rights to the interactive movie games, Road Avenger (known in Japan as Road Blaster) and Cobra Command (known in Japan as Thunder Storm), which were created by the creator of the Kunio-kun and Double Dragon series. They also might be the owners of The Cliffhanger: Edward Randy and Night Slashers. For Ring King, it either belongs to Namco Bandai, as part of their Family sports series, titled in Japan as Family Boxing, or the European company, Woodplace Inc., who was the original developer that released it in Europe in the arcades as King of Boxer. Woodplace Inc. is either defunct or as quiet as Tim Martin, the creator of Spelunker. Strangely, I saw a G-Mode logo on an official website for a Hercules no Eikou game (Can't link to it, I'm using the Internet Channel).
One question really bothers me: will the collection include the Japanese versions of several games along with localized versions? I'd like to see the Japanese version of Bad Dudes Vs. DragonNinja (known simply as DragonNinja), because it has a better ending than the English version.
