Atomic turns to Wii FPS port, not giving up on Fallujah

October 22nd, 2009 at 12:57pm Under Wii / Nintendo

You’d be forgiven for taking Atomic Games’ announcement of a Wii FPS as the final nail in the coffin for semi-documentary game Six Days in Fallujah. Atomic says that, even though it’s releasing a ported and renamed version of 2005’s Close Combat: First to Fight for Wii (through publisher Destineer), it’s not giving up on its original project, which was axed by Konami in April.

The news that Marines: Modern Urban Combat — huh, what do you mean that subtitle sounds familiar? — will arrive November 10 comes after rumors that layoffs had all but shuttered the studio. Though Atomic’s on to other projects, Gamasutra reports that the developer’s president, Peter Tamte, still insists it “remains committed” to Fallujah.

We’re happy to see that Atomic’s still plugging along, but if you’re expecting to see Six Days in Fallujah anytime soon … well, just don’t.

Japanese create new Fullmetal Alchemist game for PSP

July 10th, 2009 at 03:30pm Under PSP

The popular anime series is getting a brand new action game on the PSP. Fullmetal Alchemist: Senaka wo Takuseshi Mono is what Siliconera is calling a “bonds battle game,” where players use two-man teams in battle against other teams. For example, Edward and Alphonse may fight against Hawkeye and Mustang. Teammates will need to work together to unleash co-op attacks by building their bond.

The Fullmetal Alchemist games have originally been released by Square Enix in the States, but the franchise has since moved to a smaller publisher, Destineer. We’re not sure if this game will see Stateside release — let’s not forget all those Bleach games that have never seen a US release.
