Upcoming under-the-radar 360 and Wii games for '07!

There are quite a few games in retail store computer systems that there either have little to no information, or haven't even been announced at all! Here a couple highlights for both Wii and Xbox 360, with tentative release months:

360
  • Battlestar Galactica Online - October
  • Blacksite: Area 51 - September
  • Overlord - July
  • Project Sylpheed (!!!) - June
Wii
  • Driver '76 - March EDIT: It appears that Driver Parallel Lines is coming out in March - John
  • Elevator Action - June
  • Emergency Mayhem - April
  • Escape from Bug Island (Formerly Necro-Nesia) - October
So among those, Battlestar Galactica, Blacksite, Overlord, Sylpheed, and Bug Island have all been announced. Elevator Action was a Gameboy game and later had a sequel on the Saturn, and Emergency Mayhem is completely unknown. So while some of these dates seem kind of sudden (Driver, Emergency Mayhem), Bug Island's date could make a lot of sense- a spooooooky Halloween release!

"No More Heroes
Publisher: Spike | Developer: Grasshopper | Release Date: TBA

What is it? Another whacked-out game from whacked-out designer Suda 51, of Killer7 fame. No More Heroes stars Travis Touchdown, an American geek who buys a beam katana (read: light saber) off eBay and decides to become a hit man. We couldn't make this up, people.

Why should I care? Taking the oddball style (graphic and otherwise) of Killer 7 and applying it to something that more closely approximates a game is a pretty decent idea.

What's the prognosis? With the remote controlling the beam katana, this should be an awesomely over-the-top slashfest. As long as there's actually gameplay in there. Somewhere."

HDMI Xbox 360 by Summer 07?

A very very high-up and reliable source of mine from an internal Xbox company (it starts with a 'B') has informed Septapus that the rumored black HDMI-enabled Xbox 360 with 120gb HDD will be available on store shelves sometime before Summer 2007. Of course this is not 100% confirmed, but you heard it here first.
