RUMOR: New ‘Colosseum’ style Wii Game

At CES a Nintendo accessory maker representative spilled the beans on a new Wii game that has yet to be announced by Nintendo.  Take what he said with a grain of salt though:

  • Single player storyline ala ‘Gale of Darkness’
  • Colosseum battling like ‘Battle Revolution’
  • Possible Black/White connectivity

Considering the Wii has NOT been home to a single player storyline type of Pokemon game it should be interesting if this turns out to be true.  Thanks Liam for tipping us off!  Original story can be found over at Gaming Update.

  1. Controls better not be over complicated. Hold Wiimote sideways, press d-pad to move, press 2 to preform an action (ex talk), hold 1 to run, and press + to open the menu! ‘Nuff said.

    • It would probably take the vein of most RPGs on the wii– nunchuk analog to move, wiimote A and B for selections, and nunchuck analog/D-Pad/waving Wiimote to select things. Agreed with + to start. Maybe Z would end up being run?

  2. *prays that this is true*

    What I want for this game, for one thing, are cel-shaded graphics. Pokémon would look amazing with them. Heck, they DO look pretty sweet, if you’ve seen screens from Battrio.

    Also: Wild Pokémon encounters. Normal ones, I mean, not just PokéSpots.

    Lastly: CUSTOMIZABLE TRAINERS! PBR got at least that right…sort of.

  3. The Shadow Pokémon games have been my absolute favorites, and I’d love to see a series of BW shadow Pokémon, perhaps with most of the shadow ‘mons being from the Hoenn region– since that’s going to be the least accessible at this point.

    And honestly… I’m fine with no wild Pokémon encounters in the grass. That’s not what these games are meant to be!

  4. Personally, I don’t want to play in Orre again
    or capture Shadow Pokemon. I lost interest midway through XD after realizing it was simply Colosseum with different Pokemon; I felt like I was just playing the same game again. Let’s try doing something very different this time around.

    I can only assume triple battles and rotation battles will be used most frequently in the game. Other than that, I’d like to explore a new region, preferrably one with actual routes instead of biking across an empty desert. I would also like to see field moves like Surf used in the game. But most importantly, I want to walk around in tall grass and battle wild Pokemon. Perhaps there could be some unique Pokemon to capture at certain points in the game. For example, at one point a gang of three wild Pokemon could be blocking your way, and you’d have to battle and/or capture them to continue on your way.

    In fact, that’d be a great concept for the game’s story. In some far-off region, wild Pokemon are becoming more hostile and it’s up to the main character to tame them. These “Rogue Pokemon” could be causing trouble in cities, crawling around in buildings, or blocking the way in routes. They could even interrupt Pokemon battles! It wouldn’t be until much later that the hero discovers that an evil organization has produced a large machine built to control wild Pokemon and drive them insane, and that machine must be destroyed.

    Now THAT is a Pokemon game I would definitely play!

  5. I have been observing this site closely with others and have kept silent until now. This is all that I can confirm:

    >The working title for this game is Pokemon Stadium: Black and White Adventure!

    >The graphics are cel-shaded – for now.

    >The starters are the pokemon in the “monkey trio.”

    >The battles are triple battles.

    Please note that this is still under development and may be changed before release. If the game is not released, which is possible, do not asume that the game won’t be released at a later date.
