Diner Dash dashing to WiiWare March 29

Mar 05, 2010 Posted Under: backbone, diner-dash, hudson, playfirst, wiiware

Attention would-be restaurateurs: Hudson has announced that Diner Dash will arrive on WiiWare March 29. This will mark the first time that the game has been available on WiiWare outside of Japan, where it was released last month. For those unfamiliar with the title, Diner Dash tasks players with running a restaurant. This entails seating customers, taking orders, placing orders, serving food and cleaning tables. You have to manage all of these tasks in real time, so it gets pretty hectic pretty fast. The WiiWare version features new controls and a new multiplayer mode as well.

The press release doesn’t mention a pricing, though we’d imagine it will share the Japanese price of $10.

Unseen64: Backbone made Mirror’s Edge demo for Wii, PSP, DS

Jul 22, 2009 Posted Under: backbone, dice, ea, mirrors-edge

We love our Mirror’s Edge as much as the next group of guys, but we don’t really know what to make of this one. Unseen64 reports that Backbone Entertainment was asked by EA to make a demo for the game on Wii, DS and PSP, though the status of it is currently unknown.

Judging by the couple of pieces of concept art Unseen64 is sporting, the project looks suspiciously third-person, which is puzzling at best. But who knows? Maybe we’re just old men set in our crotchety ways. Maybe it could have been awesome. But with less-than-stellar sales numbers for the flagship, we’re doubtful EA will be willing to spend the cash to let Faith leap onto other boxes.
