After the huge success and numerous million gross revenue from the Guitar Hero series made by Activision, they have decided to publish another Hero series feature, but this one is made more for R&B, rap and different types of dance music. It is Wii DJ hero for the Nintendo Wii, a turntable controller dependent, beat & music game from Activision. If you bought, seen or know the games from the Hero series like Guitar Hero, which made a tremendous success in gross sales, then this new DJ version game will be in the same quality standards that we got used to in the Hero series and will bring participants a feel of being a club DJ star.

That’s not the only DJ wannabe game to be released this year. Konami will be publishing the Beatmania game that is pretty close to the DJ Hero Wii game. But, the Activision game should give a near reality experience with a high quality mixing like music, that will give the dance floor music amateur their high BPM dosage. Other stimulating better features are the exclusive new songs from Eminem & Jay-Z that were made solely for this DJ Hero game

Activision claims that the game is about spinning, remixing and playing like a DJ as if you are making a gang of dance lovers, that enjoy that kind of music that you hear in a club and dance their brains out. The game will include song genres like Rap, R&B and hip-hop, different genres of dance music that usually will be preferred by the club goers and others that are partisans of this rhythm of sound.

Two other glamorous features are the freestyle mode that will bring you the opportunity of spinning and mixing that is just like the professionals. This is the chance to realize the dream of becoming a DJ.

The second exciting feature is 10 songs that are played both with the turntable controller of the DJ Hero game and with the guitar controller from the Guitar Hero game. This will permit the fans of rap, metal and rock metal to play dance style music with electric guitar tracks.

DJ Hero will be available for Nintendo Wii, PS2, playstation and Xbox 360 at the end of October 2009.

The latest rumors that are going around the net are that both the developers and the distribution companies want to have uniformed Hero gameplay experience by incorporating all the controls of old and upcoming Hero games in the future games. This means that you will be able to play with the guitar, turntable, drums and microphone.

It’s that time of the week again. The time where we sit back and wonder how Nintendo can improve on the Wii. Well, that’s easy, they need to Do Work! If you remember last week’s episode, I talked about the downfalls of online play with the Wii. There are many inadequacies of playing the Wii online but, one in particular stands out above the others: Voice chat. Where voice chat on the Wii is concerned, it is very nearly an epic fail.

Now, I know what you’re thinking, how can it be such a failure when it’s virtually nonexistent? It’s lack of existence is a failure on Ninty’s part. I mean, you make the ultimate casual/party console, give it free online play and leave out voice chat. Really? That makes sense to you? The online market is one of the main driving forces behind console sales these days. Xbox Live is a huge success, the Playstation Network is getting better. You know what XBL excels at and the PSN is getting better with? Yup, voice chat. When you are playing online with someone, you want to be able to communicate. You need to be able to talk trash, to let your opponent know how bad you are owning them. Why would you want to do that? Because it’s the purpose of playing online. If not, I could just play against the computer. Which, without voice chat, you basically are doing online with the Wii. You’re playing against a computer with better or worse AI, depending on the skill of your opponent. This is unacceptable. I do not want to play against Hal 9000.

So, how should Nintendo do work and get this problem sorted? First and foremost, develop a headset peripheral. Something other than the Wii Speak microphone is needed. I’ve yet to use the Wii Speak microphone so I can’t speak to it’s quality but, it’s not good enough. You wanna know why I’ve never used it? Because it only works with Animal Crossing: City Folk. I do not see the logic here, create the product but only have it accessible for one game that targets a niche audience. Yes, there is a Wii Speak channel where you can make rooms and chat with Wii Friends, but we went into the difficulty of the “friend” system last week. If Nintendo developed a headset, and made voice chat more accessible, more games would utilize the feature. Worst case could be, they kept the microphone while enabling it with more games. I mean, I got my father in-law Tiger Woods ‘09 for Christmas, it would be so much easier to play online with him if I could talk him through it. As it stands now, that is an impossibility. Nintendo took a giant step creating Wii Speak and its channel, they still need to do work and make the feature widely available. If they could improve online play in every aspect, the Wii would put an even bigger dent in the wallets of its rivals.
