Review: Where’s Wally? Fantastic Journey 1

Lite stripes
The world's most famous stripe-wearing recluse is making his first appearance on WiiWare following a trio of outings on DSiWare. Where's Wally? Fantastic Journey 1 (known as Where's Waldo? in North America) is all-but identical to the DSiWare release Where's Wally? Travel Pack 1, with the same stages and objectives, but it works much better on the big screen. It’s basically cut down from the larger retail release Where’s Waldo? The Fantastic Journey, available in North America.

Pledges to bring smiles back
Japanese developer PlatinumGames has been responsible for some pretty innovative games over the past five years: Wii gorefest MadWorld and DS space RPG Infinite Space for Nintendo's formats, as well as the superlative Bayonetta and Vanquish for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Five years in and not a sequel in sight, PlatinumGames is something of an anomaly in the current franchise-led marketplace, and that hurts.

CommanderVideo to return?
It's pretty certain that Gaijin Games is developing for 3DS, but the team isn't yet ready to share any concrete details. However, this mysterious teaser image just arrived in our inbox here at Nintendo Life, pointing to a possible 3D excursion for CommanderVideo.
Review: Amazon Knocks Heavy Fire: Afghanistan Back to September
19:00 at kinectaku.com
So long, April
When GameFly leaked Heavy Fire: Afghanistan in February, it originally listed an April release date for Kinect's first FPS. Now it seems we'll be taking to the battlefield a lot later in the year, if an Amazon listing is accurate.
Review: Captain America and Thor Trailers Power-Up Wii Together
18:45 at nintendolife.com
Cards on the table here: Sega's comic book movie tie-ins have not been fantastic. Iron Man, Iron Man 2, The Incredible Hulk; none of these games have set the world of Wii alight. But hey, we have new trailers for Thor: God of Thunder and Captain America: Super Soldier to make things better.
Review: Meet Child of Eden’s Creator at UK Event Next Week

Get stuff signed, too
Child of Eden is finally coming to Kinect in June, but if you live in the UK and just can't wait to see Ubisoft's synaesthetic shooter you might want to consider making a beeline for KAPOW! Comic Con next week.Items of Interest
