“TNA iMPACT” (By Namco) is a clear throw back to the Nintendo 64 wrestlers of the late 90’s, like “WCW vs. NWO” and “WWF No Mercy”. Many regard those titles as being some of the best wrestling games ever made. Does “TNA iMPACT” live up to its obvious influences? Not really… but it is a step in the right direction.
Qualcomm has really fired up their whole push with Android gaming as of late. Their newest announcement comes during Uplinq 2011 which started today and is a ‘Game Pack’ which will feature a slew of titles from a few top game developers that are optimized for their Snapdragon chipset.
Last week we reported on a new game coming from Namco called TNA Wrestling iMPACT! This is a 3D wrestling game featuring 24 stars from the TNA Wrestling show on TV and like any good wrestling game, it comes complete with items like chairs you can use to pummel your opponents with.
Having been used to the birds being the good guys thanks to Angry Birds, Bird Zapper has them being the bad guys. They have hijacked all the power lines and apparently as a squirrel, this is very irritating to you. This is a match-3 style game with dynamic gameplay with swipe-style controls instead of the usual tapping ones.
Recently release iOS game by Namco, Puzzle Quest 2, will be coming to Android as well in early 2011. Ironically, the original Puzzle Quest never came to the Android Market. If you don’t know what Puzzle Quest is, take an RPG game and have it go out for a one night stand with a Bejeweled match-3 type of game, result being Puzzle Quest.
A while back we posted an article about Namco’s commitment to developing and releasing games for Android devices and since then we haven’t really seen much of anything from the Namco camp when it comes to releases. However, it seems that has changed with their newest game dropping onto the Android market called The Wolfman.
Namco recently mentioned that they like the Android platform and are confident in the future commercial success of it. To reinforce this they are willing to throw brands names and resources at Android and could possibly be the first major developer to fully embrace Android as a gaming platform.
