Overlord - Wii Introduces Three New Titles
Nintendo codemasters revealed they are working on a new and exclusive adventure for the Wii, stemming from the popular game Overlord. The three new titles are: ‘Overlord Dark Legend’, ‘Overlord Minions’ and ‘Overlord Raising Hell’. In these games, you have two choices for your character, evil…or extra evil. Let the debauchery begin!
At wii.qj.net codemasters describe the concept in the following way: the “trainee tyrant” will “be able to take his growing pains out on the local fairy tale inhabitants as he protects his castle and lands.”
Although the new Overlord will be a derivative of the original version of the game, it will be entirely reworked: story, characters, game-play - all are newly developed and redesigned. Of course, the principle remains the same: you’re the tyrant and you let your protégés do the dirty work for you. It’s all for the preservation of your kingdom, after all.
This new game, according to codemaster Dean Scott is a: “…part fairy tale, part classic fantasy, and all hilarious. Obviously, we’ve twisted the fairy tale stuff around, because it wouldn’t be an Overlord game without a load of black humor. So instead of helping Little Red Riding Hood find her grandma, you’d be helping the wolf shop for granny-friendly sauces. That’s not actually in the game, but you get the idea.”
Each game will be unique. Not lost, however, is the dark humor from the original Overlord. As a bonus you get bigger and badder minions at your beck and call. What more can a dark lord ask for?
The authors also hint at a new notion - that there “have been a series of Overlords throughout time.” Does that mean that we should expect more ports from them in the future? That will be revealed in due time. For now, however, we can look forward to leading our new army of minions before the year’s end…muahahahaha <– evil laugh.
