Ken the Survivor to have Wi-Fi and Mii capabilities
A few days ago, we told you about an upcoming game somehow related to Pachinko. This game called Ken the Survivor is based on a manga series. It’s whole name in Japanese reads as Jissen Pachi-Slot Pachinko Hisshôhô! Sammy’s Collection Hokuto no Ken Wii.
The word is out now that Jissen supports the Mii and Wi-Fi capabilities of the Wii, and is being produced by a third party. Interesting, because there has been a lot of talk about how Nintendo has not provided any third-parties with the necessary tools to use Miis, or even online capabilities in their games.
Although it’s not sure if Jissen will ever make it to the US, being a Pachinko game, fans are excited because Jissen might be the the start for Nintendo to move into more online territory and Mii usage.
If you still don’t have any idea of what Pachinko is, it’s a highly addictive arcade game where the player shoots steel balls from the top of the screen, hoping to hit all of the lighted slots in order to win more rewards. It’s the only form of gambling legalized in Japan.
