In Touch Ruminations, former DS and Wii Fanboy Lead David Hinkle talks about whatever he feels like. He’s a jerk like that. This week, it’s all about Jack and his crazy romp through Varrigan City’s Death Watch in MadWorld.

MadWorld has been the biggest game on my radar for awhile, both professionally and personally. As a big fan of God Hand, I immediately compared MadWorld to that and expected it to carry over a lot of the things that game did so well: memorably goofy characters, ridiculously over-the-top combat, and an inspired, memorable setting.

This week has been an exciting one for Wii owners. First and foremost, A Boy and His Blob is making a comeback! On top of that, Nintendo informed us that old-school controls will be included in Punch-Out!! for Wii. It’s a wonderful mixture of old and new, and shows us that there is an incredible well of older titles that can be tapped for today’s market in this manner. Nintendo has been doing that with the Virtual Console, presenting older, dated games via a new, easy-to-use interface, bringing them to a new audience. It’s a wonderful mixture of classic and new sensibilities, and something I would like to see more of. Of course, A Boy and His Blob and Punch-Out!! could both be horrible, horrible games for all I know, so take that as you will.
