Retail Roundup: July 29, 2009

This week: princess rescuing redefined.

A

rchery? Fencing? This is my kind of sports game! Wii Sports Resort releases this week, filling both the roles of party game and test bed. As the product that's most likely to sell consumers on the recently introduced Wii Motion Plus accessory, one can assume that a lot of love went into Wii Sports Resort.

Another Xbox Live Arcade release, another collectible game's worth slashed — while a handful of collectors are undoubtedly bemoaning this port of Marvel vs. Capcom 2, the rest of us are thrilled to finally be playing one of the best 2-D fighters ever conceived. Let the roster speak for itself: this game rocks.

Saving the princess might seem like old hat, but developer Titan Studios has found a way to make it fresh again. In Fat Princess, your objectives are twofold: save your own princess, and fatten up your opponent's princess to make rescuing her harder. Bizarre? Perhaps, but also pretty darn fresh. This PlayStation Network title may be worth checking out.
