While titles like Wii Play, the comic book-licensed Ghost Rider and PSP platformer Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters are all attracting their fair share of attention, Natsume’s Chulip stands out as a particularly remarkable release. After being released in Japan almost five years ago, Chulip will finally see American shores on Valentine’s Day, after years of delays and rumored cancellations.
There may be a noticeable lack of next-gen offerings in this week’s chart, but next week will see the release of anticipated titles for each of the major platforms — Sonic and the Secret Rings for Nintendo’s Wii, Virtua Fighter 5 for the PlayStation 3, and Crackdown for Xbox 360.
Our KidConfidence “Family Game of the Week” is “Wii Play” for the Nintendo Wii.
