Phoenix Games publishing for Wii: be afraid
The only possible way to make Data Design Interactive's Wii games look good is to put them next to Phoenix Games' offerings. Luckily for DDI, and unluckily for people without healthy senses of humor who may receive one of these, that is exactly what is happening. Phoenix announced plans to publish fourteen Wii games starting in April. The list includes surefire hits like Rat-a-Box, Lion and the King 3, and Monster Dessert (okay, we actually want to know what that last one is).Whereas Data Design just makes bad games, Phoenix makes complete garbage, including barely interactive, sub-CDI-level, copyright-infringing animated movies with voice acting from whoever happened to walk by. Phoenix's games are the very definition of "shovelware."
While these games plagued Europe on the PS2, they have yet to make it to the United States, presumably because it's expensive to ship things.

Great. More ammo for PS3/360 Fanboys to use against the Wii. That's just perfect!

PS3 fanboys have nothing to say on this one. All these games were previously being put on PS2! It all comes with the uber-success guys, don't worry. Just don't look too long when you're passing over it at the store.

Just what the Wii needs more shovelware....because as we all know everyone loves shovelware..........Rat-a-Box is the top of my must buy games list now.....

You'd think more good games would come with the uber-success, too. But no.

The worst thing about a bad phoenix is that every time you kill it, it'll just come back right again.
