Want to know what’s up with that cool-lookin’ game that’s coming out soon? Psychic Thumbs has you covered. (Note: The following are all real games that are really being developed.)
Welcome to another exciting edition of the PSYCHIC thumbs that are, in fact, quite SUPER! This month I have a HEAP of Wii games lined up because well, I just LOVE the WII that much! I am going to warn you right now that this article will bring you through the full spectrum of emotions. You will laugh, you will cry, you will be enraged, you will feel the need to hug strangers. The WHOLE shebang! Don’t worry though; you will love every minute of it. Just like you always do.
Nobi Nobi Boy (PS3)
This is THE game that will finally do for stretching what Katamari did for rolling. At least, that’s what I read somewhere! In reality, and by reality I mean the reality of me physically playing this game in the future: This game is truly the number-one button masher OF ALL TIME! It is a true race to see how wide you can stretch everything and anything your way. TAP THAT BUTTON! Over and over and over—right into the history books!
This game has it all stretching…stretching… more stretching…EVERYTHING! No doubt about it: If you LOVE “unique” games based on strange, quirky gimmicks, than this is the game for you!

M&M’s Kart Racing (Wii)
The one true constant in the universe that everyone can agree on is that, to have a successful kart racing game, you need a cast of colorful characters. What’s more colorful than M&Ms? NOTHING! So, naturally, a kart racing game featuring these lovable scamps will launch off to immediate success.
Cheesy graphics and lackluster gameplay are no match for the sheer awesomeitude of the M&M characters! So, you want a GOOD fun kart racing game? Well, try somewhere else. If you’re looking for colorful characters, this game has all of them, and then some! ENJOY!

Professor Layton and the Curious Village (DS)
Brainteasers are fun, and they pass the time good enough, but, sometimes, you just never know when to stop. Other times you just can’t get into them and never start. What Professor Layton brings to the table is a way to know when to STOP and START your brainteasering needs! Now how does this wonderful wonderful man help us out with such tasks? It is pretty simple: He gives us a wonderful storyline to follow as we tease these brains of ours! HUZZAH.
With this new time-management technique it feels, if only a little bit, less like a waste of a time when you finally decide to put down your mostly useless brainteasers! Wooo.

No More Heroes (Wii)
Are you sick of heroes in your videogames? Aren’t we all? Jeez. They’re so pesky with their rules and their morals and their all-around buzzkilling ways! Thankfully, a game is finnnally coming to the realization that heroes are sooo 1920 and the NEW generation of gamers want NO heroes.
Why does everyone love GTA? Because you steal things. Break the law. You know: FUN stuff.. .not HERO stuff! No More Heroes steps beyond such petty crimes like thievery, though. They step it up to the truly good crimes: violent crimes. EVERYBODY agrees that violence is always the best way to go about anything. If you’re tired of playing heroes and just want to beat things bloody, THIS is the game you SEEK.

Ninja Reflex (Wii)
Now, the problem with party games is that, after a while, they get kind ofboring. I mean, how many times can you play the same minigames over and over with only slight changes? The answer is: not many, if you were still wondering. However, if you throw in the SPICEYNESS of NINJAS, you instantly gain hours and hours of more amusement!
Not only are you adding ninjas, which are just fun to look at, but you also get NINJA minigames! Let me tell you a little something about ninja minigames. They NEVER get boring. In fact, you will run out of friends before you get bored of THESE minigames! How many bottles of water can you poison without being caught? Which other player’s neck can you snap while feeling the smallest amount of remorse? These things are CLASSIC! If you can only play one party game ever, it SHOULD be this one.

Well, that’s all for this month! I sure hope you enjoyed it, because I KNOW that the goods were delivered this month. Just as they are EVERY month. Be sure to tune in next month when much AMAZEMENT comes your way—it’s a GUARANTEE that you will just simply EXPLODE. Probably into some super amazing firework, like explosions, too, because well, the THUMBS are just THAT good.
