Atlus Issues Two Trauma Center Press Releases

Here for your reading enjoyment, Atlus has provided us with two Trauma Center press releases. What can I say, I love Atlus! I can’t wait for the Wii version to come out!

First, Trauma Center: Second Opinion was confirmed as a launch title for Nintendo’s new, highly anticipated console””Wii, which is poised to take the video game world by storm in the fourth quarter of 2006. This robust “Wii-make” of Under the Knife features new graphics and animation, new surgical implements and operation types, a second playable character with all-new missions, multiple difficulty modes for gamers of all skill levels, and a revised control system that takes full advantage of the revolutionary Wii Remote and Nunchuk-style controller.

Using both controllers like a defibrillator is going to be really cool. Multiple difficulty modes? I’ve never played the DS version, but I’ve heard it gets pretty hard towards the end.

In addition, thanks to a wave of demand triggered by the launch of the Nintendo DS Lite, Trauma Center: Under the Knife will receive a second re-release, to arrive at retail in mid-August. Under the Knife has been hailed by critics as “arguably the most compelling use of the touch screen yet [Modojo]“¦One of the most creative and entertaining experiences the DS has offered [GotNext].”

This is great news for someone like me, who’s been looking for the game for the past two months but can’t find it anywhere.
