"Having gone almost two years without any solid gameplay footage or information, you could be forgiven for thinking that Disaster: Day Of Crisis was stuck in development hell. Then, strangely, all of a sudden we were told it'd be out in a matter of weeks. And today we found ourselves going hands-on with the finished game. It's all happened so quickly... a bit like an earthquake, we suppose."

"The official Japanese site confirmed what plenty of people, including me, imagined. Disaster: Day of Crisis combat segments feel like a light gun game with a cover system. To fire your gun you point with the remote and pull the trigger with the B button. Dont break out the Wii Zapper yet. While Disaster: Day of Crisis has arcade style shooting it has events that wouldnt work right if the remote/nunchuck were encased in a plastic shell.
Videos show rapid shaking solves most crises. Want ..."

The official word from Nintendos Japanese arm is that the development period for Disaster: Day of Crisis has been extended in order that a better ..."

"If there was ever a game we were waiting on to see some actual substance from, it's Disaster: Day of Crisis. And, much like the character receiving treatment above, we're glad to see the title has been given the 'ole CPR. While we'd like to say these new screens are accompanied by some kind of release window, sadly we can't say anything to that effect. But, that won't keep us from enjoying the knowledge that the game is still alive and breathing."
