Had enough of E3 yet? We don't think have. So here's some more closed demo info and impressions for you all. We drop back to the Wii with Majesco's lineup, including another workout game for the Balance Board and two rather promising adventure titles.

I'm talking about Flip's Twisted World, a rather under-hyped 3D platform title, and a boy and his blob, the artistic remake of an NES classic.

Despite having obvious appeal for younger audiences and families, both games actually look well-made, and any gamer with an appreciation for the lighter side of video games might be interested. Or maybe you just really dig Jillian Michaels.

The adventure genre is a bit limited on the Wii, and players often have to rely on Nintendo for decent games like Super Mario Galaxy or even Klonoa. Majesco is trying to help curb that unfortunate trend with the release of Frozen North's Flip's Twisted World. Players will take on the role of Flip, a magician's apprentice, after a spell with a magical artifact went horribly wrong and tossed him into a crazy universe. Trapped in that artifact, Flip must now navigate through the obstacles so that he can return to the real world and restore things to normal before his master comes home.

A unique property coming to the Wii is the story a boy and his blob. The game takes the original foundation by the 1989 NES title and spins it into a very artistic and interactive world. The first major change was the game's storybook aesthetics and how smooth the flow of animation was for each gesture. Those aspects alone changed it from mere remake into more immersive experience for the masses, given that the entire game was hand drawn and painted with an engine designed specifically for the Wii.
