Update: March 7, 2007 «©NCSX» Sena Kobayakawa is secretly Eyeshield 21, a mighty football hero capable of rushing through lines of defense and blowing past hunkering blockers. Sena is normally an easily cowed victim of the wretched Hah-Hah Brothers but when he puts on a football jersey and a green-visored helmet, he's literally a new man. Previous Eyeshield 21 games featured rudimentary D-pad control schemes but the Wii version puts you in the game with lots of hand jive and wrist flicking motion. When two teams are at the line of scrimmage, wag the Wii Remote left and right so your team pushes up against the opposing team. To snap a throw to a receiver, wave the remote back and then whip your arm forward to hurl pigskin. Kicks are performed by lifting the Wii Remote upwards in an uninterrupted arc to punt the football. The usual characters are featured in the game including the monster known as Ryokan Kurita, the maniacal Yoichi Hiruma, Taro Raimon, and Mamori Anezaki. Ten teams battle it out on the field such as the Ohjo White Knights, Koigahama Cupid, Zokugaku Chameleons, Taiyo Sphinxes, Seibu Wild Gunmans, and the NASA Aliens. An interactive and stylized game of football is the main thrust of Wii Eyeshield 21 but mini-games may also be enjoyed including a grilling challenge which mimics Yakiniku Bugyou Bonfire!

NCS Game Notes » American football isn't really played anywhere else in the world other than America but there's a niche Japanese following in Nihon. Football means soccer in most parts of the globe.» The game starts off in the Devil Bats locker room with Sena standing by himself. If you look to the right, two Devil Bats pachi-slot machines may be viewed but not played. If you walk into the next room, the lockers line both sides of the walls. The first thing to do is to walk up to the water cooler and check the red Devil Bats book that's to the right of the cooler. A bevy of tutorials on playing football via Wii Remote are enclosed within. » When two teams are face to face, Kurita is inordinately large when viewed against the other players. One would think that he'd dominate the field since his girth is useful for blocking but his lack of speed negates his bulk. » The Wii Remote is used for all of the on-field antics. When dashing for a field goal, oncoming rushers as seen through Sena's green-visor may be dodged by deftly flicking the Wii Remote to the left or right. If you're courageous, you may also flick the Wii Remote up to leap over blockers or down to do a duck and dash move. » When the ball is fumbled, it's shown bouncing around the field. To capture it, watch where it lands and then maneuver the Wii Remote to target and grab it before an opponent gets there first. Japanese Region Alert Please note that Japanese Wii games are not compatible with USA or European Wii consoles. Please do not purchase this game if you only own a USA or European Wii because you will not be able to play the game. Jan Code: 4902370515855 This document is ©NCSX 2007. All rights reserved.
