Old video is old but I am posting anyway. Trauma Center is one of my favorite Wii games and it is certainly a game that I can never get tired of playing. With the removal of the timer and making the game easier overall, I just hope it doesn’t suffer too bad as I loved the challenge the previous Trauma titles brought.

Behind The Scenes

How exactly did I miss this? Actually, I didn’t miss the announcement but I never watched the trailer. It looks so pretty!

RT @AtlusUSA: Trauma Team for #Wii first look from @honestgamerHG http://bit.ly/92tErg #traumateam

One of the games in my backlog is Trauma Center: New Blood. I fell in love with this series when I decided to rent Second Opinion when I got my Wii back in 2007. From that point forward, anything in the Trauma Center series is an instant purchase for me…if I have the console to play it. That leads me to New Blood. The day I purchased it was the day a friend and I sat and played it co-op until the last level. We…I haven’t touched it since. Watching someone get a XS ranking on it is making me want to put batteries in my Wiimote and take on the surgery. Trauma Team can’t come soon enough!

No, it’s not a game. It is Atlus sharing their process in translating games so that you don’t ask “How hard can it be to translate a simple game like this?” Give it a read and check out a few of their other posts.
