We're back for another week of Video Game Bits. With E3 now behind us, all we've got to look forward to for the next little while is BlizzCon 2007, in August, and the E for All Expo, in October. Unless, that is, we've forgotten something. Something like the game releases that will keep us busy for hours and days on end. It's not too long until Mario Strikers Charged, Boogie or Metroid Prime 3: Corruption are out for Wii,. Or, if you've got an Xbox 360 or a Playstation 3, you're probably waiting for Stranglehold or Medal of Honor: Airborne. We've all got something to look forward to between shows. Either way, in the end, it's all about the games. So let's get to today's Video Game Bits.

Namco reels in a Big Fish


Namco Networks, a subsidiary of Namce which develops and publishes wireless games and network content, and casual game developer/publisher/distributor, Big Fish Games announced a partnership today, which will bring Big Fish's online games to the mobile platform across North America for the first time. The first game to release under the new partnership will be Atlantis Sky Patrol, a casual puzzle game in which players must knock out doomsday devices by shooting and matching chains of coloured marbles, which run on a track,.before the chain reaches the detonation core of the device and causes it to explode. In order to destroy the device and get the next level, players have to first destroy the static marbles that constantly regenerate in the moving chains. Atlantis Sky Patrol is currently expected to be released for North American wireless carriers this winter. No other games have been mentioned as part of the partnership at this time.

Disney's DGamer


As we said, if we missed any news from E3, we'd catch it later, so here we are. At E3 last week, Disney announced a new way that Nintendo DS users who play Disney games will be able to connect to each other worldwide through a new feature it calls DGamer. DGamer will provide a connected game community for Disney video game users to interact with each other, customize and share things between their Nintendo Dss, as well as on computers via the new Disney.co m web site. DGamer will use the Nintendo Wi-Fi connection to allow players to interact and chat with each other, whether they are in the same room or on the other side of the world. DGamer players will be able to create a customized personal avatar, make new friends, chat with friends, view friends’ high scores and vote in polls. All of these features will be integrated into the DGamer Channel on Disney.com. DGamer will be included with Disney Interactive Studios' Nintendo DS games starting next year, including The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, Spectrobes II and Hannah Montana 3. Currently, DGamer is set to launch in North America in May 2008 and in international territories at a later, currently unannounced, time.
