NCS Game Synopsis
«©NCS» After
being poisoned by a member of a criminal cabal, a
17-year old amateur sleuth named
Shinichi Kudo resists death but reverts into a
6-year old version of himself. Despite his
miniature body, Shinichi's mind is as sharp as
ever and he adopts a new identity and name. Now
known as Conan Edogawa, the baby-faced detective
helps another gumshoe named Kogoro Mori solve
cases while learning more about the criminals that
poisoned him.
The Wii Meitantei Conan game features a new story where Kogoro Mori
and his daughter Ran Mori take five kids to the
opening of a new amusement park. One of the five
kids is Conan and the other four are Genta Kojima,
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya, Ayumi Yoshida, and Ai Haibara.
Upon arriving, the group is greeted and treated
graciously by their hosts. After the introductions
are made and supporting characters are introduced,
Conan and friends visit an arcade which is filled
with UFO catcher machines, arcade games, and three
games that Conan can play to his heart's content.
To control Conan, players use the D-Pad on the Wii Remote but
the motion function of the remote is also used to
point a cursor at characters and objects to
inspect them further. Conan also keeps a logbook
of clues that he's uncovered for reference and
introspection. Clues may also be chained together
once there are enough of them to deduce rational
conclusions that can solve a mystery.

NCS Game Notes
»
Intro - a multi-level auditorium of some sort
appears and the camera spins around to focus on a
crystal statue in the center of the arena. Action
scenes of Conan running, a dark figure who walks
around, more inside shots of the auditorium and
the crystal statue play. The various cast of
characters also appear in muted sequences. The
black figure stands in front of the crystal statue
and Conan walks into the scene and stands behind
him. The figure turns around with white eyes
blazing. They stand facing each other for a few
seconds before Conan releases a soccer ball from
his utility belt and kicks it forward. The screen
fades and the title screen pops into view.
» Press A + B on the Wii Remote and the following
selections appear
NEW GAME / Begin a new adventure
OPTIONS / Set message speed, sound
volumes for BGM, SE, and VOICES, and restore
defaults
» Start a NEW GAME and it's night time outside a
tower. Inside, three black figures are assembled
and speaking in deep voices - they are designated
and differentiated by the letters A, B, and C.
Other than that, they look identical to each other
and are non-descript. They are members of the
criminal cabal that poisoned Conan. The scene
shifts to a white car running outside as its
engine rumbles - the license plate is 88-88. A
crash may be heard and the scene shifts to four
escalators inside a venue. The scene changes again
to take in 5 kids and 2 adults who are on one of
the escalators and talking amongst themselves.
They've been invited to the grand opening of a new
amusement park and the kids are excited at what
they'll experience in the hours ahead. Kogoro Mori
wears a purple suit and takes a more dour view of
the occasion but that's just him. Although Conan
looks like a little kid, he is actually an 17 year
old who's been shrunken into his present form by
way of a poison administered to him by one of the
black figures. There's also a girl named Ai
Haibara in the group who created the poison that
was used on Conan. She took the poison as well but
instead of dying, she reverted into a young girl.
» The group arrives at the hotel and are greeted
by a chipper little girl in pink who squeaks out,
"Arigato!" and Ran Mori greets her in turn
followed by the chorus of kids. Kogoro acts like a
pompous buffoon but that's just him. They descend
the stairs to the fountain and are greeted by a
brunette in a maid's outfit who welcomes them
further. After an introduction, she takes them
into a dining room with beautifully decorated
tables and guests dressed to the nines. The
control is handed over to the player at this
point. Use the d-pad on the Wii Remote to move Conan
around and interact with the other guests as well
as the hired help by walking up to them and
pressing the "A" button on the Wii
Remote.
» After talking to all of the people milling
around, walk back to the waitress/maid and speak
to her. After the interaction, Conan will be able
to move a magnifying glass icon around the room to
examine the other people further for details. The
magnifier is controlled by waving the Wii Remote
around to highlight a character in the room. The
emcee in the red monkey suit is suitably brutish
to be a suspect all by himself. After examining
everyone, the emcee gets up on stage and starts
the event.
» Shortly after the emcee begins the event, the
hosts get on stage and welcome the guests to the
grand opening of the amusement park. On the floor,
the woman in the yellow outfit and the guy in the
olive suit get into an argument and she tears away
from him and walks away. Conan is observing the
fracas and his friends walk up to him to get their
conversation on. The woman in the yellow outfit is
later found dead and Conan has a murder mystery to
solve.
» In the next scene, Conan is in an arcade filled
with UFO Catcher machines, Coffee Life beverage
dispensers, and arcade games. The kids are playing
games and Kogoro is engrossed in what looks like a
casino game. Ran is looking at a UFO Catcher
machine filled with boxed toys figures. The bleeps
and bloops of video gaming may be heard underneath
the constant ditty that plays during the course of
the game. To enjoy a special "Whack a Mole"
mini-game in the arcade, walk to the left of where
Kogoro is playing and stand in front of the
machine. Press A and a short tutorial auto-plays.
Press A again and four blue-colored pipes appear
on the N, S, E, and W sides of the screen. As
brown moles appear from out of the pipes, you'll
have to swish the red hammer on screen with the
Wii Remote by swinging it to the left, to the right,
to the north and to the south. It's sort of tricky
at first due to the way that the Wii Remote must be
swung to register a hit but you'll soon by hitting
rodents like a pro. Our record was 41 moles for a
score of 8200. The mole that appears from the top
pipe is particularly vexing to smack.
» If you walk up to the entrance to the arcade and
check out the machine to the left, you'll be able
to play a mini-game called "AGUNI" where you fire
bullets at armored soldiers who appear in a
war-wracked battlefield. To shoot, press the B
button and to reload your gun, swish the Wii
Remote
to the left or right to fill up the chambers
again. Your gun can only carry 8 bullets at any
one time. Your health status is tracked with a
human figure located on the lower left corner of
the screen. If your parts are healthy, they're
colored a golden hue. If a part is hurt, it'll
blank out to black. By using deft maneuvering of
the Wii Remote and eagle-eyed precision, you'll be
able to dispatch the soldiers as they appear on
the battlefield. The soldiers counterattack with
gunfire but you can shoot down their bullets.
Things get tougher when four bullets are flying at
you from four different directions. The other
thing to keep in mind is that you can only damage
the enemy soldiers after they've finished running
and their HP bars appear over their heads. Once
they're in place, you can start shooting to make
sure your bullets will do some damage. The
difficulty ramps up considerably after a few waves
of attackers.
» To the right of the entrance (if you're facing
the doors) is third playable arcade game where you
control a blue suited hero who faces off against a
purple sword carrying opponent or a monster with a
right tentacle that looks like a mushroom with a
humanoid body. As it is about to attack, swish to
Wii Remote to the left or right when the arrow cues
appear to avoid its blow. To attack, press and
hold the B button and push the Wii Remote forward
into the screen to level a punch. During this
game, you'll only score if you defeat the
opponent. Your punches won't add anything to your
score. There's also a punch power gauge on the
lower right corner of the screen. If it's filled,
your punches will do more damage. Mushroom Man is
easier to defeat than the purple-suited guy
» To save your game at any time, press the "1"
button and then select the first option on the
upper-left portion of the screen. Next, select a
save slot and store your progress to memory.
» Sadly, none of the UFO Catcher machines in the
arcade can be played.
» To ride on Conan's skateboard, press the "+"
button when his skateboard icon is highlighted on
the lower-right corner of the screen. Use the
d-pad to maneuver him around.
