Alaska – the harsh northern extremity of America. Come April, the chilling winter begins to loosen its grip on the land. The seemingly endless nights grow shorter, day by day, and the frozen wilderness starts to thaw.

In the heart of this majestic setting lies a small town whose weary inhabitants eagerly await the arrival of spring. Montgomery Memorial Hospital watches over the town like an old man. In this remote hospital toil two doctors, Markus Vaughn and Valerie Blaylock, who share a common bond and are about to be swallowed by the jaws of fate…

The two doctors will be called upon to battle a deadly disease and become entangled in a conspiracy with dire ramifications. Only by honing their special healing gifts will Dr. Vaughn and Dr. Blaylock be able to save the precious lives placed in their hands and put a stop to the virus before it spreads to the furthest reaches of the planet.

In Trauma Center: New Blood, every move you make with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk could be a matter of life and death. Whenever you’re in the operating room, you’ll have to keep your hand steady and your mind focused to ensure the safety of your patients. Thankfully, for the first time in the Trauma Center series, you can share the burden of responsibility with another doctor and work side by side in co-op mode.

When you play with a friend, how you coordinate the operation is up to you. You and your partner each have your own set of instruments, so you can work together in the same area, or if there are multiple affected areas, work separately. One of you could apply antibiotic gel and maintain the patient‘s vitals while the other uses the laser. There are a number of possibilities, so it’s a good idea to plan ahead and decide who will do what, only on Nintendo Wii.
