Kirby is coming to the Wii [Comments Off]
CVG reports that Nintendo’s recently unveiled release schedule lists a game called “Hoshi No Kirby” (“Kirby Of The Stars”) for the Wii.
Unfortunately, the game, just like the new “Zelda” title, is without a confirmed release date. Suck it up!?
Super Mario Galaxy 2 all trailered up [5]
As promised earlier, here’s the trailer for “Super Mario Galaxy”, fresh from Nintendo’s american Game Summit.
Let’s be honest here, if this does not look fantastic to you, you’re dead inside. It has Yoshi for crying out loud — whose tongue seems to be controlled with the Wii-Remote’s pointer.
Trailer is after the break. It’s a bit sad I still have to tell you these things after all these years. continue reading →
Update: Metroid and Mario get dated [1]
Original Story: Kotaku Australia is reporting that we will likely see Nintendo’s first two heavy hitters of the year, namely “Metroid Other M” and “Super Mario Galaxy” earlier than we had initially thought, the publisher pinning the release-date to a “Mid Year” release window.
How does that make you feel?
Update:
“Super Mario Galaxy 2″ is coming to the US on May 23rd, “Metroid Other M” is scheduled for June 27th. “Galaxy 2″ trailer coming up later today.
Nintendo introduces the DSi LL [Comments Off]
A not so surprising announcement from Nintendo this morning: The DSi LL, a DSi with 2 4.2 inch screens (in lieu of the 3.2 inch screens currently employed) will see the light of the day on the 21st of November for 20.000 yen.
We will update this space when people have translated the japanese site or the press release. And no, we do not know what ‘LL’ stands for, either. Favorite one I’ve heard so far? “Lounge Lizard”.
Nintendo’s Denise Kaigler doesn’t get it [Comments Off]
In an interview with Wired Denise Kaigler, VP of corporate affairs at Nintendo, talks about hardcore third party games finding little to no success on the Wii:
You know, I don’t know. It’s hard to say. It could be titles have the same type of sales curve that a lot of Nintendo titles have. A lot of Nintendo titles don’t follow that traditional sales curve where they launch big and then that’s it. Our titles have a long tail. They build in popularity, and this could be the case with, as you mentioned, MadWorld and The Conduit. I’ve played both. I’m not a core gamer, and I found that they were challenging and fun. We’re hopeful that the titles will catch on and that consumers who already have those games will spread the word and others will follow suit there. They’re deep experiences, and they’re very challenging titles, and we certainly like them. But it’s our hope that the games will pick up in popularity and they’ll continue to sell.
I know, It’s easy to say: “MadWorld” was niche, “The Conduit” was garbage. “TimeShift” probably didn’t set the world on fire either, but you don’t see those guys complaining.
Forza 3 and Layton more expensive in UK [Comments Off]
Eurogamer reports that just like Modern Warfare 2, Forza 3 and the next Professor Layton have had their price increased by the publishers.
“Whether planned, or a case of jumping on the popular franchises bandwagon, we have seen Microsoft increase the price of Forza 3 to £49.99 and Nintendo increase the price of Professor Layton [and Pandora's Box] to £34.99,” ShopTo boss Igor Cipolletta told us. “I sincerely hope that not all publishers will follow this lead.”
“The price increases that some publishers think the market can stand are, to say the least, a worrying trend, and appear to be more than just a result of currency fluctuations.”
Still cheaper than the games in mainland Europe. Still ridiculous and unneccessary.
Suda 51 wants Travis Touchdown in next Smash Brothers game [Comments Off]
I love No More Heroes! Do you love No More Heroes? You better, because thanks to series creator Suda 51, there’s a slight glimmer of hope, that Travis Touchdown might appear in the next Smash Brothers game, dual beam katanas included — we hope!
I love him (Travis), and I want him to be a huge star. That’s why I’m working very hard to make this game as interesting as possible. Maybe in the future, we can see him fighting alongside Link in the next Smash Bros. [laughs] That would be great.
So Suda, speaking to Nintendo D-Pad.
Nintendo’s press conference was not all bad: Metroid Other M by Team Ninja [Comments Off]
Nintendo’s press conference was not a complete disaster, bringing the announcements of a 4-player New Mario Bros. for Wii, Mario Galaxy 2 (this time with Yoshi!) but also, probably the biggest surprise of this E3, a brand new entry into the Metroid franchise, Metroid Other M, developed by none other than Team Ninja, coming in 2010. Stoked!
