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.

SEGA has just announced “Sonic the Hedgehog 4″ (the official title of Project Needlemouse) for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii. The game will be a full on 2D “Sonic” game rendered in lush 3D.
SEGA is planning an episodical release via the respective download services with Episode 1 available this summer.
Check out the teaser trailer after the break. continue reading →
Mega Man 10 announced in Nintendo Power [1]
Capcom announced “Mega Man 10″ in the january issue of Nintendo Power.
Again, the game will sport the iconic 8-bit look and will most likely be harder than chewing nails. Without teeth.
However, the game will now feature an easy-mode, which will help newcomers to the franchise, as well as fans to get back into the saddle — it will probably still be hard.
Platform availability, aside from WiiWare, and release dates have not been released, but we’ll keep you posted.
No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle Trailer blowout [Comments Off]
Ubisoft has just released 3 new trailers for my new favorite game “No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle”.
Jesus Christ people, what else do you want me to say? There’s 3 trailers for a new Suda 51 game after the break, go watch them already. Watch them hard.
It’s out January 27th for the Wii. Count the minutes. continue reading →
EA frustrated with the Wii [Comments Off]
EA is a bit sad. Not just because they’re still bleeding money like crazy and had to let 1,300 people go, but also because their Wii games aren’t selling as well as they’d like.
John Riccitiello was whining about this in yersterday’s conference call:
“To be honest with you, I think the Wii platform has been a little weaker than we had certainly anticipated. And there is no lack of frustration to be doing that at precisely the time where we have the strongest third-party share. Frankly, I think they need more beats in the year than they get out of a first-party slate – to be able to have the Wii software platform perform as well as they would like. We are building the products that I think the most highly rated on the platform and at this point in time, generating the most revenue of any third-party platform.
Wii is where we are missing it and so I really do think that the opportunity exists to find different ways to partner with first party in this case to sort of help establish in the minds of the consumer legitimacy of some of these other brands when they are going out multiplatform because very, very few multiplatform titles are succeeding on the Wii.”
Here, Mr. Riccitiello, have some cheese with that. Ok, so here’s the deal: No one cares about your dumb Wii games. Keep making EA Sports Active and you’ll be golden. Every dollar wasted on another on-rails shooter is a dollar that could’ve gone towards someone’s salary — preferably one of those people you just fired.
Yes, there are 50 million Wii consoles out there, but most people have theirs either hacked or are busy deciding between “Raving Rabbids” and “Carnival Games” to play with their grandmother, bless her heart.
Oh, in totally unrelated EA news, you know what else is going to bomb, and bomb hard? “Skate 3″. Fuck “Skate 3″.
Thanks to GI.biz for the transcript.
Digital Foundry gets its Reflex on [Comments Off]
Eurogamer’s Richard Leadbetter sat down and took a long, hard look at “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Reflex” for the Wii, which is Treyarch’s Wii port of the original “Modern Warfare”. The conclusion is not shocking, albeit a bit surprising:
The notion of porting Modern Warfare to the Wii isn’t so whacked out or as ker-azy as you might initially think for a number of reasons. The first Modern Warfare’s core engine still has a fair amount of DNA left over from the Quake tech upon which the Call of Duty franchise itself was born. The basic setup of the levels in Modern Warfare offers little that any last-generation shooter couldn’t cope with, and this is born out by the quality of the conversion in the Wii game.
Another remark is also rather interesting, as it showcases just how little care goes into making most of the games coming out on the Wii:
The Wii game is serviceable enough but when Criterion’s Black still looks so much better, it’s clear that no technological barriers are being pushed back on the Nintendo console.
A bit sad, innit. Read the full article here. Also, watch the PS3 vs. Wii comparison video. For the lulz.
