Nintendo UK: More fantastic new experience coming to Wii
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
This information comes from Nintendo UK marketing manager James Honeywell…
“We’ve been really pleased with Wii and how it has performed. It’s the market leader in the UK by some margin. I think it has been proven really that it is Britain’s favourite home console with a huge install base. But obviously as you reach a certain level things perhaps might slow down, but again we’ve got a really strong line-up, we’re really proud with what we’ve achieved in getting it into so many homes, and we’ve have a strong campaign for promotion this year and think it will continue as a strong viable format. I guess we haven’t made any announcements recently because we’ve been concentrating on the 3DS launch, but there are still lots of games to come. I’m sure you’ll see at this year’s E3. For anybody who has a Wii, they can rest assured that we’ll be bringing some fantastic new experiences to them.”
Well, Nintendo of Europe just revealed Xenoblade Chronicles, which is definitely a fantastic experience. The new Kirby game might be released this year as well, and don’t forget about The Last Story… Nintendo has to localize that one, right?

High-Octane, Adrenaline-Fueled Adventure Tasks Players with Saving Spider-Man This Fall
Santa Monica, CA – March 31, 2011 – Activision Publishing, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) and Marvel Entertainment, LLC today announced Spider-Man™: Edge of Time, where Spider-Man faces one of his greatest challenges ever – saving Spider-Man. Developed by Activision-owned studio Beenox, Spider-Man: Edge of Time challenges the player to take on the roles of both classic Amazing Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2099 to correct a timestream gone awry and prevent a catastrophic future brought on by the early and untimely death of Peter Parker.
“The first Spider-Man entry by Beenox, Spider-Man™: Shattered Dimensions was touted as one of the wall-crawler’s best Spider-Man games to date from both critics and fans,” said Vicharin Vadakan, Director, Global Brand Management. “Beenox is once again taking a fresh and different approach to bring a fast-paced and high-octane adventure and unexpected story to life in Spider-Man: Edge of Time.”
Xenoblade Chronicles trailer

I believe this trailer was already released in Japan (especially given the Japanese text), but it’s definitely worth watching. The video features some of the impressive locations players can visit on their journey in Xenoblade Chronicles. We’re still waiting on a localization announcement for North America, though the situation is a bit more promising since the game was confirmed for Europe earlier today.

Man, if this doesn’t see a release in North America now, I’m going to be extremely displeased!

No More Heroes talk at Grasshopper Manufacture event
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii | 0 comments
Suda51 has made a number of comments in the past regarding a third No More Heroes game. The topic of another sequel was once again brought up during Grasshopper Manufacture’s charity event yesterday.
Suda51 said that “Although it won’t happen soon, I’d like to do it at some point.” Following that remark, he turned to character designer Yusuke Kozaki and mecha designer Shigeto Koyama, saying, “Let’s make it together.”
Kozaki chimed in with a couple of comments as well. Apparently there were so many unused character ideas from the first two titles in the series that two more follow-ups with these axed characters could be made. Kozaki also has interest in making a game in which Shinobu is the star of the show. Nothing is planned at the moment, however.

Ridge Racer 3D really came a long way if you ask me. To be honest, the game looked quite bad at E3, but many folks are really enjoying the game.
