“Most of my all time favorite games are Nintendo games. I have touched Shigeru Miyamoto with my bare hands!!! (He was very soft and pleasant.) Double Fine would love to make something for Nintendo’s fine machine, but it’s not up to us. It’s the publisher’s money, so they get to decide what platform to invest in. In other words, IT’S NOT OUR FAULT! I personally would have loved to make Psychonauts for the Game Cube. (Well, not literally me personally. I would have loved to tell someone else to make it, and I would have loved to watch them do it, and I would have loved yelling, “Faster! Faster!” as they worked.) I really hope we get a chance to make a game for the Wii some day. Why don’t you spam your favorite publisher with mail right now and ask them to send us money to make a Wii game? (And a little extra money for a pool table?)” – Tim Schafer

Double Fine has made a few fantastic titles over the past decade. There’s Psychonauts of course, and Brutal Legend more recently. The funny thing is, we did hear a few rumors about that title coming to Wii, although it was supposedly being made by a different developer.

Game Info:

System: Nintendo Wii
Category: Platformer
Players: 1
Developer: Dimps, Sonic Team
Publisher: Sega

It goes without saying that most modern Sonic games haven’t exactly been great. After the hedgehog made the jump from two dimensions to three, he’s been stuck in a downward spiral filled with annoying animal friends, werehogs, and bizarre interspecies romances. Sonic needed a return to his glory days, and who better to attempt this than the developers of the surprisingly good Sonic Rush and the Sonic Advance series, Dimps. With Sonic 4, Dimps were tasked with creating a Sonic game that would both bring back fond memories of Sonic Team’s early games on the Sega Genesis and Mega Drive, still be an entertaining 2D platformer, and please Sonic’s unappeasable fanbase. Did they manage to pull off all of these things? No, not really.

As you may have noticed, the posts we’ve added to the site have started to slow down. Of course, that’s because tomorrow is Thanksgiving! We’ll most likely see less and less news starting tomorrow, and that’ll last until Monday. It’s possible that we’ll still see a few notices from Europe, and I’m sure there’ll be some news from Japan as well. On the whole, though, I’m not expecting too much.

I’ll still be around to cover things for the most part, but I’ll be treating the next couple of days somewhat like a weekend. I’m not entirely sure what my schedule will be like exactly, so we’ll see. Hopefully you guys will spend some time with your family/friends! I’ll be heading off to see the new Harry Potter film at some point (I know, that’s not really something most people do on Thanksgiving), watching a few football games (go Jets!), and having a nice, quiet dinner.

In any case, don’t eat too much turkey, and enjoy your Thanksgiving if you’re celebrating!

This information comes from Gaijin Games’s website…

“Be sure to rate the demo via the Nintendo Channel’s rating system though, because games that score higher than Bronze will get to keep their demos longer! Otherwise, this sucker’s gone in 4 weeks!”

Hmmm… That’s really interesting. I had no idea that the Nintendo Channel has a great deal of authority as to when WiiWare demos are removed. Your vote truly does count!
