WHAT:

In one of the coolest cooling centers around the city, local residents are welcome all weekend long to participate in Wii Games: Summer 2010 activities at Liberty State Park. Nintendo of America today launched Wii Games: Summer 2010, a first-of-its-kind tournament inviting consumers to get up and get playing with motion-control video games for the Wii™ system. New Jersey’s Liberty State Park was the site of a large-scale kick-off event, featuring an opening ceremony and an appearance by Olympic gold medalist Shawn Johnson.

“Let’s put it this way I think we would all love to think that GoldenEye may make it onto the 3DS. Today we’re talking about the Wii, but yeah if you were at E3 and you played with the 3DS it’s a great bit of hardware and we’d love to see it on there. But we don’t know, there’re no plans yet. I think if Nintendo approached us we’d consider anything.” – Activision’s Julian Widdow

I think we could see this happen eventually. GoldenEye 007 is hitting the DS later this year, and you may remember that Rogue Agent also landed on the portable. Perhaps Activision will call on n-Space to make another handheld James Bond title, but for the 3DS sometime in the future.

“We will have six to eight of the key launch titles on 3DS, so we are expecting anywhere between 25 and 30 per cent share on that platform.” – UK sales director Darren Bowen

It sounds like the 3DS will have a much stronger lineup than the DS had. You may remember that only 11 titles were released in North America alongside the DS. I just hope we see Nintendo’s new portable sooner rather than later!
