“Mr. Iwata did not make any comments regarding the functions of Nintendo’s future hardware systems. The answer to the reporter’s question was misinterpreted.” – Charlie Scibetta, Nintendo of America’s senior director of corporate communications

While it’s possible that Iwata’s words were misinterpreted, that doesn’t seem too likely to me unless the Asahi Shumbun made some sort of huge error. And remember, Nintendo has been known to deny things in the past. I’d like to hear something from Iwata himself that he never made any remarks about the next DS before I fully believe this news, especially since this is just a statement from a spokesperson.

“Nintendo’s Metroid Prime: Trilogy is the ultimate collector’s edition experience for fans of the Metroid Prime series, combining all three critically acclaimed games on one disc with Wii motion controls. Copies of the game are currently available at major retailers nationwide. The next highly anticipated offering in the Metroid franchise is Metroid: Other M, which will be available this year.” – Nintendo statement

Even though Nintendo is saying that Metroid: Other M, Super Mario Galaxy 2, and Zelda Wii will all be released this year, I just don’t see that happening. I think Galaxy 2 will be released sometime this year for sure since the game is almost finished with development. If I had to guess, I’d say Zelda Wii is the most likely title to be delayed out of the three.

Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH is to bring Hudson Soft’s popular Sports Island series to Nintendo DS in May 2010, with a special edition featuring 10 all-new events specifically designed for the handheld.

Sports Island DS uses a combination of the touch screen capabilities of the hardware and button use to give the player total control within its 10 events. Players can try their hand at Rugby, Table Tennis, Sepak Takraw (a version of Volleyball wherein players kick the ball as opposed to punching it), Arm Wrestling, Bobsled, Climbing, Sky-Diving, Clay Pigeon Shooting, Golf, and Cheerleading.
