REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Fans of Nintendo’s fashion-themed Style Savvy™ game for the Nintendo DS™ and Nintendo DSi™ systems will have access to some hot new designs this year, thanks to an expanded partnership between Nintendo and renowned entertainment icon Beyoncé. Style Savvy players with broadband Internet access will soon be able to download five designs from the real-life Deréon clothing line co-created by Beyoncé and her mother, designer Tina Knowles. As managers of their own virtual boutiques, players can incorporate these chic Deréon fashions as they create one-of-a-kind looks for their in-game clientele.
“Style Savvy is all about creativity and fashion, both of which are really important to me,” says Beyoncé. “I love that I get to become a stylist and take over my own boutique, and it’s so much fun to see some of my Deréon designs added to the mix.”

– Nintendo has reinvented their franchise in the past, so Peer says you have to forgive the podcast crew for being a little disappointed
– Peer thinks Galaxy 2 will be a safe sequel, which is fine, but if it happens 3 more times, then you start getting disappointed

Reggie: Zelda Wii will be released when it is perfect
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 132 Comments
Last week, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata stated that the next Zelda title for Wii will be released this year. While that still may be the case, don’t expect the title to ship until it’s perfect. That’s what Reggie Fils-Aime, President and COO of Nintendo of America, had to say about Zelda Wii when he was asked about it on the latest episode of Nintendo Week. You can watch the entire interview on the Nintendo Channel, but we’ve posted Fils-Aime’s remarks concerning Zelda Wii below.
“Right now, it’s still in development, but the key message that Mr. Miyamoto and Mr. Aonuma is telling us is that it really has to be perfect when it launches. That really is what the Zelda fan is expecting. So for all those Zelda fans out there right now, what I would say is, enjoy Spirit Tracks and know that the Zelda title for Wii will come out when it’s perfect.”

Update: Strangely, the picture was replaced with the cover art for the upcoming issue. It’s possible that the image was not supposed to be seen yet, or it’s not an actual representation of the game. If need be, we may have to take down the shot included in this post.
In the upcoming issue of Nintendo Power, the magazine features an exclusive first look at NBA Jam for Wii, which was officially announced today. While much of the game is still shrouded in mystery, the eight-page article present in issue 251 will have some of the first gameplay details. The magazine should hit newsstands and mailboxes soon, but until then, you can take a look at the title’s logo and get a first look at how the game will look above.
