This information comes from the ESRB…

Platform: Wii
Rating: Mature

Content descriptors: Blood, Violence

Rating summary:

This is a first-person shooter in which players take control of an elite special-forces unit. Missions are set “behind enemy lines” in a number of Middle Eastern-style locations. Players use “run-and-gun” tactics as they navigate tight alleyways and corridors, secure buildings, and kill enemy forces. Realistic machine guns, shotguns, and grenades are used throughout each mission. The blood effects account for the Mature rating: When a player is shot by an enemy, the camera jerks slightly and a semi-opaque red effect covers the screen; large sprays of blood burst out of injured characters and linger in the air for a brief period.

This information comes from a recent Bloomberg article…

“Our read on the consumer is very strong. What we are seeing today is a strong momentum for hardware and software. Profitability in this industry is in software. The software peak in this industry should be this year and next year. [Nintendo commands] a growing advantage against key competitors. I look at our performance and see it’s right on track with where we believed it would be.” – Reggie Fils-Aime

Right now, we don’t know much about Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands. Ubisoft has said that the game will continue the Sands of Time storyline and that it “is scheduled to be released May 2010 for consoles and handhelds.” Unfortunately, the company has yet to specify which systems the title will land on. GameFly, however, has provided a clue as to where it’ll end up.

According to the retailer, Forgotten Sands will be releasing for the Wii, DS, PS3, Xbox 360, and PSP. I’m inclined to believe this information because GameFly has been spot on with things like this in the past. But seeing as how Forgotten Sands will be present at the Spike TV Video Game Awards tomorrow night, it’s more than possible that we’ll receive a confirmation about this information very soon.

“”If the only real difference were the change from SD to HD, that would be rather boring. But we both know, Nintendo wouldn’t be Nintendo if they didn’t add something extra, and we’re already looking forward to finding out what [it is]” – Square Enix, Akitoshi Kawazu

I don’t think Wii HD would be boring, and in fact, I hope to see support for it in the next Nintendo console. However, I definitely agree with Kawazu that HD functionality alone would be boring. I’m sure Nintendo is considering some new hook for their next console, though.
